Marquez deserved the victory by maybe 2 clear rounds and anyone who had Barrera ahead is having a f*cking joke with us
Marquez took the fight to Barrera in most rounds and definately won fair and square.
Rematch would be a better fight imo with both going toe to toe from the off
The recent fight between Graham Earl and Michael Katsidis had miles more War like action,knockdowns and twists and turns in only 5 rounds, absolutely no question about it.
Gotta be a rematch
I hope they don't have a rematch - barrera has been my number 1 fighter since i can remeber, he will always be my fav fighter - even tho he looked great last night, he isnt quite the same, the hunger IMO is gone! and i don't think he can quite take a punch like he could; the barrera of a few years ago would of been all over JMM like white on rice in the 8th round the way he came out, he was clearly still not with it after the knock down, his eyes liked glazed and his head hadn't clearled, barrera would of gone and hit 7 bells out of him and stopped him in that round.

Was a fantastic fight and i am happy for JMM; i think out fo the two he has the better chance to beat pac (even tho i think barrera won that fight) he has the hunger and grit to take the big hits, get up off the floor and make a go of it! Barrera now if he fights on would fight pac no doubt in my mind, but he doesn't have the hunger like he used to...
