Guzman versus Barrios? On paper it seems like a good match. If only Guzman would return to his "Little Tyson" days, His last four wins have come via UD, and thats doesn't sound very Tyson-like to me.


As for Barrios, he has everythign to gain and a lot less to lose in this fight. Barrios' career has been ok, with the exception of his loss to Acelino Freitas. But one thing is interesting to note about Barrios. In all his fights against undefeated fighters, he's knocked them out. Mike Anchondo, though he had weight problems, has his ass handed to him. More recently, Janos Nagy was disposed of in the first round. The lone exception to this was Freitas, who was undefeated when he beat Barrios. Even though, Barrios had a good showing against Freitas, with fight actually scored a draw before Barrios was KO'd.


IMO, this fight should be exciting. Barrios is gonna bring it, and hopefully that will wake Little Tyson up. If he doesn't, then Barrios will end another undefeated streak. If he does, then this MAY be a Fight of the Year candidate.
