"Barrera vs. PAC I" and "Juarez vs. Barrera I" You said it was Barrera's off night.
I'm wondering how many off nights will Barrera have in his career. What if "Barrera vs. PAC II" is also an off night for Barrera. LOL .Are you saying Barrera can only be defeated when its his off night. LOL.
Maybe the PAC-JMM fight was PAC's off night... what do you think
I've been silent all these years on this matter because I don't want to make excuses. But I'd like to give some facts about this (JMM) fight. Yes, Pac showed his swollen fists immediately after the fight there at the ringside on the local television, although I don't think that was a big problem. Here are some other facts: First, they treated this fight as a tune-up match before perhaps a fight with Morales, though it was just still a talk at that time (remember, this was immediately after the big Barrera fight). Second, because of that, it was widely publicized that Pac came late for his training to the dismay of coach Roach and he complained Pac came in completely out of shape. Third, during the short training period, Pac injured his legs. All these were widely publicized at that time but I guess only the Pac fans like me read those Pac articles. And most importantly, fourth, immediately after the fight right there at the ringside, the local television crew interviewed Pac and he showed both his feet; they had unusually large blisters and was swollen really badly that anyone who saw them would wonder how he can even walk with those feet (you can take my word for it, I don't lie) - Attention, any Pinoy who recorded the video of this, please post it somewhere so others can see and believe!!! He complained that he was easily counterpunched after the second round coz he cannot lunge at Marquez quickly enough, if it weren't for this, he would have ko'd Marquez easily. He said that he wanted an immediately rematch, smiling confidently (some like my friend Gyrokai says stupid smile , hi Gyro ), adding he can do easily the next time around. Marquez clearly knew that, his actions later clearly showed it. Maybe I don't need to prove that. I think the proof came from the Marquez camp itself. They rejected the rematch even when they were offered their biggest paycheck. Ok Marquez fans, if we pacfans says that Pacman clearly won that fight (which I don't), we'd be just blind fanatics. But if you believe that Marquez didn't accept the offer because it was a 'peanuts,' and instead took a measly $30,000 just to be beaten in some deep jungle, you would be as blind as some of the pac fanatics. And it's not only the fault of his trainer either, don't tell us that a boxer doesn't have a say in choosing his opponents. But I think he might just accept the rematch some day when he is ready to retire just for the money, but then it would be unfair again for the Pac because almost certainly he would be fighting a shot fighter and when he wins, he'd be accused of beating up an old man again; Pacman always loses there.
