The one thing everyone keeps forgetting is that Marquez has never been stopped & Barrera has...& by a shared foe that could not keep Marquez on the mat no matter how hard he tried...I'm speaking of the world renowned Pacquiao ofcourse.

I don't really think that it's a case of Barrera being too old...just a hard match up of styles.

Marquez will bring angles to the game that Barrera hasn't deal with in years. People talk about Barrera being diverse...Marquez is the one that is the one with diversity as the tips of his mits.

This will be a great fight...but I gotta root for my guy.

Also...Marquez has only faltered once (Freddie Norwood) against one man, drawn with another, lost to DQ in his first match...the other blemish was a robbery...a hometown decision...& it was that...I saw them all.
