Its a joke

Barrera boxed a completely different fight to Naz than he did against Jones he countered him off the backfoot and used his jab to keep Naz off balance giving him an extra half second to see whatever Hamed was setting up .

Against Jones , Barrera believed his own hype and was getting hit allday with silly punches his hands were down and he took that big hook flush just as he was throwing his own punches .

Most KO punches come when a fight is either coming forward or countered whilst throwing his own punch which is usually a hook .

The reasons for this is because of where their feet are ( is ) a fighter digs his feet in a little bit more thus the punch they take has a greater effect and secondly they are off balance and have leant alittle too far with their own punch postioning their body weight forward .

They are also normally slightly closer to their opponent and dont see the punches coming .

Barrera learnt from this he boxed more and used more straight punches and his feet better .

I agree with your entire post . CC

Barrera wont be fighting Marquez like he did Jones , leaving his chin out to dry . Its hard to see JMM hurting MAB in this one but I suppose weve seen bigger shots . Marco will pay more attention to his defence but at teh same time stay assertive . Abit like he was in the 1st Morales fight . His hands were high but he was the one taking the fight to Erik
