Barrera and Marquez put on a good show, but the judges' score's were very questionable. In other words, Barrera was robbed. Marquez hurt Barrera with a hard right hand in round seven, but Marquez was dropped shortly after from a picture-perfect right-hand-for-a-right-hand and Barrera hit him again while Marquez was on his hands because the referee failed to jump in immediately. The knockdown was not called and Barrera was penalized a point for hitting marquez while he was down. Marquez was not as aggressive as he was in the early going from that point on and Barrera continuously beat marquez to the punch, and was out-landing him. Emmanuel Steward commented on the judges' scoring saying it was very confusing how Barrera has given that city so many great fights, and the judges' turned around and robbed him like that.

Statistically Barrera the AND landed more punches . HBO gave Marco the fight . Marquez looked like he'd been hit by a truck whereas apart from a little knick Marco was unmarked . Barrera scored a knockdown yet they gave teh round 10-8 to Marquez ?!! WTF was going on . I knew after teh Forbes - Hopkins that the curse of Vegas judging would be a factor . That was a joke though . Not even sure Barrera wants a return after that he was so gutted . Marquez said it was a slip but I duno who he is trying to kid . Everyone knows Barrera floored him fair and square . If Nady jumped in at that point and called it a knockdown like he should have there would be no problem but he allowed teh action to continue so Barrera hit him again . Poor judging , poor refereeing and that may have caused an all time great to walk away from the sport .


A rematch would be great but i'm not sure Barreras heart is in it anymore. Sure he can win a return fight but what guarentee have we got that the same thing wont happen again . It disgusted Barrera but after some time out with his family he'll make up his mind .















good point jmm said he slipped of course he did.. his defense slipped and got tagged.. or he slipped into barerras punch and just knelt.. if u slip on the canvas ur a$$ should be on the floor.. not your knee.. and did u guys hear barerra say "bye bye golden boy promotions"
