Marco was a rough tough gun slinger of a fighter before he was a savvy boxer. Sometimes the origins of a fighter show up in his most desperate moments. In a way what Marco did draws admiration because he showed a will to win, whereas other fighters in moments of desperation will lay down or fake or exagerate fouls.


I can attest to that. My cousin Frankie fought Barrera whe he was more of a rough bralwer and he made it a whopping 2 rounds. Barrera deserves all the praise he receives, and is FAR from overrated.
