Pacquiao Barrera II October 6th

[CFH]

I think Pac will win this by KO pretty quickly as well, I hope MAB can pull out yet another great performance though. What a great run of matches we've had this year.

When I first read this I thought the fight was still happening in Vancouver, for a fleeting moment I entertained the thought of seeing this ringside. Oh well.

if pacman take himihly hes gonna lose

Could you imagine if Barrera won this fight? I'd be absolutely overjoyed, he ain't the favourite and everyone is gonna write him off but the besr version of Barrera can win this fight if everything goes to plan. Does the best version of Barrera still exist? I doubt it, but I hope so.

I am a little confused as to how I should feel and the possible outcome. Is possible that Pac comes out flat and underestimates MAB. MAB was guilty of this very occurrence ( + camp distractions) and Pac mopped the floor with him. The bad thing is that this fight has been too long in the plans and MAB has declined somewhat while Pac has matured and grown into his new weight class.

This long delay spells only financial rewards for Pac a win = nothing more than a win against a washed up boxer
loss = loss to an old aged boxer


MAB win = See Pac is not the greatest, MAB is..
loss = washed up

Pac can only win financially or if he loses in great fashion forcing a trilogy. I like MAB but not at the expense of making Soto, JMM and Guzman wait until 2008 & 2009 or Pac next contractual/ managerial mess up (kidding)

As a fan, the best I can hope for is a very entertaining fight unlike the 1st that was favorably exciting for only one boxers fans. So I hope bot parties are focused and that I do not have to read posts littered with excuses for the loss from losers legion of fans. If a focused PAC and a focused MAB enter the ring we will all see what the 1st fight failed to offer. The question is MAB's boxing time line .. ( I hope time has not ripped us fans off)

I've read this report alot. What confuses me though is I thought Pac-Soto was signed sealed and ready to be delivered on October 6th. How the hell did he get out of that contract?

Pac inside 5 rounds for me

MAB - this is one fight too many

NO FWOCKEN WAY!!!!
I think I just S*** my pants.... So where are all those anti-GBP people who kept talking S***! that GBP is the worst and that they don't care about the sport and blah! blah! blah!!

This is great so this means we could see JMM vs. PAC II early 2008 if they both win their next bouts....

I think those anti GBP people who were talking s*** were banned


How about Soto though? Seems a lot were giving him a better chance then are giving Barrera, though MAB is a much bigger name and will make a bigger card.

No gonna lie I've only seen Soto-Bobby Pac so I can't judge.

Barrera has not looked himself. Lose to JMM understandable but two close fights vs Juarez is a bad sign. I thought Juarez should've lost to up-and-comer Hernandez.


Mab is pretty worn out, add another KO to Pac's record.

Pacquiao won't take Barrera too lightly. http://www.mb.com.ph/SPRT2007070296966.html

And I agree. Pac must do the same preparation when he beat Morales.

[Julius Rain]

who is it really going to be??

there has been so many announce names for pac to fight, which one is real?

I'm been busy and away from the forum for a while, now i see pac and mab is getting hyped up for what cause is it really going to happen or is it just another name thrown out there?? for pac to fight.

I want mab to go out a winner, if he fights pac his not gonna go out like that. unless he fights again after the rematch.

this is all about the $$$$$$$$$$$ between gbp and top rank. beating mab once set pac up to stardom, beating him again gets him nothing.

pac needs to fight jmm guzman then valero or soto. not mab!!!

I'm starting to think pac is losing interest in boxing, i can't blame him. His already set for life, but I will just enjoy this era of pacman still can't see anyone beating him so yea I sure will enjoy him whooping asses.

Pac inside 5 rounds for me

MAB - this is one fight too many

Or the one fight left

[dramaking]

Pac will not fold up Barrera the way he did morales in the third fight.

Barrera is smarter and not as worn out as morales.

I say Barrera makes it interesting with boxing and countering but in the end loses a decision or a late KO. this fight might be very similiar to the first fight.



God I hope I'm wrong

[El Gamo]

Bad fight for MAB and Manny will not get much credit if he wins either. People will say he beat another washed up fighter,I'm guessing the $$$$ were to big to ignore.

I've said it before,I'll say it again,Manny's style is a nightmare for MAB. Manny is far too relentless and even though MAB had a really bad time prior to their original meeting,I atill doubt he would have been able to handle Manny's pressure and the Pacman has added a very decent right hook and more feints to his already blistering arsenal.

Manny will win,I say by stoppage in the 7th round. MAB does not have the fire to go to war nor the elusive style to avoid Manny for the entirety of the contest.

I love when people try to discredit MAB for his fights against Juarez. Juarez was one of the best young prospects in the business when he fought Marco...a young fighter with a tremendous punch. And please don't forget...in the first Juarez fight....Marco had been preparing to fight Chavez at 135. Chavez injured himself...and Marco had to get up to fight Juarez instead. He toughed that first Juarez fight out....showed he still can gut out a fight. In the second Juarez fight....Barrera put on a boxing clinic. Dancing. jabbing, and controlling the fight like a fighter many years younger. Juarez was completely surprised and couldn't adjust....so MAB won easy. People need to give Marco a WHOLE lot more credit for that fight. And then Marco fought Marquez in a great match. People need to give Barrera his major props...the man is ending his career taking no easy route. Pac on the other hand has fought a shot Morales and some nobodies in his recent fights. Again...Pac will deservedly be the favorite in this rematch....but Marco is going to give a battle....and anything short of a completely focused and prepared Pac (and he always seems to have a million distractions in his life)....could find himself in serious trouble.

The day before my birthday

I think this will be a very competative fight and i hope to hell that is another good fight for boxing.

Im going with manny pac by stoppage i think, i think hes just too much for Barrera at the late stage of his carrer. But you never no with Barrrea hes so strong and such a composed fighter and this might get him through! I think there is no way he will stop pacquiao so he will have to bank on a decision. But i think manny has the tools to beat him by stoppage and decision and i think manny is on a mission to prove hes the best at the weight devision.

lets hope its a cracker, but im sure it will be manny pac on a late stoppage.

[gopi]

This will be Barrera's retirement pay for all he did for boxing.
Stop daydreaming guys...

Marquez: "Pacquiao will beat Barrera again"

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakin...ticle_id=74641

[zhubin]

Wow! Everyone is counting Barrera out...including his own country men. This will just give him extra motivation. For all of Pac's tremendous athleticism...he ultimately knows how to fight only one way. People can sugar coat his technical flaws all they want...but if for whatever reason his plan A doesn't work against Marco....does he have a plan B to fall back on? We all know Marco can fight numerous different ways. Knowing this is his last fight he will be in tremendous shape and will have a game plan. Most people think Manny's pressure will be too much. But as Marquez proved in his fight with Pac...if you can withstand the initial surge...a technically superior fighter can out box Manny. For all the talk that Manny is the Mexican killer: he lost his first match with Morales and then defeated a shot Eric in their next two bouts. He had a draw against Marquez. And he of course had a big win over a distracted and unprepared Marco in their first fight. Not trying to discount Pac...he is an exciting, dynamic fighter who is a handful for anyone...but he is not unbeatable and still has enough flaws to be exposed by an intelligent and skilled fighter. Should be a great fight!
