The only way this fight could be a suprise is if Barrera makes it to the final bell, that's why I don't think the judges will play a big roll in this fight (fwock 'em' all!)... but the referee will. Deep in my heart (as usual) mah bwoy Pac will score a KO. He NEVER won a decision in US. The judges will NEVER take his side. That's why he should always go for KO/TKO and we will see that tonight. I expect a desperate MAB to use all his tricks to frustrate pacman (take page on Agapito Sanchez's book) and walk away with a decision. The referee will be in a better position on how the fight will progress. Anybody NOT named Lawrence Cole, Jim Nady, Joe Cortez if fine. Cortez is used to be a good referee, but he started to lose his sharpness in the last 10 years.

Anyways, I try to picture the way this fight is going to go. I still come up with the same conclusion which is Barrera is going to get stopped & it will be a punishing loss to end a great career. Pacquiao overwhelms an outgunned Barrera once again.

Pac wins via 9th rd TKO!
