Marco A. Barrera is fighting today

[Spicoli]

I dont know the exact protocal in a last minute situation,and this might be easier said than done but it should have been scratched altogether.Barrera tells them,forget it.

He has absolutely ZERO to gain going through against a 1-8 (??) unknown and everything to loss...and he did.Holding up an obligation to local promotion is nice but at this point in his career,he needs to think about himself and immediate future.....looking for one last hurrah.

Surely he faced very little 'boxing' risk from this guy but if he was last minute with a record like that, his sloppy skills and lack of technique ? had to be much more of a threat,if that makes sence?? Watched it just now....that looked intentional as hell.

Barrera looks a tad slower and his power didnt really bother his opponent who has been stopped before.

It also looked like to me he didnt' do a particularly good job of closing the distance.. the other guy ran alot and barrera pretty much let him side step him and back off again when he did close the distance... this is exactly how Khan fights, only he throws a lighting fast 4-5 punch combination then backs off before people can fight back.. and rinse and repeats.

Although I have to say Barrera looked a lot sharper than I expected him to be.. I'm looking forward to this fight alot. But I'm sticking to my original prediction, Khan by UD.
