Marco A. Barrera is fighting today

[GAME]

Why did Barrera win? Should have been a no contest.

It was a blatant headbutt so Rojas was disqualified

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.

joey uk - Khan does run like Rojas you are right but this guy was in survival mode from the opening seconds. Khan can do the same but he wont win any rounds. If he wants to win he has to fight. You also have to remember Barrera only has to hit as hard as Limond and Gomez and Khan is on the deck. Plus who has Khan ever faced who has Barreras speed.

That was accidental headbutt.

That was accidental headbutt.

I don't think so, he went straight in head down. As if to ensure if he got cut it would in no way be a problem as it would be the top of his noggin.

MAB and his steel plate in his head should retire.....He was a great fighter!

MAB should retire I agree with that, I just want to see him bash Khan first. Fingers crossed

[Hunter]

Yeah - I want him to bash Khan as well....

ok. I can't view the youtube fight so I can't comment on how he is looking (and I've been watching for a long time so I figure I could tell how much slippage there is) I can't comment on whether I think he looked slow, was taking a look at his opponent, going through the motions. He's been in ugly fights before that have gone the distance but again I'm unable to view youtube.

I figure the fight went ahead because a. he was contracted to fight and b. he wanted to get some rounds under his belt.

If the Khan fight is in danger because of the cut it should be postponed and not some last minute nobody put in his place. The fight imo has been sold on the name of Barrera and not Khan vs Tom' Mato-Can
