Marco A. Barrera is fighting today

[:::PSL:::]

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

I dont think Marco could have stopped this guy. This tomato can was too elusive, too defensive for his own good(career), and did not seem to be in danger of getting KOed with one single punch. I thought this nobody would have survived till the final bell.

If this fight have gone the distance, imagine the negative repercussions it will bring.... I will leave it at that.

You didnt miss much. Barrera treated it like a sparring session. Went through the motion s much like he did in China. He wasnt trying his hardest but who does in warm ups? Hopkins looked poor in his fight b4 Oscar . He knew a payday was coming and just let his skills do the talking . Same thing here with Barrera

Im abit concerned that if this cut keeps him out of sparring then his timing may be off on fight night . Having said that last time he turned up undeprepared was November 2003 and I dont think he will make teh same mistake.

Marco has played his part as the boxer in fights with Pedan and Juarez but in this fight he will be the guy chasing and Khan will be running. Hope he doesnt enter the ring with scar tissue. The cut was between the eyes above the nose not above 1 eye so it shouldnt be that bad
