Did Barrera cheat against Hamed?

[Taeth]

There is a thing on youtube about it, apparently he failed the drug test, and allegedly had illegal handwraps on that night.

I've never heard any of this before. The only cheating I saw was the ramming the head into the turnbuckle business. But I enjoyed seeing that.

First i ever heard of it. Surely it'd be a big story if there was any solid evidence behind it right?

Did u read the whole article? It seems absolute shit to me. That guy posts videos and says that Hamed tamed Barrera like a bitch. Not exactly a reliable source.

[Taeth]

That's why I am asking.

Yes im sure he did cheat , the WBO must have evidence , i mean you always wait 8 years after the event to press an issue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTF and who cares .

Is it cheating to school and tame Hamed?

I've just rewatched that fight on You tube. Brilliant display from Barrera, and the turnbuckle incident never gets boring. I love the way Barrera refuses to touch gloves after getting the point taken off!!

Barerra beats Hamed 99 times out of 100 and needs no cheating

Source?

I heard it before. Sounds like crap and what is even more crap is that Freddie Roach has been mentioning it after the Margarito incident. Personally I think he's trying to get in their heads pre-Khan. He's also been saying he's a dirty fighter....then don't foul him

Barrera repeatedly punched Hamed in the head which just isnt cricket.

Missy dont start with that. Marco is a dirty little effer, he doesnt need any encouragement

worse, he tried to stop Hamed from punching him! That just isn't right.

Bang out of order wasn't it. Robin Reid tried that against Sven Ottke too, but luckily the ref was wise to it and told Reid no more punching in the face

So Barrera attempted to hit and not get hit back? Was a complaint logged with the commision over this?

[XaduBoxer]

Freddie Roach said that Barrera tried to use illegal wraps in the Pacquiao first fight... That's the closest thing I've read regarding this topic...
