Did Barrera cheat against Hamed?

[JazMerkin]

What a load of bollocks, no doubt MAB can be a dirty fighter, but so are so many of the greats, but IMO there is NO way he would use handwraps or shit like that, he's a smart guy he knows the implications & just wouldn't do it. Roach is just stokin things up for the Khan fight.

Every thread......

That is my first time that i heard something like that about Barreras , that fight was one of my favorite fight , Barreras gave Hamed a really damn beat in that night , after that i never seen Hamed fighting again , about the question i don't think so .......Barreras is a great Warrior , but this a situation that now will put to all Trainers and Inspectors to check everything to their opponents ........................Barreras is a respectable boxer........

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

The only YouTube video I've seen that is about MAB cheating is this one.

Can you post the other one?

Nas wont be going to the fight Saturday because his dad Sal has just died. Pretty sad news as Sal was a familiar face around Nas fights

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!!

Hey Miles, that's not all. In an interview, Barrera said that while he had Hamed against the turnbuckle he got close to him and whispered "Who's your daddy?!" hahaha! I quickly watched the fight again and you can clearly see it! Go watch it and you'll see what I am talking about. Double humiliation right there! Hamed did it with all the guys he faced and on that night he got a taste of his own medicine.

The Who's your Daddy comment added a little sugar to that bravado me thinks

Of course nothing was as sugary as Calzaghe giving Hopkins a reverse lapdance

just kidding.

But that youtube video looks like a fake. Sound effect or something

That didnt seem intentional. it was brought up what if there was a case of barerra cheating before and etc, and he brought up a situation that had to do with the first Pacquiao fight. If its related to the context of the topic then why does Pacquiao being mentioned matter?

Its not like we are saying "NEVER MENTION PACQUIAO'S NAME IN ANOTHER THREAD"

It was relevant to the "does barrera cheat" discussion, so you shouldnt bash him for that, unless he just made it up.

Pare, I will change "Pacquiao"'s name with something like "Roach star boxer" next time... Tho I explicitly mentioned above that that was the closest info I've read about the topic "Barrera cheating"...

Here's that actual article:

link --> Roach on Barrera's loaded wraps

"Roach said that he’d come across “loaded” hand wraps when his man (Roach star boxer) fought Marco Antonio Barrera the first time in 2003, in Texas. Roach said he saw Barrera’s hands wrapped with material used to form a cast, which looks like regulation gauze, but becomes rock-hard when wetted. Roach was able to get the Barrera people to junk the material he says was suspect."

Thanks for clarifying it to other members Bro Majesty that it's not really intentional... I also clarified it further in my previous post on this thread...

Barrera caught by Roach during his first fight with "Roach star boxer" in 2003 and Barrera fought Hamed in 2001... There's a possibility that Barrera might have used loaded wraps in his previous fights...

I don't have much respect for Barrera since he's a dirty fighter... He hit "Roach star boxer" during break (by ref) of fight in 2 separate incidents... He hit JMM while JMM was downed... He hit his opponents with low blows and intentional head butts...
