IF Barrera Wins....

[dcR-Reckless]

If he wins, I'll definitely want to see a rematch with JMM.

I will rank MAB in the top 25 of Lightweights.
Beating Amir would not catapult him high IMO.

I agree, it's no huge win for Barrera, he has fought and beat some great fighters and Khan is nowhere near any of those guys. I don't think he ever can be a great fighter, but he can be a fucking exiting one.

What do you mean "if" Barrera wins.

It should say when.

MAB is one of my all time favorites, and I think he will win. Everyone keeps mentioning Kahn's chin, but I think MAB will take him out with body shots. I think he's going to work the body alot to slow Kahn down, because Kahn is faster than MAB at this point in his career, and MAB has to take away Kahn's one big advantage.

BTW, Steve Kim wrote a good article on him today.

The Barrera We Knew and Loved

Please dont put him anywhere near juan manuel marquez


he managed to actually take 3-4 rounds when they fought last time out and JMM did not impress. But at 135 i would really fear that barrera could take a junior jones style battering that would all but finish him off as a fighter.

The whole talk of the winner tonight fighting marquez is ridiculous as JMM would absoloutely batter both !!

Based on their last fight where Barrera statictically outlanded outhrew and dropped Marquez. Winning in the eyes of the real experts ? hmmm . . .

I've always maintained that Barrera was given a rough deal against Marquez. The judges were way off and of course that 7th was a mess because of Nady and his ineptitude.

It's amazing that Barrera even kept his cool after what happened and got through the fight as effectively as he did. Had the KD been scored then it might all have turned out very different.
