is MAB fighting tomorrow night????

[No Contest]

Yeah Barrera looked sluggish and slow, he took 20 seconds to drop the guy, should have been 10.... I cant believe he let him get to the second round, what a shot fighter. We also all know that abs are the key to boxing, too bad Arias abs didnt help him much. Shit Juan Diaz makes Barrera look like Mr Universe.

look at Barrera's foot movement, and seriously are you trying to make Arias out to be a world beater? hahaha

Absolute proof you have no clue! and just are talking out of your Arse. MAB had command of the ring, with his timing and range down in that first 20 seconds. There was nothing wrong with Barrera's footwork. He absolutely schooled Arias who had a much longer reach. He reminded me of Roberto Duran, how he just stepped forward a little bit to throw Arias range off. Duran would do that and he'd hit fighters with his shoulder.

HAHAHAHA Barrera looked nothing like Duran, was pushed into the ropes by a guy who isn't even fit to tie Barrera's shoe's, again you say that he schooled Arias as if that's an accomplishment, he was able to school a guy who had no experience, his jab was completely off, it was more a case of his opponent making more mistakes and him being able to capitalize on it than Barrera being sharp and still a world level fighter, you're the one speaking out his ass if you honestly think Barrera is still the Marco of old

I happen to agree with a lot that Elterriblemorales said.
As a massive fan of MAB I felt that his movements lacked the fluidity of old and he looked a long way from his best. But the fact is his best was still a calibre above most fighters and his ring saavy and experience will see him past most.
However, I do not believe he will make it to world level at 140, which is a hot division.


But the main reason for my reply is to Elterriblemorales- the guys were trying to debate with you and you took it way out of context. You also disrespected a very game fighter. for shame man

i said it in the other thread, MAB and Morales are both future HOFers no doubt, both are greats, and i agree fully, but it makes me sick that people keep approving of both guys fighting as if they are still elite fighters when it's going to lead to either guy getting seriously hurt, and that's something i don't want to end up seeing

and it seems that fat Dan from ESPN agrees with me

"Fighting for the first time in eight months, and headlining a "Top Rank Live" card in a fight announced barely a week before it took place, Barrera blew past Arias for his second consecutive victory. Barrera is slower now and looks out of place as a junior welterweight, but he can beat guys like Arias, 43, a native of the Dominican Republic from Providence, R.I., all day long"

It was a short notice tune up fight and Barrera did what you are supposed to do. He came out and stopped his man. He also looked very good in doing so. I find it outrageous that anyone can look at someone like Barrera and compare him to someone like Holyfield which I have read on forums. The man is so ring smart and can still bring an element of class to his performances.

Barrera could very well win another title this year. The same could never be said of Holyfield who is a disgrace.

I am delighted to see him back and even more impressed to see him going for the kill. Okay, it wasn't against a top opponent, but we haven't seen Barrera opening up like that in a long time.

Barrera!!!!!
