Barrera vs. Princess Hamed

[Taffturner]

Aparantly naz never did any running to train?!? Think he did leg weights and masses of body (not head) sparring

Those thick tree trunk legs and great flexibility around the waist had him coming at you from some wild angles and with full lift. Fun to watch.

Barrera seemed to genuinely hate Hamed, I loved the little touch by Barrera toward the end of the 12th round when he escorts Princess to a corner and jams her head into the turnbuckle. It was pretty obvious that Hamed wasn't prepared for what MAB brought to the dance.

Highlights:

thanks for the vid , hahah i had forgotten how much I hated Hamed and how good that fight was.

Hameds style may have worked better vs Marquez or Morales but we'll never know. Erik was more open to punches than Marco and Marquez back when he was losing to guys like Norwood couldnt take a shot as well as Marco and may have to get off the floor afew times like he did against Pac if Nas landed clean.

We never got to see those fights because the loss took alot from Nas. Once that Aura left him and he realised his god would allow him to lose then he didnt want to risk it again with anyone better than Manuel Calvo but as we saw in his farewell fight the fans wouldnt stand for that and booed him into retirement. Sad way for a great story to end.

It was the right plan executed to a T.

Morales would have come to scrap. Not sure about Marquez.

Well done to MAB for the great win but that was not the Prince on form!

I have to disagree with you.

I think Marquez, Morales, and Barrera would have beaten Hamed anytime.

As for Marquez losing to Norwood, sure the judges gave him(FN) that fight, but I didn't think for one second that Marquez lost that fight.

Marquez couldn't take a shot? Yeah we all know that he has hit the canvas a few times, but he always gets up.

How many times has JMM been KO'd? Zero!

I wouldn't even compare hamed to Manny pacquiao. Pac is on a whole different level.

I totally agree with this, Barrera was a big step up for Hamed, and Marquez, Morales, would have been too. Just like Barrera, they were both skilled, consummate Pros, who knew how to fight, and they would have solved Hamed's unorthodox style.

Agreed. Morales would have gone to war and that would have either spelled bad news for Hamed or it would have played right into his hands. Zahir Raheem was a southpaw without Hameds power but fundamentally he may have been better than the prince even though he had nowhere near the same success. I think Raheem got Morales at the right time. He was coming off the Pac win but still in decline IMO.

Highlights:

In an interview on a Mexican TV show MAB says that he told Naz "Who's your daddy?" when that happened on round 12. You can see that in slow mo right after MAB pushes Naz head, he gets close to his left ear and that's when he asks him that.

[Master]

By that time Naz was finished, the documentary showed he hardly trained, Manny Stewart was appalled at his conditioning and Naz had his head too far up his own ass to know that he had lost it.

Yeah I have a boxing magazine that Barrera gave an interview to, he told the reporter that he asked hamed, whose your daddy?

But I didn't know it was during the 12th round.

That's funny as hell, "firm but fair" Joe Cortez was the ref in this fight, Barrera was lucky he didn't get DQ'd for that last little move, fucking funny as hell though, the final humiliation for the Princess.

I remember that! What was the name of that documentary? I remember Naz obsessing over his hair cut and lamb skin Boxing gloves more than anything else

Yes that was the programme, he flew in his barber to cut his hair which looked much the same. He was teasing Eubanks but coming across a tit in the process. Eubanks should have beaten him up as he was going to do at an airport.

Naz did want goat skin boxing gloves and wanted the pair that Barrera chose. He also took ages to come out of the dressing room at fight night. It was amazing that he was not knocked out in that fight remember Marco landed a left hook around the 5th and Naz legs went.

The humiliation of Hamed made me a Barrera fan FOR LIFE! I could watch that fight 100 times and would enjoy it just as much every time. All those flying carpet, disco-dancing, prancing, half-hour annoying ring entrances.... only to get his head bashed into the ring post. Classic.
