Any comments?
Quite overreacting man. Juarez fought a surprisingly good fight. He hurt Barrera and made it a very close match. I had it a draw. Maybe a point win for Juarez, but probably not. He didn't do quite enuff to beat a legend and take his titles. It was a close decision win for an aging Barrera, and a scoring mistake. Not a tragedy. No one died or was seriously hurt thank God. That would have been a tragedy. A slight decision win for Barrera is not a tragedy.
