CHECK OUT WHAT I FOUND.......


Looks like Pacquiao's own contract signing mess was finally settle between Arum and Oscar.

Damn Pacquiao .... always signing contracts. I kid Manny!!!

[Sugar_Shaw]

WOW !!! this is huge

[OumaFan]

pretty surprised by this.

I'd like Barrera to win but I don't see any reason to think he'll win.

[Taeth]

I don't see Barrera lasting very long. In his prime he could have given Pacquaio a run for his money judging on the first fight between Pacquaio and Morrales, but now I think Pacquaio ko's him every time.

NO FWOCKEN WAY!!!!
I think I just shit my pants.... So where are all those anti-GBP people who kept talking shit! that GBP is the worst and that they don't care about the sport and blah! blah! blah!!

This is great so this means we could see JMM vs. PAC II early 2008 if they both win their next bouts....

Just don't like the style matchup, prepared or not prepared I don't think Barrera is the guy to beat Pacquiao and Barrera has been my favorite fighter at the lower weights for years now. Gets hit far to much, and I think the explosiveness of Pacquiao pretty much neutralizes any counter punching advantage Barrera might have.

Still, Barrera has pulled the rabbit out of the hat many times before so I'm still going to be cautiously optimistic about this from the Barrera standpoint.

I will politely disagree, Amat!

Barrera isnt stupid. He doesnt want to get beaten up as a final fare well! He believes he can win. I believe so too...Pac has fooled many by the early stoppage of Morales..

That was not the Moralesthat most know...

[gally]

wow this is gna be massive hope mabs got 1 last big performance in him, Pac never dissapoints cant wait.

I can only hope the fight happens. Barrera will need to deliver something special. He can too.

Exactly. Marco is one of the smartest fighters in the business. If he felt he was going to embarrass himself or didn't feel like he had anything left...he would not take this fight. Sure...he has pride....but he doesn't go overboard with it like Morales. All of this isn't to say i don't take Pac can win....but a focused and prepared Marco will give him a hell of a fight. This also makes the most sense for Manny on a $$$ and promotional standpoint...Barrera is the biggest name he could have fought...with Marquez (who already had signed to fight Barrios) coming second. A lot of people will be doubting Marco in this one....but he is one of those fighters i never discount. ALSO....i think talks of him being on the "slide" are greatly exaggerated. Sure...he is no young buck...but he still looked razor sharp in the Marquez fight...and even when he was badly hurt...he was able to land knockdown punch on Marquez. I for one...am excited about this fight.

Glad to see you around.
Barrera always performs better in the rematch.
Well not always, but he's the most intelligent boxer today.
Well not the most, but up there but he Beat Marquez.
Well not really beat him as the record shows.

Barrera's not stupid, to sum this stuff up. Only Barrera's mileage will make it Pac's fight.
Glad MAB got this fight. I bet you he's been training for this fight since the last fight.
I know he's always had Pac on his mind.
I heard he was a little sad he couldn't get this fight to be one of his last.
Now he got his wish. "Be carefull what you...."

I'll get the lighter fluid

haha

Now let's just hope this opens the door to other Top Rank and Golden Boy fighters go at it. Like Mosely against Cotto/Margarito

[gsi]

What happened to him fighting Soto in Vancouver? I almost fell out of my chair yesterday at work when I read he'd be fighting someplace I could actually drive to and watch live without breaking the bank.
