"The Real Barrera will show up November 27th"

11/09/04 - La Opinion Marco Antonio Barrera feels confidence and promises an incredible show when he shows up to fight his nemesis Erik Morales on the 27th of November in Las Vegas. In a teleconference from his training camp at Big Bear, California, Barrera promises that the real Barrera will show up for the fight on the 27th. "Im very confident that on that night i will give Morales such a fight that he wont expect, at 30 years of age its hard to change my style. What i can assure you is that this time i have put more effort into my training in these 8 weeks i have already completed," said Barrera. About his disadvantage at 130 pounds. "He will have the advantage but we are taking all the necessary steps to ensure that i will arrive strong at 130. I will fight because i am proud, and for the people who demanded a 3rd fight. The jump from 122 to 126 wasnt much but i never thought i would be fighting at 130 yet here i am." About their power "We are about even in punching power, but i have the advantage of mentality and expericne and thats why we have accepted this fight when i needed it the most (recent loss). Thats why I will show everyone the way it needs to be shown, by winning." About Morales' KO prediction, "Thats what he says, but this time he will face a Barrera that is confident, motivated, and more experience. Maybe he'll end up like Mayorga where the supposed Koer ends up being Koed."
