Barrera vs. Barrios SIGNED & CONFIRMED!!!

The fight between barrios and barrera has not been signed and you got to remember that the article was back in october 2005. Maybe barrera said no to barrios and instead wants chavez.

well barrera is still signed to fight chavez according to boxrec, no mention of an opponent yet for barrios although hes got a date pencilled in on the same day as barrera-chavez. could happen as i heard barrera wasnt likely to go ahead with his fight with chavez. if he keeps avoiding pac by fighting other lesser fighters hes gonna get called a pussy worldwide, and it would be deserved

oh good. nice lesbo action here. pussy with pussy. does playboy have PPV too?

Chavez even better. Chavez would have beaten Morales had he not tore his shoulder up and I thought that was obvious. One handed he gave Morales hell. Chavez is big and active and skilled. This will be a good fight. Are you serious? Morales won every round except the first, but he cancelled that out with the 2 knockdowns I'd say, lol

Yeah the Chavez fight will be a little better. Chavez is a SERIOUS serious threat to beat Marco. He's going to be very active and he's naturally stronger than Marco...it should be a hell of a scrap.

Barrera is NOT fighting Barrios, he's fighting Chavez: http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2206434 ESPN.com news services Oscar De La Hoya, Shane Mosley and Jesus Chavez have tentative agreements for a series of fights next year, The Los Angeles Times reported Friday. De La Hoya will face Ricardo Mayorga, who currently owns a junior middleweight crown, on May 6. No site was reported. It would be De La Hoya's first bout since a September 2004 loss to Bernard Hopkins. De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions has signed the pacts for the fights, but it is unclear whether De La Hoya will promote his own fight, The Times reports. As ESPN.com's Dan Rafael first reported, Mosley will fight Fernando Vargas in a 12-round junior middleweight bout on HBO PPV. The Times reports the duel is set for Feb. 25. Chavez is set to fight Marco Antonio Barrera, who currently owns two junior lightweight belts, on March 25. In Las Vegas last month, Chavez and Leavander Johnson fought. Johnson, 35, suffered a serious brain injury during an 11th-round TKO loss to Chavez and died five days later. But Chavez's tentative return to the ring comes with encouragement from the Johnson family, The Times reports.

I'm proud of Barrera for taking this fight. Wow, today I've said two things I never imagined saying.

Chavez vs Bobby Pacquiao shoulda been made. Both whomped Hernandez.

hmm Chavez even better. Chavez would have beaten Morales had he not tore his shoulder up and I thought that was obvious. One handed he gave Morales hell. Chavez is big and active and skilled. This will be a good fight.

its' not signed yet you marooooons! Barrios wins tis one.

I'm sorry to burst your bubbles guys, But this fight is not signed and wont be in the short term. Thats exactly what the article says. There was talks of Barrera facing Barrios, however they opted to fight Jesus Chavez Instead and thats the fight they are trying to sign right now. So Barrios is once again without a shot. The article says maaaaybe after the chavez fight. However i think its unlikely.

I agree that Barrera needs to fight Pac man. He has that defeat hanging over him and his career will always be incomplete if the rematch deosn't happen. Let me put it this way...I will hold a higher opinion of MAB if he fights PAC a second time and loses then if he never fights him again. I have heard some experts talk about my boy JL Castillo and they have said Castillo needs to go to the 140 pound divison and beat a couple belt holders and that would secure his place right behind Morales and Barerra...if Barerra doesnt fight PAC-Castillo in my mind will be twice the fighter-Castillo's resume is riduclous and he should start getting some more respect. Castillo is underated amongst his own people and Im shocked...I have never seen anything like him! Here I go off on my Castillo tangents, sorry.

I bet he fights Jesus Chavez...him and Morales are just going to follow each other around the rest of their career. MAB would fight Erik 10 ten times in a row if it meant he didnt have to fight JMM or Pac...and not all of it has to do with money. It sounds really wierd but I want no part of a 4th fight with the two...I want to see other matchups and I really believe unless pushed MAB will stick with the status quo... Hope Im wrong. I agree that Barrera needs to fight Pac man. He has that defeat hanging over him and his career will always be incomplete if the rematch deosn't happen.

Barrera better bring his A game. Barrios is tough sob and lets keep in mind Barrera is in a stronger weight class. Which means he isnt stronger than anyone here, he has be better than them to win. An upset would not surprise me here. If Barrera can ko Barrios he will have gained the respect he lost with me in the Pacquiao fight.

barrera/barrios. havent seen anything else on this. why would marco want to take a dangerous fight for small money. it would be an exciting fight.

Good to see Barrera stepping up the competition. Should be a good fight, I HOPE it's not going to be a PPV. Fucking better not be.

hmm This is a highly acceptable fight if it goes off. Barrios has good wins and performances lately and is obviously one of the better guys at 130. I sure hope this isn't yet another MAB farce PPV or that will seal the deal and I'll have to root against MAB every time he fights (oh wait, I already do that).

barrera/barrios. havent seen anything else on this. why would marco want to take a dangerous fight for small money. it would be an exciting fight. Well, at least you can't say barrera looks for easy options. It seems he`s trying to clean up the super featherweight division!

Come on you know what I meant. Everyone knows that Barrera's camp was cut short because of the forest fire at Big Bear. Barrera has been in brawls with McKinney and Morales and he never quit. Are you going to tell me that fighters never have an off night or might not be 100% for a fight? If Barrera had quit a few times previous to the Pacquiao fight then I would agree with you but since it is not a pattern that we have seen with him then I must give him the benefit of the doubt that something just wasn't right with him on that night. I wasnt overly impressed with his effort in the first Junior Jones fight and I dont care about a forest fire at big bear...he tasted Pac early and he didnt like the taste and was looking for a way out after the thrid round. Sure he has been a warrior in the past(fight with KK is on eof my favs) and I shouldnt be too hard on him but...if he didnt train properly for Pac and he wasnt right etc, shouldnt we have already seen the rematch? MAB can handle the Morales fire and apparently that is a fight he wants to do over and over again, the Pac fire? Well it doesnt look like he wants to ever see that one again? Which makes me question him a bit...Barrios should jump on MAB early and see how he reacts...thats all Im saying.

Exactly he quit in the fight with pac...why didnt he look right? Someone jumped on him and punched him in the face a ton and after the third round Barerra had given up and was purely taking a beating. Maybe, just maybe if Barrios can overwhelm MAB he will do the same thing. Who looks right when they get their ass kicked? Come on you know what I meant.
