ROCKY JUAREZ the power house!

yea i predicted him winning as well. but he didnt. it was close. He should have stepped up to the plate sooner. As for fighting pacman, i dont think so. not yet. Wait till the pac is at least 29-30 until u fight him. Pacman is quick and has KO power. Juarez must develop his offensive attack a bit better, and prepare himself for more of a war. He has a solid defense, and his guard was vitually unpenetratable the whole night, but hes gotta move his head more to avoid PACMANS super-combos. With time, juarez might have the skill and power to take down PACMAN, but not quite yet. like i've said before, juarez is ready to take out pacquiao, i bet pacquiao won't even mention rockys name for long while.

heres some newscoverage of the fight rocky v. barrera

i think that on this fight rocky stunned barrera on a few occasions and didnt press the action to go fo a ko, in the late rounds it appeared as if barrera was outta gas and rocky was more fresh and active witch tells you that barrera is a all time great but its gettin close to retire.

manny p, credit for your prediction of a draw though i know you were being sarcastic Soon as it got announced a draw I thought of Manny P myself :cool:

Barrera is on the way out after a couple of fights. In my opinion, he won the fight but it was close. But I think Rocky has nothing to worry about. He is still young and will have chances to fight for a title. I would like to see him and Soto in a rematch so he can avenge his loss cuz he really got whipped on that fight.

Reviewing the Rocky vs. Barrera Showdown I just finished viewing the "Rocky" vs. "Barrera" fight again in hopes of determining some other point of view. Therefore, I have since reformed my opinion which leaves me agreeing with most of the people that have posted threads and commented on others regarding the initial and final outcome. My initial comments were in favor of "ROCKY", and his aggression, which has not changed a whole heck of a lot. However, I have to agree with the comment that was based on viewers reaction when judges screw-up on the tabulation of fights that end-up being remarkably close fights. The remote-viewers are left to think the worst when judges screw-up on the cards. Especially when it is corrected after they are off the airwaves. Take the fact that Barrera is not the champ for a second. How do you score the fight? Tabulations can not be corrected by scoring two 10/10 rounds for the twelfth round. It should have been corrected well before the end of the fight. I believe that this is where the problem lies. Other than the fact that I stated, it was a hell of a fight and it should have been left as a draw. Just imagine if all the outcomes were this great and there were no phantom blows to argue about. You have to admit, Barrera is the champ, and therefore, my boy should have laid him out in a convincingly fashion if he was to take the title. They are both fighters with great attitudes and that is why you did not hear Barrera acknowledging that he thought he won the fight. The “CHAMP” does not want to fight “Rocky” again, and why should he? He has to go for the money while he has a chance, and “Rocky” on the other-hand has earned his stripes at the expense of a well fought match without a favorable outcome. However, “Rocky” said it best in his post interview when he said “I have no choice but to accept the outcome of the fight, but I think that I gained more fans because of the outcome, maybe even some California fans that otherwise would never had know who I am” What a sport! PEACE!!!!!!!!! Don’t get me wrong sparring partners, I am in favor of "The Pride of Northside Rocky Juarez".

but he was back pedalling with a jab though. so that might have influenced the judges who knows. but no doubt rocky can punch. all he needs to learn now is how to throw volume punches. there were occassions where rocky were throwing one punch at a time. it seems that after staggering barrera in round 3, rocky tried to look for one big punch. and i forgot to add that i felt rocky was blocking a lot of barreras jabs.

honestly i thought he resolved this, but he just needs to work on this more, but this is how rocky fights, but i also expected barrera to make rocky fight more but barrera was the one back pedalling, but it was a close fight, no doubt, a rematch needs to take place. but he was back pedalling with a jab though. so that might have influenced the judges who knows. but no doubt rocky can punch. all he needs to learn now is how to throw volume punches. there were occassions where rocky were throwing one punch at a time. it seems that after staggering barrera in round 3, rocky tried to look for one big punch.

i didnt think rocky win the fight. he landed the harder blow but not enough. why was he so gun shy anyway especially when he stunned marco a few times? honestly i thought he resolved this, but he just needs to work on this more, but this is how rocky fights, but i also expected barrera to make rocky fight more but barrera was the one back pedalling, but it was a close fight, no doubt, a rematch needs to take place.

Juarez did NOT win the fight, your bias is clouding your judgement, it was damn close though. i just finished seeing barrera fight rockys fight, and going backwards almost all night long, barrera knows he needs to fight rocky again and his fans will let him know he needs to fight rocky again.

lots of people here thought i was foolish for picking juarez few of use knew that rocky had it in him to defeat barrera, and i felt he did beat barrera. and even more thought i was crazy for asking for JUAREZ V. PACQUIAO, but know as you can see rocky is in the elite and is only going to get better! run, run, cause rocky is coming for you! Juarez did NOT win the fight, your bias is clouding your judgement, it was damn close though.

Get over it HE LOST!! Error in the scorecards....LOL!!! LMAO! a little anger is what ricardo rocky juarez may need! run, run, cause rocky is coming for you!

rocky laid out the good cards tonight, and IMO he did put up a great performance to gain respect. barrera was just smart in being aggresive to win the rounds. rocky conserved his energy to go the distance, he had the right thing in mind but that wasnt enough. oh fuck they changed the scorecards, damn give juarez back the draw :mad:

why are you not extremly pissed at the overrule? not really, for me its a satisfaction, you know barrera felt he won against morales, and barrera got his respect back, well i feel rocky finally got the respect he deserved. i just hope and im sure rocky will take a hard look at this fight, all he had to do was press a little more, honestly i think it was in the middle rounds barrera was looking for a reason for the fight to be stopped, its just that rocky is one of the most patient fighters in boxing, if the the most patient boxer in boxing, all he does is step it up work on a few things that i know they are going to work on and rocky will get his payback, i just see this as a win. when LARRRY MERCHANT allows you to finish your sentences when you are talking you know, merchant felt you won.

hahaha, that's the greatest news i have ever heard. It's correct though because Barrera did win the fight. ferocity, you gotta chill man, you getting real close to been a Juarez nut hugger!!! seem then if i stand by my opinion, im a nuthugger :rolleyes: lets just see if barrera will give rocky a rematch, how in hell, he can tell the mexican people that he ain't giving rocky a rematch is beyond me. after all rocky is the one who pressed the action.

i though rocky just barely won the fight, it was razor close no doubt, but barrera was backing up much of the fight and rocky keep pressing forward with his punchs and rocky blocked a lot of barreras punchs. why are you not extremly pissed at the overrule?

I think Draw was the right score. I thought Barrera will win by UD, which he was doing easily in first half of the fight, but it was stupid for Barrera to try brawl with Rocky, that caused Barrera the last 5 rounds in my eyes. i though rocky just barely won the fight, it was razor close no doubt, but barrera was backing up much of the fight and rocky keep pressing forward with his punchs and rocky blocked a lot of barreras punchs.
