Barrios vs Guzman CONFIRMED!!!1!

whoah! this would be slammin! should made the barrera-juarez II the undercard :D

If I remember it right, Joan Guzman was a terror in the 122-lbs. weight class. He challenged the other alphabet soup champs Larios (WBC), Vazquez (IBF) and Monshipour (WBA) to unification fights. They all ignored him. Instead, he ended up fighting a Joe Morales guy at 130 when he can't make the Super Bantamweight weight in a supposed defense against challenger Marcos Licona. He looked crappy in this fight though he was able to KD the journeyman. Guzman would later move up to 126 and challenged WBO champ Scott Harrison, he too turned his back on Joan. He got to fight a game Terdsak Jandaeng, he won the fight but he wasn't impressive. On his 2nd fight at 130, he fought the veteran and former Lightweight champ Javier Jauregi. Joan showed a new fighting style, he boxed more and threw quick 4-5 punch combos, he didn't show any semblance of power, but it was pretty impressive boxing IMO. Barrios fought his entire career at 130 and he's naturally strong at this weight class. His only real loss was to Freitas whom he traded KDs with. The only way to beat him - must have power to stop him like Popo did; and/or have slick boxing style like a Mayweather Jr. or Raheem to simply outbox him; or an excellent & accurate counterpunching style like a JMMarquez cuz La Hiena is so open after those looping powershots. A fighter is only as good as his last fight. If Guzman fights Barrios like he did against Jauregi, Joan will be taken out in one of those torrid exchanges when he tries to pepper Jorge with his fancy 4-5 shot combos. If he boxes and avoids getting into a brawl, he'll have more chances of winning by decision.

o never mind i seen this dude fight, he fought recentlly on a undercard... tha de la hoya mayorga one right? it'll be a damn good fight if its that dude, BARRIOS late stoppapge

Whatever he wants to do with that thread doesnt matter to me, but dont Spam all of NSB to try and promote it. I kinda like threads to stay on topic. Its repsectful to the memeber who started the thread. to me its kinda like a regualr conversation you reply to the question and once the questioner is satisfied or frustrated with the feed back then you move on to another topic.

gay just fucken gay Whatever he wants to do with that thread doesnt matter to me, but dont Spam all of NSB to try and promote it.

this is nice...good for boxing.. GBP is for the real thing right now.Gbp is going to rule boxing because they are willing to match up there fighters tought. You know what I think the fighters really like that as well they get to earn their wins and become real champs in fans eyes because of level of comp. Look at GBP fighter match up. Vargas/Mosly1 and 2 Hopkins/tarver Guzman/Barrios Ouma/karmazin Ouma/powell He is protecting MAB like he will catch the bubonic plague however. Larios vs Pac. Ikiki abraham and many others. Oscar promotes like he fights tough match ups no bull shit just good fights. Oscar is the bright light for boxing wether he fights or not. I think he is one of the very few promoters that gives the fans what they want to see and he makes bank doing it eventhough his fighters sometimes loose.

this has "FIGHT OF THE YEAR" written all over it. i'm taking barrios to win by late round TKO. barrios gets stronger as the fight goes on, plus he's vicious. although guzman is real good i think that barrios is too much of a mad man in the ring for him to handle........ I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT FOR THIS FIGHT, I'M GETTING MY TICKETS ASAP FOR THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm very excited about this fight! It will be on the undercard of Barrera - Juarez II on September 16th. In all honesty, this will probably be the best fight that night. I really think this is a pick-em fight, too. It's hard for me to pick as both have great power in both hands and great chins. I tend to favor Guzman because he's a bit taller with about an inch more reach than Barrios and we know Barrios is capable of being KO'd since Freitas dropped him twice in the late rounds en route to his TKO victory over Barrios (a fight Barrios was winning until then). What do you guys think?All I have to say is nice very very nice going to be a great fight and their will be only be one man standing after round 8 I have no clue who excilent match up excepcially for guzman after the harrison fall out great great fight.

Should be entertaining, Ill slightly favor Barrios because of his size and stregnth advantage.

Barrios Ko

A pick 'em, indeed. Guzman has had, at most, only three fights on or around the Jr. Light weight while Barrios started and stayed within the range of Jr. Light to Light all throughout his career. Guzman though is taller and has a slight reach edge. In one of his very few fights at Jr. Light, Guzman did not look too good in defeating Joe Morales; although he dropped the San Antonio,TX, resident in the third, Morales went the distance. Morales took the fight on one day's notice as a replacement for Marcos Licona who withdrew after having been told at the weigh-in that Guzman's WBO title was not to be put on the line and that the fight was not to be at Featherweight. Guzman routed Terdsak Jandaeng ( who is slated to face JMM) in White Plains, NY, and even dropped the Thai in the fifth. But Jadaeng,too, got to hear the final bell. Barrios on the other hand took out Victor Santiago in the second, dropping the Puerto Rican thrice in that round. Santiago was stopped only once previously-- by Scott Harrison, in the 6th. Effectively, Barrios has lost only once--to Freitas. Barrios' only other smear on his record was a loss by DQ much earlier in his career. He was reportedly punching south too much. In the Freitas fight, Barrios earned a KD when he hit an off-balance Popo in the 8th. Then, within the 1st minute of the 11th, he dished a left-right combo for another KD. Freitas spat out his mouthpiece. The fight resumed, but as the bell sounded, Freitas returned the favor and dropped Barrios. With only 10 seconds into the 12th, Freitas dropped Barrios again for the second KD officially declared as such by the ref in favor of Popo. Barrios rose, but then again dropped to one knee a mere seconds later. This time it was not declared a KD, but when Barrios stood up again he was visibly wobbly, prompting referee Jorge Alonzo to end the contest at less than a minute into the final canto. Thus, while Guzman has a prestine slate, Barrios' record is as close as one can get to being smearless. This is one good match!

Im going to have to root for Guzman. I like the way he fights.

The only reason he was called "little Tyson" is because he looks like Tyson. (a smaller version). He's a powder puncher and will be eliminated by Barrios who is a proven fighter. He used to fight like Tyson: come forward and attack ruthlessly. The only fight were I've seen him be more of a boxer was the Jauregui fight. Most of his KOs where when he was in the featherweights...His power disappeared when he moved up. Did you see the Agapito Sanchez or Terdsak fights? Guzman is an animal, bro.

I think Guzman will make a statement in this fight. Barrios has alot of heart, and he is relentless. That being said, Guzman by KO, possibly early. I feel Barrios will come right at Guzman and that will be a big mistake. A mistake that won't be able to be corrected on that night. For I feel he will get hurt early, and possibly get stopped around 4 or 5.

That is a very good card already

if this guzman guy likes to come forward and be aggressive and if he has a chin, this outta be a great fight :)

The name baby Tyson is not fitting for Guzman. His power is not that good. He goes for speed and slick defense. He is a much different fighter than Tyson ever was. More skilled I would say, but lacking the power. Barrios is a badass and anyone who thinks this fight will be easy for Guzman is probably kidding themselves.

I had seen Guzman fight before, and i thought that he had excepional power. But against Jauregui i didnt see any of that, i saw a guy with quick hands and stamina. I dont recall him hurting Jauregui once before he hurt his hand. I think Barrios is too big and too strong, and guzman doesnt have the power to keep him away.I think Barrios has a good chance at stopping Guzman.
