weigh in for potentially one of the best cards of the year:
http://www.hbo.com/boxing/img/downloads/432x559/posterart_barrera_juarez_2.jpg
Jorge Paez, Jr. 141** vs. Derrick Campos 139
** Paez was one pound over.
For the WBO Jr. Lightweight title:Jorge Barrios 131 ½** vs. Joan Guzman 129
** After second attempt (first was at 132), Barrios was 1 ½ pounds over the limit; he will automatically lose his belt, win or lose tomorrow night.

Guzman
Personally, if there is something i have remebered in due time, looking at pictures of fighters at weigh ins is highly deceiving and very deceptive of the nature of the how the fight will play out, its better to watch the body language of how they enter the ring and face each other and the expressions on their face during the corner timeouts.
Barrera looks ready to go.
Barrios is all class in those glasses. How can anyone not love to watch that guy?
Vasquez looks primed too.
This is going to be one of the better cards of the year.
if paul williams or vivian harris get on the undercard of BALDOMIR vs MAYWEATHER, then i think that would be a better card. at least for my tastes.
and maybe they could get dimitry salita or jaidon codrington on there as well :D
nice to see these greats in a single picture

4 HOF'ers right there.
barrera looks more than ready for this fight, i think its gonna be a UD for barrera but i wouldnt be surprised if barrera gets a late KO or drop juarez a few times on route to UD
barrera looks way better than he did last time round! HE DOES NOT LOOK THE SAME! Its seems obvious now that the whole Jesus Chavez thing and coming down from the higher weight took its toll! Im on Barrera by clear UD or even knockout!
Barrera looked just as good as he did in the first fight with Juarez. He just doesn't have the stamina anymore and since Juarez fights to soft (he needs to get rid of his dad as a trainer)...I bet the fight will be the same as last time..a close good bout..
he might not have the stamina of old, and with good reason he is heavier now, but he'll definitely have more stamina than the first fight. He trained at 12,000 feet altitude instead of 6,000 feet. His cells are wide open to absorb the o2.
Juarez looks like a child next to Hopkins..

Wow Barrera really looks ripped.. he looks like a diff fighter this time around. Lets see if that translates inside the ring, however I am rooting for Juarez.

lol. if rocky was just an ordinary guy on the street, and u saw him like that, ud be like "wow! that guy is ripped!"
lol.
but i agree. barrera looks like his is more ready for this fight! hopefully my prediction will fall through
Damn these fools are ripped. Barrera not as much, and Rocky less, theirs going to be some knock outs in this ppv. :boxing:
rocky looks soft and unprepared to go the full length of the fight. i hope looks are deceiving, i'd like to see juarez win this fight. nothing against barrera but juarez has his career ahead of him where as barerra is wraping his up.
whoah rocky looks out of shape
