Is it just me or will MAB Vs JMM....

I am rooting for Marco but a Juan Manuel victory will NOT in anyway disapoint me... i just hope it will be a definitive WIN for either one... 12 round Technical Fight? slambang barnburner? a mix of both?

FOTY if barrera doesnt run :lol1:

Thats the thing...I think Barerra knows he is nearing the end of his career and needs this win badly if he wants any shot at rematching Manny Pac. I dont think he will take those risks but your probably right , His mexican pride will take over as soon as he gets buzzed and hopefully make it a fight not a technical boxing match. You can say that he needs it badly for a rematch with Manny. But does Barrera want that? I think this could be a perfect opportunity to, I won't say pass the torch though go out calmy into the sunset. Barrera's career is coming to an end either way this year he's stated. If he beats Marquez, why go take a fight that he never really wanted and knows he might get beaten just as bad when it's his last year of fighting? I think if he wins this fight, he'll prolly call it a career saying he's faced everyone of the best fighters he could possibly face and that's it. Some fighters just have your number. Junior Jones and Manny got Barrera's. No need to retread over hazardous terrain. :boxing:

i think that this fight will disappoint all expectations! it will be a boring fight if barrera chooses to fire at long distance in order to avoid marquez's superb counter punching..

I don't see this fight disappointing anyone. Two of Mexico's finest boxers in any era, I can't see a letdown. I think this will be an instant classic with either a rematch happening or the victor moving on towards a mega clash with the Pacman. The latter being dependent on the legal issues surrounding Manny and the ability of GBP and TR to set aside their differences long enough to make some serious money. I have always been a huge fan of MAB, but sadly IMO, he no longer posses the skills necessary to outbox or even outslug JMM. He doesn't have enough firepower for a stoppage and he will get countered all night. I see MAB figting cautiously in the early rounds for a boring first few rounds, but a sense of urgency kicks as he loses these early rounds. As he goes for a KD, MAB will get hit by massive counter shots and will hit the canvas, eventually getting stopped in the later rounds. I see a good ol fashion Mexican ring war :) For what it's worth, I hope MAB proves me wrong and wins the fight.

I got points on Barrera.. PM me if you wanna bet!

i think marquez is going to win possibly even stopping barrera

I'm not sure how much Barrera has left, but it should still be a great fight. I prefer watching the higher weight classes, but some of these smaller guys put the bigger guys to shame at times. I thought the same after the first Rocky Juarez fight, after seeing the rematch though, he looked like his old self... I think he still got plenty left for JMM.

I think this fight is gonna be awesome because.... U ready for this?..... JMM is going to push the action and try to stop Barrera from running, I think JMM is going to be more effective than Rocky Juarez, though Barrera not wanting to engage will certainly be tough for JMM. If the fight goes the distance Barrera won a Dec. If it ends early JMM stopped Barrera. My prediction is Barrera will win a tough Decision and will fight going backwards the whole fight ala Barrera - Juarez 2.

Barrera is my favorite fighter....but, it sucks how horribly managed JMM was. The man could have been a Huge name and a superstar. I just kinda feel bad knowing how he never got to fight Hamed and it took this long to fight Barrera. Im torn between my favorite fighter (whos already going down as a HOF, a Mexican Legend, an ATG) and JMM, who probably could have been if he didnt have shitty management and pussys ducking him like Hamed (This would have been his huge breakthrough). JMM has phenomenal skills and I hope he pulls out a win so we can see an awsome trilogy.

This could be a war with the fact that Barrera has a lot of pride and JMM needs to get that signature victory to make him one of the best featherweights of this era. Jmm is underrated . Jmm is better than barrera(this will be proved on march17) and pacquiao(if there is a jmm - pac 2 jmm will expose pacquiao's lack of boxing talent)

Pay attention to what Barrera said at the end of the countdown: he said he was going to beat him for 12 rounds. It doesn't mean much when a fighter says he is going to knock someone out because they pretty much always say that but I think Barrera intends to bring out the boring gameplan he used on Juarez. Of course, JMM is a better pure boxer than Rocky. I won't buy the fight just because there is a good chance it will be boring although I acknowledge it could get exciting potentially. I am predicting Barrera by controversial decision If barrera wants to box with jmm he has no chance

your already wrong. lol MAB was only caution in his last fight. And that was because he NEEDED the win. Barrera is known for boxing and making a slow fight when he NEEDS the win. He's fighting for pride against Marquez. I think you could be right though. He could decide to box. It all depends on what Barrera wants to do. I think eventually, maybe down the stretch, he'll get caught and get hurt and he'll have to fight with JMM Thats the thing...I think Barerra knows he is nearing the end of his career and needs this win badly if he wants any shot at rematching Manny Pac.

IMO this will NOT be an exiting fight. MAB is too cautious these days and JMM is just a counterpuncher. Good technical fight but certainly not the war we expect.

Yeah this will be a great fight. I just saw the Marquez-Pacquiao fight and came away very impressed with JMM. I think this fight will start off slow and heat up in the middle rounds with Marquez using effective counter punching and winning the fight in a SD.

Who Wants To Bet ??? Im Picking Jmm Over Mab By Ko
