Barrios pulls out of JMM fight !!!!

Soto.. Valero.. Guzman.. Juarez.. All pretty good fights.

They need a good replacement.I hope GBP can pull it off in a month!

Why did Jorge drop the fight (if this is true)? Medical reasons. or maybe he can't make the weight

Joy Barrios cant just leave he signed a contract anyway it a business before sport once you sign the contract if you wanna quit you have to pay more money and fine, and i dont think Jorge is going to do that

cancel the MAB fight and make the JMM fight happen :D

That shit pisses me off, I was looking forward to this fight. More so then the Raf vs Vasquez fight, thought Israel was always just a little too big and strong for Raph.. But a JMM fight with Barrios....this fight would have/COULD HAVE showed exactly what JMM was made off. Barrios is a tough fighter, a pussy ass back stepper....but a tough fighter. Flat out...its a shame it's not gonna happen. I want Joan Guzman to fight JMM Gold Boy promotions better do something cause thats the fight I want to see.

I agree...Get Chris John's incognito ass in the ring. If not him, get someone who has a decent name in the ring. most decent names are smart enought not to take a fight with JMM this quick only a hardcore underdog from who eas never televised i nthe us will take. I bet a unknowen fighter will take it and he has a fuck hardcore mentaility and power to go with

lure Chris John you must have money and these big fight needs time to train. and JMM got the upperhand right now if Chris John accepted or any other fight accepted

Can they lure Chris John to fight outside Indonesia? That'd be a nice rematch! Barrios would've been a more entertaining fight tho.

Chris John is a good replacement... hope they can get him so JMM can avenge that crazy decision he got in Indonesia...

the best thing to come out of this is, if it is officially off, is for JMM to fight on regular HBO against someone else. I doubt it, if Golden Boy put him against Barrios on PPV, anyone can go against him on PPV. Well i think the main reason its PPV, is because they have a few guys in there stable that they want to show off. Like i think Bajado is on the card. And he could be big for them, hes still very young. Theres Rocky Juarez who i think they are starting to lose faith in and this is an effort to get him back into the mix. Guerrero aint half bad

In order for Valero to win, he needs to KO JMM. But JMM's boxing skills will win him the fight. Also, Valeron can't fight in the US. The other choice for JMM is Soto. I think the Valero fight ends early to mid rounds, heavily in favor of marquez. BUT, i think Valero does suprisingly well because of all those straight wild and HARD punches he throws. If pacquiao was very succesful doing it, so to could Valero. But i forgot about the states crap. Soto-JMM is a better fight the Guzman-Jmm from an action standpoint IMO, and guzman gets the winner of the winner of this fight vs pacman. i think thats fair

hopefully Chris John steps in, that would be a more meaningful fight They should call Joan Guzman to fight him!!

Top Rank should step in. Get Pacquiao in there, Bobby that is.

boxing confidential and boxing talk

YES, YES, YES. But, he can't fight in the states. I'd love to see that fight. I'd love to see Valero take on the Pacs and Marquezs. IMO JMM would handle Valero pretty well and probably wins a wide UD or late stoppage. Granted that JMM would not be caught with a lucky punch... JMM would counter and outbox him... Valero gets hit often, and JMM's power is respectable... Pac and Valero is a toss-up for me, but i'm leaning towards Pacman...

I saw this yesterday. I think its boxing confidential or ringside something.

this is ahuge blow for the ppv, which decent fighter are they gonna get in a month??? i think they wont be able to get anyone with good name....hope they throw in another fight...

nah, i really wanna see Soto-Guzman really badly. The division is deep and Marquez is the champ AND a top 5 p4p fighter. I cant see anybody turning down the oppurtunity. They should call up EDWIN VALERO!!!!! That would be awsome!!!! Marquez KO4!!!!! Unless they are saving him for a big showdown with pacquiao later in '08... In order for Valero to win, he needs to KO JMM. But JMM's boxing skills will win him the fight. Also, Valeron can't fight in the US. The other choice for JMM is Soto.
