Barrios is a big, strong 130 pounder who breaks guys down who stand in front of him. He fights a very physical strategy and can break Juarez down. Juarez relies on punching power, but he's right in front of you. Plus, he hasn't knocked anyone out at 130. He's too small at 130 for physical guys like Barrios.
lol barrios get ko'ed??that guy has the heart of a lion and a granite chin...freitas ko'ed him only because barrios was fainting because of the blood loss...
I got Barrios too. Is it just me or does Rocky now fight like a HeavyWeight? I mean he throws very few punches while waiting for that 1 big KO shot. He's lost all sense of work rate and combinations even against guys he totally out classes like Hernandez.
He just waited for a big left all night.....he landed one and dropped Hernandez but still couldn't put together combo's to finish him....it has and will continue to hurt him against better fighters.
What Guzman did was fucken classic! He gets a bad rap but hes a gifted fighter and i enjoy seeing him fight, especially when he fights like he did against Barrios, that shit is legendary.
It's cool because it was totally unexpected.
I mean everyone knows Guzman can fight, but he does rely on the cautious style and lol one would think he'd at least start off in that style against a vicious, hard nosed, slugger who just constantly attacks.

It's almost guaranteed to be fireworks if you compare/contrast.
I think I'm set in my views however. By default Barrios will throw more punches, Juarez will land the more "meaningful" ones. We'll go from there.
I'd shit bricks if Juarez came out throwing like Guzman did though.
lol I guess he figured "screw it" I'll just run at Barrios and fight.

Guzman did really good despite the fact that Barrios out weighed him.
I heard Barrios trained to make weight that whole training camp though rather then to fight.. Not that it would have made a difference against Guzman.
actually if i recall correctly guzman outweighed barrios on fight night by a pound or two even though barrios was the one who failed to make weight
either way they both stepped into the ring as welterweights
Yeah, i think the styles make for a great fight. Very tough fight to call.

If anyone is getting KTFO'd it's definitely Barrios. lol.
I mean Juarez as you pointed out has the nasty power, and he has the solid chin. Barrios has flaws, and does appear to be the lesser of the two technically. That's for sure. But I think he's just going to put way too much pressure on Juarez........and will throw far too many punches. Like some sort of assault.
Why? Only because Juarez is there. He doesn't evade,and uses his upper body movement (sporadic) to avoid shots. But he has his own style with that.
If someone fights in the plodding style against Barrios, it's fucking doom. He'll force Juarez in to a fight.
I'd even bet he'd get up 2 or 3 times being floored (Barrios)..........to win rounds by throwing hail storms of punches.

yes, he failed to make weight and was stripped of his title.
if he had won instead of guzman the title would have remained vacant.
When you're facing a puncher, the last think you want to be is weight drianed and i belive Barrios will be weight drained and won't be as strong as he has looked in the past.

Rocky Juarez wins this one!
Could be by ko if Barrios bring the pain.

Yeah I'm picking Jorge Barrios over Rocky Juarez.
But the fight could be super thrilling, lol.

That was the word going around then he was scheduled to face Marquez. I assume he got a nutrition coach.
oh so all of a sudden you think u have good predictions cause of the Campbell-Diaz.. lmfao..
no one cares about Juarez anymore, hes done.
So how many rounds did Vargas beat Mayorga by? :nonono:
So you agree with me about Barrios beating Juarez? Good stuff.
It makes me wonder for a guy that has been losing most of his fights if not all to big name fighters, why does he still get title shots and fight named ppl still? Not ever having a major title.
Put him in with the regulars and he beats them.
What has brought Rocky back to fight top fighters is the effort he puts out when challenged against a top fighter. Against Marquez he got beat but he put up a fight in the later part of the fight. Rocky wasn't able to drop Marquez but Marquez didnt' charge Rocky like he charged Pacquiao and Rocky was able to stop Marquez in his tracks. Rockys power is for reals. He'll hurt Barrios.
should be a good fight, id take barrios also. juarez just doesent let his hands go and if you dont throw punches you cant win fights at the highest level
