Tito said he came back to fight and to fight quality opposition, not for financial reasons. He then adds that he is a 5 time, 3 weight champion.
his dad says that they are well into their running (im assuming he meant roadwork) and lifting programs. :boxing:
barrera was robbed a few rounds in the decision but not the fight.
the sucker punch was even enough reason for him to lose it.
he may have also lost a few million dollars with a rematch with marquez. JMM would be the main man now.
had nady correctly called it a knockdown it would have never been an issue. Barrera even waited for a while, waiting for a call of some sort and nady didn't do shit.
I saw the fight much closer than the actual scorecards, and if the knockdown had been correctly called I even had MAB winning by a slight margin.
It was a great fight and its a shame there had to be controversy like that
The last few fights have been sort of a role reversal of sorts.
Barrera had been the bigger brawler of the too, but against Juarez he boxed to a win.
JMM had been the boxer, yet his last two fights he's been letting his hands go.
I see the first few rounds being kinda boring, as both are trying to figure out who's going to lead, with the action picking up in the mid rounds when JMM finally starts coming forward. I don't think barrera will go after JMM unless he has him hurt, which I doubt.
Barrera by close UD
This is a real challenge. The guy he is fighting beat demetrius hopkins and pavlik in the amatuers and is step up from sanchez. But if chavez beats him of course he was just another bum right?
JCC Jr's opponent, Celaya had a promising start but has since fizzled. We're from the same home town, we went to the same high school, so I am well aware of him. Rumor is that in recent fights he has been coming in very overweight and had very little time to actually train (this was the case when he headlined his last show on ESPN, where he lost by KO).
With that being said, JCC by KO in the mid rounds.
Yea, he was saying what the translator said (more or less) but he would throw in little comments after like "look at his face" and stuff like that.
Yeah, Marquez also never called the decision "BS" during the post fight interview. His manager added that in.

ha ha, good k for that
I think Morales gives him more trouble than does Barrera. Not only because of his size, but also because of his style.
I really think Morales gives Floyd a tough fight, and I can see a close decision going either way (depending on whether you like aggressiveness and punch output, or accuracy and ring generalship)
i like cottos fight game more than tony's. If Tony wins cool, If cotto wins, cool, thats all.
Same here. I'm actually just hoping for an exciting fight.
I'm a big fan of DLH, but right now, Oscar's mind is all over the place. Being a world class boxer, you should be in that mental state like Hopkins, Tszyu, etc and DLH has lost that hunger in him a long time ago.
Up until his fight with Vargas DLH was unstoppable. Right now he is not the same warrior he once was.
He looked so lazy against Strum and the way he looked for the Hopkins fight, he already lost it before he even stepped a foot in the ring.
it seems like DLH has other things in his mind now. I agree with you, he doesn't seem the same. Perhaps its the fact that he's aging...
I think Sugar Ray was a great boxer... I used to love his 'signature' combination to get off the ropes!
He could mix it up, dance with style, and manipulate the crowed to win by decision when he had to as well...
He was never going to knock out Duran or Hagler for example (without a baseball bat!) but he did what he had to do to beat them!
He tried to 'fight' Duran in the first fight, lost, came back and beat him with a different tactic in the second... That get's respect from me, not because it the bravest thing to do but it's certainly the cleverest.. And besides, anyone who got into the ring with Duran or Marvellous was no coward!
He managed his own career as well which is rare among boxers.. At least ones who got to the top.. he may have retired too many times but he always came back when financially he didn't have to..
Did he really cheat a bunch of his associates? I've not heard that before..
So what if he was a coke head for a bit as well? So was I and it aint' something to be laughed at and he should get kudos for beating it...
was he really a coke head?
