So is Barrera "Cool" for taking the fight with Marquez?

happy new years man, are you as excited about this : http://www.boxrec.com/date_search.ph...07&mm=03&dd=04
as I am?

Am planning to watch the fight live bro. Just hope that hoya won't make this a bargaining leverage to behest pac to sign with GBP. Am not giving peņalosa much o a chance but I think goress and bautista has a chance.

That's exactly my point, if marco would be receiving more money against pac and would have the chance to redeem himself, why in the world would he fight a low reward/high risk against marquez?

Its not exactly low reward, the undercard is going to get some buys on its own. See him takeing a higher percent witch I'm sure he is getting over jmm will look better because he can say I got 60% instead of 40%.
Sure the money amount will be better with the lower percent pac fight. But when he gets what ever percent he will get againts jmm he can say look I'm the draw. These people are here to see me. Like I said its the principle of getting the percent he thinks he deserves, not the actual money amount itself

I agree that he could have done that, but i won't blame him for taking on Marquez which will be a very difficult fight for him. I just think that he feels he can beat Marquez and Pacquaio will still be there, (although maybe still unavailable) or else he would try to get that career sealing Pacquiao (financially and either done due to a loss or redemption) fight now.

As I said earlier, going against marquez is a low reward/high risk fight for marco. Juan manuel is a very dangerous fighter and I think that even if he has lost some step or two in his last fight against jaca, he's still one of the best technical fighters around. I believe that pacman will fight marco given the correct circumstances but that time may not be now. Who knows the court may rule in favor of hoya and fans will be treated with a good news this month.

I've sen very little of those two guys, but they sure are taking a step up in class, especially Gorres, let's see if they're ready. I think Ponce de Leon is much more beatable though, but I don't know if Bautista has the style to do it.

Bro in my case, I don't have doubt on Bautista's fighting style it's more of his fighting heart that needs to be tested. And we will surely see that on this fight.

Okay, but what about the risk of career ending defeat. Marquez maybe slowing down but he is still a great fighter that may give marco a permanent damage. The probability of not being able to fight pac after this one, because some reason or another, is big.

God damn it can't keep up with you guys. I'm on a sidekick phone so I fall pages behind.
I hope boom boom wins. I like seeing him fight

What I want to assure you is that both are world class fighters. Gorres can box and he likes mixing it up but he lacks power. Bautista is a powerful bodypuncher but his chin is still suspect and we all know that daniel is a very powerful puncher. But as you said ponce de leon is beatable and I hope bautista knows how.

I agree he has an impressive style, i like it, but i'm not sure it's the right style to face Ponce de Leon with. I think he would have to show quite some boxing skills to pull it out and not get lured into big exchanges, and that's dangerous for a young and untested fighter. It's kind of like being the best swimmer in the kiddie pool and then being tossed in the deep end, some don't get drowned but those are the rea talented ones.
