World Boxing Council (WBC) Super Featherweight Champion, Marco Antonio Barrera will meet World Boxing Organization (WBO) Featherweight Champion Juan Manuel Marquez Saturday, March 17 at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. Boxing fans have been waiting a long time for this battle between two of the most recognized Mexican fighters in the world.
David Greisman - Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez are two men with too much in common. They've both competed for a good duration at the highest level. Both men know how to box, but each will dig deep and throw down when required to do so. They have faced a common opponent. Oh, and when they win, the ring announcer enunciates three names for them.
But fortune isn't always dished out evenly. Barrera is the popular Mexican warrior while Marquez is known of but underappreciated. Barrera has been in the headlines. Marquez is approaching a deadline.
With Barrera-Marquez, the former is a superstar while the latter is a pound-for-pound denizen who has strived for the brightest lights and biggest bucks. It is Marquez' hunger that may make the difference. [details]
