Barrera did not win that fight based on his geography, or his output.
He countered beautifully, but how many times did he press Marquez?..
Did the criteria for judging fights suddenly become "best counterpunching?"
Barrera is fantastic at flailing accurate return fire, but he did not take the fight to Marquez.
Marquez took the fight to Barrera.
No?
Under Mexican rules Marquez won, punto.
Under Vegas rules Marquez won, period.
