Mexico city's Marco Barrera, now ex WBC superfeatherweight champion, insists he was the victim of a robbery this past saturday in las Vegas against Juan Manuel Marquez.

"It was a bad decision, they tore my goals to pieces, What fight did the judges see?" ... and it all appears that the judges all made a pact to rob him.

"The people know what happened in the ring, that is clear, but that i won, i have no doubt," he said.

When it came to a possible rematch with Juan Manuel Marquez, the now ex champ was very clear: "It doesn't interest me, they are the ones that need me to win, not me, and thats why im not interested, they can look for me."

About his retirement , Marco was very clear in signaling, "its a decision that i have been contemplating for three years," but he said that it would be a couple of months till his future would be defined.

For now he plans to take some vacations to detox himself from boxing.

When JUan Manuel Marquez's manager, Ignacio Beristain, found out about Barrera's declarations he said, "He shouldnt cry, Boxing is a mans sport."

He added that "When Barrera was favored in his second fight against Morales he didnt say anything; neither did we when we got robbed against Chris Jhon".

For the man of colorful language, like a good Veracruz native, he (Beristain) went further, "He was crying that they robbed him, that he wanted the rematch, well, there is a date of 15th of september if he is interested."

About what they would win by beating Barrera again he responded, "what we were interested in was winning, and sticking our card in and we did, althought not the way he wanted, the idea was to knock him out. We took the deicision, thats why we want the rematch to leave things very clear."

Then he recognized that Barrera is a great fighter that has many fans from many places, but instead of leaving like a great one he is doing it whining.

"He shouldn't cry, if he thinks he can beat us there is the date of the 15th of september, its up to him," He concluded.

He felt he won but i think what bothered him more was the large disparity in rounds. There is no way Marquez should be ahead by more than 3 rounds on any score card. And if the ref did not **** up it could be a draw. Barrera will fight to many big fights left to be made.

Barrera was not robbed I think 2 of the judges at the correct score.

[realheavyhands]

barerra wont that fight he landed more punches and all the clean punches. .. and got robbed of a knock down .. and look at marquez's face compared to marco..its worst when the greats get robbed beucase there trying to set their legacy ... propper score would of been 116 114 at best for marquez thats with 2 even rounds and the knockdown

i had it 114-113 Barrera but it could have gone either way, it wasn't a robbery.The scorecards were ridiculous though

[Super Cartel]

And at the worst it could of been a draw
Marquez is stil a shirt lifter

i had the same scorecard for barrera, but it could have gone either way, no way was it a blow out like the judges saw it, it was a very close fight.

[Sinisterevo]

In a very close fight I can see how the judges would have such lobsided scoring. The judges aren't scoring the fight as whole, they are scoring round-by-round.

He should just accept the rematch. And if he got robbed........he should blame Golden Boy who is promoting both fighters.
