Roach: "Pacquiao Will Knock Barrera Out"

[amaru]

Barrera has been getting way too old for a while. You see it constantly in his fights nowadays...he fades down the stretch and in the later rounds. He just has had so many wars, its natural that it would happen.
Itd be the coolest thing ever if he beat Pacquiao. I just dont feel too strong about it.

Pacquaios greatest victory will always be by far his 1st win against Barrera, I dont think that will ever be changed.

this is one main thing i have noticed with barrera over his last few fights, from round 10, barrera seems to struggle in the championship rounds, which is why im hoping he can address this problem when he faces pacman, he has faded recently in his fights and pacman is someone who seems to be able to throw punches late on and get stronger later on in a fight because of his stamina.

i still have a feeling barrera can pull this off, but i think if he does, it will go to points. one thing i am certain of, barrera will leave it all in the ring on october 6th, if he loses, he will be going out on his shield.

Pac has been working on his right hook.IN the 3rd MOrales fight he pulled it out on morales and nailed him...morales was stunned and it went down hill from there.Im pretty sure he knows that everyone knows he just has the left straight.So im guessing he will be bringing sometime new to the table. Barrera is still going to kick his ass tho!Im Pretty sure barrera could jab him all night if he wanted(ALI)The way he did with rocky in the 2nd fight.He will brawl now and then just for the fans.

Barrera has a real good chance...

It almost seems as if the tables have turned and now the pressure to win is on Pacman. I don't care what anybody says when they fought the first time I could tell from the look on Barrera's face from the walkins he wasn't going to be in that fight.

Now Pacquiao has been in and out of the country. His managers have to go pick him up like he is a lil kid. His trainer doesn't seem to know whats going on with his comment "IF I can get Manny in shape" what do you mean "if", why can't he get Manny in shape. Manny couldn't figure out which promoter to go with, lost a big election, had to put his acting career on hold and seems paranoid that Barrera has people watching him and I don't know but seems he is about to get rid of Freddie for his childhood friend. That would be really ****** and would give me the final push to bet some good cash on Barrera. Can't wait to see this one: )

this will be shorter. PAC KO8 MAB

just saw pac's fights against Morlaes again and i think i may have overrated pac abit, if barera has the jab going, he could outbox pac...
i mean morales pretty much handled pacquiao 13 rounds to 4 or 14 rounds to 3 in the first 17 rounds of their fights..... i dont hink barrera has as stiff a jab as morales nor as good a right hand....

i hope pac wins, though but i wouldnt mind barrera winning...

[ml2niceguy]

im wit roach...he's gonna knock him out

Barrera did try to jab Pacquiao as much as he could but Pac just swatted them away.

Remember, he's a lefty. Pac can hook rather quickly now with his right hand. He's not the same one dimensional fighter he was against MAB and JMM.

yeah thats why i thought pac is gonna walk barrera down and ko him in like 7, but after seeing the morales's fights again, it brought me doubts because morales was handling pacman with jabs and straight rights to the body...
and pacs right hand improvement is overrated too, he has had that same right hook vs marquez and morales....
i hope pac wins, but i cant write barrera off now...i still think the most probable outcome is pac walking barrera down though....

[noypi2]

IS THAT IT.............WOW ....im not going for barrera cause i really dont like his attitude in or out the ring..........but i belive he still has what it takes to beat pac..........so what pack got better.....barrera got smarter........and hes always been good.........barrera did better against marquez than pac did i know your gonna say that was along tyme ago.......but still he looked better.....pac look silly against marquez after 2nd round

I agree He'll use his head..... literally use his head to headbutt Pac, just like what he did the first time they fought, good thing it did not connect. Barrera did better? All I know is they both got rob, judges scoring and clear KD that refs did not count. Let me tell you this, First fight they threw the towel in,, this time they'll throw in towel plus boxing gloves!

Has nothing to do with Barrera not being prepared. Barrera looked excellent in the first round and a half against Pac then once Pac got going it was over. The speed was just too much, and it still is.
