Barrera looks down at Pacquiao’s punch

[-Hyperion-]

Did Terrible sound hungry for it? I think Diaz owes him one and should give him, just Erik did through out his career.

he thought he won the fight and his family has told him he stilll has enought to beat diaz, i think that should motivate him, he sounds like he wants it but im not sure he'll fight if arum doesn't want to promote him...and arum has been urging morales ot retire for 2 years....

I hope he hasn't blown out and keeps in shape in case he gets the rematch.

Lookin' down at Pac's punch?

Barrera was looking up from the canvas after taking a Pacquiao straight left about 3 years ago.

[MakeDamnSure]

Obviously MAB has nothing left to say about PAC,that's why he's saying all these crap....He knows deeply within his heart that he'll face another nightmare on Oct 6..

[Run]

Anyway, pretty much all power punchers are the fast fighters.

That's ridiculous and far from the truth.

For whatever reason, Barrera was able to take all of Pacquiao's biggest punches. I do consider Pacquiao a big puncher, but not a devastating monster type puncher. I agree that Juarez is a bigger puncher, but I'm not so sure about Morales. Morales was bigger, but by and large he was a furious arm puncher.

I think MAB is saying this 'cause it took Pac to KO him in 11 or 10rds.(I can't recall what round) Eventhough he was taking a beatin,he still took alot of good shots from PAC.

DESPITE the beating he absorbed from Manny Pacquiao, Marco Antonio Barrera continues to belittle the Filipino sensation’s smashing victory against the Mexican superstar nearly four years ago.

In an article that came out over the weekend on Mexican paper Esto, the 33-year-old Barrera said he does not consider Pacquiao as a real solid puncher.

Although Barrera concedes that Pacquiao has probably the fastest pair of hands, the Mexican ranks the General Santos City native lower than bitter compatriot Erik Morales and Rocky Juarez in the power-punching department.

“He is not the greatest puncher that I’ve met. His best asset is the speed of his hands. His fast combinations are the ones that are really doing the damage,” said Barrera.

This is the reason why Barrera hired three Japanese slicksters and an amateur fighter to simulate Pacquiao’s blinding combinations.

“There are several good quality Mexican sparring partners but I decided to get Japanese fighters because their style is like Pacquiao,” added Barrera.

Barrera’s long-time Japanese trainer Sendai Tanaka has signed up two undefeated Japanese fighters who agreed to work as sparring partners for Barrera.

First to agree is Takahiro Aoh, a 23-year-old southpaw featherweight with a record of 15- 0, eight by knockout.
Filipino sources in Japan contacted by BusinessMirror said Aoh possesses good lateral movement apart from having good timing in shifting his head and body from side to side. But unlike Pacquiao, Aoh is not the type of slugger who will slug it out with his opponent.

Aoh is said to be a good counterpuncher and has good timing with his combinations.

Another Japanese set to join Aoh in Mexico is Yoshimitsu Yashiro, a lanky five-foot-nine southpaw who is unscathed in 18 fights, 10 via knockout.

The 27-year-old Yashiro is said to be a more aggressive than Aoh, as disclosed by the source who has been working in Japan for less than a year, receiving a monthly pay of $1,000.

The same source said Barrera may not really mix it up with Pacquiao and will probably try to outbox the Filipino from a distance.

“If you saw Barrera’s last two fights against Rocky Juarez, you will notice Barrera fought like a boxer who just wants to win, and not to thrill the crowd that is typical of a Mexican warrior,” said the source.

Back in November 2003 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, a heavy underdog Pacquiao pulverized Barrera inside 11 rounds.

The win jumpstarted Pacquiao’s ascend to the top of the pound-for-pound ladder as it gave him an opportunity to face and beat other superstar of their division, most notably Barrera’s compatriot Erik Morales.

Already assured of a relevant place in history apart from being financially secured via his multimillion-dollar fight earnings, Barrera insisted that he cannot just end his career without exacting revenge at his Filipino tormentor.

“I just cannot end my career without avenging my loss to Pacquiao,” added Barrera.

The 28-year-old Pacquiao is currently training at the RWS Gym in Cebu.

This is the first time the feared southpaw ****er is holding his training camp in the Philippines in preparation for a major bout.

Ever since he started campaigning in the United States, Pacquiao did most of his preparations at the famed Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, California, under legendary guru Freddie Roach.

Roach, a revered trainer among Filipino fighters, arrived nearly two weeks ago and has since been in-charge of Pacquiao’s Cebu regimen.

If those guy could emulate pac they must be pretty well schooled e****ally if MAB took them as there sarring partners.

I think they are going to hit it big someday, MAB even could emulate and change his style of fighting

I think MAB is saying this 'cause it took Pac to KO him in 11 or 10rds.(I can't recall what round) Eventhough he was taking a beatin,he still took alot of good shots from PAC.

He took a beating but Pac lateral speed was to fast for Barrera, his corner stopped the fight anyay.

barrera will try to box, but i think pacquiao will make it a fight

[Chups]

For this fight Pac chose Mexican sparring partners while MAB chose Japanese fighters that are "similar" to Pac. Nothing wrong with it....just saying/noticing.


There's also nothing wrong with what MAB said. Pac ain't the strongest he's fought, but credited Pac as a speed demon.
