"Will To Win!" PACQUIAO-BARRERA II

PACQUIAO-BARRERA II



As a direct result of the settlement between Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions, the Manny Pacquiao vs Marco Antonio Barrera rematch is now calendared on October 6, 2007 at Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV, USA. Pacquiao, at 28, is on his prime while Barrera, at 33, is considering this fight to be his last. Will Barrera, badly beaten by Pacquiao in their first encounter, muster enough tricks from his brilliant boxing career to make this a competitive fight or will Pacquiao, like what he did to Morales in their 3rd encounter, bulldozed an aging Barrera into an early submission?

Leave some predictions and comments about the fight.

I have a feeling that Barrera will dig deep down and pull out the upset. Manny's training wasn't that great to begin with (even Roach was complaining) so he might not be as focused. Also, he trained in the PI where there are tons more distractions than in LA.

Barrera by decision in a repeat of Barrera - Hamed.

29 yr old barrera was ****d by a lesser version of pacquiao. This 33 yr. old version of MAB despite being more focus wont last 11 rounds.

Imho

MAB will start in keeping this fight in the outside...jabin'..jabin'..and jabin'...evading PAC's left, trying to control the tempo of the game...will exchange blows late of Round 2. MAB will keep PAC at bay, for a while, countering with Right jabs everytime PAC will throw his Left. He will test PAC's power in the middle of 3rd, however, PAC will unload a dynamite right hook in his face that will stagger him at the end of this round. By the 4th round, PAC will be busy showering punches in MAB's head...practicing unspeakable acts of destruction in his foe. Marco will be saved by the bell.
In the middle of 5th, Pacquiao will finally capped his non-stop assault with one perfect straight left, toppling MAB to the canvas. TKO
