De La Hoya Leans Toward Barrera To Win

[uclanemesis]

I just watched the latest TV interview on Marco and he was quoted as saying that Manny is a thorn to him, by beating him badly and for beating up a lot of Mexicans, he wants to exact revenge for him and his people.

For your pleasure, I will not be the one to not give full credit to Marco if he chose to bring his bicycle in the ring just to win. He needs it.

For a country proud of a battalion of world champions, needing a bicycle just to pin down the only boxer plaguing them... geez... tough to swallow man...

Well thats why this is boxing, a martial art and not a drunken slugfest to see who can knock the other guy down with brute force. That's why the fighters wear gloves man. Floyd Mayweather is the P4P #1, and I haven't seen him knock too many guys out by standing in front of them and swinging wildly. And that's also why they even have a point system, otherwise they'd just look at their faces and determine the winner. It's about boxing, if boxing equals bicycle to you then that's a different thing, but boxing has always been about strategy and dexterity meeting physical ability.

Anyway, the only way for us to really be able to find out the outcome is when they meet in the ring again. I consider Barrera a dangerous opponent and Pacquiao needs his A game to pull out another stoppage victory.

True, and I truly hope you aren't one of those people that eats up everything Ronnie Nathanielsz writes. He said Barrera isn't training hard. That's a bunch of BS, Barrera is gonna be prepared and focused come fight night. If Pac beats him this time then there will be nothing more to talk about.

When he had the fever, he KOed Morales in 3 rounds. Pray that he doesn't need a sense of urgency. Those who paid for the PPV will only see 1 minute of MAB vs. Pac fight.

You wouldn't make that bet and you know it. Furthermore, quit being a nuthugger. Barrera has a pretty decent chance. I'm not into name-calling either, it's just very obvious that you're COMPLETELTY biased.

Not just that. He doesn't even back up his argument at all. He thinks Pacquiao is like 8 feet tall and 300 lbs and just knocks people out like The Sandman in Mike Tyson's Punchout. Completely ridiculous to dismiss a boxer like Barrera like that.

Well, Ronnie Nathanielsz writes those stories for a living so I can understand why he writes a lot of articles about Pacquiao or Barrera even those useless ones. I have my own judgment so I can distinguish the rumors from the truth. Although to be honest as a Filipino, I'm hoping those stories are true.

I can't help but root for Pacquiao but I want the rematch to be a competitive and classic battle. Barrera is also my idol especially after he embarrassed the Prince and I want him to retire with his pride intact.

Dude, Barrera has no chance. I can compare Pacquiao's power to an 8 foot 300 pound giant. He's gonna KO Barrera like Sandman did Tyson in the Punch-Out video game. Pac KO KingKong!

so you mean Pacquiao is NOT gonna knock him out at all? Cuz in the video game Tyson never gets knocked out by The Sandman.

Umm I don't know...you're the one who mentioned it.

Nevermind. But you should play Mike Tyson's Punchout it's an excellent game.

one thing about bareera is his syle allows him to exchange agressively because hes always in posion to do everything..he needs to come out easy and not make pac get agressive at first.. ease himself into the fight .. and counter let pac feel his power early just enought to keep him of so he can work his jab... when u try n **** pac out he goes crazy and relentless and is hell to setle down.... he needs to box and counter when pac wants to fight .. pac also goes into a shell at times he cant fight going backward at all that when barerra needs to attack like an animal pac only does it a few times a fight and he needs to take adavantage of it as soon as pac just thinks **** it and attack he needs to pop that jab out there over and over and slip inside the left and hug and throw the right hand at the same time and sometimes follow with the hook to the head or body and immediately back up and jab jab jab..
this will allow him to use pacs over aggresiveness to his advantage
