Barrera vs marquez

[amaru]

Seriously? Seriously?

....

Marquez dominated this fight after the first 6 rounds which went 3-3 to start with.

do you seriously think marquez dominated barrera that night?? dominated would be like what pacquiao did to barrera in there first fight, or what buster douglas or lennox lewis did to mike tyson. marquez did not do this to barrera, it was a close fight and although i think barrera won the fight, i would have no complaints if people think marquez won a close fight, because it was a close fight and no way did marquez dominate barrera. the judges scorecards were a joke that night.

the more i see that fight, the more i wish barrera would have fought marquez 7-8 years ago, he would have won more convincingly i believe

It was a competitive fight, but Marquez clearly had the upperhand after round 6. He beat Barrera's ass in the 7th minus the knockdown (which would have been 9-9 anyway if the knockdown was scored correctly) and almost just as bad in the 10th. He didn't put a beating on Barrera like Pacquiao did, but he was always landing the more and effective cleaner blows. Barrera did good for the first 6 rounds and it was 3-3 a piece, but Marquez won every round after that.

The fight was not close.

To clear the air on the deduction, which some are labeling a "cheap shot" - this was entirely Nady's fault. If he had been at attention he would have noted the knockdown and stepped in immediately. It was a war and when Barrera turned the tables and connected without any response from the referee, he hesitated for a split second but was already transformed into full attack mode going for the kill. Confusion combined with aggression in a very brief interval resulted in the foul. Typical Barrera intensity when he has his opponent hurt, Marquez also didn't go down fully (he was somewhat bent over) and with no call from Nady Barrera's instinct was probably to finish flattening him out.
