    He has more than enough power and height to give Manny trouble...and I'm honestly hoping he sends Manny out of the ring express style the same way Joe Smith did Hopkins. Manny's 46 years old...he needs to be reminded of this tonight.
    Barrios isn't doing himself any favors. He's too nice. I would be putting on the Clubber Lang persona for this fight. It goes viral.

      I don't see the benefit of a robbery for a limited fighter like Brandon. Dude is tall and long but is incapable of boxing at long and mid range. Why would anyone want to see a guy who has one gear????

        I need Omar to take a beating for his loss to Andy Cruz. Dude lost me 100$ a few month ago.

          Barrios needs to win by knockout he can't put faith in the judges. A Pacquaio vs Mayweather rematch would help keep PBC afloat.

            I like both guys, thought Joet won. I'd put the two guys tonight in the bottom of a must watch top 25 but Mathias and Antione Russel and MBilli are pressure fighters and a higher level of interest because they have that electricity and top 5 must watch. Man that is what gets a fan excited. That extra element of electricity.

              People talk bad about Cruz, but when he's landing, he's fun to watch.

                When does this ref warn Salcido for holding?

                  Also liking that he went back to his basics which gave him success, which is tucking his chin inside a tight guard and weave with his waist while ducking.

                  He got too comfortable fighting easy fights, getting a rude awakening in his last bout against Fierro thinking he could just bulldoze over a fighter where he couldn't finish due to Tashiro's granite chin. He won't be able to finish every opponent either, he is heavy handed but not exactly a devastating puncher, just quite durable and hard to pin down, also catch him clean when he is in his A game.

                  Should go to Lightweight though.

                    God bless you Pitbull Cruz, you are a blast to watch. But why is this fight only 10 rds?

                      When Isaac Cruz fights, I will like to always tune in.
