It sucks for Anchondo that he loses the title regardless. I think he should get to keep it if he wins, just it not count as a title defense. He'll still have to pay the champ's sanctioning fee even though he isn't the champ. Plus 30 k of his purse goes to Barrios, and he might get another fine. That's too much for just weighing in too much when guys like Gatti have done the same with no penalty whatsoever.

I've never seen Anchondo. Only saw Barrios nearly beat Freitas. Don't really care that much who wins. Guess I'll go for Anchondo, but it won't matter to me if he loses. I'll pick Anchondo in 10.

The fact that Anchondo lost his title on the scales tells me he's mentally not all there for this fight,especially against a tough rugged veteran like Barrios.Barrios by mid round TKO.

Like most,I haven't seen much of either fighter.I know it'l be Anchondo's boxing ability and youth against Barrios's experience and heart though.Could be a very good fight.
