On September 17, live on pay-per-view, two of the top super featherweights in the world will go to war. WBC super featherweight champion Marco Antonio Barrera will face the IBF super featherweight champion Robbie "The Bomber" Peden in unification showdown. Most American boxing fans remember Robbie Peden's spectacular one-punch 5th round knockout over Nate Campbell on Fox Sports Net.
In the fifth round, Campbell had Peden in serious trouble from a vicious bodyshot that was followed by an uppercut. For reasons unknown, Campbell dropped his hands and dared Peden to take a shot at his chin. Peden obliged the request and one left hook put Campbell to sleep at 2.27 of the 5th round. In a rematch which took place on Februaury 23, 2005, almost a year, Peden stopped Campbell in 8 rounds and became the second Australian Aboriginal world boxing champion in 34 years as he captured the IBF super featherweight title.
