Later tonight in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, on HBO Pay-Per-View, it will be champion vs. champion as WBC super featherweight champion Marco Antonio Barrera (60-4, 42 KOs) takes on IBF super featherweight champion Robbie Peden (25-2, 14 KOs). Peden was Barrera's former sparring partner and helped prepare Marco for some of his biggest fights, including Naseem Hamed.
Peden says that he knows Marco so well, it will not be an all-out war in the ring. Confident of his power, Peden feels that he is stronger man at 130 pounds. Barrera is looking to capture Peden's title and move one step closer to unifying the entire 130 pound weight class. Barrera has never held two major world championships at the same time. Peden achieved his dream of winning a world championship earlier this year, when he he scored an 8 round stoppage over Nate Campbell on on February 23, 2005. Peden promises that he will do everything in his power to make sure that Marco does not take his title away.
The main supporting bout features three division world champion, Sugar Shane Mosley (40-4, 35 KOs), facing unbeaten Jose Luis Cruz (32-0-2, 27 KOs) in a bout scheduled for ten rounds. They always say that undefeated fighters do not know how to lose. Is an upset brewing? Mosley looks to get by Cruz and move on to bigger and better things. Cruz sees Molsey as his ticket to stardom and wants to make Shane knockout victim number 28. [details]
