Three division champ Marco Antonio Barrera (61-4, 42 KOs), cleared the path tonight for another big fight with his win over IBF Super featherweight champion Robbie Peden (25-3, 14 KOs). Barrera, known as the "Baby Face Assassin," is looking to exact revenge over Manny Pacquiao, the last fighter to defeat him almost two years ago. However, for that to happen Pacquiao must beat Barrera longtime rival Erik Morales, in their upcoming rematch, scheduled for January 2006.
Barrera dominated Peden on route to unify the WBC and IBF super featherweight titles to come within one step of unifying the division. It was jabs and hard right ahnds from the first round to the finish, as Peden had no answers. Although Peden was 13 pounds heavier at the start of the fight, but the weight advantage made no difference on the fight. There were no opening given to Peden to adjust to Barrera's jab, as Marco peppered him every time Peden tried to get offensive [details]
