Barrera Vs Chavez is signed, no Barros fight!

[Kimmy]

You lookin for a bet?

Not at this stage, i'll ponder it. I think Chavez wins only by dec, don`t think he can stop Barrera!

Come on man, Pac always had a punch and Barrera defense is not anythin to ooh and ahh about. Big puncher against a fighter with little defense is always a recipe for disaster. People just didnt pick Pac cause he was a relative unknown.

So what's different in this situation? Chavez isn't exactly a household name you know.

Pacquiao was known before the Barrera fight, he had already gained recognition with his wins over Ledwaba and Skinny Hussein.

I hit you up with it because you might remember a fight that wasnt there. The refs werent seeing the same fight as you and neither was I. It was a blowout. Much like the Gatti fight except Chavez was taking the punches better than Corrales or Gatti.

Oh please don't hit me with some **** you looked up on boxrec.

A fighter CAN dominate a fight on rounds, while still participating in a close fight.

Dude you're out to lunch on this one.

Pop it in and watch it again.

Gatti was averaging 8 punces a round. Chavez was averaging 108.

It was about 6-3 on the cards, but the rounds were competitive.

Chavez was making Floyd work overtime.

There's nothing wrong with saying it was a competitive fights. It takes nothing away from Floyd.

The judges and I both had Toney beating Jirov by a comfortable margin too. Would you say that Toney DOMINATED that fight or would you say that Jirov WAS NOT competitive?

Just answer that alone and you have your answer to the Mayweather/Chavez issue. Of course Mayweather/Chavez wasn't as close as Toney/Jirov, but both winners won many many close competitive rounds in the fight.

True, Mayweather's sweet defense was on high alert that night. mayweather i think knew he was in a fight regardless that he was winning!

No... anybody can throw 100 punches in a round man. Chavez wasn't accurate at all and was getting tagged. Just because he threw 100 punches a round doesnt A) make him top notch B) make him good C) make it competitive. You have to do "effective aggression" like Castillo. Put in the Castillo-Mayweather I fight.

I didnt think the fight was competitive at all. Thats why Chavez corner had to stop the fight in round 9 like Gattis corner.

From boxing rec here was the score cards:
Referee: Jon Schorle | Judge: Lou Filippo 89-82 | Judge: Marty Sammon 88-83 | Judge: Tom Kaczmarek 87-84 ~

the fight was close though
yeah, floyd won most of the rounds, but chavez was competitive throughout
alot of the early rounds were VERY close

I told The Truth during the fight that Chavez TKO of Levander was because 'something was wrong with Levander'. I just no that dude Chavez aint taking nobody out like that unless something wrong. (PM him if you dont believe me)

[Kimmy]

Stands to reason if Chavez can give mayweather a decent fight by his standards he should be able to give barrera a problem too. Although, it usually deosn`t turn out this way, i see Barrera winning a competitive UD!
