Comments Thread For: Barrera Compares Donaire To Pacquiao, Talks Rios

[bojangles1987]

I agree with everything Barrera said except for the Fight of the Year comment, I still think Orlando Salido/JuanMa 2 should get that honor.

That fight was too one-sided IMO. Rios-Alvarado was in doubt the entire time, and both the action and skill lever was better.

I agree but when Juanma dropped Salido I thought the fight was in doubt for Saldio then he swung it back in his favour which was great. But for the most part he did control the fight.

I'd say Round 9 (I think it was 9) was a better round then any of the Rios-Alvarado rounds.

But I'd probably lean on Rios-Alvarado being the better fight too.

Definitely round 9 you're thinking of, and maybe.

I agree except for the skill level part. Salido is a lot craftier than both Rios and Alvarado.

What about JuanMa???

Lopez isn't though. That's why Rios-Alvarado was better IMO. Both guys showed skill, and the fight was very competitive. Lopez basically got his ass kicked other than a few moments.

He's a bit more skilled than them.

People forget that Donaire started as a martial artist before he started boxing. Their difference is that Pacquiao is a street smarter and fighter.

I saw the unfiltered footage of Barrera vs Hamed. Hamed landed a wicked body shot and Barrera unleashed a DANGEROUSLY wet sloppy fart. I'd bet my bottom dollar he dooted his pants. Impossible to take anything Marco ever says seriously again.

Yeah because there are as many cuban americans as there are mexican americans.

Florida has a large concentration of Cuban-Americans. Yet it is not a boxing hotbed.
