i dunno, i feel like if barrera is able to work the jab and the straight like morales did in the first fight he'll take this one.
i dunno what happened to morales in the rematch, he couldnt block the straight left and wasnt using his jab in the later rounds. IMO, that hit in the second round took his legs from him and he just couldnt put any steam on his punches.
The problem with Barrera's jab is that he doesn't have the reach advantage that Erik has. I'm not sure if he can use it effectively against Pac. I would say Barrera's best weapon is counterpunching.
I think Manny is a 60 - 40 favorite, but I could never get myself to lay money on any of Barrera's opponents. I'm too big a fan. Plus MAB will most likely be the underdog, so he'd get me more money with a win.

this is a good point, and its hard to be a counterpuncher against a guy as quick as manny. barrera's not ****** though, he could easily just duck manny. he's gotta have somethin up his sleeve. maybe some drugs a la wlad klit?

Personally, I think Barrera's best weapon is to prepare himself mentally.
Just think about it, Pac demolished MAB in their first fight, and just recently, Pac KO'd Morales who had never been stopped before in his career. Psychologically speaking, it's like "Holy ****, how can I beat this monster?"
It's very interesting how Barrera can psych himself up and rebuild the confidence that he can really beat Pacquiao. That's the secret that every MAB fan is hoping for. We will find out how mentally tough Barrera is.
i hope pac goes in thinkin that, **** i already know barrera gonna lay the pipe on pac, i promise.
Why do always get reeled in by these Pac nuthuggers? You always fall for their mind tricks. You need to calm down and toughen up mentally, you easily get intimidated.

Since you know this and know that. Why don't you just send out letters, e-mails, phonecalls,etc.. To team MAB, Morales, Marquez, Gonzalez, Vasquez, Chavez, Juebones. So you can tell them your secret plan on beating the One-dimensional King. 'Cause so far those legendary trainers of theirs have not come up w/ one single thing to beat PAC! I mean for chrissakes it's one arm, the only arm, one measly left hand, that one has to worry about when facing PAC.
