de la hoya is to buissy with his own fight to get out there. b-hop is in traning. mosely is on vacation. so not much left in form of good speakers to this fight from golden boy

I think its going to be a great fight. I really like what Ive seen of Rocky, hes an exciting fighter. I dont know who wants to see Barrera-Pac II. The result is obvious...

The probababilty of this being a mismatch for the more experienced and polished Barrera may have something to do with the lack of buzz. Plus, I don't think that the general boxing public knows who Rocky Juarez is.

rocky has a bit of buzz, he was on espn a few times and he has a big time promoter. he would have been on the espn ppv if he wasnt injured i believe.


i think that raheem clearly beat jaurez and the ref did everything on his power to get the hometown kid a decsion. he took points for no reason at all. i think that this has soured him in some peoples eyes, that and his loss to soto. if anything they have def raised some question marks..

I really wasn't thrilled with Juarez until I saw the fight with Soto. In that fight he was tested & he could've folded & gave up but he kept trying to KO him. He even had Soto in trouble & sustained his punching power through the fight. I liked the desire & heart I saw in him during that fight & I think that fight taught him alot. He's got legitimate one punch KO power & MAB better be very cautious. He punches very well to the body & head & doesn't have a bad chin. I think he's a live underdog in this fight & has a good chance of pulling the upset.

I think the reason is cuz most don't view Rocky as a serious threat mostly cuz of his loss to Soto who was a relative unknown and a clear underdog.He does have a chance he's a good fighter with power but I still think that MAB schools him on his way to a wide decision.

Exactly. He had Soto stunned a few times in the later rounds. And that Rocky was only throwing left hooks. When he puts his punchs to the head and body he is a differnt fighter, a better fighter.

I expect Rocky to fight his heart out in a war with Barrera and to see Rocky come out on top.

MAB-Rocky will be a good fight and hopefully an excelent preliminary of things to come...


MAB by UD or late round KO/TKO
