    Juarez is not ready for a man like Barrera. They may be taking the fight to early to get in on the Barrera cash machine, but its going to get their boy hurt.

    Barrera dominates until ko'ing Juarez.

          Back in 2001-2002, I was eyeing from a distance but with great interest the progress of two fighters: Ricardo Williams, Jr.and Rocky Juarez. Ricky was dispatching the likes of Damien Guerra, Rodney Jones, Mark Adams, Terron Millet and Anthony Washington while Rocky took care, rather quickly, of Corey Alarcon, Javier Ortiz, Ivan Alvarez and Hector Acero Sanchez. Then, in 2003, a suddenly listless Ricky met Juan Valenzuela, lost then stayed away from the ring for some 9 months. I concentrated on Rocky and watched delightedly as Jason Perez, Frankie Archuleta and Antonio Diaz tumbled in front of Rocky, one after the other. I watched with a knowing smile David Murillo go in 26 seconds flat. I was so much into Rocky that I barely noticed that Ricky lost again (to Manning Galloway, SD) as I focused on Rocky going through Hector Velasquez and Joe Morales. I shrugged as I followed the Raheem fight: t'was an off day, I told myself. I sprung out of my seat as Rocky disposed of Guty Espadas in the 2nd and Juan Carlos Ramirez as the bell that would have ended the first round was about to ring.

          But then came Sotto.

          But that was okay. After all, Rocky, in my eyes, redeemed himself by dusting off Hurtado and Medrano.

          And so now, here comes Marco Antonio Barrera. Are we ready for MAB Rocky?

          Rocky will always have the puncher's chance. But it shall take much more than that to beat a Barrera. Morales, Pacquiao and Jones showed that one has to be quick with the hands to do that. Is Rocky quick enough? Can he tee off, at all? Also, the three showed that you have to fight Marco from angles. Pac and Jones were quick enough on their feet to get those angles. Erik? Well, he's Erik. Can Rocky find the angles without being Erik or without the quickness of Pac and Jones?

          On the other hand, is MAB really still THE MAB? After the last Morales fight, it's tough to say: he has not faced anyone who was really able to test him. How much, if any, has Morales taken out of MAB in spite of having lost? Fana and Peden are not exactly the paths to enlightenment.

              I seem to think that Barrera has lost some of his old stuff. He is getting up there in age and has been in a lot of wars. I think he is ripe for a young gun slinger like Rocky. If Rocky presses the action I think we will see Barrera fade by round 6 with Rocky dominating more from then on.

              I think its similar to Hatton vs Tzu situation. A great fighter on the down side of his career is fighting a young up and comer who will out work them.

                MAB IS STILL GREAT, but anything can happen in boxing and Rocky is a LIVE UNDERDOG..

                anyway I will STILL go for MAB by UD or late rounds KO/TKO ...

                  barrera will win this, but he won't last forever and a year from now it would be a different result, but for now marco is still class enough for juarez and could even stop him.

                      I predict rocky by round 6 ko...Barrera is no longer what he used to be...he is much slower and it is time to go.....after rocky knocks out barrera...pac is next and pac will fall easier than barrera...pac is all hype...he only fights "has beens"....like larios and morales...i can't wait for rocky to demolish barrera an pac...
