Barrera vs Juarez, good decision?

I don't think it was a draw, I had 116-112 for Barrera, he fought a young hard puncher but outboxed him for the most part. Rocky fought great but he's a **** saying it was only a draw b/c it was in Barreras home town, he should thank god he got a draw instead of the loss the I personally felt he shoould have got.

it was a good decision. barera was only landing jabs.
juarez was landing the big power shots and even hurt barera.

last week they should of had the same decision. a draw between collazo and hatton.

i really thought it was a bad decision. This was one of the few times i agreed with Letterman, Berrara won 8 rounds and should have been awarded the fight. But hats off to rocky, he should alot of heart

I scored it 115 - 113 for Barrera.
But I'm ok with the draw cuz it was a good fight!

I had it 115-113 Juarez, but am no way disappointed in a draw. It was a very good, close fight that could have gone either way. I'd say that qualifies as a draw.

i had it for barrera as well but i think the judges has the better view of the hard punches. plus barrera's face and bloody nose might have influenced the judges to give the close rounds to juarez

I'm in Australia and we didn't get the fight. BS had it 115-113 Barrera and HBO had it 116-112 Barrera so i'm just wondering what you guys thought? Was a draw fair or should Barrera have got the decision?

i'm in australia too mate, and i think it WAS a fair decision............i watched the fight, and it is so difficult listening to the HBO commentators as they are as bias as ****!.....I'd say a pretty fair decision!

I guess it was fair,

I thought if anything I thought it should have gone to Juarez,I thought HBO was a little biased towards Barrera(how many times can you mention his GREATNESS in a one round?).It was Juarez's first big fight,and I thought he performed well.

IMHO I thought it was a decent call....I'm not sure how to score the 11th but if you gave it to Barrera then my card was a 5rds Barrera 6 rds Rocky......You really have to try and phase out the HBO commentators though because the show HUGE favoritism and they were on Barrera's nuts this fight.
