Barrera needs to retiree....

[USA4LIFE]

Barrea most deffinately did not spit out his mouthpeice on purpose. One of the times it clearly showed Barreras mouthpeice slip out while he was punching, it was like he spit it out or anything. And Juarez didnt hurt Barrera in that second round, he just knocked him off balance with a good hsot but Barrera came right back firing. He wasnt really hurt.
115-113 Barrera

I personally thought Barreras bleeding nose was causing him breathing problems which is why he kept his mouth opened so much, but he said it was the type of mouthpiece so whatev.

you guys are making excuses for barrera he clearly spit out the mouthpiece on his own, juarez punchs were hurting him so he was buying time

Sometimes you get a mouthpiece that just irritates the hell out of you...sometimes they feel good right away, that's how it is. MAB is still awesome at 32, he's a benchmark that we can base all other featherweights with..no way he should retire.

barrera is still the man he gave a few rounds away and that cost him

yes, barrera was hurt, and barrera was ready to get knocked out, but damn if rocky didn't let him off the line, all rocky had to do was place more punchs together. i doubt barrera would give rocky another shot though highly deserved. if rocky get a rematch this fight will even be more explosive and juarez putting his hands together will tear into barrera hard and to add that for some reason rocky wasn't letting his left hand go, in the rematch he works it and gets a tko if not a ko.

he's a pro, and hes smart enough to know that by going in with a new mouth piece he could spit it out and buy time, barrera went in with a new mouth piece knowing this.

Nah I agree, he was looking good on his toes but that completely spent his energy. It's just about that time..

he needs to retire. he was lookin extra washed up tonight. just the slowness and he threw some wide punches.

Nothing is wrong with Barrera. He fought an opponent who is better than Fana or Peden. He's always been the same.

Give Rocky his credit

I worry about a guy that has been through that much in his career. I agree with Manny Stewart, his post fight assessmentt was spot on: Barrera at this point cannot change; whereas Rocky is young,, getting better, and would have the confidence to probably plow Barrera in a rematch.

In answer to the question: Retire- No. Pick his next opponent very carefully- Yes. Go out big with another mega-fight or two.
