Comments Thread For: Marco Antonio Barrera Views Hamed as Biggest Career Win

[Boxfan83]

As far as I know, Barrera wasn't at fault for any of the proposed theories which try to explain Hamed's losing the fight due to various pre fight failures, for example there's "he didn't train enough. Emmanuel Stewart ruined his style..." so on, so forth. They're probably all true to some degree. But, again, not Barrera's fault.

Barrera just followed the gameplan. Of course its easier said than done with powerful guys that fight un-orthodox BUT as long as you keep your shoulders up, and punch down the middle, your chances greatly improve. Hameds punches were sliding off barreras shoulders leaving him open down the middle all night. Barrera couldnt miss with his jab.

I think the Hamed win really opened his career up to a new level and probably had the biggest impact. It made him a hall of famer. The Morales 3 win made him an all-time great and was his best win but I can see why he holds the Hamed win in such regard.
