I'm going with Barrera by UD. Barrera wouldn't take this rematch if he didn't believe he could win it, and this time more convincingly. Obviously the mouthpiece was an issue with it falling out and everything. I believe that effected him in a big way as far as his comfort zone went. With a relaxed Barrera, he'll take charge. The only way I see Rocky winning is if he applies nonstop constant pressure and is RELENTLESS. You can't just sit around on Barrera or your playing into his hands. If Rocky has a chance at a UD, he needs to keep applying the pressure and throwing combinations. No 1 punch will do it, and I still don't think he can match Barrera technically. I'm telling you, Barrera wouldn't have taken this if he knew he couldn't win it. Barrera by a larger margin UD.

Exactly why I'm picking MAB.Originally posted by ELPacmanBarrera wouldn't take this rematch if he didn't believe he could win it
This fight can go both ways as what we've seen in the first fight. But for MAB to give Juarez an immediate rematch, it shows the degree of MAB's confidence against the guy.
Considering that MAB is contemplating on retirement and have mentioned a possible rematch with Pacquiao before retiring, I don't think he'll take unnecessary risk at this point.
MAB knows that he's got more than 50% chance of winning this fight.Comment

For a guy named "Rocky" he sure doesn't throw that many punches...I think Juarez should think about changing or adding a trainer, maybe Freddie Roach...Roach wouldn't let him get away with throwing that low amount of punches per round...it wouldn't hurt also to add some head movement, combinations, or more use of the jab...if he added some of the things I mentioned I would pick him by KO. His record is 25-0-18 Ko's...he could have more KO's in my opinion if he fought better...the guy has got some pop in his punches but by not throwing that many it gives his opponents more time to recover.Last edited by Abe Attell; 09-10-2006, 10:09 PM.Comment

Correction. It's 25-3-18KOs. It's hard to believe he already has 3 losses being so young and not having stepped up to the real elite competition until as of late. Losing to Barrera, Soto, and I'm counting the Zahir fight. That was such a gift with the ref. Zahir won that just based on workrate. Though all the point deductions and nonsense from the ****** ref really screwed up that fight for Zahir. I think Rocky is a good fighter though not great. He definitely has things to improve on and one he could start with would be his workrate level.Originally posted by Abe AttellHis record is 25-0-18 Ko'sComment

I finally got around to watching the first fight on my DVR. I can see where there was controversy in the decision even though I had Barerra up 8-4. There were 6 rounds in the fight that I thought could have gone either way. In 4 of them I thought that Barerra was doing a good job of landing cleaner punches and making Juarez miss, so I gave them to him. In the other 2, I thought Rocky's harder punches swung them to him.
I wasn't thinking about buying the PPV, and may still wait for the free replay, but the fight was good enough where I'm considering buying. I need to know more about the undercard first, though.
As for my pick, I have to go with Barerra. He's too good and too professional to allow this to stay inside as much as the first did. I think he will make Juarez look silly this time around.Last edited by vB Martin; 09-11-2006, 01:38 AM.Comment

I`ll take Barrera in this one the guy only has a few fights left for him and Im sure he isnt going to lose his belt now, also Juarez was talking in a press conference about being wary of Barrera`s body punching which will come into the picture in this fight.Comment

Barrara will win this fight pretty easy. He won the first fight very clearly, I don't know how people saw a draw. Barrara punches too much for Juarez to sustain a steady attack. Juarez doesn't punch enough to beat Barrara. His only chance is to knock him out with his left hook, but if he can't do that he will be outboxed again.Comment
