  • Juarez Already Missed His Chance

    Everybody asks me, and I tell them that Rocky Juarez doesn’t have much of a chance this weekend at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas when he takes on Marco Antonio Barrera for the second time. Juarez’ best chance for a victory against Barrera was back in May in Los Angeles when the California State Athletic Commission was adding up the scorecards.

    In that fight, Barrera was the overwhelming consensus choice and he may have taken Juarez lightly. The fight was initially declared a draw and then later changed to a split-decision victory for Barrera when a scorecard error was discovered. The second time around, Juarez is not going to be the lucky benefactor of facing a Barrera that is less than his best or having a commission that is arithmetically challenged.

    Barrera, “The Baby Faced Assassin”, with a hall of fame career record of 62-4 (42)KO, 1NC turned pro at the pubescent age of 15 in a dusty Mexico ring. From all accounts, Barrera has trained like a man possessed and says he is going to show up in much better mental and physical condition for this fight. Barrera had this to say last week during a press tour: “I feel I have to take the fight to take away any doubts about the first fight. I have no choice but to fight hard and I’m not going to leave any doubts. I’m facing a young hungry fighter, but I’m going to go in and win. I haven’t felt this way in years.” [details]

    On impulse, I wanted to disagree, but then, started thinking about Rocky's notorious tendency to become over-cautious and/or to start late...

      yeah i can agree to a certain extent. i know this is cliche' but it is truely going to come down to who wants it more? both guys need this fight in a bad way. barrera to cement his legacy as well as set up the massive final bout. and juarez to rise to the level of major player in his division and to help set the rest of his career.....

      i'm going with juarez, barrera is set already, juarez has his future on the line to a certain degree.

      barrera is going to improve but it think that juarez is going to too, at least i hope he does for his sake............

      i think this bout will be in juarez's favor and that they will look to a 3rd fight, and that might be barrera's last, to finish on a trilogy with barrera winning his last bout. if juarez beats barrera once that's all he needs for his career to be in good standing with the public and pretty much true boxing fans. but who knows, i'm just thinking about how they go about things in boxing, plus you know GBP is trying to nab up Juarez, he's a hot commodity in boxing and will be for some time, provided that he stays on top of things.

        Good post, deuce.

        I agree, I think Rocky wins this fight with a late stoppage. Barrera will definitely want a third fight but Rocky and Main Events may want to take on Pacman if possible in early to mid 2007.

          i seriosuly think this fight wont be too close to call, barrera is gonna beat juarez....possibly even get a late KO, barrera is training like a man possessed and hes gonna leave no doubt in this fight, juarez's best chance at beating barrera was in their last fight in may, there is no way barrera can not imporve on that performance. juarez is going down
