Barrios: "I was shocked"

[2OSouzaSuarez12]

“I was shocked with Guzman’s power,” said Barrios (46-3-1, 33 KOs). “He surprised me. I didn’t think he would come out that strong.”

Guzman can hit hard, and the more he gets use to this 130 pound diviison the better it will get. He did clearly hurt Barrios a few times I thought, especially in the 1st round. And i remember him almost dropping Barrios in the 11th I think. That wasnt the best Guzman can be, trust me the best is yet to come. Hes got skills, speed, power, good chin, he just needs to focus more on fighting than showing off and trying to look good.

Yeah he took Barrios hooks and everything and was smiling at him....while getting hit.

[{BrownBomber}]

i was very impressed with his strength and speed.

I thought it was gonna be over in the first round...

[AP6]

i thought someone would have at least went down

We all know Guzman has skills, but before this fight, I had a question about his chin because he has never really fought anyone as strong as Barrios, and he proved it last night. Guzman ate a lot of power shots from Barrios especially earlier in the fight, and he seemed unshook from Barrios' power, who is maybe the hardest punching 130 lb fighter right now.

At this point, I give Guzman a great chance against any 130 lb fighter.

it did look very close in the first round. i thought it was all over at the time

Beware super featherweight there is a new kid in town.

That goes for Pacquoi, Barrera and Morales if he wanted as well as any superfeatherwieght in the future.

Freitas may stand a chance.

I would love to see Guzman matched up against any top fighter. maybe a unification with Valero or something. Maybe a fight with Juan Manuel Marquez. The fight I really want to see right now though is Guzman vs Humberto Soto, who is moving up. That would be a great fight. I think Guzman is capable of beating any 130 pounder. Hes not going to find any rougher/stronger/bigger guys than Barrios and he has the skills to hang with the other guys. Or why not Guzman vs Bobby Pac, i would love to see him stop Bobby Pac's little winning streak he haqs going.

Barrios was drained on that fight, he look very slow and no power.
