	Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Rocky Juarez Preview
		Barrera never was able to solve the southpaw's relentless attack and after being knocked down twice the task fell to Marco's brother, Jorge Barrera to climb into the ring and mercifully bring the evening to a halt in the non-title fight.
		Barrera was able to climb off the deck, however, moment's later the lefthander trapped Barrera on the ropes and landed a flurry of heat-seeking shots.
		Barrera still was unable to solve the lanky Brooklyn-born super bantamweight and he lost to Jones again via a 12 round unanimous decision five months later in their rematch.

	MARCO ANTONIO BARRERA W12 ROCKY JUAREZ \| FightWriter
		Barrera looked a little shocked when his nose streamed blood in the second round, and when Juarez’s left hook sent the champion stumbling off balance in the third an upset looked distinctly possible.
		Barrera showed his savvy with bursts of punches and deft use of the left jab — and some of his left hooks to the body might have crumpled a lesser fighter than the 26-year-old Olympic silver medallist.
		Barrera had his biggest round in the sixth when he beat Juarez back around the ring but by the eighth the challenger was coming on strongly, with the older fighter seemingly trying to conserve stamina for the later rounds.

		Barrera: That is exactly right, in the first fight at 122 a lot of people had Erik Morales the favourite and this is what gives me the motivation, the desire to compete and to show that that Pacquiao fight was just a slip and nothing but that.
		Barrera: It's a beautiful sport and I love it and it is a sport that challenges me. I have been down before from my defeat and have been able to pick myself up and put myself into a top position in the boxing world.
		Barrera: The 130 is forming to become one of the strongest divisions, top division, I still feel that the 126 is a stronger division; as far as staying there we would have to wait until after the fight, but we are contemplating to going down to 126.

	MARCO ANTONIO BARRERA vs ROCKY JUAREZ \| FightWriter
		Marco Antonio Barrera is 32 years old and has been boxing professionally for more than 16 years.
		When Barrera defeated his bitter rival Erik Morales a year later he was the fighter we had expected to see against Pacquiao — steady, strong, sharp, skilful and really making his punches count.
		If Barrera has his mind fully concentrated and is truly ready to fight — and I see no reason why this should not be the case — I think he will simply have too much ability and ring generalship for Juarez.

	Prince Naseem Hamed Marco Antonio Barrera fight
		Perhaps even more remarkable than his own performance were the odds that Barrera had to overcome, in an extremely good natured build up it was made clear that Barrera was undertaking a rigorous weights regime in order to make the 126lb division limit, this would be his first fight as a featherweight.
		Meanwhile Barrera continued his preparation with patience and growing confidence in the high intensity atmosphere, he looked completely at home, like a man that had been forced to look inside himself before and find courage and strength he didn't know he ad……something Hamed had never been forced to do.
		Barrera had completely turned the tables on Hamed, solving Hamed's offensive approach with simple movement and supreme counter punching, he had shown himself to be a multi-dimensional fighter…….as if he wasn't dangerous enough already.

	For Marco Antonio Barrera - Too Bad Paulie Isn't PacMan \| TheSweetScience.com Boxing
		While Marco Antonio Barrera seemed to be his old self in breaking down Paulie Ayala this past Saturday, let’s not forget it was Ayala in that ring and not Manny Pacquiao.
		Barrera was on the wrong side of a beating at the hands of Manny Pacquiao, and from what we saw last Saturday a rematch would be much of the same.
		Using Barrera’s performance against Ayala as a measuring stick as to how he would fare in a Pacquiao rematch is to forget the facts.

	Marco Antonio Barrera - Mexico's Greatest Ever Fighter!
		Both men hit the canvas (only the second ever time for Barrera- the first was in a bout with Agapito Sanchez the year before) before Barrera got the job done in the twelfth and last round with a badly beaten, but incredibly courageous McKinney being rescued by the referee.
		Marco carried on in his all-out aggressive style- to the delight of the fans- until he ran into "Poison" Junior Jones.
		However Marco chooses to end his fighting days- be it a second fight with the man from the Philippines or something else- he has certainly done enough to be ranked as the finest ever fighter to come from the great country of Mexico.

		At the end of the day it was Barrera’s class that shone through, and while Peden showed plenty of heart and a cast iron beard, he lacked the varied arsenal required to trouble the ‘Baby-Faced Assassin’.
		Barrera lost a pint in the tenth for a low blow, but the result was academic.
		With Barrera’s archrival and fellow three division champion Erik Morales surprisingly losing a tune-up bout the previous weekend to unheralded Zahir Raheem at lightweight, Barrera may well decide upon a further move up in weight to challenge recently crowned IBF champion Jesus Chavez in an attempt to become Mexico’s the first ever four division champion.

	Marco Antonio Barrera Prince Naseem Hamed boxing
		Anyone who has seen the Marco Antonio Barrera-Prince Naseem Hamed fight or is familiar with my previous article covering it will be well aware of the rather bleak situation Naseem Hamed appears to be in today regarding his reputation and stature in world boxing.
		In those difficult early rounds Barrera will sense what Hamed is trying to do and may try to counter with a more aggressive approach while he is still fresh, again think of how Mayweather would use strategic clinching and smother the offensive work of Corrales.
		If Barrera can be forced into a desperate effort to win the fight by walking forward as was previously anticipated, especially when he is sufficiently weakened, Hamed's power could bring him the victory he craves.

		Marco Antonio Barrera was far too cagey to be regularly hit with right-hand-lead hooks from a fighter who outweighed him (and himself) by 13 Lbs.
		Barrera relaxed and let Morales establish distance in the middle rounds -- and still it wasn't until a desperation right-hook-lead idea that Morales was in the fight.
		Meanwhile, Barrera was able to land his left hand, with jabs and hooks and crosses, whenever he wished.
