Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao Vs Marco Antonio “Baby Faced Assassin” Barrera
Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao Vs Marco Antonio “Baby Faced Assassin” Barrera
This fight should be straight fireworks while it lasts. And how could you not like either fighter? Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao is a classic rags to riches story in the purest sense. Pacquiao went from selling cigarettes as a youth on the mean streets on Manilla to being the most influential individual in the Philippines, period. Now thats G.
Barrera is the ultimate warrior never backing down from a fight. Sharp as an icicle.
Pretty much everyone and their real estate agent is picking Pacquiao to win this fight in under 9 rounds. But keep in your dome, Barrera still does have a chance. It should be straight war all the way and in a war, fighters of Barrera’s quality always have a shot. And I think Barrera has more than a shot at an upset. Especially if Barrera can put together a master game plan. Anyone remember Prince Nassem Hamed?

As much as I would like to see Barrera win and set up a rubber match (which would be the best for Boxing), my gut tells me Pacquiao will send Barrera to an early post-fight cocktail. Win or lose, Barrera should enjoy it, he deserves it. (When I was a youth, and boxed Golden Gloves, I always used to have a post fight cocktail. Hell, who is fooling whom? I used to have cocktails before fights and still win…)
Either way, you don’t want to miss this one.
The Rest is Up to You……
Interesting side note:
In regards to Pacquiao vs Barrera, Bob Arum stated: “It is a very serious mistake to think that because Manny knocked Barrera out in 2003, he’s going to do it again.”
Arum added: “The circumstances are totally different. I think Manny will win, but not because he won in 2003, but because he’s really improved tremendously since then. (Trainer) Freddie Roach has done a great job with him”

It is obvious i believe that Manny Pacquiao is at present the top pound per pound in boxing! Many of us usually catch a glimpse of him around General Santos just before when he still was not famous, however what worries many people is definitely his affiliations with this political figures. Boxing wise Manny may be the very best without doubt however with regards to picking out friends he has been substandard. Manny is too nice and absurdly trusting, we all saw Manny taking lavish stuff to all of his staff that appeared to possibly be simply using him for his dollars.
