Legendary Mexican Marco Antonio Barrera vows to show everybody what he is really capable of in the ring when he meets Filipino ring idol Manny Pacquiao in a rematch on at the Mandalay Bay Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on October 6.

Barrera who was demolished in eleven rounds by Pacquiao in their first clash at the Alamadome in San Antonio, Texas in November 2003 claimed he was distracted because of forest fires that forced him to move his training camp in Los Angeles and medical tests he had to undergo following claims he had a metal plate inserted to protect his brain several years before.

According to Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, Barrera told him “I am going to show everybody now. The time I was distracted and had issues and so on but this time I know what to do to win.”

The Pacquiao-Barrera rematch was sealed after a settlement was reached between Golden Boy Promotions and Bob Arum of Top Rank following mediation talks presided over by retired Superior Court judge Daniel Weinstein whose efforts won praise from both Schaefer and Arum.

war barrera!

Barrera's gonna get smoked.

Hope Barrera kicks his ass.

I'm pulling for Barrera, but I think Pac will be way too much for him to handle just like the first time. In recent fights Barrera (at least in my eyes) seems to be slowing and nearing the end of his career while Pac seems to be hitting his ferocious peak. Heart goes with Barrera, brain says that Pac is going to tear him to shreds.

i like barrera but, pacman should win this...

Unless Barerra has found some magic new abilities this will go even worse than the last time when Pacman blew him out.

war barrera!

:yes:

it will most likely look like an old tyson fight with Barrera being the other guy

I tend to agree with you there but you gotta wonder what kind of personal shit he was going through during that fight ya know? I mean As much as I disliked barrera during the Morales fights, I still respect him and hope he can put on a hell of a fight. I'm still pulling for him in this fight and hope he can be the one to take manny down.

My thoughts exactly.
I just hope MAB doesnt get beat up too badly like the 1st fight.

War Pac!!!

I like both guys to much to care who wins, I just hope its a war and not like Pacman/Morales III

I don't want Barrera to win, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Pac/Valero showdown, that has "Fight of the Decade" written all over it.
