I had the fight a draw which is all either fighter deserved. I scored two rounds even, the 5th and the 11th which is where I suspect my scorecard was different than the judges who had it 115-113 for the fearful Barrera. Juarez said it best after the fight when he said Barrera came to box and not to fight which is OK if you look good doing it. Unlike the fawning Lampley, I don't think Barrea looked good or masterful. The fans that booed thoughout felt the same I believe.

Juarez did not cut off the ring which was his major downfall. He was in terrific shape as was Barrera and both fighters had plenty of handspeed. This could have been a great fight however Barrera chose to win this time and look good next time and Juarez did not have the solution to Barrera the track star.

Pacquiao will beat Barrera in a rematch Barrera knows it. Although Barrera still believes in his boxing skills he no longer trusts his chin. Unlike Juarez, Pacquiao will figure out a way to test it even if Barrera doesn't cooperate.
