A FIGHT WORTH CHEERING, A DECISION WORTH BOOING

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (INSIDE BOXING 6/22/2002)
Wow! When I wrote my pre-fight article indicating that this fight would be a toss-up, a flip of the coin, I had no idea that it would be a coin that only had tails on both sides. Apparently these judges were not using their HEADS because there were quite a few rounds where Barrera was getting his TAIL kicked.
Although it didn't quite topple the masterpiece of a boxing performance of their 1st fight back in February of 2000, this was a very nice display of two Mexican superstars show casing their craft in front of a highly charged audience at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV. The only disappointment I walk away with is the judging that took place for this fight. Since it was not worthy of capturing the headline or bulk of this story, allow me to begin by discussing the great fight that took place.
