Crusader Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Another great fighter that he had better to stop, I can not understand why they have to close his career in this way, could it be better to leave them intelligently ? Barrera and many like him would make a better contribution to boxing... trainer, matchmaker, talent-scout, ecc..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skav Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 He's one of my boxing heroes, so it's difficult for me to still see him carrying on. There's not much to say that isn't obvious, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donlevy Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Barrera actually looked pretty good in his last fight,I was surprised at just how sharp and accurate he was.You'd never have guessed that he was coming off of a pretty long layoff.
