    Why does marco Antonio Barrera have "tapia" on the back of his shorts?

  4. Ha ha I'm pretty sure you're right! Just watching mab's career set ATM and I also heard a commentator coin the phrase baby faced assassin in like his 20th fight or something like that. Think that was the first time the phrase was said in relation to him. Just can't think of the commentators name.

    Nope. He did the job eventually, so you're correct in that regard, but only because he failed to secure the services of two others.
