What were your thoughts/predictions going into Barrera vs Hamed fight?

if Hamad had not broken his right hand and ballooned up to 185lbs Barrera was nothing other than a 3 round knock out.

Thought Hamed would run away with it.

 

I chose Mab. The signs were there in Naz's previous fights that he was very beatable.

 

What about the much, much bigger signs that Barrera was beatable?

 

I was concerned that Hamed had stopped training properly and just wanted to knock everything out also his brothers had started managing him and he had started all that religion nonsense not good .a terrible waste of a real talent.

 

I thought Barrera would win and fervently hoped he would.I can't stand that bat -eared little pr*ck. I won £25 on the fight but would have cheerfully paid it to see him beat!

 

I thought Hamed was going to knock him out. Was gutted when it didn't happen. I DKSAB back then was just a fan boy, casual fan, didn't really understand the sweet science, couldn't believe Barrera won.

Made me a fan of Barrera though, especially after his fights with Morales. But then Pac came along and wiped the floor with him and I was in disbelief again.

 

I'm about 50 50 in picks, but I knew MAB would win this one. I remember thinking Hamed was finally stepping up in class.

 

Bigger word than it looks if.....

 

Same here except I thought Hamed would win. Never disliked a fighter as much but felt he was brilliant. Sweet Pea with power.

 

I liked Hamed. Thought he was a great personality, a real entertainer. A great puncher, produce more exciting fights that most fighters.

I thought he'd beat Barrera.

 

I thought Naz was gonna destroy him.

He got pretty much knocked out by Junior Jones and I felt Naz had the speed and power to knock out anyone around.

I didn't see him losing any time soon.

 

I thought Naz would lose, he was scared of MAB, you could see it in his eyes.

 

I felt Barrera would beat him; I knew he would box him and figured he would stop him. Barrera was a smart boxer before he went through that phase where he went to war in every fight.
