Barrera is my All time Fav fighter but i always wondered what fueled the anger he seemed to carry into hes fights. From What iv herd he came from fairly secure middle class family and put Hes studies to become a lawyer on hold to box. I wish i could find out more
I'm sure there's always something a person can use as fuel, no matter if a person grew up poor, middle-class, rich, etc... Maybe it's someone telling him he's no good, a girl turning him down, doubters, insecurity, something someone said when he was 10, etc..
I think he was just born to be a fighter, combined with the fact that he has that mexican hardness (*10). I think its just the way he was made. Some people run away from adversity in the ring, but he fights back. His combination of skill and aggression is great, but why did he have to destroy my childhood hero naz lol.
well apparently he was just a shy silent little kid that once he got into the ring his attitude and personality completely changes i have that sort of thing i am very different in the ring than out of it in the ring i feel confident and more awake than i do outside the ring and that genuine comptetiveness just builds up
I've thought about this too. Barrera had more than competitiveness. The anger/rage he would fight with sometimes was palpable like he had some demons in his past he was letting out in the ring.
The Morales family dog attack him as a boy, bite him on bad place. Explain more than might think, yes, no? Mexican dog frenetic! Yappa yap! No wonder! Its rage contagion to Barrera through bite like werewolf haha!
why didn't he use this temper against Pacquiao in the second fight ?? Ughh thats tha only bad thing I can knock him for
