    The reemergence of Barrera with a new-found style as a boxer. The strategy he adopted in this fight would be crucial for the years ahead.

    He lost but performed admirably.

    MAB before he attained his best...I don't hold the "L" against him.

    This fight was reasonably close but clear. Barrera never lost again until the first Morales fight, 3 years later....

    As good as Barrera turned out to be, I was more surprised as to how quickly Junior Jones disappeared. Jone looked like a million bucks vs Barrera, and average against everyone else since.

    Barrera was the next JCC before Jones made him his *****.
