    Two exciting lower weight fighters, top class entertainment.
    For the world Featherweight title.
    My money's on Jeff but my hearts with Barry. Who wins?

    I think McGuigan is dismissed a bit too rwadily here at times, but agree that Fenech is just a level above. Fenech was a mauler for sure, but he did so intelligently, shifting angles, bobbing and weaving, altering his attack with incredibly diverse punch selection and placement while staying right in your face the whole time. I can't think of a way a guy like Barry keeps him away.

    Not sure I like thought of Barry getting stopped. I'm gonna say he puts up a spirited fight but loses by a clear decision... But Barry does hurt him in the early going.

    Nope. McGuigan at his best crushes the Terrors body and stops him. Little Red and Uno Flaco Explosivo stop him. So does Chacon and Pedroza

    Fenech grinds him down and stops him late.

    I pick Jeff since he was a guy who won titles and was exceptional. But Barry was better than he is now rated. The Stevie Cruz fight hurt him. Too bad he couldn't have come back and had a successful comeback. Stopped Cruz and beat Nelson, which would have been hard to do.
