Barrera has the resume and longevity on his side, Zarate the dominance and imo maybe an edge in ability too. I'd be inclined to say Zarate is...
Undecided on this one. Jeff was pretty monstrous, even at 126, but Pedroza could really get nasty when physically challenged and lay out an ass...

Edwin Rosario vs. Hector Camacho: 115-112 Rosario Camacho: 1,2,6,9 and 10. Rosario: 3,4,5 ( 10-8 ) ,7,8,11 and 12. :good

Pernell Whitaker vs. Oscar de la Hoya: Whitaker 114-113 De la Hoya: 2,3 ( 10-8 ) 4,8 and 12. Whitaker: 1,5,6,9 ( 10-8 ) ,10 and 11. Round 7...
Rounds 1 and 6 were probably the rounds most gave to Eubank which gave them close cards, but yeah, it's pretty hard to mount a justification for...
