Discuss:thumbsup
cant deny the event lp but yeah naz got a pasting .................................................but he still won the event
I remember the disgust that Manny showed during the pre-fight documentary when he realised Naz was ****ed. Then he got schooled, not beat up, but taken to school. Then all the Naz nuthuggers forever delude themselves that Naz would have beat an elite prime Barrera if only he had a better camp.
:deal I heard Nas chartered a private jet to fly his personal hair-stylist over to give him a pre-fight trim. Anyone know if its true?
had it ear-marked for a while. this isnt really a dig at Naz tho, just how a once ''very good'' british fighter had its career turned in 1 fight. He was the hot favourite and Rudy Perez must take some credit for changing Marco's style for the fight. what did u think of it:think:think
I think Barrera boxed the perfect fight. The guy was made to wait for ages to fight and when it came to fighting he fought well. He did textbook things...when you get these Naz pretenders the guys who fight then should watch the way Barrera handle the fight. He was on toes and used jab and stayed on outside of Naz. Brilliant display of pure boxing.
