    I love that video.. one of my favorites on youtube. One thing that people often don't point out about Barrera is how insanely accurate he was, all the way from his young days to his recent fights. His jab was was thrown with pinpoint accuracy and his punches in general were so precise, no matter where he was throwing them from. The Barrera left hook is a thing of beauty.. it looks perfect when he throws it.

    Barrera is pretty much everything I love about boxing mixed into one fighter. I wish I could have been a hardcore fan of the sport for a longer time to truly appreciate his career as he was going through all the ups and downs. A few weeks ago I rewatched the McKinney fight for the 423423 time and it made me miss him real bad again.

    I'm not much of a fan of Vince Phillips.. what's so great about him other than the Tszyu upset?

    Yeah, but I don't like talking about it. That was one of the fights that broke my heart.
