    Copied this from fight news.


    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Ring legend Marco Antonio Barrera (65-6, 43 KOs) won by third round disqualification over emergency replacement Freudis Rojas (1-8-1) on Saturday night at the Auditorio Telmex de la UG in Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico. Rojas was DQ’d for a headbutt which left Barrera with a bad gash over his left eye. The cut could jeopardize Barrera’s scheduled March 14 clash against Amir Khan in Manchester, England. Barrera was originally slated to face John Nolasco on Saturday night, but Nolasco didn’t show up at the weigh-in, so Marco Antonio was pressed into facing Rojas, whom he knew absolutely nothing about.[/FONT]

    I didn't see the fight but barerra isn't a fraction of his former self. unless he surprises me amazingly khan will win the next fight. especially considering that barrera has a long layoff and he's been in the "business" type mode...spells disaster.

    Barrera was punishing the guy just enough to not knock him out just so that he could get some rounds in and the guy headbutted out of frustration.

    Did you miss the part where it says emergency replacement????
    However, I think they could have find someone better. But this kind of thing is what happens when you fight someone with nothing to lose.

    The fight was supposed to be against some semi decent guy but he did not show up to the weigh in.

    Barerra shouldn't be fighting this ilk of opponent but at that short notice maybe he didn't have any choice. One thing is for sure, and that is Rojas is a complete twat. I was looking forward to Barerra kicking the crap out of Amir Khan and I wanted to see the look on that boggle eyed *******'s (Warren) face when Khan was put to sleep.

    I saw the fight and Barrera was killing the guy, who was running away, then all of a sudden lunged forward with his head and opened the cut. Barrera looked deadly with his combinatins ( as he should against a guy with one win) but flabby and pudgy. The guy was on the way out of there when he got a lucky head butt in. That was the only thing landing on Marco.

    Every time Barrera threw a punch his sides jiggled. I still think he beats Khan.
