Is anyone suprised Hamed Lost??? The fact that the guy retired straight after also tells me his mind was not on boxing at this stage. http://youtube.com/watch?v=_ITe-EWHNmM For any youngster....this is not how to train.. I can remember boxing journalist saying that he picked Marco over Naz .....not because Hamed was the lesser fighter....but because of Hameds preparations and that he took Barrera lightly. Hamed thought that if Jr Jones can Ko him then he didnt have a chance. It was great to see Barrera con Hamed into thinking he was going to brawl with him
Hameds brother "Barreras up there in the cold" making fun of him in the cold as if he got a mental illness instead of recognising it as a proper preparation of a world class boxer doing it right the truth came out on fight night Barrera was the best
Im not taking anything away from Barrera but I always felt that Hamed didnt bring his A game to that fight.
hamed could of trained 120percent for a year and barrera still would of whooped his ass! MAB was just the better boxer, always was always will be!
It doesnt matter how one trains..fighters do whats best for them The Great Wilfred Benitez ****s and drinks all night before a big fight..Hes a ****in legend. Soem people fight better when they are more relaxed..its a fact
He trained good enough to be mentally ready for a huge event like this and that's what matters. As far as taking Barrera lightly I seriously doubt it, he knew that Barrera is a good fighter and was hardly shocked during the fight. Barrera just proved to be the better man mentally and physically that night, Naseem should have learned from this and demanded a rematch, sadly he possibly never recovered from that loss. Still Hamed was great for the sport with the entertainment he brought and laughter, a rare fighter just like Barrera is.
