    Crazy good wins. Especially the rematch. Got robbed of a KTFO in the first fight though.

    It was a great win,and I'm a big MAB fan.The rematch cemented it and even though I'd like to think the later Barrera reverses it,you can't grumble after two bites at the cherry.

    I don't agree with those saying MAB was in his prime. Physically he may have been prime but mentally he wasn't. in there first fight he was still a face first brawler. those losses turned him into a better fighter because he learned to become a boxer puncher rather than a brawler.

    That being said, still great wins. Beating that version of barrera is still extremely impressive.

    He gets all the credit in the world for beating one of the best versions of MAB.
