    I've got Pastrano on points here against the underrated Barber. Thoughts?

    My issue with Barber is that he faulted at the highest level, and I can see Pastrano doing a dance and jab job on him.

    Clear decision for WP.

    I have Pastrano on points as well but Barber was no joke. This would be a very good fight. Such a shame about Barber's eyes. I think he was smart to retire when he did.

    Yes, a clear, one sided decision for Willie....who deserves greater study IMHO.

    Barber is a little too mechanical for this opponent. Decision bout all the way and the kind of fight where all Barber can muster is the occasional flurry or 10 second stretches of good work.

    Dance party for Willie, who sticks and moves and dazzles with his footwork to, well, walk away with the decision.
