Reply #1: I had it 115-113 for Barrera. [View All]

Juarez fought a lot better than I thought he would. This was based on past viewings of Juarez, as I saw him as a wide-punching power puncher. I felt that style would play well for Barrera, as he has always had a good defense for wide punches. Barrera didn't show that last night. He got hit with several good shots from Juarez and was staggered in round 3. I believe that Barrera had his nose broken in round 2 from a great left hook by Juarez. Barrera looked the worse for wear at the end, but I felt that he had done enough to win. Juarez came out of this fight looking great and has possibly removed the poor performance against Humberto Soto from the minds of many.

Also, Barrera won by split-decision. Apparently, Ken Morita added up his scorecard wrong. His card was initially 114-114. After being tallied correctly, it was scored 115-114 for Barrera. Duane Ford also had to re-tally his scorecard. He initially scored the fight 115-113 for Juarez. It was later changed to 115-114 for Juarez. Once again, Duane Ford proves that he is an idiot judge.
