12 rounds in a Featherweight contest.

Pretty tough to decide from my corner. Thoughts?

MAB too good allround for Fenech, IMO. Fenech may at many points be outworking/out-throwing Barrera, but the quality shots are 80% coming from Barrera rather than the biscuit-fisted Fenech.

8-4 type win, IMO

On his very best night I think Fenech wins, and I'm thinking of the Fenech that beat Nelson, tho it was givin a draw. Btw Fenech is prolly the best boxer ever from Australia.

He most certainly was not, Gambler.

Well maybe ur thinking of Jackson.. I dunno.. But In my book Fenech was at least 1 of the best.

He most certainly was that. Jackson wasn't on my mind, either.

Barrera too tough mentally or Fenech

At FW, I rate these two very evenly. If pressed, I'd have to say Barrera by close decision.

Lionel Rose was better than Jeff Fenech. Johnny Famechon was better than Jeff Fenech.

Fenech terrorised those lighter divisions. Often overlooked these days in best fighters of the 1980s.

Can't imagine MAB keeping him off but if any boxer could then he has a great chance. Perhaps MAB has a bettre chance of doing so at 126.

barrera wide on points

Barrera by 115-113 UD win.

Barrera by either a late stoppage or a wide points victory.
