	On May 20, 2006 Barrera defended his WBC super featherweight title, with a narrow split decision victory over [[Rocky Juarez]] in a fight in which Barrera was pushed hard by the younger man's power and strength on the inside. The verdict was considered controversial, in part due to the closeness of the bout, and also due the fight being originally declared a draw. The decision was later awarded to Barrera when an error in the tally of the judges scores was discovered by the commission after the fight. A rematch took place on the 16th of September of the same year, which Barrera won via unanimous decision. Barrera chose to utilise a stick-and-move policy, which left Juarez neutralised on the outside, and unable to get off with the combinations that had pushed Barrera hard in their previous encounter. The result was an uninspired, but clear victory, which left many in the crowd displeased at the lack of action. The win however once again demonstrated the versatility of Barrera, which had become a trademark over the later stages of his career as opposed to the take-no-prisoners approach he was known for prior to his fight with Jesus Salud.
