Earlier this week, Boxingtalk's Brad Cooney conducted an e-mail interview in which world junior lightweight champion Marco Antonio Barrera said his upcoming rematch with Rocky Juarez had become "personal." A few days later, Barrera was interviewed by Felipe Leon who asked Barrera a follow-up question based on Cooney's interview, to which Barrera responded that he did not feel that way, and that he "discredited that account." While Boxingtalk has the utmost respect for Barrera and his camp, at the same time this site stands behind Brad Cooney's quote, which was made in writing by a member of Barrera's staff who was serving as a translator. Perhaps something was lost in the translation or perhaps Barrera changed his mind later, which is certainly the great champion's right. However, Cooney does have the quote saved in an e-mail from someone in Team Barrera.
