Barrera-Juarez Press Conference

On May 20th, the legendary Marco Antonio Barrera will defend his WBC and IBF junior lightweight title against the mighty powerhouse of Rocky Juarez on HBO’s World Championship Boxing. Boxingtalk was on hand at the press conference Wednesday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles with the best seat in the house to hear what these participants and others had to say. Darren Nichols spoke with both Barrera and Juarez in LA on Wednesday to get their thoughts of this exciting battle, what advantage they have against each other, how much their professional and amateur experience will play a role in their fight, and why they decided to take each other on at this point in their careers. Plus “Sugar” Shane Mosley had plenty to say about the May 20th battle as well as last weekend’s fight with Mayweather and Judah and his upcoming return bout against Fernando Vargas. You don't want to miss it.
