Barrera wins, suffers cut!Solis TKOs Meza-Clay in eliminator By Lee Bates Ring legend Marco Antonio Barrera (65-6, 43 KOs) won by third
round disqualification over emergency replacement Freudis Rojas
(1-8-1) on Saturday night at the Auditorio Telmex de la UG in
Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico. Rojas was DQ’d for a headbutt which left
Barrera with a bad gash over his left eye. The cut could jeopardize
Barrera’s scheduled March 14 clash against Amir Khan in Manchester,
England. Barrera was originally slated to face John Nolasco on
Saturday night, but Nolasco didn’t show up at the weigh-in, so Marco
Antonio was pressed into facing Rojas, whom he knew absolutely
nothing about. |
