Both Marco Antonio Barrera and Manny Pacquiao have shifted their training to high gear as they prepare for their rematch this coming October 6.
Barrera, who was reported to have started training four weeks ago, has planned a total of 100 rounds of sparring as he prepares to avenge an 11th round knockout loss to Pacquiao in San Antonio, Texas in November of 2003.
Meanwhile, Pacquiao stayed in shape by playing basketball and watching his diet. He started his serious training only two weeks ago and plans to spar at least 130 rounds.
Now, who do you pick to win the rematch? Pacquiao or Barrera?

Hello erickrubio. It was already announced yesterday and still our people's champ Manny Pacquiao won the fight. I am so proud with Manny Pacquiao because he sacrifices a lot for the sake of winning the game and for the honor of our country. I do not like the attitude of Marco Antonio Barrera. He is quite arrogant during the interview by one of the news reporters. He said that he will be the one to win the fight, while Manny is very down to earth and humble, saying that he will not be confident enough to himself to fight Barrera because he knows that Barrera is also a very competitive fighter. Luckily, with a 12-round fight, it was announced yesterday that Manny Pacquiao won via unanimous decision.
Have a nice day and God speed!

As a Filipina, I definitely pick Manny Pacquiao to win against Marco Antonio Barrera in their upcoming rematch in October. Both fighters have started their training in this fight. It will definitely a great boxing match to watch especially that Barrera will definitely try to avenge his defeat. It is going to be a brawl! Definitely a must-see after the pay-per-view event "The World awaits" of De la hoya and Mayweather. I hope that no matter how many intrigues Manny Pacquiao is into these days, i hope he still can concentrate on his training and maybe in the actual fight.. out box Barrea and win against the Mexican again.
A knock out would be great but a win is definitely better. Mabuhay Philippines!

It will be Manny Pacquiao, just like their first fight. Manny is in perfect fit and he is still in the peak of his career. Unlike Barrera he is now on his way on retiring from boxing, he even lost to Juan Manuel Marquez. I will place a big bet on Manny Pacquiao on their upcoming fight on October.
