It would be a safe bet to put your money on Marco Antonio Barrera ... not that Peden isn't a tough/game warrior, but the Mighty-Moe simply believes that Peden just doesn't have the , illusiveness, versatility, or the pressure to beat Barrera.
Let's look at Barrera's losses: Two losses to Junior Jones, who is a slick boxer that out-boxed and kept Barrera on the outside. One loss to Erik Morales, who is a terrific pressure fighter with tremendous power combined with versatility that allows him to punch from odd angles. Manny Pacquiao, who's left handed stance, blazing speed, punching power and pressure simply overwhelmed Barrera. Peden, on the other hand, can't be compared to any of these fighters.
Peden is not only a hard worker but he stays in shape, has a lot of stamina, and is also very durable. It will take a lot of punishment for Barrera to take Peden out.
Barrera doesn't have blazing handspeed, but he is one of the sports best counterpunchers. I expect Barrera to counter Peden and catch him coming in ... look for a late round stoppage by the referee or Peden's corner. There's no quitting in Peden, so the ref had better keep an eye on him.
This should be an entertaining bout, with Peden -- at times -- giving Barrera more than he can handle.
