Marco Antonio Barrera made an appearance at the ESPN ZONE in Los Angeles Tuesday to announce his role as a commentator on a weekly boxing program called ESPN Deportes “Golpe A Golpe” which is set to debut Friday, January 23 at 8 p.m. ET.
Marco Barrera (64-6-1, 43KOs) was then taken to the LAX Airport to fly back to Mexico to continue his training for his upcoming fight against Johnny Nolasco (17- 4, 8KOs). The fight will take place in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico on January 31, 2009. This will be the second fight for Marco Antonio Barrera with his new promotional company, Don King Promotions.
It’s been almost 17 years since Barrera fought in Mexico. On January 8, 2009 Barrera officially talked about the fight during a press conference held in Guadalajara, Mexico.
“I am excited to fight in Mexico, I really don’t know much about Nolasco but we recently received his fight videos,” Barrera stated. “I’m a bit nervous to fight in Mexico, its different fighting in your hometown, people expect a lot more from you, but I am expecting a sell out.”
The Baby Faced Assassin didn’t deny a possible fight against Nate Campbell.
“It’s a possibility that it may happen in May or June, but nothing is official. One thing is for sure I am definitely going to try to win a championship in 4 different weight divisions.”
