With horrific fires raging through Southern California, featherweight superstar Marco Antonio Barrera, along with all members of his training camp, was asked to evacuate Oscar De La Hoya?s Big Bear training facility Tuesday night by the Sheriff?s department as a safety precaution. No members of Team Barrera were harmed, but they were told that evacuation was necessary due to the close proximity of the fire and the possibility of smoke inhalation. ?I?d like to thank the Sheriff?s department and the emergency workers who are out there trying to keep us safe in this horrible time,? said Barrera. ?My prayers go out to the victims and all other people affected by this tragedy.? Not to be deterred from his preparation for his November 15th bout with Philippine bomber Manny Pacquaio at The Alamodome in San Antonio.
