There’s something that just doesn’t seem right about fighting after having brain surgery. Not in a sport where your opponent gets paid to hit you in the head.
Somewhere, you would think, doctors would be screaming. Somewhere, surely, there has to be outrage.
Not in Texas, where Marco Antonio Barrera goes into the ring Saturday night with a metal plate in his head. There, doctors have given him a clean bill of health and their encouragement to go out and trade punches with Manny Pacquiao at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
