LOS ANGELES — Former featherweight king Marco Antonio Barrera overwhelmed, outfought and knocked out Paulie Ayala in the 10th round and immediately issued a rematch challenge to the man who took his crown away—Manny Pacquiao—and soon.
Barrera, who brought back throngs of wildly-cheering Mexican fight fans at the Home Depot Center in the City of Carson here, showed no signs of wear and tear from the November loss he suffered at the hands of the Filipino as his left jab connected all night.
