“Recuperate mi sitio.” [I will recover my place.] With this statement, former pound-for-pound great Marco Antonio Barrera sent word to his Filipino nemesis, world champion Manny Pacquiao, that he was not ducking a possible rematch after their encounter at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, that ended in a brutal knockout win for Pacquiao.
“I am sure that I can recover my place. I talk with Oscar de la Hoya [Barrera’s promoter] through the phone and we’ll meet in January,” the Mexican Barrera told the online edition of Mexico’s oldest and most respected sports newspaper.
“The idea is to do a fight, and subsequently to seek the big bouts. It depends on Oscar if he can help me seek revenge against the Filipino. He told me that I could count on it.”
