MARCO ANTONIO BARRERA & PAULIE AYALA (Site) 

Description : Here we have an original super-scarce official onsite main event boxing fight poster for the 12 round featherweight bout held at the Home Depot Center, Carson, California, USA, 19th June 2004.

Marco Antonio Barrera knocked out Paulie Ayala in the 10th round of a featherweight fight between two former champions Saturday night. In the co-feature, Little Rock's Jermain Taylor was credited with a ninth-round knockout of Raul Marquez to retain his WBC Continental Americas middleweight championship.

Just when ringside observers had begun to whisper that the Barrera of old -- the 'Baby-Faced Assassin' who took no prisoners -- was gone for good, the former champion who was brutally beaten by Manny Pacquiao last November showed fight fans that the fire is still there. He showed that he still has a wicked left hook to the body to go with his educated jab and footwork.

A left hook to the liver followed by a hook-cross combination put Ayala down midway through the eighth round. Another hook to the rib cage dropped Ayala for the second time before the round ended. Ayala fought his way back in the ninth round, but the former bantamweight champ ran into a perfectly timed counter right hand near the end of the 10th round. Ayala crumpled over in pain upon impact, just a split second before another evil left hook to the body from Barrera sent him sprawling to the canvass. Referee Pat Russell waved the bout off at 2:44 of the round.
