Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez faced off in an extremely competitive battle that was not accurately represented by the large margins in scores which favored Marquez. The tactical battle was back and forth throughout the entire contest. Barrera started out fast, while Marquez started controlling the action over rounds three through five. Marquez hurt Barrera with a hard right hand in round 7, but Marquez was dropped shortly afterwards due to a picture-perfect counter right hand. Jay Nady, who hesitated, did not immediately step in to rule on what was seemingly a knockdown. During Nady's hesitation, Barrera struck Marquez on the head while Marquez was on all fours. As a result, the knockdown was not counted, and Barrera was penalized a point. This likely led to a 10-8 round in the 7th, in favor of Marquez.

As the fight came to a close, the same competitive back and forth action continued which made fans believe that the fight itself would be extremely close on the official scorecards. Much to most viewers' dismay, the scorecards were incredibly wide for Marquez, and the missed call by Jay Nady did not make a difference in the fight's decision | judge: Patricia Morse Jarman 111-116 | judge: Paul Smith 111-116 | judge: Doug Tucker 109-118
