Description : Here we have an original HBO boxing closed circuit poster for the April 17th 1997 rematch........ On November 22, 1996, Marco Antonio Barrera suffered his first career loss and lost his title to American boxer Junior Jones, by a disqualification in round five. Barrera was knocked down in Round 5 by Jones, and was declared the loser by disqualification and not by knockout because Barrera's cornerman climbed onto the ring to stop the fight as Jones was finishing Barrera.......On April 18, 1997, he was given a chance to regain his title, facing Jones in a rematch in Las Vegas. Barrera was defeated by a unanimous decision that pro-Barrera boxing fans thought was controversial. Even great champions have their Nemesis, just as Muhammad Ali had his Ken Norton, Barrera had his Junior Jones.
These HBO & Showtime PPV posters are not made available for public consumption & can only be sourced from a participating PPV outlet hence the scarcity as once the televised event if over, then these posters go straight to skip.
