When The British Boxing Superstar Naseem Hamed Was Humiliated By Barrera

On April 7, 2001, one of the biggest and best-selling fights in featherweight history took place between Mexican Marco Antonio Barrera and British star, undefeated Naseem Hamed. As a result, this fight became best-selling in this weight category, selling 310 thousand pay-per-views. The favorite in the fight was Naseem Hamed 3 to 1 in his favor. For this battle he earned a huge fee of 8.5 million dollars, Barrera received about 2 million. This was Hamed’s 5th fight in the United States. His debut was very impressive, he knocked out Kevin Kelly in the fourth round, but during these rounds, each boxer was on the canvas three times. Hamed’s record was 35 victories of which 31 were by knockout. Barrera had 52 wins and 3 losses. Although both boxers were 27 years old, it was the Mexican who was considered more worn out by tough fights and a long career, which he began at 15 years old. Hamed’s coach was the legendary Emanuel Steward, which gave him even more advantages. So most experts didn’t give the Mexican a single chance, which was strange, because Barrera was far from a whipping boy...
