The ex champion Marco Antonio Barrera must avoid fists into his face for the next eight months according to his doctor after the fight that he suffered to his hairline in his last fight in England against Amir Khan. By any calculations, Barrera will not be able to fight until the end of the year or early 2010 per is doctor’s instructions, it was confirmed by his brother and manager Jorge Barrera to the Mexican newspaper Diario de Mexico.
A plastic surgeon attended to the large cut suffered by a accidental head butt suffered by Barrera early in his bout with the up and coming English man which needed 30 stitches to close.
In a couple of months, Barrera will be able to work out in a gym and begin roadwork but for eight months, beginning last month, Barrera can not even spar.
Barrera who lost a technical decision after five rounds still believes that Khan should of been disqualified after what he believes the intentional head clash.
