DERRICK "SMOKE" GAINER EYES MARCO ANTONIO BARRERA

29.01 - Derrick "Smoke" Gainer would like to step into the ring against Marco Antonio Barrera. DiBella Entertainment's WBA featherweight champion believes that is the fight the public wants, is ready to rumble, and sees no deal-breaking obstacles.

Barrera has an April 12 pay-per-view date on the calendar, and Gainer figures: "why wait?"

"We are the two best featherweights in the world, so let's give the people what they want to see," said Gainer from his Pensacola, FL headquarters.

"I have never known Barrera to turn down a challenge, so I know he will want the fight."

Said Lou DiBella, DBE president, and Gainer's advisor: "Smoke Gainer deserves an opportunity to fight the great Marco Antonio Barrera. To be the best, you have to beat the best, and Barrera is now the best. Smoke and DBE will take any reasonable deal to make this fight a reality. We will not argue over rematch clauses or turn down a good faith offer. We urge Marco, Ricardo Maldonado and Forum Boxing to give this fight some real consideration. The best should fight the best."
