Marco Antonio Barrera won a unanimous decision against Rocky Juarez to retain the junior lightweight title Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Two judges had it 115-113 and the third had it 117-111 for the Mexico City star. ESPN.com scored it 115-114 for Barrera.

The fight was highly anticipated but couldn't come close to matching the exhilarating battle they waged May 20 in Los Angeles.

In that fight, Barrera eked out a split-decision victory in a slugfest that was initially ruled a draw until an addition error was discovered on the scorecards. The result changed about a half hour later as both fighters sat in the dressing room.

The closeness of the fight, the action and the scorecard goof made for an obvious rematch.

However, this time around, it never erupted into a similar battle.

The crowd of 10,421 booed lustily throughout the fight, and in the 12th round, spectators began walking out of the arena in droves.
