Different sizes, same missionhome/Sports/Sports Columns/Different sizes, same missionFrom a physical standpoint, Filipino Mark Anthony Barriga and Briton Tyson Fury are poles apart. For all their differences, Barriga and Fury figure to have the same mission order as they appear in the same card on December 2 (Manila time) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. British heavyweights have a dismal record when it comes to trying to win the heavyweight crown in the United States. If Barriga prevails over Licona, he will actually become the first Filipino ex-Olympian to become world boxing champion. They offer a style built on pure boxing, one that gives emphasis on the “sweet science” aspect of the sport.
