Great nickname 🥊

[@GayleFalkenthal]

It cracks me up. He’s not the first one though. Mexican super bantamweight Moises Flores was also nicknamed Chucky. His fans would bring Chucky dolls to his fights and wave them around. Flores retired last year so now Barrera owns it.

@@GayleFalkenthal Lol oh ya. He got some serious damage done in his last fight. Tough way to make a living 🥊even for a Chucky.
