no but only a pt deduction from barrera from a butt in the 11. pretty impressed w/barrera and his will but pac lacked the killer instinct that made him so great.

Someone needs to start a Barrera appreciation thread. Its over, it was great times with MAB.

Out of topic but the ESB homepage posted Pac beats Morales. It should be MAB.

what kind of warrior are you talking about? he wasn't there to fight but to stay alive.

he had his moments. yeah he didnt engaged, but being smart as he is, he needs to stay away from those bombs. i just respect the guy whom i bad mouthed to get blown away. i was wrong .

[saul_ir34]

He didnt get knocked out and that was a victory on its own. the other one was that he exposed PAC in my mind. i always saw him as being unbeatable but this fight showed the opposite. I actaully saw him get hurt a few times. a strong boxer/puncher will defeat him. Marquez, Soto, or if he choses to go up JUAN DIAZ anyways after tonight i say his days are numbered.

[Tom_Tocca]

Not tonite buddy!!!! Tonite he looked like a guy who was just trying to survive out there......

damn right...he just came to cash in - as a Mexican he should have tried to win by going toe to toe - very lame bout...

[bandeedo]

why does everyone sound so shocked that barrera fought this way. didnt he just do this with rocky juarez.

[reevee69]

barerra went out like a bitch. he didn't do anything, but circle around. Pacquiao was pressing the fight. Barerra showed no class. At least Morales went out swinging while Barerra went out like a wuss. A bad way to end such a career.

Obviously you don't know boxing.

According to Pacman, Barrera hits the hardest among his opponents. That's maybe the reason why he isn't pressing too much. Either that or Roach told Pac not to press too much. Of course, Barrera is also moving away, too much.

[koko of phil]

Barrera deserves the respect he needs in this fight cos he proves us wrong that it would be a walk in the park fight for Manny, but surprises us instead by performing contrary to the first meeting or should we say opposite to what we are expecting. Still a great warrior! Well done, Marco! :good

[Amsterdam]

You just earned respect for a cemented legendary fighter and warrior who nearly always gave it all each time, goddamnit?

Ugh, I see why Pac-maniacs are so despised. Go away.

Well, Pac did beat Morales too so it ain't exactly wrong unless yesterday's date is attached to it.

BTW, nice avatar.

[Chert]

yep. he did stay in there and was not blown away like many expected. but that dirty punch on the 11th did remove some sparkle away from it.

[gutto]

I don't know what fight some of you saw, Barrera boxed beautifully for the majority of the fight, and showed why he is considered such a great boxer. He also proved his toughness by mixing it up plenty when he had to and gave as good as he got. He had PAC fighting at his pace most of the fight and frustrated him with his boxing and movement, and made him miss alot. It was just not being able to close the show in the last few rounds as Pacquaio came on strong which let him down, but it was always gonna be tough for him at 33 to win the championship rounds against the younger, faster, stronger Pacquiao who has great stamina.

Those who call MAB a bitch are fucking idiots. Yeah right, Morales who fought as stupid a fight as you could with PAC and got blown away put up a better fight. Like I said, idiots. Fuck it's not like MAB did an RJJ vs Tarver. I watched the fight with my brother who loves Morales and thus hates Barrera and wanted PAC to knock him out, and even he commented what a warrior Barrera was by fighting back from PAC's onslaughts. Why didn't PAC go all out for the knockout if Barrera was such a pussy? Barrera definately got his respect. People are forgetting he was expected to get KTFO again. He deserves nothing but respect for his performance.

:gooddamm right

Hes not a bitch at all

ok hes 0-2 against PAC. Pacs better than him we know that.

Prime or no prime hes styles all wrong for PAC because he couldnt handle the speed.

But what people dont get about MAB is hes got no class. When he almost got Knock down in the 11th.., what did he do? he clocked PAC after the break. This man has no class, never ever giving anyone credit from losing to JMM and PAC.

And i'm surprised about alot of people here, the same people who kills Floyd for being trash. Floyd is much classier than MAB. Floyd doesnt bring his dirty tactics into the ring. He talks alot of trash but its mostly for show.

And for all these guys that says what a fighter, yes he was a great fighter without alot of class. Take your loss like a man.

I'll never forget when PAC said he got lucky in his first fight with MAB showing him proper respect. MAB couldnt bring the same to anyone. No class trash. And people will freakin defend it.

Well thats why its poetic justice, he'll die knowing he lost twice to PAC and never even came close
