DID BARRERA make a good account of himself??

blind.

 

You're the man.....now get lost!

 

Im talking to you journeyman! just go on to your journey u might see and discover the difference between reality and imagination.

if u saw mab won 8-4 rnds VS PAC I should say dnt watch boxing when ur hungry.

 

which 8 rounds were these? if you can find a single soul here at ESB who will agree with you, consider it an accomplishment. but for starters, please enumerate the rounds that you think mab won

 

true. EM last two fights were losses but i think if they are both retired right now, i remember EM last hurrah more than mab's. EM went down swinging against pac and arguably was robbed of a win against a young champ at 135 in david diaz. while mab lost to jmm, a fight that could have been a lost closer if mab wasn't so hot-headed then lost to pac via wide UD with mab not wanting to exchange.

but still, i have the utmost respect for mab and what he accomplished through the years

 

I honestly could see the bout going either way.

 

i am not ashamed to speak "broken english" or whatever u call it.
at least iam not a ****** bias like u. by the way i am not american so i dnt care if my english does not pass ur criteria. I can see u r pure hater! and a dumb ass nutsucker!

Be good man,.dnt be so biased

 

8 rounds to 4 in mab's favor? are you serious?

ok, after seeing your previous post, i now understand why you can see that fight going either way. check the stats, pucnhes thrown, punches landed, aggresiveness, power shots. pac got the better in ALL aspects. how can you say that mab could have won that fight. i'd say giving him 4 rounds was already pushing it, plus the deduction which means that a 6-6 fight would still mean pac would win. so mab won 7 rounds against pac? you're dreaming. enumerate the 7 rounds that mab won in you opinion

 

pac def won that fight because barrera didnt have the speed he once had to outbox pac. but he did make pac fight his fight.

 

I think Pacquiao was content with playing Barrera's game. I think he wanted to show he could outbox Barrera. And for the most part he did. He didn't open up until the later rounds, and when he did he truly ****ed Barrera up, to which Barrera responded with the hit on the break.

 

Had Pac attacked as he normally does, it would have given MAB a better chance in his counter attack mode.

Pac actually fought a very smart fight, knowing that he was faster and quicker to get his shots off from distance, and could beat MAB to the punch fighting at distance.
A fighter who is constantly on the attack, leaves himself wide open to get countered and hit more often.

If Pac fights JMM next, its going to be interesting to see if he uses the same approach vs Marquez.
MAB throws a good jab moving away and countering from distance, but JMM is alot better than MAB in using his legs to manuever himself around the ring to set up the right angles to which to throw the shots he wants to get off.
Marquez has a wider repertoire of punches as well in which Pac will have more than a half ass jab to contend with.

Did you guys see Pac jump up and down and pound his gloves in joy when MAB attacked him to the ropes in one of those earlier rounds???
.....since PAC did'nt attack MAB with abandon, MAB needed to have bursts like that to make PAC go into attack mode......once PAC was in attack mode, then MAB would have had a more aggressive Pac attacking and setting up more opportunities for himself off the counter.

JMM already played that game with MAB, since MAB was'nt in attack mode vs him, Marquez attacked MAB and forced him to respond in kind.
.....sometimes a counterpuncher has to attack to force the other to lose his head and do the same, thus getting him to fight the way he'd like for him too.

I can only shake my head in disbelief that there are actual fans in this forum who thought the Pac-MAB rematch was close!:-(

 

Agreed.

edit: Also, the commentating was so biased against Pacquiao earlier on, it was annoying. Pacquiao's choice to box was viewed as him being controlled.

 

what is up with the fools on this thread? one claims that mab won 8 rounds to 4 and the other claimed that it could have gone either way (not that Mab needs 7 rounds for it to go his way because of the deduction) but then when i ask them to enumerate the rounds that Mab won, they dissapear. damnit. i hate people who can't back their statements up.

how did you score that fight DIVAC? i think the 118-109 scores were spot on. i gave mab the 2nd and 3rd rounds. thought there were 2 close rounds that could have gone MAb's way, still, giving him four rounds was the absolute maximum

 

you really can't expect that dude from saved by the bell to be fair. he is hispanic and favors fellow hispanic fighters. up until the interview he was asking mab if he was shocked by the wide margin for pac but even mab thought the scores were acceptable and that lasting 12 rounds was already an accomplishment.

he was also asking pac why he was doing the sign of the cross and banging his gloves so often. what the hell does that have to do with anything?

 

I thought it was a wash. And I enjoyed the hell out of the fight because it was so interesting to see Pacquiao box.

My uncles didn't though. Shut the **** up, tito.

edit: I was talking about the HBO Commentators. Merchant's card for the first 5 rounds was ridiculous, and they were so content to say that barrera is fighting the right fight, but he lacked the physical attributes to pull it off.
