British opinion on Pacquiao vs Barrera

It was ok viewing, far better than the Thaxton fight as Barrera is still infinitely more skilled, so far better to watch.

The result was of course inevitable, even if Barrera had won, he would have deserved no credit. The whole fight being competitive was based Pacman having lost his focus.

 

I was looking forward to a great fight but Barrera seemed content just to go the distance. Reminded me very much of Jones Tarver III.

 

I actually had it 115-114 for Barrera. Had Barrera winning 1-5,8,10.

The Brit Live broadcast missed 10-12 after waiting upp all night - bloody terrible

Rounds 5,6,7,8,11 were exciting especially 7

 

Pacman and mab was a superfight the first time round, now it's just a hype job to make money, everybody knew pacman was gonna win. It isn't really a superfight like mosley vs cotto or pbf vs hatton or any other actual superfight.

 

This difference was though, Barrera was using body movement and footwork to keep Pacman of balance, which was good to watch. Thaxton and Steward were throwing themselves off balance.

Surely is more entertaining watching two legends employ movement and skill than it is to watch two fighters (failures in comparison) inefficiently pace themselves?

I'm not a fan of fights like Pacman - Barrera IV taking place either.

 

I sometimes wish, like you I could watch a fight, become emotionally involved and genuinely care about who wins and maybe even be entertained by it all.

 

I Agree With What Your Saying About Our Boys Making The Pages Here More But I Did Enjoy The Fight Not What I Was Expecting But Still Mab Moving Well And Wondering If Pac Was Going To Land Big Time Had Me On The Edge Of My Seat. Will Be Interesting To See If Pac Changes Trainers (why Was He Taking No Notice Of Roach?) I Think Pac Looked A Bit Short On Idears Did He Think Mab Was Going To Stand And Trade All Night Where Was The Plan B ?

 

Are you a nihlist CHJ?

 

i enjoyed the fight. in fact, i enjoyed the whole card.

andrade getting the first kd of his career and coming back to grind his opponent down.

the quick slick jabbing of southpaw luevano - is this guy right handed, because he seems to have a lot of power in that jab!

 

Ftaher time has simply caught up with Marco, glad he's retired. I must admit I really enjoyed watching Barrea showcase his boxing ability, that was always going to happen, just liek he did against Juarez the second time.

Such a shame Pac wasnt around when Barrera and Morrales were in their prime. They could have had some immense wars and im sure pacman would have been training harder.

bring on Pacman V Guzman IMO. Guzman beats him too.

 

I'm not far from being a nihilist, not quite though. They have the right kind of ideas however.

 

I was dissapointed with the fight, i think Barrera could of gave more in the later rounds seeing as it was his last fight but it seemed he was just happy not to get stopped like the last time they met.
