one reason why i didnt watch this fight is seeing pac a lil bit drained during the weight in...some fans thought that it was a good thing for barrera but i kindof saw it otherwise...coz if he comes in near 144 during fight night and with that solid chin that he has i dont think that barrera could hurt him (w/ the exception of the body of course)..but im a bit glad that he wasnt bull rushed...BTW how much did pac weigh during the fight?
Barrera is one slick and smart boxer..He fought shitty fan wise but was just doing everything right to take Manny out of a groove that he normally gets in and dominates guys with.
Really? Do the people who think that Pac won think it was so amazingly one-sided that it must be insane to think Barerra won? **** dude, I must be in bizarro world. Maybe the fact that Manny didn't totally dominate him like I thought he would slightly biased my opinion, but I'm pretty sure Barerra boxed pretty well...
MAb - I got cheated I won that fight..I headbutted him punched him after the bell I won with my left PAC = the fisrt MAB fight I just got lucky. lets move beyond boxing This is a real MAN PAC a humble man Mab is a classless trash and whoever supports him is pretty much trash themselves.
You must have been watching nother fight. I was actually impressed with MAB for the first few rounds as he was actually fighting and engaging. After that, it was all waiting to counter and hesitant to throw. The most that I would give MAB is two rounds. And yeah, Pac was rocked by that punch during that break in the 11th. I thought I saw him do some chicken dance on that corner. Had that been in the middle rounds, I believe Pac would have been a goner. The ref actually gave him good amount of time to recover from that.
Yeah, definitely, MAB is a dirty dirty fighter. I mean, ****, im not trying to be biased, maybe I'll have to rewatch the fight.
Punch stats tell differently. Pacman connected 159 power punches compared to barrera's 75. The total punch connected is lose to 1:2 ratio. It was not competitive.
That is more dominating than JMM vs. MAB fight. Punch stat wise is close to 1:2. for every one punch marco connects, Pac connects two. If that is not domination, I don't know what is. Although people might be in awe that MAB survived because many thought he would be dominated like in the first fight, but much worse.
I actually thought it was a close fight, i was a little befuddled at some of the compubox numbers, alot of pacs punches didnt seem to really land. I scored it a close decision win for pac (could have been a draw if it wasnt for the point deducion), but it was no 118-110 b.s...it was tactical fight for Barrera kind of like a Hopkins fight.
People are stupid if they thought Manny would dominate him like the first time, there was no way Barrera was going to go out on his ass like Morales did. Barrera fought a tactical fight that he could have won if he was more active.
Barrera survived because he did nothing except running... what a shame... and yahoo sports said he don't want to accept defeat...
Anyone who thinks that Barrera won this fight is blind. And this is coming from a guy who was ROOTING for Barrera. I even put 100 vcash on Barrera because i really thought he could pull the upset. Barrera fought a more timid fight than i thought possible. His output was a joke and he landed very few effective punches. And he only punched back when he was hit. His brother had to have been one of the WORST cornermen I have ever seen. It saddens me that this fight was the end of Barrera's otherwise stellar career. If Barerra had stunted Pac's offense with some offense of his own he could have taken the fight, because Pacman was NOT 100%. The Juan Manuel Marquez that fought Barerra in March OWNS the Pac that just fought Barerra. JMM W12 Pac in the rematch.
