DID BARRERA make a good account of himself??

Barerra won the sixth round. Rounds 4 and 12 might have been even.

Pac won the rest.

 

pac won this fight. most rounds were very close but pacs aggressiveness won him more of those close rounds. marco fought a very competitive fight against one of the top p4p fighters in the sport after 19 years of boxing, so yes he did make a great showing of himself.

 

MAB had big chance to KO PAC today, he managed to not do this.
He was too static, just jabbing and coutering from time to time.
PAc was wobbed a few times and it was obvious if MAB come with some
serious exchanges then sooner or later he would knock him down or out.
MAB should retire with one or two easier fights, he do not longer have it ...

 

Yes he did. He came in well prepared but it's just not enough to win the fight. MAB boxed and countered well, reason why the fight lasted the full route, but he was out gunned and outhit 4 to 1 in punches.

 

I didn't see MAB box so much. How can he win? Pac was the aggressor from the opening bell until the closing. Pac did get stunned in the 11th round. Though it came after the referee was separating them. Now that's a dirty fighter.

 

MAB boxed beautifully considering his age - his reflexes, speed and movement were top notch and his tactics were spot on. We all knew that he'd probably get KO'ed if he went to war with PAC so he made the right decision to box.

MAB fought the right fight, and he made it difficult for PAC to get in to the groove. This was about the best that MAB could do at this stage of his career - not bad against the consensus #2 P4P fighter in the world. He added to his legacy with this performance. If he was younger and fresher and able to throw more punches, he may have pulled it off.

I'm surprised by all the hate!

 

You shoud'nt be people on the meesage broads Are like that.

 

but he clearly lost is my point you dont get extra points for just hanging in there and not getting brutalized.

 

I agree..had barerra by a point

 

i thought barrera shaded a couple of the early rds.

deffo won one of the middle rds and maybe shaded or drew another one.

barrera won 3 or 4 rds i thought.

only giving him 2 rds was a bit harsh i felt. :roll:

 

yeah yeah whatever.

there were some debateable rds in there.

ffs i agree pac won the fight quite wide.

just not frigging 10 rds to 2. atsch

 

he was clearly up against the better fighter, but did well to last as long as he did and from time to time fired off some beautiful shots but it just wasn't enough against Pac

 

No he did not. Based on that last "performance" I can't exactly say my heart is broken now that he has retired.

 

His performance in itself wasn't terribly impressive, but the fact that he lasted the distance was. Certainly not the type of performance Marco wanted to end his career with.

 

For a fighter his caliber, no.

But in terms of surviving the onslaught of Pac, he did very well.
