    Smith seems to be folding mentally. Hopefully he doesn't give up.

    Barrera seems to be getting a bit tired now. I have a feeling he'll open a little more down the stretch. Barrera still of course boxing great and Smith getting worn down. Good comments by the HBO team.

    That's not a good look, dragging a Dr to the corner, I think this is over, the referee will jump in if SB can string a solid combination together.

    The fight has slowed down and now it's a boxing match Smith can't win a like that with Barrera

    Dude fought with a broken jaw. Don't think he is giving up. He may get his lights put out but I don't think he will quit.

    Roy is overstating the first round knockdown. I didn't think Barrera was all that hurt.

    His jab is too slow and he's using it more as a range finder. I actually think his jab is hurting him. He needs to fight Barrera like Maidana did Floyd. Push him to the ropes hit him on the back of the head and low. But I don't think he has the stamina for it. He looks tired.

    Except for that knockdown this has been a shutout and a clinic put on by Barrera, he even ran away with the first round until the KD won the round for Smith.
