    Post all insults, jokes, hollering, screaming, and flaming here.


    Some thoughts on the fight:

    MAB did look older than ever before, but PAC won just by throwing more punches. MAB was way too tentative and this alone really cost him the fight.

    MAB clearly had PAC confused and bewildered at times, but could not put his foot on the gas, while PAC just kept throwing no matter what.

    MAB is done, and all credit to PAC for the win, however PAC looked quite ordinary last night. Yes MAB was very defensive, but even when he hit MAB clean, MAB seemed mostly unfazed.

    Pac's footwork and balance also need alot of work. Maybe the hectic camp had something to do with this, but He seemed to be kinda rusty and almost complacent at times. But MAB was much moreso, so there you have it.

    Anyway, congrats to PAC, and Goodnight to MAB.

    complacent...he fought MAB's gameplan and still won.

    I think this fight shows that Pac is more patient as a 'boxer' compared to his fight in JMM-Pac 1?

    Now what's this nonsense that Pac will get his @ss handed to him if he fights Guzman or JMM? Those guys would win by outboxing him and winning by decision. There's a difference between getting outboxed and getting your
    'ass beat'.

    I think his footwork and balance was due to MAB's constant running.

    No. MAB just has better movement and footwork than PAC. It didn't win him the fight, but it is still true.

    That's only 70% Pac that showed up. But still enough to dominate MAB.

    At least compukiller has the balls to admit his wrong prediction. What happened to the rest who said that MAB will TKO/win against Pac? They said MAB is a lot better now and that Pac is distracted and is ripe for picking. Well the opposite happened and Pac even demonstrated that he also has a great D. You don't believe me? Go and ask MAB. He complimented Pac's great defense.

    "All insults, jokes, hollering, screaming and, flaming here."
    It seems that Pac fans are not those kind of people.

    If Pac is allowed to be 70%, why can't MAB be 50%??

    Thing is, Pac only explodes when hes hurt. Everytime MAB hurt him, he would explode on him, same as what happened in his fight with Solis. He was content to win a decision. I think had Roach told him he was loosing the fight, he would have gone for a KO and got it.

    It often depends on how your opponent is fighting you too. MAB was trying to take a page from the JMM book and counter Pacquiao and pacquiao still beat him, and beat him pretty well. :good

    Barrera knew it was suicide to try and "fight" pac and no way did he want to risk the chance of a KO loss in his last fight. He was content with losing a decision, but losing nevertheless.

    yes I know, and MAB was not at 50%, just like he wasn't shot for the first fight with Pacquaio and now you have to accept the fact that Pacquaio beats MAB regardless of what kind of excuses you want to make for him. :good
