A very close fight, I thought Barrera probably won (in Britain they didnt show 10-12 WHAT HAPPENED??) BUT 118-109 to Pacman??? More boxing corruption because Barrera won 1-5 and 8 for me - thats 6 rounds. No way Barrera only won 2 rounds - bought off judges tonight :twisted:
I was watching both UK and HBO broadcasts and the brits had a totally different outlook on the fight...no nuthugging there... good for them...I know that barrera lost but GOD DAMN!!! that was a wide margin...HBO nuthuggers...
I had it 10-2 Pac with the one 10-8 round for the penalty. Not a close bout. Marco fought very negatively the entire time. You can't flurry twice per round and spend the rest of the three minutes avoiding confrontation and expect to win.
The punch stat numbers are lopsided in favor of Pacman. Barrera never hurt him, and you had Barrera winning 6 rounds going into the 9th? I had the fight 10-1-1 for Pacman.
I agree. I don't know what was up with setanta losing coverage (i only signed up tonight). Maybe they have decided they'll only cover fair fights. From what I did see I saw a solid MAB performance.
punchstats are overated barrera was winning until the 10th then i lost coverage so how people act like manny won 8 or 9 rounds is beyond me
HOW CAN HE WIN A ROUND IF HE KEEPS RUNNING?atschatschatsch or maybe you are watching a different fight.:yep:yep:yep
This content is protected By Victor Perea at ringside Super featherweight Manny Pacquiao (44-3-2, 35 KOs) took a one-sided twelve round unanimous decision over Marco Antonio Barrera (63-5, 42 KOs) on Saturday night at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Pacquiao, who previously stopped Barrera four years ago, was again the aggressor and outworked Barrera, who tried to keep the fight tactical. Barrera chose to trade in the fifth, his best round, however, for the most part "Pacman" outgunned the tentative "Baby-faced Assassin." Barrera was deducted a point for hitting after the break in round eleven, a round where Barrera sustained a cut under his right eye. Scores were 118-109, 118-109, 115-112.
It was a close fight, not a good fight, but Pac won fair and square. 118-109 is bull****, but they got the right guy winning. Terrible fight though, Pac and Barrera both looked like **** IMHO.
Punch stats are overrated to a degree....but not to the extent of dismissal. And like I said, Pacman was never hurt, and let me add, threw the harder cleaner shots. If you land less and your punches are weaker, you scored it in favor or Barrera HOW?
