    Cheating? Give me a break, he schooled him, and the wrestling was just like emanuel_augustus said, Barrera saying **** you, and well deserved in my opinion.

    The guy stepped up and had to pay for it.

    Barrera showed the world who Nas really was, and made him look like a ******.

    I think there's a lot of hate on Hamed because he's an arrogant *****. Okay, he may be a complete ******* as a person, but I think too many people let that cloud their judgement of him as a fighter. Winning all four major belts, defeating 10 world champs (Perez, Robinson, Medina, Johnson, Vazquez, Kelley, Soto, Bungu, McCullough and Ingle) and ruling a division for 6 years is not the resume of someone who couldn't fight a bit! It';s not as good as it could have been because, ultimately, his dedication to the sport was not what it should have been and he lacked the passion to come back after losing on fight. But if losing one fight by an 8-4 points verdict where you were never down or in trouble makes a fighter "overrated", "exposed" or "a fraud" then there are a hell of a lot of great fighters past and present who would have to qualify!

    The King vs the Clown prince. Nice shuffle left and jab by Barrera.

    Exactly, Barrera was saying "I can even afford to lose a point against you mother****a!" and still win. Barrera completely changed his style for this fight, and he fought beautifully, brilliant fight, Hamed didnt have any idea what to do, everytime he tried to do something, Barrera had an answer, it wasnt a beating or anything, clinic yes :good

    That's the third slightly biased pro Naz post in a row.

    Barerra cheating is a bit far fetched, especially when you consider that Naz almost dropped Soto on his head in a previous fight. That was a body slam not as you describe Barerra grabbing onto Hamed as they both fell. Countless headbutts and low blows - puhlease! :nut

    Naz was schooled by Barerra who pretty much had an answer for everything Naz did. There is a lot of hate for Hamed and some of it is justified because he had the tendency to be such a classless ***** inside and outside the ring. I also know a lot of people who have had their opinion on Hamed vindicated after running from the scene of an accident after driving dangerously.

    Now don't get me wrong, Hamed was a very good fighter. He punched like a kick from a mule and his style was unique. He is one of the best champions that Britain has ever produced. However he lacked longevity and defining fights against other champions such as Morales, Pacman and Marquez. But back to the point, Barerra was a clear derserving winner against Hamed.

    When Barrera decided to brawl with Hamed, Hamed simply had no answer. I can't believe many would actually pick Hamed over Pac. Pac beats him up badly.

    He was not a "waste of talent". He made millions, was famous, was champion, and entertained a lot of fighters.

    Mickey Bey, is a waste of talent. Juan McPherson is a waste of talent.

    What a garbage ass post. Can a person favor Barrera anymore than this "highlight reel". It was a tough fight. Naz didn't get creamed, he won rounds and put up a great effort.

    Clown prince just didn't have the balance for a really good fighter.
