    The nerve of this guy to raise his hand and flex his muscles at the end of the fight when his ass just fought to survive for 12 rounds.. What a waste of 50 bucks!! He should of put his head down in shame and left the ring, What a ripoff :twisted:

    Marco just gave a great performance against a fighter who annhilated him once before.

    He showed more balls stepping into that ring than most of us, including you, have ever shown, ever.

    Respect the man, dont hate. He's a legend.

    Barrera fought to survive. I think if he had tried harder though, Pacman would have stopped him. His punches, when he did land, were ineffective and seemingly only made Pacman angry.

    It's not disrespectful to call a spade a spade either. He showed balls taking the fight knowing what he knew, but he didn't fight a Barrera type fight.

    Thats good for him for having balls and gettin paid millions of dollars to fight, And why do you say including me? I'm a fan writing on a boxing forum you dumb ass I never said i was a boxer. And I'm not gonna respect someone that took my 50 dollars when all he planned on doing was surviving for 12 rounds instead of getting knocked out.

    Marco didn't "fight to survive", but he sure didn't take many risks either. The few exchanges there were proved why he didn't.

    No shame to retire off of this bout.

    I can't wait to actually see this fight. I wish I had went to my pops to watch it.

    It sounds like Barrera started off really well boxing PAC

    He looked more beatable than usual, but that may have been because of the style and pace of the fight. He still exploded. But I still don't believe he has the power he had in the weight class below.

    Barrera survived, props to him for that.
    Now its time to retire, he did well for the sport over the years

    i have no problem with it. he has been a great fighter and probably knew it was his last fight. he fought as well as anyone could expect. but i was quite disappointed in manny. just seemed to lack the killer instinct.

    Though I havent seen the fight yet, surely people realise that was the only way MAB was going to win the fight??

    If he traded with Pac he would have been ko'ed again.

    I aint suprised he took this approach, Barerra has shown he is far from a ***** throughout his career.
