Barrera lacks composure

For being such a saavy vet, he can be a total spaz in heat of moment. The full nelson, and ramming Naz's head into belt buckle which resulted in a point deduction. The head butt to Pacman's chest, and late hit after break which resulted in a point deduction. The cheap shot punch to Morales face in pre-fight presser. The "look what I found" late hit to JMM which resulted in a point deduction. In each case, and in some of his biggest fights, whether he was winning big or losing big or in a controversial fight or even events outside the ring, he has lost control of his emotions and made some really dumb decisions...some tactical, some that didn't matter...but dumb nonetheless. Of course, this is nitpicking and doesn't take away from his legacy, but you gotta wonder why he loses control and goes low brow in his greatest and worst moments.

He's one of the most composed fighters ever. He didn't lack composure. He knew what he was doing and chose to do it. Many fighters do similar things in fights. Actually, I thought MAB won a close fight. A rematch is in order.

You're still sore because Barrera completely dismantled Hamed and destroyed his career. That's funny and true at the same time.

thats the most flat out rediculous thing i have ever heard. He was on all 4s. If you know anything about boxing, u know its a slip or a KD when a guy is on the floor like that, and both involve the referees interference. And Barrera, well considering hes been in what, 80 professional fights AND is training to become an expert commentator, i think we can safely assume he KNOWS what he did was wrong but did it anyway. Nady WAS slow, but it doesnt justify that Its the ref's responsibility. Nady made two huge mistakes in about 5 seconds. Poor referee job.

Are you refering to Barrera hitting Marquez when he was down? Barrera waited a good 5 seconds for the referee to jump in and make a decision. Instead Nady stood around with his thumb up his ass and didn't call the knockdown like he should have. What was Barrera supposed to do? Stand there? It wasn't ruled a knockdown so he went with his instinct to keep fighting. Very true. Its similar to what happened in Jones v Griffen I. On both cases, the ref never stepped in between the fighters for about 5 seconds, so jones and barrera did what was natural to do in a fight. Keep throwing punches.

If it was a knockdown the ref should step in if the fighter is not down u dont stop. U can say what Barrera did is dirty (he is a dirty fighter sometimes) but the ref didnt do his job.

Last night was terrible. Just cos the ref ruled out a knockdown doesnt mean he can run up to his opponent and give him a full shot to the head. You're still sore because Barrera completely dismantled Hamed and destroyed his career.

he's just a dirty fighter. The guy does what he wants to cause he think he'll win anyway. Last night was a terrible decision. No reason why a vet should do something like that.

Fighters get pissed a lot, especially when they're in the ring with an opponet. I don't think you can blame Barrera for getting caught up in the moment and losing his cool. You have to remember, he makes a living by being violent.
