I think Barrera just went there to stand up and not be knocked out... He fought scared and too tentative and in my opinion blew a golden opportunity as Pacquiao was obviously not himself in the fight. Hopefully Pacquiao will now take a meaningful fight against the winner of Soto vs Guzman.
I hate to bring in my favorite fighter into this but this fight shows why Morales was so great.... always a great show.

Great post. I couldn't help fell Barerra did an DLH on us tonight. He should have mixed it up with Pac more in the late rounds.
I always respected erik...
how did it played out? any of the guys was in trouble during the fight?
how about the illegal blow, i read the it greatly affected pac?
Not really there were maybe a couple of good shots here and there but nothing big. It was one of those fights where at the end of the night you felt both fighters left 3/4's of their gas in the tank still. Very disappointing.
Yep, i think the fight was very high level, but y was kind of dissaponted with barreras attitude. he just wanted to lose but not by ko. i really expected to barrera to give everything on the ring but well, thats how it is.
about pac, i think he respected barrera to much sometimes, but he did a great job and im always amazed on how fast and powerful he is.
well, now we have diaz - diaz for next week =D, and i expect that to be a great fight. :boxing:
shit i was more upset about Bojado losing, cause hes young and talented..
Bojado needs someone to put a gun to his head and make his ass run cause thats what he doesnt like to do...
stop licking bojado's nuts.....damn puto!
Morales is great but Lopez was better then Morales...But Morales will go down greater then Barrera IMO.
yeah lopez's talent>morales and sanchez....but morales' record is better....
i have to rethink and rate them like this:
JCC-talent but not a strong record despite the 100+ wins...
Morales-talent + record
Lopez-Talent......record not strong enough..
Sanchez-Talent and strong record but he died so young.....
see this is why morales is the fucking man....greatest mexican after JCC and Sanchez....
