Pacman losing steam

watch it again... When I watched it live, I was watching it so much as a fan with a lot of bias and criticism for both fighters. But then when I reviewed it, it was more action-packed than I thought.

How can you be busy if your opponent is running all the time and don't want to trade punches?..

It takes two to tango..

you're damn right brother.. mab is just too scared to mix it off with pac. maybe golden boy dela-boo-ya is now in tears. no mexican can ever beat pacman this days.. or maybe, golden boy dela-booya would like to put his weight down and square with pacman inside the ring??? he didn't have any respect to pacman-bcos he's afraid of him too.

In order for there to be a war in the ring here would have to be two people fighting in it.

Pac tried to square up and trade shots but MAB was just running the whole time. Except in round 11 where MAB thought that he needed a K.O. to win. Then they traded and MAB was in danger of hitting the canvas and walked into his corner with a huge cut under his eye.

MAB also had some really nice defence in this fight than compared to the one he had before making the fight less explosive. He also woved to Manny's right at an angle where if Manny threw his left hand Manny would be out of position and MAB would be able to counter effectively if Manny got too reckless, stopping Manny from throwing that much.

Edit: MAB also decided to add some clinching to his game to stop Manny from throwing when Manny had him.

Maybe its the new trunk of manny,why manny did'nt KO Barrera well how can manny KO this mexican fighter if he keeps running avoiding to get hit by manny?! Well its time to say goodbye to Barrera,barrera is off the sunset.

Maybe but then again maybe not. Either he lacks training or he got drained making the weight or barrera is one tough nut to crack.

Pac had plenty of opportunities to pressure MAB but he was even backing off himself at times, so please stop 100 % blaming MAB for this lackluster fight. There was plenty of times when Pac could have forced the issue and imposed his will, but he basically let an old man control the fight's pace for 12 rounds. I'd even knock Pac man down a notch on the p4p. Very disappointing,,

i agree with someoen above, i was watching the fight as a fan and was quite disappointed, but then i watched it again and it was a pretty good fight. i had it 120 to 107 for pac. yes every round.

People love to write off a fighter after one fight. Not everyone has a good fight budd, and the way MAB was fighting it was very hard to have a good fight. Not to mention Pac let him control the pace for 12 rounds.
