HBO.com CRACKS me UP!!!! lol

uhhhh, Barrerra barely landed anything buddy. boxing is about landing punches...if u dont land then u lose, period. who cares whether u circle or not...

He might not have been landing bombs, but he was with the jab, and gave relativley as much as Manny did for certain rounds. Barrera looked the controller of the first half of the fight, he was making Manny fight his fight. If Manny attacked, Barrera would come right back, also showing great defense and movement.

I never said Barrera deserved the win. I agree that Manny won the fight, but I say say that if someone would suggest a draw, I wouldn't think them foolish, because Manny fought Barrera's fight.

I personally scored the fight 115-113 Pac-man with the 1 point deduction. Ledderman has a stick up his ass tonight or something. He was even getting pissed at the guy that fought before them.

"I dont have any sympathy for a fighter that fights off the ropes!"

2 of the judges were totally wrong. The fight was much closer.

[starjammer]

If Floyd Mayweather employs Barrera's gameplan in his next fight I will guarantee that the judges give him more than two rounds.

That's a great point!

[FightNight 2007]

Once again fight night displays complete ignorance of every facet of the sport. Good job, it must be exceedingly difficult consistently spew ******ity.

LOL dude you're a ****ing "sweet science" nuthugger....boxing is all about landing the harder punches.....period, case closed...there's no extra quadratic equation involved idiot

[brently1979]

So did I. I found the judges scoring of 10-2 in favour of Pacquiao insulting.

I agree. I don't think either fighter really won or lost that fight. But the scoring was ****** as always.

I dunno what you guys were watching but Pac DOMINATED...I respect your opinion though but most of the people who saw the fight or at least what I have read from other people, posters and writers, Barrera was dominated by Pacquiao... Maybe you have a different criteria. I thought Pac tried to make it a fight landed more punches, harder punches threw jabs effectively as well. Barrera lost in the exchanges, backed up all night, clinched when he was attacked, landed nice punches but not as much as pac, had good jab going but Eriks jab was more effective than Mabs againts Pac in all their fights... I dunno what your criteria is but more power to ya...

If I read this without watching the fight I would think the matchup could have been FOTY.

If Floyd Mayweather employs Barrera's gameplan in his next fight I will guarantee that the judges give him more than two rounds.

He won't and never has so there is no need to worry about that.

From their websites front boxing page...

"In a two-sided, action-packed event, Manny Pacquiao defeated Marco Antonio Barrera in a twelve round battle.

Unable to match Pacquiao's speed and energy, Barerra nevertheless managed to hold his own, setting up a solid jab and engaging Pacquiao in a series of epic exchanges..."

Did it really say that?

Blatant propaganda..
