    I didn't really enjoy it that much. I did rewatch it now that I have it downloaded, but there is no high point in the fight that I can flip back to watch over and over. The exchanges were few and far inbetween. Hard for any moment that really stood out. The only drama in the fight was when Barrera gave Manny the foul. How exciting... This fight was obviously for the money, and I hope they put Manny back against exciting fighters that are willing to exchange. Manny can keep winning, but the way his opponents hide from him, can lower his excitement level if he can't get inside or get them to engage.

      That fight was horrible. I expected Pac to swarm and MAB to try to box aggressivly and neither of those happened. Complete ****.

            I usually agree with alot of things you say but not this one.

            1st off when your down (I don't see how anyone could have had Barrera up) you have got to change things OR AT LEAST take a couple risks. Barrera never did and worse than that, had no intention of trying to climb out of the hole he placed himself into. He really looked like he was in there just to stay standing. It was dissapointing.

            Which brings me to the next topic, Andre Dirrell won virtually every round in the Curtis Stevens fight (which your referring too). That was a case of the fighter not wanting to get hit BUT scoring himself and winning the fight easily. I can't knock that. It's not pretty...not entertaining....but it is winning.

            If your boxing (or pot-shotting) and winning, then do what you have to do.

            But if your losing and not taking the risk or measures to at least try and win the fight...then it's a problem.

              It's the expectation man. DLH-Mayweather had to many expectations so it is percieved much worse than it actually was. Same with this fight. It was expected to be a war but when it became a boxing match people were dissapointed.

                  The title of the fight should have been "THE WILL TO SURVIVE"...

                    I agree with this totally and I found the fight pretty boring.
