    I also feel ripped off for ordering this PPV. I to thought MAB would give it he's all since it was his last effort.

        i enjoyed this fight but missed the action-packed, high-adrenaline scenes that are typical of any pacquiao fights. i'm both a pacquiao and a mab fan, so this is something i didn't wanna miss, especially that marco said this would be his last fight. $50 bucks is not an issue to me. you can earn it back anytime. if there's a fight i want to watch, i want to see the action as it unfolds rather than wait for days or a week to watch it freebie.

            Did Barrera look any worse in the long run than Morales did? You guys wanted him to go out on his ass, and that would have satisfied people on two levels. One, most of the fans who are Pacman nuthuggers would like that. Two, it satisfies the immediate future. Becase you remember him as a warrior. In the long run, this kind of fight to go out on, helps his career. If you can't see that, in my opinion, you're not looking at the bigger picture.

              To be real, I didn't think this fight was as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. I'm not saying that it was a good fight, because it wasn't. I think that it was not Pay Per View worthy but was a decent event.

              It was obvious after a few rounds that Barrera didn't come in to win the fight. I do think that he could have made a very competitive and eventful night of it, but I think that in doing so Pacquiao would have ultimately again stopped him. I don't think that a fighter like Manny is going to look good against someone who refuses to go to war with him. But even so, Manny was still landing his left hand and his jab was also more effective in this fight than any other Pac fight that I've seen (maybe there's a fight where he landed it more, if so, someone please let me know so I can watch it). Pac isn't a technical fighter, we've all known that for quite some time, and Barrera made it into a technical night, I think.

              I think that it is sad, though, to go out on such a note. Just trying to make it through your final fight. I think that Marco should have never fought a rematch with Manny because I believe that this fight showed just what kind of impact Pacquiao had on him due to their first encounter.

                i enjoyed it at the beginning, cos i thought that at any moment anything could happen, but after a while i realized that barrera wasnīt going to risk anything and was just waiting for pac , and also pac respected barrera too much so he didnīt risk that much either.
                i think that barrera wanted to do the same he did against naz, but the problem was that pac was really cautious on being too agressive.
                it was a very tactical fight and i think that even though it wasnt exciting, it was a very high level fight. but when i realized that barrera wasnt going to be agressive too, i started to get bored cos pac was winning clearly and i didnt think that anything surprise will happen.

                if pac would have fought as he usually do, i think barrera would have had more chances on winning, so he was really clever.
