No, it wasn't. It was a great win for MAB but far from a classic fight.

You mean you wouldn't want to see a Legendary Nights about MAB-NAZ ?

I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it, just that compared to other fights I have seen it just wasn't a classic. I guess you can argue the circumstances and such elevate it but its no classic IMO.

Yes, it was a classic. I was sure the Barrera was done as a top fighter and was possably going to get ko'd. The fight was hyped big time and got a lot of press and people wanted to see this fight. I was surprised that Barrera won and surprised how cautious he was meaning Hamed must have really been a hard puncher. It was a great moment when he rammed Hamed into the ring post people i was seeing the fight with went crazy as did i. And Hamed had done that **** to so many of his opponets it was time someone did so to him. Classic i think so, Hamed was suppsed to be bigtime in America as he was in Europe. I remember they had Hamed on cnn, espn, what bothered me is that when Hamed was interviewed by them channels he wasn't as ****y as he was before and after his fights in them interviews and kind of a let down cause he was an interesting charector when he started talking his smack but Barrera shut him down...too bad he didn't get back into boxing after his only comback fight.
