        For me tonight it once again further reiterated that there are simply too many belts in boxing.
        Too many awful fighters posing as world champions.

        I'd love nothing more than for boxing to do away with at least 70% of the titles and to give these ranking systems a total overhaul.

          Ton of respect to Pac but I would take Norman Jr., Rocha, and Curiel over the two tonight. Maybe even Flaz.

            If the weakest "champ" can't beat or stop a 46 year old who hasn't fought a real fight in almost a decade then what does that say about boxing, the division itself or the fighter?

                Barrios, like his Aztec ancestors, capitulated under the bright lights.

                    It says that whoever you are...at whatever level in life....social media can undermine your confidence and cause you self doubt. Yes...Barrios by rights should have takrn Manny out...but dont doubt for a minute that he was doubting himself after every man and his dog has trashed him for the last few months. Best or worst champion....he has acheived far more than 10,000 other fighters out there. Give the man some props.

                      Pac - Barrios was underwhelming. Looked like Barrios was taking over in the 3rd and 4rth rounds, then he just seemed to stop his assertiveness and let Pac right back into the fight. I'd expected that Barrios was going to amp up the pressure to wear down the older man, but instead he completely took his foot off the gas. Manny was bothered by the body shots, was complaining and was looking frazzled...So Barrios decided to lower the intensity? WTF??!!

                      Is Barrios really that bad? He beat the crap out of Ugas, but looked very vulnerable in his previous fight to this one. Maybe he's just not a consistent fighter. I also suspect that he is physically vulnerable and senses his own weakness, because he really was not pushing forward to beat Pac down. Maybe he doesn't trust his own chin and body to withstand a shootout. Didn't he get hurt badly in his last fight?
