Comments Thread For: Standstill: Manny Pacquiao and Mario Barrios fight to draw

[Fanofreason]

Everytime he landed a body shot PacMan would cry and Barrios would stop and touch gloves when he should have blasted him. Barrios obviously carried him. Disgrace. Both should be banned from sport. Same old Pac Wild flurries hitting air.

I thought Manny edged it, but am not mad at a draw. Barios came on in the end. I could not believe a 46 year old, who was out of the ring that long, fought that way! He definitely didn't like it to the body and complained a lot. Not very Manny-like. I guess when you live clean, do not smoke or drink, you can perform better, longer.

I really dont understand Barrios game plan. When you have a smaller 46 year old in front of you, you pressure him with volume and test his gas tank. It looked like he was point sparring. The worst parts were when he would hit manny to the body and Manny would tell him to stop and he would oblige lol. Straight up embarrassing

Enjoyed the fight was wonderful seeing Manny in the ring again was clearly a draw it felt like a draw and the judges got it right. Would be nice if that was it for Manny he didn’t look great and Barrios didn’t do a lot but it was a good fun fight.

I didn’t enjoy! However you summed it up perfectly with draw and he should differently call it a day, and the champ should as well with 2 draws in a row he has the least of these when it comes to being champion.

I literally fell asleep during this fight. Rewatched it today on youtube from inside the stadium. As usual a fake controversy surrounding the judging. If anything give Pac 5-6 rounds was generous. He wuffed air all night, couldn’t close the distance. Barrios’ jabs and right hands to head and body were connecting, unlike Manny’s blustering flurries. Barrios was on cruise control. It felt like he could have went up a gear but didn’t. I was right to fall asleep. Hardly worth losing my own recovery time in the sack for such a spectacle.

Pacquiao should have fought Boots Ennis instead of Mario Barrios. At least that way, he could have gotten Marquez'd again and went out in a blaze of glory

When Manny kept gesturing to Barrios to keep his punches up. It makes a reasonable person to deduce whether or not the fight was scripted.

Maybe it was or maybe it wasn’t but it definitely gave out that type of vibe. Manny has never done that before ever in his entire career.
