    After watching Pacquiao/Barerra I, a comment and a question...

    Comment: I noticed that, at the time (2003), Jim Lampley seemed to not be aware that a boxer can still lose a round even though he/she scored a knockdown.

    Question: Barerra had "Tapia" on the back of his trunks. Why's that? (After the stoppage, he was indeed hugged/consoled by Johnny Tapia)

    Tapia is his mother's maiden name, Marco Antonio Barrera Tapia is his full name, no relation to Johny they were just very good friends.
