Why was Barrera able to beat Naseem Hamed so easily?

What was it about Barrera that gave Hamed so much trouble in their fight?

I'm talking mainly from a STYLE point of view though, not some "Barrera's family just died and his wife is in the ER from a mysterious illness that will only be cured by a decisive victory in his next big fight, which made him an unstoppable force" type of reasoning

Counter punching.

But, maybe named needed to use pact@rd excuses? Shoulder etc.

Instead Hamed gave Barrera his props and moved on.
Gave no excuses.... Unlike fanny PACman

I think the one thing we can all agree on is that Hamed was one of the most entertaining and destructive punchers in boxing history and he did it at the highest level, which makes Barrera's feat all the more amazing to be honest. Boxing is a much worse place without Naz though, we could do with another one.

Another good one.
