Round by Round: Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera II

MAB collected a paycheck. That was pathetic. His whole gameplan was to last. Now he can say he did better than Morales. Just retire.

 

There are some American commentators on the british feed, I don't know who they are, but they think barrera is ahead or it's a draw

 

at least now that this fight is DONE....Pacquiao can go on to fight the young lion in the division..Guzman..Soto

 

You lose!!!::

 

I am pretty disappointed in Barrera.

This was an opportunity to prove himself a greater fighter than Morales, but it proved the contrary. At least Morales fucking went for it in the rematches with Pacman.

Barrera was pathetic tonight.

 

Manny Pacquiao 44-3 (35 Ko's)
vs.
Marco Antonio Barrera 63-5 (42 Ko's)


OFFICIAL

118-109x 2
115-112

WINNER BY UD..STILL CHAMPION MANNY PACQUIAO

 

jesus, 7-5?

 

Jake - in your estimation, approximately how much would Oscar have needed to pay the judge for him to have given Marco 5 rounds?

 

If Barrera would of fought to win,he would of been KTFO!!!

 

Hmm... Pacquiao's 144. Mayweather's next fight is at 145, and Mayweather's not a weight cutter. One's beating welterweights and light middleweights. The other's beating up an old jr. bantamweight. There's a HUGE difference between #1 and #2 in my pound-for-pound list.

 

Even though Pacman won easily I am dissapointed that he didn't KO Barrera. Now MAB will start saying he won and wants another rematch even though he stunk the whole place with his performance.:doh:

 

:: ... nah, Marco was on the outs with GLH ever since the JMM fight. This was the last fight in his contract, and I'd like to think that Oscar was more than happy to let him go out like this (or simply with another loss)

 

MAB won't want a rematch.

 

Pacquiao

"i though he was going to box me"

"For me i'm okay with that win, i hope people are happy with the fight"

"I'm trying to make people happy, give a good show, i did my best i pray to learn nobody got hurt tonight"

"i'm still careful in the fight, he is still a dangerous opponent"..

"I think i was lucky in the first fight"

 

Ummm....yeah, which is likely why he fought technically and tactically, which is what you've been criticizing him for all night.



It's like criticizing Lewis for fighting Tua conservatively....this from the very same people who put down Lewis for having supposedly a "glass chin." But they want him to brawl with Tua.

Same scenario.

Peace.

 

How can you KO a fighter thats playing 90% defense

 

Hard to look good against a guy who is fighting like a bitch.

 

Barrera

"We did some good boxing, we though we were dominating with a left hand, we got headbutt and everything change" :crafty:


"He has a difficult southpaw guard, he was hard to breakthorough, we train hard"

"I'm sad cause i lose, but he didn't hit me as much as punchstat would say, i'm happy with my performance"

 

The translator had to have fucked up that last part. Did he just say (read: claim Marco said) that he was happy to BEGIN and end his career with Oscar?

 

You mean that Hector Macho Camacho was in his corner?::

 

MAB should be criticized for fighting as he did. he was giving away round after round instead of taking chances to win. That's garbage.

 

when is the supposed best or second best fighter in the world going to face a real opponent who has actually won his last fight?

 

Womp womp at this post,boxing is about landing the most and Barrera didn't throw a fucking thing or land a fucking thing and Lewis won because he landed more than Tua bad example you lose.

 

not really. Manny fought and sounded like a guy content to let the fight play out the way it did.

 

:clap::clap::clap::clap:

 

True, maybe I am being harsh on Manny. I thought he could have gone for it more and maybe taken MAB out, but I guess he was just playing it smart against a guy who came to survive.

Barrera disgraced himself.

Morales > Barrera.

 

SO do you agree with what I have been saying for months, that Manny's fire and desire for boxing has gone?

 

Morales at least made it exciting and showed guts. Barrera fought like a bitch tonight. Did not fight like a Mexican warrior who supposedly wanted this fight for so long.


Pac-Man would have stopped him if Marco would have taken more chances.

 

no way anybody can blame Pacquiao. Barrera fought like a bitch. Just like Roy on the last Tarver fight. Happy not to get KO'd.

Pacquiao won because he was busier and pressed the action. But on the hard exchanges they were about equal. Barrera showed he had enough to risk more.

For his goodbye fight it was a let down.

I once critized MOrales the way he fought Manny on the last fight. But looking back I can respect that more. At least it was more exciting while it lasted.

 

don't you mean Barerra?
