Paquia Destroyed Barrera!!

[porkstar]

I just finished watching that fight on HBO and what a performance! That phillipino guy was awesome and he's the new champ!

I think that guy is easily one of the top 5 best pound-for-pound fighters in the world now.

yeah Barrera got killed. I'm not a huge boxing fan, but I can tell a domination when I see it and that was a HUGE domination!

[Shamrocked]

Damn! I forgot that the fight was tonight and now I know who won. :evil: I expected a close fight, but it doesn't sound like it ended up that way.

[robbypark]

It wasn't even remotely close. Barrera won the first round and after that it was an annihilation that ended later on when Barrera's corner threw in the towel.

That was a great display of boxing by two unbelievable athletes. That said, I'm sorry but I cannot get excited over two 126 pound guys slugging it out. It that was perhaps the best display of boxing skills I've seen in a long time. But did I enjoy it? Not really. It was like watching an NBA half time show where guys spin the ball on their fingers for minutes and dunk the ball off of trampolines and stuff. It's interesting to watch, but you don't consider them real basketball players. Same thing here. These guys have incredible boxing skill, but I don't think of them as real fighters. In any kind of real fight they'd be tossed aside like a fly.

Sorry, but the lightest weightclass I can watch are the 140lbs (De La Hoya and company).

tony, you usually say some intelligent things, but that last post was dumb as ****. weight classes have been around since boxing began,get used to it. size doesnt mean ****, only the quality of fighters. this fight showcased the two best featherweights out there and they fought their hearts out. and you say you didnt enjoy it? would you have rather seen tyson demolish some no name chump? if so, i'm sad to say you dont know your boxing. you "dont think of them as real fighters"? i bet manny would smack the **** out of you in a "real" fight. at the end you'd be saying "not bad for a fly".

last night pacquoi and barrera put on a brilliant performance. (better than any heavyweight fight in years). with the destruction of barrera, manny just wiped out the featherweight scene and crowned himself king of the feather weights. barrara should'nt rush into a rematch, he'd only get beat again. the next big fight at that weight would be manny pacquoi and juan manuel marquez.

by the way,de la hoya now fights at 154 lbs.

Pac, Erik Morales, Floyd Mayweather Jr, Diego Corales, Frietas, Barrera, Paulie Ayalya, Prince Naseem Hamed and just a select few who fight under 140 and are exciting as hell to watch and who knock people out..

If you won't watch anything less than a buck 40 then you missing out on a lot of great ****!

In my opinion, I think the little guys are more fun to watch than the big guys. There is so much more action and it is so much more faster paced with the little guys as apposed to the slow, sluggish fights the heavyweights constantly have.

[sleekdom]

The guy that won is like a huge star in the Phillipines. This won must have vaulted him up to legendary or iconic status.
