I still can't believe that his team let him go ahead with a bout in that heat against an Texan Hispanic fighter, McGuigan should shoulder some of the blame but who knows what involvement he would have been given.

After this one with the management dispute and losing his father he never quite seemed the same, I don't think it was down to the loss but simply losing heart in the game.

Would loved to have seen him get it on with Nelson at the time.Nelson called him out loads calling him McWiggle and stuff and was really chasing it but at the time I remember reading a lot about Barry running scared. That I doubt, I imagine his management just didn't want him taking the chance in case he lost , ironically they then gave the title away !!
