yea mab would at times get the best of the exhanges just like in the fight but right after the round his corner screamed at him for going to war, then when mab was clearly behind in the fight then they tell him to be more aggressive. I think the corner confuse mab, mab was very hesitant he didn't come in well decided what he will do. it seem like it was a mabman that wanted part of it to be like the hamed fight and the other like the eric fights. I also think mab still had the san antonio 1st fight in his mind that made him scared or very cautious.
marco was also cautious not to gas out. he said after the fight that he got tired cos he made the mistake of mixing it with manny at several instances, stating he should have just boxed all through out the fight.
