I completely agree with Master. Naz was possibly the most naturally gifted British fighter I have ever seen. Fantastic reflexes, slippery Wincobank style and crushing power.

He was definitely believing his own press at that point in his career, and was shirking his training. I remember the thing about the barber and saying to my friends that Barrera would beat him.

With a style like his, if his timing is off then nothing works. He had also never truly ingrained the basics so he didn’t have a solid reliable muscle-memory technique to fall back on when things went wrong.

He took his beating bravely, but was schooled by an all time great. He was dismantled, made to look silly and ultimately bullied by an all time great.

I think Barrera broke his heart as he had one more bad fight and then called it a day.
