i think its just a bad case of mab to scared to get KD/KO and pac not confident with his stamina cause of troubles with his weight. both were gun shy but mab has more to lose.
agree, you also have to consider that 2 o pac's 3 losses was when he was weight drained and he got stopped both times. pac was also specially wary of marco's head and other foul tactics he might employ.

other than winning the fight, it was a good ending to barrera's career though.
Were you impressed by Manny KK or you letting this one slide? I didn't think of it like that but you could be right,maby Manny was scared he would get KTFO because his other losses came because of being weight drained? Awesome point. He still looked really poor though.
i was deeply disappointed as well but then i figured it had something to do with the things i mentioned. remember i was already concern about manny's being weight drained prior to the fight. turned out he was 3 lbs over the weight limit friday, lost 2 lbs on the threadmill then struggled to lose the last lb hours before the weigh-in. i think training in the philippines was a mistake cos manny never had problems making weight for superfeather before and usually comes in safely under the limit.

you have to understand about manny is that he's mostly really not the superior fighter over his opponents technically. he usually swamps his opponents with his speed, power and relentlessness and forces them to engage in powershots which is really quite exhausting. then his advantage of having the better conditioning and natural stamina takes over plus the fact that he's got the heart of a champion and is usually not afraid to stand toe to toe with anybody and being a natural athlete augers him well. so when the strong point of his game isn't a hundred percent then his performance would suffer significantly. roach is still working on the technical side of his game and is still a work in progress.
