Anyway, to be honest, I was a little bit disappointed with the way the fight ended. I was expecting a KO in the early rounds. Now, my theory had been proven. It went into the distance coz Pacquaio became contented with a UD and Barrera decided not to end his career with a humiliating KO. Watching the 12th round, it's apparent that both of them were becoming cautious and careful. They hardly traded punches during that round. and people were expecting them to go all out in that round.These are the reasons I was gravely frustrated with the fight. Most probably these are also some of the reasons why many are frustrated.


I think that is it in a nutshell. They both showed brief flashes where the fight almost threatened to ignite but Barrera clearly wasn't prepared to risk it all and go to war and Manny clearly wasn't going to go to war when he was winning the fight anyway.

That would be like asking the US to invade a country with tanks and infantry when instead they could just bombarded the S*** out of it with long range missiles, never going to happen.
