Simply put, Manny needed Barrera to exchange but Barrera did'nt and Manny did not pursue it as he used too. After seeing the fight on replay I enjoyed it better for Manny's side because he showed good defense except for Barrera's snappy counter punching. Barrera had a game plan and stuck with it which was not going to work if you cannot out score your opponent. Manny thew a lot of punches but Barrera was content on back pedaling and countering which was not enough for an aggressive opponent. I thought when I was seeing the fight live that it was way closer than what the judges saw but after seeing the fight for the second time I can almost completely agree with lederman except for the other two rounds that i thought Barrera won
