if youre fighting a barrera who doesnt want to engage..well,its gonna be a dull fight.I think manny is out to prove that he isnt just the reckless go-go-go fighter he used to be.His defense and footwork has improved a lot too.However,he could have engage more than what he showed.In the future,a fight with valero should be exciting while a fight with guzman will defenitely be boring! Of course,a rematch with jmm is most logical and financially lucrative.Obiviously,At this stage of pacs career...he has to be push to the edge to bring the "eye of the tiger" look that has somehow mellowed because of good life.A loss would therefore help.Training in the Philippines and starring in a movie is a disrespect to his opponent i should say.Did i enjoy the fight? well,everyone expect manny to knock out barrera or at least tried...it actually became a tactical fight..which for me is boring...yeah..i didnt enjoy the fight...manny should have tried to engage more...he was too nice....the tiger chose to be a house cat that day.
