He realisd he was in a fight at the end of the 3rd and he was dealing with the facial damage more so than Rockys 1 dimensional style .

Surprisngly though he was still able to fight at pace and at times went back to his old brawling style . He fought back cuz he had to but I think his natural stamina is starting to fail him now . It was very hard for him in there but like a true champ there was no quit in him . He deserved it in the end but it puts a new light on a possible pac rematch
CC for being a realist ,I know you are a massive MAB fan but I don't see how he could handle Pacman towards the later rounds if their fight went that long. Juarez was powerful and did damage,Pac is just sooo much more. I wish prime MAB fought Pac,I'd take Mab anyday!
Av 1 back .

Heres to Barrera beating Pac at super bantam in his prime years He could keep pace then for 12 rounds and remain throwing classy combos with power and keep his defence water tight .

On Saturday he struggled and although he fought well I could see he was well knackered . Between rounds his head was down and at times his jab was to keep Juarez off him whilst he got his breath . It could be that he had a bad night and greats comeback so we'l wait and see . Maybe he just needed a wake up call cuz he looked like he was going through the motions alot in the early goings . I expect him to be more focused against Pac though

I must admit in the 4th round with his bloody nose after getting wobbled I thought it was guna be a bad night . Barrera was out of his comfort zone and it looked like the Pac fight all over again . Fortunatley Juarez doesnt apply pressure well and doesnt throw that many shots otherwise Barrera could have lost . Im actually surprised he had as much stamina as he did and looking back at the replay he actually dished out alot of offense to Juarez at times . In the end I think he was a deserving winner but there cant be too much left in the tank . With a bit of luck Morales adds afew more miles to Pacs clock in the fall
