I've been thinkin about this since the fight, and i'm 100% on the fact that Barrera knew exactly what he was doing. If he wanted the fight stopped, it would have ended an NC. End of. He has way way too many rounds of boxing under his belt to not know what he was doing.

I gotta be wondering what the referee wispered in Barrera's ear aswell.

I'm not a big fan of thaxton atall, but i do believe a fight with Murray would also be a cracker. I really like Murray, he'll stalk Kahn for 12 rounds like a cold killer, although I just think he falls short of top class and ships too many punches.
