he looked a lot sharper in the fights that followed, and well by the time the rematch did happen Barrera already kinda looked out of it, not shot, just he didn't look as driven
First fight: Pacquiao embarassed Barrera in front of his crowd.

Second fight: It was very conservative fight for Barrera, he just wanted to survive the night, and didn't really wanna engage until the late rounds where he got cut by a punch and penalized for hitting during the break.

Barrera didn't look that sharp to me against Juarez 1. He just boxed well in Juarez 2, that's pretty much it. Barrera was never a threat to Pacquiao because of their styles.
To be fair, both Barrera and Pac looked pretty poor in the second fight. Neither fighter was willing to engage. If Barrera really wanted to he could have made a fight of that. Pac was not himself whatsoever in that fight. Barrera was seemingly going through the motions himself though.

A horrible fight to watch. I would never have expected it to be so dull.
