I just watched Hamed v Barerra again lol

[fugaziuk]

basically naz go way too big for his boots and in my opinion it all went downhill when he got rid of brendan ingle. He was so entertaining to watch he could have been somebody instead of could have been... we all see him as now.

[Dark Lord Al]

Thats just plain WRONG. How could naz not be motivated for the biggest fight of his life? The reason he wasnt at his best was because Barrera wouldnt let him be at his best, and was giving him a pasting. Face it, that was the best naz ever got, and when he fought a top line opponent he got beaten. That is the Truth.
You are taking away from MAB.

Naz didnt train properly for the fight.Naz was a million miles away from his best and it wasnt to do with MAB not letting him.

He never even did his flip in the ring when did you ever not see Hamed do that? He also had problems with his gloves that night!

He should of admitted he had a bad night and gone for a rematch,where he trained for the fight and we would of saw a better Naz.But he got beat and did'nt want to know after that,what a waste of talent.

YES I AGREE HAMED HAD TROUBLE WITH GLOVES THAT NIGHT...................THE ONES ATTACHED TO MARCO'S arms lol

[OumaFan]

Actually also watched it again not too long ago.

Hamed's balance was such shit, looked like an amateur compared to Barrera.

And how did Harold Lederman find so many rounds to give to Hamed. I can't remember exactly but I think he had Hamed with 4 rounds. Maybe just three. I guess I could have given him one if I was being charitable.

[AdamGB]

^ like wise, it was basically a shut out. Need to rewatch it but I can only remember giving Naz one round.

I'll also find out what round Naz does the chicken dance and trys to hide it!

[sexydarin]

He was completely done in by himself. If his work rate was up and he threw combos he would have beat Barrera. The only thing Hamed did well during the fight was his defence. His one punch at a time offence sucked.

[Majesty]

I have to say for a guy with 30+ fights Hamed is embarrassing , his chin gets higher and higher in the air as the fight goes on.
I never really liked Hamed for his big mouth , but Marco just takes him to school and shows what a great fighter he is , and has an ability to adapt his style for different opponents. This is something Hamed could not do , he had no plan B , i did find it very watchable as it shows a fighter with a sound technique will triumph over a LIMBO DANCER WITH POWER every time
I just wish it had been PACMAN catching Hamed
But anyway you guys tell me your views please

Pacman would have stood a greater chance of getting knocked out then Barerra because of his style

[deadlypete]

i watch that fight once a week....i love the intensity that barrera brought to the ring if there was ever a fight he was primed for that was the fight against hamed...no one gave barrera a chance and he came won convincingly and left....he developed the perfect plan to fight hamed(keep away from hameds powerful right by stepping to the left side of hamed keeping well away from his right and counterpunching instead of coming forward ......great and masterful fight by barrera and i agree with comments that say naz had no plan b...he expected to walk into da ring bang with his hard right and go home with the money....HAMED was a great unorthodox fighter and very entertaining to watch but when he came against a true champion he folded and sad to say never showed the heart of a champion and retired after that one loss and even ended up in prison serving a sentence for reckless driving causing harm.....one of the best and most anticapated fights ever and was a beauty to watch....interseting to note when a interviewer asked BARRERA who was the hardest puncher he had ever faced B said hamed and his right

[BoomBoom]

That wasprobably the happiest ive been afer a fight including my own. Barrera couldnt have won in better way. Just thinking about that fight makes me happy.

You are dreaming if you think Hamed could have beaten PACMAN . Look at who Pac has beaten ?
Look at Hameds remsume.
I agree PACMAN'S style would be better for Hamed , but also the far better fighter PACMAN would also be able to hit Hamed easily and KO him.

It does annoy me that so many people see the negative side of Naz though and remember him for that. The guy was defeated once and won near every title there was at Featherweight. He also beat some quality fighters and above all else, he was exciting. People hated his cockiness, but for me it made him. He was ultra confident.

For me, people will be saying the same negative things about Amir Khan in 20 years from now.

I hated Naz, and cheered every punch Barrera landed on him. But I dissagree with the people that says he was a bum, and that he got shown up by the first real fighter he met. At his best he'd have given Barrera a much tougher fight, and would definitely given Pac a tough fight too.

He was a gifted fighter and certainly no bum, but he was no great either as he didn't have the right attitude to come back after taking his lumps.

WISE WORDS TO END THIS POST

[katfight]

thought u mite like this

[Tam Seddon]

I thought that neather man really put there foot on the pedal and when they did Barrea had done enough. I dont believe both men were at their best so it was a bit of a shame, Hamed just looked lazy IMO and Barrera couldnt work off that and when he did he won the rounds and won the fight!

[katfight]

that night Barrera didnt really need to put his foot on the pedal


his face wen he got a point deducted for example

he was like yeah whateva i wont need it
