Dapat ituloy angsulong ng laban pacquiao versus barrera
Si Barrera ang No.1 contender ngayon ng Super Featherweight Championship. Pangalawa lamang ang pambansang kampeon na si Manny Pacquiao. Datapwa’t na ituloy niya angsulong ng laban nya kontra sa pambato ng Mexico na si Erik Morales. Dapat pa rin ituloy angsulong ng laban nila ni Marco Antonio Barrera, para mapunta na sa kanya ang titulong No.1. Bagamat meron karagdagang bayaran ang nagdadala ng championship belt mas maganda pa rin kung ituloy angsulong ni pacquiao ang laban para malaman talaga kung sino ang no.1 at ang tunay na kampeon.
Excerpt from hbo:
Barrera is playing it safe, and Pacquiao is still reaching with those long punches, if not with the absolute ferocity of the first two thirds of the fight. Barrera moves evasively and keeps his back off the ropes. Pacquiao follows, always on the hunt (in any other fight, I would caution that following a boxer around will lead you into trouble. But it doesn’t seem possible for Barrera to gain that kind of control tonight). Both fighters are subdued a bit in this round. The very final moments see some flashes of power: In close trading, the damage is fairly even with Manny initiating and Marco Antonio taking punches in order to give them. In general this fight has taken quite a toll on him.
