Barrera is training hard and has had a great camp without distractions like from the first fight. Pacquiao has been goofing off and enjoy his godlike status in the Philipines and not really focusing on the fight. Here goes a quick points run. Physical ability - we all know Pacquiao hits harder and faster. This was how Pacquiao won the first fight and not much has changed since. +1 Pacquiao Skill - Barrera actually has a defense and uses the jab very well as seen from the Juarez fights . +1 Barrera Style - Barrera is more refined as a boxer but he lost the first fight too easily in my opinion. Pacquiao's 1-2 combinations hit Barrera again and again and again. That happened way back when Pacquiao was still a one-armed fighter. Times have changed and I don't think Pacquiao's style is going to be any different. The worst part of it all is that older fighters have always had the most trouble against swarming pressure styles - think back to Kostya Tszyu. +2 Pacquiao Age - It has been 4 years since their first fight and Barrera has already shown up to be the "old man" in his recent fights. He actually gets tired now. Pacquiao has been pretty dominant since then while Barrera has had way too many close calls. +2 Pacquiao Hunger - I think Barrera REALLY wants to avenge this fight against Pacquiao. The only problem is that at the end of the day, I think Barrera will consider it a moral victory just by not getting knocked out by Pacquiao. I think he wants to prove to himself that he could do better, but not necessarily look to prove himself as the superior fighter at this stage in his life. When push comes to shove, I think Barrera will be happy just making the fight close and come out with a decision loss. Pacquiao probably doesn't even want this fight at all. +1 Barrera Heart - Barrera has the heart of a champion, he will not let anyone beat him to the ground. He WILL fight back. Pacquiao however will not let anyone hit him and get away with it; he MUST have the last punch. - EVEN It's not hard to see why I got Pacquiao winning this fight easily. I wouldn't be amazed if Pacquiao overwhelms Barrera in 4 rounds but I'll give Barrera a chance to fight back and hold on for a few more rounds. I got Manny Pacquiao by 9th round TKO! .
