There were distractions that surrounded my camp prior to the fight” said Barrera. But he also made it clear that those distractions should not take away from Manny Pacquiao’s (38-2-ko’s30-draw 1) victory Saturday night in front of a shocked and astonished pro Barrera crowd at the Alamodome in San Antonio,Texas. Barrera (57-4-ko’s40) admitted that being forced to leave Big Bear California’s training camp due to the wild fires two weeks sooner than what was expected and the focus on his brain surgery that caused him to miss a days training when he was forced to travel to Houston to conduct more test on his head played a role in the distractions leading up to the fight. However; he made it very clear that Pacquiao was the better fighter that night.
