In the 5th, it was all Barrera, dropping Parker twice and the referee called out the contest when Parker was about to drop a third time, bouncing off the ropes. The second knockdown sent Parker entirely across the canvas which tied him up in the ropes for a brief moment.
Barrera’s pedigree was a bit more polished and gave an exciting finish for himself who has fast hands and is generally ranked in the top ten at light heavyweight.
