(11/12/10) Translation/Video: Morales & Barrera Break Down Their 1st Fight & Pacquiao

that was awesome!

I was half expecting Barrera to have a got at Morales right there and then after some of the comments from Morales

 

You're all very welcome.

I do agree that Morales was pushing it with some of his comments; I'm surprised MAB simply stood there. Though I did see him clench his fists and hunch over a bit towards the end there. I suppose he's entitled to his opinion; MAB "stealing the rounds" simply isn't how most people would characterize his effectiveness, IMO.

MAB had the contract on Golpe A Golpe before Marquez, if I'm correct. They switched off for a while. Also, I think he'd make things awkward. The Fab 4 Featherweights all have a cycle of bitterness between them, IMO.

I found it interesting Morales would give Pacquiao a false target and then maximize his height to counter with a straight. Also, I noticed that he's right about movement; it's not just about circling left around Pacquiao, but behind him. I wondered why it didn't work for Cotto and other fighters, and it was because they circled too far outside.

 

The door is that way. grown-ups are speaking.

 

:thumbsupThat was a wonderful gesture,taking the time to translate this.I know it's been said but I'd just like to say thanks.Brings back wonderful memories.A fabulous thread.:thumbsup

 

:good

 

thank you for this i dont see much of barrera lately and i just miss watching him in the sport

 

Now there is a fabulous and all too rare post.
Well done indeed.thumbsup

 

so out of interest have they swapped marquez for barrera now on golpe de golpe also since you watch all this stuff and may know more about it then i can find out in the uk is barrera fighting again or is he done now?

 

Marco's right about the trilogy,you don't want to tear the hole out of it.
Vasquez-Marquez?:think:nono

 

I believe it's the other way around; Barrera seems to be in a lot of the older videos, whereas Marquez has been on as a commentator consistently for about a year at least. From what I've heard, Barrera hasn't yet retired.

 

ye sorry i meant has marquez took the job i just typed it wrong lol and yeah i cant really decide i mean i dont wanna see him fight and look past it because it is quite painful to watch....but like the arias fight earlier this year i do enjoy watching him showcase his skills

 

I think I am a true fan of Barrera and for that reason I hope he does retire.Thanks for the memories,and thank YOU for a wonderfully inspired and insightful thread.:thumbsup

 

Anytime! I'm glad fans like yourself and others who've posted really appreciate the effort I put into it. It's a real treat to hear legends break down their greatest weapons and tactics, and I thought, why leave anglos in the dark about such things? I just couldn't let it go on.

 

:thumbsup there should be an US version of this show as well.

 

I'd gladly volunteer as the next "Announcer Dude."
