    BS my ass it was a close fight.

    As the scorecards clearly show it.

    Watch it again but this time with your goggles on.

    I remember the rematch being very close too.

    Been years since i watched it, though.

    Junior Jones was actually the reason Morales was a 5-1 favourite over Barrera in their first fight, just shows styles do in fact make fights.

    Close as in Barrera won about 3-4 rounds, sure, maybe 5 if you're his mum, take the Barrera nut goggles off and you'll see

    It was more competitive than it was close. Jones clearly won that fight, Barrera was too tentative.

    Only a dumbass would say like you did that it was a very very clear win for Jones.

    Thats like saying it was a whitewash and Barrera was never in the fight.

    But as we all know you have a tendency to see things that nobody else sees.

    This is just another case :deal

    Well, and the fact that Morales was KO'ing mofos like crazy.

    Did you ever see Barrera/Maurin? awful, awful awful fight, undercard of Botha/Briggs :-(

    I see things you don't see because Barrera's sweaty balls are planted firmly over your field of vision

    When did I say it was a white wash? I said it was a clear decision that couldn't have gone MAB's way

    Very very clear decision is like saying it was a white wash.
    You're either basing this on not seeing the fight or you gave all the close rounds to the black guy either of these things wouldnt surprise me.

    And you dont see things i dont see you dont see things that the majority see and thats an habitual thing maybe its just your way of drawing attention to you aka attention whoring.

    Never seen that Barrera fight actually.... & yes, Morales was like a force of nature at 122, one of those KO victims just happened to be Junior Jones (TKO4) as well, EM & MABs only common opponent at the time.

    By clear clear decision, I mean there's no case to give it to Barrera, none. Anyone who says otherwise is a blatant MAB nuthugger, which you seem to be, yet you try to accuse others of bias.

    I'm trying to pinpoint who you are, are you the guy who whines about Mayweather all day like a spurned girlfriend?

    Oh wait you're not that **** who's a MARGARITO nuthugger are you?

    Getting him square on the button with a bomb had a lot to do with why that happened.

    Immediate rematch was an awful idea. Barrera fought with the sole intention of not getting hit with a similar missile, and ended up just not asserting himself. He showed that he had the skills to possibly beat Jones, but Jones, by taking him out in fight one, had robbed from him the necessary grit to fight the kind of fight that would yield victory.

    Simple as that. Fight 1 is good proof that blocking power shots with your face is a flaw, not a virtue. Fight 2, that it is very, very hard to conquer a man who conquered you.

    I'm a huge MAB fan, and I'm glad these fights happened to him. His defense began to improve leaps and bounds after these fights. No way he'd have done the finetuning to beat Hamed in style without the Jones fights to show him technical and defensive finetuning was needed.
