i have been transferring all my old tapes onto dvd of late and today when putting morales barrera 1 onto dvd i was watching the post fight interview with mab and who was standing directly behind marco not only but frank warren and i thought wtf is he doing there??? did he have some sort of dealings with barrera back then or are my vhs tapes really bolloxed from being stored for so long
Warren did have some sort of promotional ties with Barrera during the late 90's/early 00's. Barrera actually fought at the Royal Albert Hall on a Warren show, stopping Paul Lloyd. On the same bill was Ricky Hatton, Danny Williams-Julius Francis, Takaloo, Ensley Bingham, Toks Owoh and Nigel Benn's cousin Michael Bowen.
I think Warren was attached to Barrera when the Mexican was over fighting Wenton and Lloyd in England a year before the Morales fight. It must stem from that.
What?!?:huh A 50-50 match-up between two world class fighters???:think That doesn't sound like Frank.
Nah, it was a great prank. Suckered everyone in I would say; it was one of those "I want to believe its true, so it must be true" moments. I can't believe the lounge lizards gave you such an easy ride.
My respect for Warren has went up. Warren > Every other current British promoter Sad, but true (Hayemaker prove me wrong).
