    I scored this 3rd fight a draw personally but if Morales had come in seeing Marco as a legit threat - as he did in the previous 2 fights - would Morales have whupped Marco`s ass like he was his daddy ?

    :good Yes. Did he even warm up in the dressing room before the fight? or train for the fight?

    3000+ posts and every one of them is either nutlicking Morales or bashing MAB and JCC.

    Don't you get tired of it?

    Why wouldnt Erik see MAB as a legit threat in their 3rd fight?

    Heck, even if Team Morales knew for certain that MAB was totally shot, they'd still prepare 100% for the fight because Erik hates MAB's guts so much and he'd wanna beat the guy up so bad.

    Nope, Morales said himself, he felt slow and sluggish that night. I had that fight a draw too.

    barrera took the third fight easy, it was the easiest fight of the trilogy to score. barrera controlled the fight, how anyone can score it a draw is beyond me.

    morales always fealt that barrera wasn't in the same league as him, he probably still does. morales got robbed in the second, and he was so pissed of in the third that he came out with no game plan, wheras barrera sticked to what he had been told and controlled the fight.

    the fight should have been a draw...a judge score 10th round even when it is a clear morales round

    Morales mistakes in the trilogy is when he warred with MAB......MAB always got the better of the exchanges when the warred on the inside because he was a much faster handed fighter.

    When Morales used his reach and boxed, he was clearly the better boxer.....as he showed in the 2nd fight when he got robbed.

    Morales never underestimated MAB, he just let his ego get the best of his better judgment and warred with MAB.

    Btw, I also scored the 3rd fight a draw.

    They split the first six rounds right down the middle. The second half of the fight they went to war and MAB pretty swept the second half of the fight. I think most of you ******s that say this **** didn't watch the fight. The third fight wasn't even that close.

    Watch the goddam fights before you post, ******s.

    No Barrera just used him as a stepping stone in his comeback again.

    Barrera won the third fight 9 rounds to 3. Dont know about all this draw nonsense. It was a Barrera domination.

    Saying Morales got robbed in the 2nd and then claiming he earned a draw in the rubber match is pure comedy.:patsch

    I have Barrera winning all 3 fights in their trilogy.

    I can definitely understand people disagreeing with me, but Erik had 3 chances to whup Marco like his daddy, and in actuality, got busted and beaten up on all three tries.

    it's hard for me to say he underestimated him, but I do think Morales could have fought a better fight, and I also think he's the better fighter. However... Barrera won that fight fair and square. It's probably the only fight were the scores weren't all messed up.
