    This is one of Marco Antonio Barrera's finest performances as a Super Bantamweight in my opinion. Eddie Croft was a decent fighter who had just gone the distance with IBF Featherweight Champion, Tom Johnson, but he was taken apart here by a 21 year old Barrera.

    I watched that earlier today.

    I like Barrera's performance and win over Mckinney more than Erik's over past it Zaragoza, personally.

    Just watched that a few hours ago (started my Morales career set santa brought me). Over the first half of the fight Zaragoza had plenty of moments. His wild swinging right hands kept on clipping Morales and made him slightly tentative. Later on El Terrible released uppercuts and body shots which could not miss. Great performance from Zaragoza and evreything considered a nice one from Morales too. I think Morales was really unique as if his fight was not a all-out brawl he would fight down to his opponents level. Yet he found it hard to outbrawl Daniel as Zaragoza used clinching very well. Interesting fight too watch.

    I couldn't disagree more. I don't think Morales looked very good at all in that one, actually.

    Barrera being Barrera. At his combo-punching best. I've always considered him the best of the Mexican trio in that regard, even if JMM has the better uppercut.

    Some aspects of Barrera's game always reminded me of Eusebio Pedroza. Mean little *******, lol.
