    This is what action meant.

    There are people who actually counted Barrera out and felt that it was a confirmation of Morales as the successor to Chavez Sr.

    Boy did they get it wrong.

    There were times when Barrera did nothing but wait for a flurry. He was being out worked really bad.

    do not retract your statement i am quite sure every boxing fan would disagree with your statement of "morales dominated barrera "

    I don't remember the odds exactly, but Barrera showed us what he truly is made of. Seems like Junior Jones fight was just a bad case of styles.

    He dominated. He won easily. The judges all had him ahead by a lot. Even the knockdown wasn't enough for a draw.

    Everyone counted him out. He got KTFO against Jones and looked awful against Maurin. Morales was supposed to be the next Chavez in this fight but Barrera won the event, no doubt.

    There was even a story ringside that a bettor actually never took his money calling it "tainted" due to what he felt about the decision.

    I never thought Barrera would be able to land three punch after three punch combo against him.

    Damn you Babe, I'm viewing it on youtube now. :lol:
