Do you guys think MAB was robbed here? I scored 117-112 for MAB, just wondered what everyone else thinks......
i agree, many of the rounds were tight and perhaps with a 2nd view i may well come up with a closer score, maybe a couple of points closer but i think MAB got jobbed a little here. Great fight tho.........
I had this for Barrera and the rematch for Morales. I'll score it in months time but I'm very sure Barrera won but not in a dominating fashion as it was close. Barrera should've gotten the decision. My heart cries "robbery!" but mind is saying "Calm down, you're just speaking from the adrenaline from viewing a classic,action-packed fight".
Other than for statistics, i dont think it matters who officially wins this type of fight. Both of their stocks skyrocket, its a win/win
Had Barrera by three points every time I scored it. He just did a ton more damage. I can buy the argument in some rounds that Morales landed more, but a majority of his offense seemed to bounce off MAB, and when MAB would attack, Morales would go backward, and then usually absorb something hateful looking on the ropes. The series ended the right way though- Barrera 2, Morales 1. I just watched all three about a week ago, and Morales probably deserved to win the 2nd fight. So, at the very least, they traded wins when that was appropriate. Barrera won the 3rd fight 7-5, pretty clearly.
One of the closest fights I've ever seen. Morales is more active, Barrera lands the harder, cleaner shots. The 10/8 score in the 12th is bogus, and I tend to score the first round for Morales whereas everyone else scores it for Barrera. It's true, Marco started well, but the remaining minute and a half of that round was pretty much all Erik. The last time I scored it...I had it either a draw or a slight win for Barrera. I can't quite remember. Very close fight. Not a robbery.
