    that was awesome!

    I was half expecting Barrera to have a got at Morales right there and then after some of the comments from Morales :lol:

    You're all very welcome.

    I do agree that Morales was pushing it with some of his comments; I'm surprised MAB simply stood there. Though I did see him clench his fists and hunch over a bit towards the end there. I suppose he's entitled to his opinion; MAB "stealing the rounds" simply isn't how most people would characterize his effectiveness, IMO.

    MAB had the contract on Golpe A Golpe before Marquez, if I'm correct. They switched off for a while. Also, I think he'd make things awkward. The Fab 4 Featherweights all have a cycle of bitterness between them, IMO.

    I found it interesting Morales would give Pacquiao a false target and then maximize his height to counter with a straight. Also, I noticed that he's right about movement; it's not just about circling left around Pacquiao, but behind him. I wondered why it didn't work for Cotto and other fighters, and it was because they circled too far outside.

    I believe it's the other way around; Barrera seems to be in a lot of the older videos, whereas Marquez has been on as a commentator consistently for about a year at least. From what I've heard, Barrera hasn't yet retired.

    Anytime! I'm glad fans like yourself and others who've posted really appreciate the effort I put into it. It's a real treat to hear legends break down their greatest weapons and tactics, and I thought, why leave anglos in the dark about such things? I just couldn't let it go on.
