Barera v.s. Morales II was one of the biggest robberies in boxing.

    Morales won the fight clearly. No doubt about it.

    I blame Floyd and Haymon. Vegas is in their pocket, he must have bet on Morales.

    But many thought Barrera won the first fight so I always thought it evened out.

    The first fight was very close that could have gone either way but the second one was not. Morales won it a thousand times watching VDO.

    Let me guess. You scored the 3rd fight a draw or had Morales slightly ahead but can "see" how anyone else score it for MAB.

    Barr era clearly won the first fight for me and they wanted a trilogy.

    Barrera clearly and I mean clearly got jobbed in the first Morales fight. It wasn't like when be boxed Marquez and it could have gone either way but a few bad calls by the ref and judges made it seem like a wide decision. Barera clearly beat Morales in that fight and didn't get it. I haven't seen their second and third fight but let's get the facts straight about their first fight.

    I thought Morales won the 2nd fight, which I have watched more often than the other two fights.

    I found the first fight much closer.

    Both were great fighters.

    Overall I preferred Morales in that particular trilogy.

    :deal

    I got the triology 2-1 for Morales. The first fight was close as hell. If you scored on activity you give it to Morales, if you scored on cleaner punches then probably scored it for Barrera.

    Seems the judges try to make,up for the scoring from the first fight should have been

    Barrera
    Morales
    Barrera

    Not a Morales
    Barrera

    The first 2 fights should have had opposite winners. No biggie. Still 2-1 Barrera

    The first two fights were scored wrongly but the second basically evened out the first and eventually led to the rubber match so we can't complain.

    Pretty much. Not like it would've changed the outcome. They still fought three hard fights that will go in the history books as the greatest fights in boxing history!
