    The rivalary was always obvious anyway. They were on a collision course, and I think a part of Marco made him resent Erik for taking over his spot as a HBO attraction after the Jones losses. They took part in an amateur soccer game, Barrera was pretty good at it, and they almost came to blows the rumor has it. There was animosity even before Marco threw a punch at the press conference for their second fight. Both talkin **** about the other in the press, and Erik hated how nobody gave him any credit for their first fight.

    ...It was destined to get personal.

    I had it 3-0 but it could have conceivably been 2-0-1 for Morales. Fights simply don't get closer then their first and second encounters.

    2-1 Barrera for me with the 1st and 2nd fights reversed.

    Every time I watch the first one I have him winning by a couple of rounds.

    I had Morales edging the first one but I've only seen it once. I always wonder whether MAB got the decision after getting robbed in the first one and to set up the trilogy.

    The 3rd one was clearly for Barrera.

    Marco got the decision because it was a razor close 12 rounds of combat. He did finish very strongly in the 12th and that might have swayed the judges, but I don't buy the conspiracy theories. One of the most evenly matched fights I've ever seen.

    Morales stole Barrera's cat and sold it to mobsters, then Barrera spread a rumour saying that Moralez was a homosexual, or how they say it spanish a "homosexual".

    Never seen the 3rd fight for some reason but so far I have it 1-1, with completely the opposite verdicts.

    I was gonna agree until I read that last line then you fkd yourself high up the arse.

    Morales is the only one of the 2 that can argue the HE won all 3 because fights 1 & 3 were razor thin either way & fight 2 was a CLEAR win for Erik Morales, any **** that knows how to score a fight that doesnt have Barrera`s dick in their mouth can see this.

    Im outta here, Ive had to explain this **** far too many times & its always to the same Barrera, delusional fanboys.

    I'm a fan of them both Mr Butcher, and am I right in saying, despite everything, Barrera rates EM in his top 5 Mexican fighters ?

    1-0-2 for Morales is the fairest score.

    Fight 1 was even as hell, fight 3 was even as hell, fight 2 however was a definite Morales victory, he won 8 rds & was denied a legit KD in rd 7 as well, it was boxing politics at its worst in order to make a trilogy.... its the part of boxing that makes me sick.

    Barrera`s full of ****, always has been, he thinks he`s smarter than everyone.... he only rates Morales at no5 & not himself so that most fans will say `Oh, how respectful of Marco, thats class but hold on, if Marco is 2-1 up & Erik is in the top 5 then maybe Marco should be in the top 5 also, after all he`s just a humble guy`

    **** OUTTA HERE

    I see the little worm for what he is.

    As far as I see it, it is 2-1 Barrera

    1st one is super close I had MAB edge it by a point.

    2nd one a Morales win

    3rd MAB win about the same closeness as the 2nd fight but opposite way, close but clear IMO

    But I'm no exactly on your level at judging fights

    Bill Butcher and i'm sick of arguing the same point with you.

    NO WAY MORALES WINS 1 or 3 NO ****ING WAY. The only one which is debatable is number 2. Either way Barrera got the better of the 3 fights overall.

    Its literally as simple as that.

    Now practice what you preach and 'Stay outta here' :good
