6-5-1

Some of these rounds were murder to score. You could have had it for Barrera, Morales, or even draw - just like their first fight.

 

I think there's a misconception that Morales outboxed Barrera threw six rounds. The first round could have gone either way, I was being generous to Morales by giving it to him. They both tried to outbox the other, and Morales got the benefit of the doubt because he was a 2-1 underdog going in. Barrera was expected to go in there and show his superiority and it never happened, so they favored Morales - at least the commentary did. It was a close fight, could have gone either way.

 

:-( No robbery mate.

 

:good I'm a notorious Barrera fan, but that is clearly what I saw. I also quite enjoyed the fight, I didn't think it was boring. Fascinating to see two greats like that have a chess match.

 

The first round and 11th could have been Barrera rounds, and purely on that basis, given how close they were, this fight should never be categorized as a robbery. That said, I have no issues with your scorecard.
