Barrera vs Morales III - Thoughts

Agreed! and if it were a 15 round fight, EM might have KO'd MAB

 

to me they are 1-1-1...first one a draw and the last to barrera...

 

Stick to dominos.

I scored this fight 114-114 (6 rds each)

I cannot accept a greater margin than 115-113 either way, that would be plain bull**** biased rubbish.

Rds 3 & 4 were the hardest to score in the entire fight IMO... if you give MAB both rds then he wins 7-5... if you give EM both rds then he wins 7-5.... as it is I scored rd 3 to MAB & 4 to EM hence my score of 6-6.

1 - MAB
2 - EM
3 - MAB
4 - EM
5 - MAB
6 - MAB
7 - EM
8 - EM
9 - MAB
10 - MAB
11 - EM
12 - EM

1st & 3rd fights deserved to be a draw before a win for either man IMO but since they got 1 each then it evens out anyway.
Morales won the 2nd fight comfortably.


Botswana :smoke

 

I am one of the few that thinks that Morales won that last fight. Barrera took early rounds but faded BIGTIME. He was out on his feet towards the end of the fight.

 

They both were fading.

They just continued fighting each other on pure hate, muscle memory and adrenaline in the last rounds.

 

EpsilonAxis.... Im also suprised that there are not more people that scored this fight even or a win for Morales.

I think its those back to back rds 3 & 4 that most give MAB (I gave MAB rd 3 & EM rd 4) enabling him to win 115-113 but those 2 rds were so close, if Erik gets both then he wins, most seem content to give them to the underdog.

Im not suggesting there was any hidden agenda as far as the judges goes but if MAB didnt win that fight he was all done as an elite fighter as he lost to Pac big 2 fights before, Morales III was the career saving fight for MAB.

Morales went into that 3rd fight ranked p4p no2 behind Hopkins with Mayweather 3rd (hard to believe when you look at them now) so there was always a way back for him.

On a different day with different judges fighting the exact same fight, Erik could have easily got the verdict.

The decision wasnt wrong because it was so close, same as the 1st fight, it was too close but dont get me started on that 2nd fight, that fight ****in kills me, boxing politics at its worst.
