    55:30 into the vid for the combination that hurt Morales and the delayed reaction knockdown.

    Morales legs were shot for a second, which is all a knockdown takes at the top level.

    Legit, or bad call?

    Discuss!

    It didn't look like Morales was hurt at all when he got up. He just slipped but the ref. couldn't see it clearly since he was standing at their backs. It's not his fault.

    This was one of the real close fights in the boxing history. I would have no problem if Barerra won the fight.

    I think he fell over to be honest. Hard call for the ref I suppose with Barrera swinging beforehand.

    Nah, But Morales did drop Barrera in thier rematch with a straight right to the body (even through it was called a slip) That was the same shot he stopped Zaragoza with.

    Whether or not he caused the delayed fall with it, Barrera did **** Morales' world up for a moment with that combo.

    Right there, it looks to me as if Morales was going to slip that lead left hook from Barrera, and was both hurt and exhausted and off-balance, so he fell. I think I would rather it have been ruled a slip, but the 10 seconds (and 11 rounds) prior and Marco Antonio Barrera clearly had something to do with why his legs would get him go down to begin with.

    Seconds before he took the knee Barrera almost ripped Morales' head off with a left hook and followed it with a combination. THEN Barrera leaned on Morales' head after "missing" a left hook and El Terrible used it as an opportunity to take a knee thinking the ref would rule a slip and it backfired.

    Therefore

    Barrera made Morales TAKE A KNEE!

    I think it is really Morales getting slipped but his cause wasn't helped by Barrera pummeling on him.

    His legs has been sapped by the non-stop barrage and hooks to the liver.

    I feel he took a knee due to sheer exhaustion, barrera landed some nasty shots ight before it...

    Not that it really matters because they still robbed barrera of the win (he got a gift in the second so i suppose its ok)
