    I consider it a clear win for JMM, but MAB should have gotten that KD to make it fairly close on the cards. Not ******ed to think MAB won, but definitely wishful thinking.

    I thought the first fight was a clear win for Barrera after that 12th round KD.
    The second was close and could have gone either way, but I had 115-114 for Morals.
    The third one I had 115-113 for Barrera.

    the 3rd fight was clearly a mab win, and that is coming from an EM fan.

    it was clear as day for me then. if i remember it right i got mab ahead by 3 points then. it would have been weird to score it as a draw when majority of the rounds were won by MAB.

    EM let his heart and passion ruin his fight when he could have easily won the fight from a comfortable distance instead of brawling with MAB in that fight.

    Somebody has to win, somebody else has to lose. There is no point in over interpreting what happened.

    Look at the demeanour of both fighters at the end of the fight. Barrera knows he's won, Morales knows he's lost. Erik must have been listening to the biased HBO commentary I guess.
