    Nobody won this fight clearly & Morales deserved rd 9 because MAB had a nice start & a good 3 punch combo to end the rd but Erik was outlanding him at least 2 to 1 for 80% of the rd.

    Anyway, here is my score......

    1- Barrera (close)
    2- Barrera (close but clear enough)
    3- Morales (close)
    4- Morales (close)
    5- Morales (clear)
    6- Morales (close)
    7- Morales (close but clear enough)
    8- Barrera (close)
    9- Morales (close)
    10- Morales (clear)
    11- Even
    12- Barrera (clear but not a 10-8 because there was no real KD)


    116-113 Morales

    Best fight ever & no real losr in this fight IMO.

    :thumbsup

    I thought Morales won the first 2 but they were very close and hard to score. I thought Marco won the 3rd one clearly.

    Had the first for Barrera, the second for Morales and third for Barrera. First two were very close fights, the third was a clear victory for Barrera.

    Actually, I had a draw. The rounds were too damn close for me to pick a winner.
    That was one hell of a fight, that's for sure !

    Barrera 9-3 plus the kd, it wasnt even close, Barrera battered Morales senseless in some rounds too

    Barrera clearly won the 1st one. El Terible kicked his ass with one eye in the 2nd one. Barrera clearly won the 3rd one.

    I have 0 respect for the boxing judgement of anyone that would utter such garbage.

    If any man won all 3 it was Morales because he DEFINITELY won the 2nd fight & the other 2 fights were 50/50 fights that could have gone either way with no complaints.

    Come back when your 14 son.

    I actually agree, bud. My scorecards all read Barrera victories. In each fight, he punished Morales, even the razor thin 1st and second fights. I thought the third was clear, and almost not close. 7-5 with an arguement to 8-4, Barrera.

    Both guys get crazy credit for these 3 fights, and both guys should, great fights. But, the rivalry is 2-1, Barrera, and that is how history will remember it. Morales still has that win over Pacquiao, and that is a big one, but he was beaten by Barrera twice, and most will agree with that. He lost that trilogy.

    The only fight Morales could have won was the second but I had it to Barrera, although it could be 7-5 in Morales favour

    I had Mab winning the 1st and 3rd fight clearly

    i had Morales winning the 2nd fight but it wasnt that clearly, it felt like a fight that could of gone to either fighter.

    Regardless of what you say it's clear from his words that Morales does feel robbed.

    I thought the first fight was the easiest fight to score.A clear 115-112 win for Barrera.
