The first fight was a clear win for MAB only someone who had Morales nuts in front of his eyes had that fight for Morales, i have seen that fight in four different broadcasts and all of them had the fight for Barrera, the public ringside who booed the decision had it for Barrera every major magazine and all the main media outlets had the fight for MAB heres what some headlines from the Various Leading Boxing Magazines of the time:

KO: "Defiling a Masterpiece: Morales and Barrera fought their Hearts out.....Then came the Decision"

The Ring: " 'I Pressed Him, I Hurt Him & I Beat Him'...There was nothing more Barrera could do but get Screwed!"

Boxing 2000: "Morales-Barrera: Boxing's Latest Scoring Fiaso! When the Wrong Guy Wins, Everybody Loses"

Boxing Monthly: "There Has to Be A 'But'...Morales and Barrera served up a truly classic Encounter, but the decision left rightsiders scratching their heads"

"One Point, Five Points, close or convincing, the thought that was foremost in my mind and that of most others, was that, REGARDLESS of the Margin, Barrera had won."

Only someone from Morales family,a nutthugger or someone who doesnt know how to score a fight had that fight for Morales.

As for the second one i dont have any problems with Morales winning that fight but it was a 7-5 type of decision, having it 8-3-1 Morales is just ridiculous might as well take nutthugging to another level and say Morales won that fight by KO.

The last fight of the trilogy i had it 7-5 for Marco Antonio Barrera yea Morales come on in the second half of the fight but it wasnt enough IMO for him to get a draw much less win.

In the end of the day there was some bad decisions (the first one for EM the second for MAB) but the official score of the trilogy is right and its 2-1 for Marco Antonio Barrera and nothing can change that, accept it or keep on denial i dont care it just is what it is H2H MAB> EM. Peace Out :good

Everybody has an opinion, I actually dont have a problem with the 2-1 score to Barrera... just as long as they admit that Morales won the 2nd fight (which ironically was when Barrera was in his best form of his career & Morales used his jab & movement :think) by the clearest margin of all 3 fights & the other 2 were very close fights, no robbery either way.... glad thats been sorted out :thumbsup

What started off as a nice, easygoing thread where we should have all simply wished him happy birthday and whatnot (which some did) it has fallen into a steaming cesspool of ****ing idiocy.
