    Fellas,

    As much as I dig the first fight of 2000 between Erik Morales and Marco A. Barrera, I still say neither the rematch or rubber match ever came close to topping the original fight at 122 pounds...

    This epic from HBO back in 2000 was what boxing is all about. 'Nuff said..

    Also, it was "Regular" HBO in 2000... Incredible...

    Yes, I thought Morales had it early on, but Barrera came on strong later and deserved the decision in my book... Great war...

    C'mon back with thoughts...:hey:good

    yeah that was like watching a video game fight come
    to life. one of the most exciting fights of all-time. i
    agree, i thought barrera should have gotten the nod
    in the first one (though i thought morales should have
    in the second).

    Thoughts? Simply put, Barrera vs Morales I is the single greatest fight I have ever seen in my life. I score it differently virtually every time I watch it. Jaw-dropping exchanges, shifts in momentum, immaculate skills and technique on show involving two of the greatest Mexicans of all time at their peak. What more can you say?

    Lucky *******.

    One of the best bouts ever, credit to both guys, great skill, great war, two winners in this bout for me. What boxing is about.

    I think that MAB egded it.

    What was it like being in the crowd there Vato?

    Well it was electric and there were more Morales fans put it this way i loss my voice for almost a week... I knew this would be a great fight but never imagined this great... And i only paid 50$ for my ticket:D And to think i was almost gonna pay 71$ each for 3 tickets to see Canelo and Hatton last weekend:patsch Only think i was pissed off about was losing the money that i laid down on Barrera who was 2 to 1 underdog when i layed down my bet. I felt robbed along with MArco at least at the time.... I felt Barrera won the fight but obviouslyit wasnt a robbery but a pretty close decision... Ive scored it numerous times and always have Marco winning by 1 or 2 points... Watching it live i had him by 2 points.
