    It's been 20 years since the final showdown of the epic trilogy between Barrera and Morales took place. A great conclusion to an awesome heated rivalry.

    Hell of a battle, and one of my favorite fights to watch! I might have to dust off the VCR and rewatch this PPV later on.

    Indeed! I was in my late 20's early 30s during their trilogy. I was in awe while watching their first fight. I remember Larry Merchant's words while commentating live, "I am humbled". I knew exactly what he meant!

    Watched this in the last year. Terrific fight and end to a rivalry

    I remember them trading bare knuckle at the press conference or weigh in

    Yeah, MAB threw the first punch but I believe Morales got the better of that press conference exchange. They seemed to really hate each other at the time.

    I think I might have scored it 116-112 or 115-113 for MAB, but I admit to being a bit biased towards MAB.

    Yep, and then again more recently when the "old farts vs. each other and randos from social media, mma, etc." exhibition circus got trendy.

    I don't have a RBR scorecard but I always thought it was a clear win for Barrera in the region of 116-112/115-113 for me it's the only real clear win of the whole trilogy.
