    After watching the first fight again at the end Morales and Barrera seem to offer respect to each other but then for the promotion of the rematch punches were thrown at the press conference what caused this change in attitude between the warriors?

    This, plus the most important factor, both were world-class talents in the same division at the same time. Plus, disputed decisions.

    Barrera is the ''rich'' one.

    But in reality he as middle class.He was rich compared to Morales who was flat out poor.

    Barrera was very critical of Morales because El Terrible got a contract with HBO so out jealousy Barrera began the trash talk. This was the main reason. So things really got heated up for the rematch.

    I loved it after the 3rd fight when the decision was read, Barrera held up 2 fingers in Morales face like if he was rubbing it in. :lol:

    Barrera was born in the middle class where his father worked for a television station building sets, and was very well off and didn't need to fight. He also graduated from college as a lawyer.

    Morales was **** poor in the El Norte area in Tijuana, one of the roughest neighborhoods in the city, who fought his way up from the very bottom. Barrera in his trash talking used to call him an Indio (indian), which got Morales's blood boiling.

    Just before that Barrera came over to acknowledge Morales but Erik responded by throwing a water bottle which hit Barrer's father if I recall correctly.
