what a fight, barrera dominate the first six rounds and morales battled back to win 7,8,9. The 10th,11th, and 12th, were dope as hell and a hellish slugfest. But at the end of the night it was marco that took a well deserved decision. It was a great sight to see and barrera has once again rejuvinated his carrear.
morales-barrera III best fight of the year.
- Thread starter caff
- Start date
I agree, not only is it the fight of the year but it's perhaps the best trilogy of all time.
I didn't think the fight was as close as the judges will lead you to believe. I mean rounds 7 and 8 were the only rounds that Moralez was able to clearly win.
But the last two rounds were classic!
Probably the best round 11 and 12 of all time.
Both fighters were drained, especially Barrera but yet both found the will to throw in spite of their fatigue.
It was great to see Barrera pull it together for yet another upset under his belt.
Not since Ali have I witnessed a fighter dig deep down into their souls to pull out a performance and pull an upset in more than one occasion, where they were supposed to be shot fighters.
This is one of the main reasons why I've yet to quit on a sport that I'm so frustrated with lol
Amazing....

Now lets see Barrera versus Marquez.
Granted that Marquez gets past Pacquiao in Feb.
But I am certain that Marquez will easily beat Pacquiao in their rematch.
I would've loved to see Barrera fight Pacquiao again, but oh well.
Maybe down the road.
And Hamed is supposed to return next year too,
Barrera has a handful of options now....
RevoL that's tight dogg.
I feel bad for not puttin money on Barrera, but I had my doubts since they were fighting at 130 lbs.
A weight class that Barrera has never fought in....
But my doubts started to go away on Friday when Barrera revealed his new muscular look.
I almost dropped cash on him when he was even a 3-1 underdogg.
Congrats dogg!
