Morales vs Barrera III is on! Morales signed the fight and it will be november 27th. This fight is gonna kick ass.

Who do you guys got for this fight?

Morales TKO.

Wtf?
Why did Morales take this fight?
What's left to prove against Barrera?
Barrera isn't much of anything these days.
Morales should be taking on Manny then moving up.
This is just ****ing stupid..

I dont know, i think this fight against Morales might make Barrera make the last effort in his career. This will truely be the last chance for him to get back on top.

Should be an exciting fight.

Should be an exciting fight.
Should be a boring fight.
After the way Barrera has been looking and how Morales has looked do you really expect it to be anywhere near close?
Morales is going to win this one easily.
Hopefully after this match Barrera retires or gets his ass kicked again by Manny so we don't have to see him again.

I really think that Morales should be fighting Manny and not Barrera.

This sucks. Who really wants to see another one of these? I guess since Barrera should have really won the 1st and Morales really the 2nd, we should end the trilogy with a draw because it seems like neither fighter knows how to properly close the show to seal the win. That or the judges are cross eyed in both fights. Show some balls already and face Manny. Stop regurgitating old crap that nobody wants to see. :mad:

:) Wow it's official!!!!! Thats amazing news, i take Morales by UD this time. This will be awesome, we have had a great year of amazing fights so far. Perhaps one of the best years in boxing in recent years.

THIS WILL BE MORE BORING THAN THE MARQUEZ-SALIDO FIGHT. PEOPLE WHO WILL WATCH THIS FIGHT SHOULD BRING THEIR BEDS.

SLEEPY FIGHT!!!!!!!

I guess i'm one of the few who is looking forward to this fight. I would have liked to see Morales take on Pac Man, but that stuff does't always work out. I'm sure if the public keeps demanding this fight it will eventully happen.

In Morales vs MAB, I hope to see a fight like the first one between these two and both guys will put on their best preformances because a lot is on the line for them. For Morlaes- to be mentioned in the same breath as Julio Casar Chavez. For MAB- to gain back the respect he lost against Pac Man and to show he is a great warrior like Morales.

I think the fight will be very entertainig and very hard faught, I'll go with Morales by UD.

Urrrgghhh, I mean OF COURSE I have to see it whether I want to or not but this is not what we all wanted. I don't think it wil be a snoozer but I don't think it will be fight of the year. Mediocre in my opinion. Morales UD also. It's too easy to call.

From all the interviews, it seems that Morales wants to fight Pac more than Barrera. It seems that the fans feels the same. I swear, if Arum get in an accident, I would not hesitate to smile. And I'm a good guy.

Boxing promoters are not listening to what the fightfans want. They only protect their invesments. That's why boxing as a sport is dying. Boxing result don't even merit a whole page in the newspaper. Before it used to get the front page!

Arum needs to wake up.

Arum needs to wake up.Re: Newspaper coverage: Sad and true! It's been that way for well over a decade now, save for a sprinkling of exceptions! The problem is the world of boxing is not democratic; We (the fans),it's ordinary citizens, have little say in our world's affairs! One of these days our ranks will thin even more as many would opt for other sports; including watching contraptions cobbled together by people with too much time on their hands catapult squash over the farthest distance. ESPN biggies have decided such an "event" merit some airtime even as they have tightened the screws on boxing since early this year :mad: ! So, don't be too surprised if the time comes! :(

Gotta see Morales/MAB. Only to see how Morales' fair for the Pac match.

exactly! that is why they want this to go on first. 'coz they still think that people will think the way you do now. making MAB as a medium of measurent between Pac and Morales.

exactly! that is why they want this to go on first. 'coz they still think that people will think the way you do now. making MAB as a medium of measurent between Pac and Morales.How you doin', Man? :) Yes, as a yardstick, it's need-to-watch, but I'm afraid it would be a replay of the two previous fights; only good for their times. After all, how many times can one stand replays of Rocky? Or Raging Bull? or, whatever? As medium of entertainment, then, it won't be neat to watch. As a sport-- specifically, boxing-- it won't come close to Pacquiao-Barrera in all respects. Now, THAT WAS A FIGHT! PACQUIAO-BARRERA!!! Good to hear from you again, ol' fella! :)

I still believe that MAB has something left in his system to beat Morales.

You don't count the heart of the champion out.

If you knew anything about boxing you would know that you cannot judge how a fighter would do against someone by looking at what they did against a common oponent especially when the oponents styles are so much different.

Going by the theory Junior Jones should have beaten Morales.

Jones KO's MAB, MAB beats Morales, So certanily a fighter who beat MAB would be able to beat Morales right?....WRONG.

Boxing is not black and white likr that.

Never said just because Pac beats MAB, Pac beats Morales. I said that Pac has the tools and favorable factors to be able to beat Morales. Not to give Pac a chance is just dumb.

We use MAB as a measuring stick because of how he got beat by PAC. No one, not Jones, not Morales, has ever beaten MAB like PAC. No one outscored him with 7-9 point deficit in the judges cards and no one has knocked Barrera down 3 times in a match. MAB took the worst beating of his career. At least for me, it's draws questions on exactly how he would fare against Morales.

morales by split decision, in the final chapter of this trilogy.
i dont think it will be a war like the first one but it should still be a good fight.

you said

Gotta see Morales/MAB. Only to see how Morales' fair for the Pac match.


Meaning to me that you wanted to watch MAB/Morales to see how Morales would do against MAB and compare how Pac did to how Morales did. Did I get the wrong impresion from this?

I take from that comment you never seen the 1st Junior Jones fight? Pac did not knock MAB down 3 times he knocked him down 2 times and stopped him in round 11, Jones knocked MAB down 2 times and stopped him in round 5.

Jones beat him up worse.

No, to see Morales' technique. How he would do against what MAB would throw at him, his power, speed. Morales would be in good shape. Then I can properly compare both boxers. I make a lil effort b4 throwing blind predictions.

Morales beat Barrera, Morales, beat Jones. It goes both ways so it ain't impossible. So if Pac can beat MAB, he can beat Morales..what you saying it's impossible?? :rolleyes:

Mab was knocked down once in the third. The sixth round ruled non-knockdown was a knockdown that wasn't called. A punch that brings you to the ground is a knockdown. Did you even see it?
That ref don't know ****, even gave a KD against pac when he slipped. Ridiculous.

And wasn't MAB DQed?

why would you want to see how Morales would do aginst MAB when they have already fought twice?

never said it was impossible for Pac to beat Morales, what I said was thay you cant judge how a fighter will do against someone by looking at what they did against common oponents.

Oh ok the ref just missed it.Dont seem to remember that,but I'll take your word for it.

He was DQ'ed cause his corner man jumped into the ring to stop the fight while MAB was helpless and Jones was tee'ing off on him.

Re: Morales/MAB That was then this is now.

why do you think I'm studying both boxer's styles. If Pac beats Morales, would I have been wrong in using MAB as a measuring stick?

As for the knockdown. Yeah you seem to have forgotten it. Or maybe I'm just dreaming like Merchant, Lampley and Steward after seeing the instant replay on three different angles slow motion. Yeah that must be it..

Ah I see. I only saw the rematch. Still, MAB took a baad beating :cool:

Yes considering Morales will fight a different fight against Pac than he would against MAB cause Pac and MAB are two fighters who fight in completely different ways.

must be

Would Morales throw weak punches? Would he try to fight slow? No. His power and speed are two things I would like to see. Is he fast on his feet? Would he avoid punches well? These elements are there no matter what style he's fighting in or what what style he is fighting against.

hmmm..naahh...you just forgot. Nice quote :)

its alright, only time will tell... my prediction is Pac goes down in the 8th gets back up to be put back down and not get up.

Morales gets the first clear knockdown of his career. Pac wins, ref stops the fight.

I just dont get you guys

I mean have you never seen Morales fight before? If you want to see him fight MAB hell they have fought twice already. Its not like he is some kid who has just come on the scene the guy has had 47 fights and 19 world title fights.

its alright, only time will tell... my prediction is Pac goes down in the 8th gets back up to be put back down and not get up.


Dont bother the Pac fans are just good for ignoring logic and making Pac avatars.

You don't make sense anymore.
I've seen probably 5-6 Morales' fights. What's your point? Who the heck said that that's what I wanted to see? I'm just saying that even though Pac aint fighting Morales, and MAB is fighting Morales then I'd still see the fight.

Hmm I don't agree with what you say so I ignore logic...nice...

again nice quote.

your the one contradicting yourself

in this post you say your looking to see if Morales does any of these things

then you answered with this when I asked if you have ever seen Morales

so in one post you say you want to see if Morales could do any of this stuff, then I respond with have you ever seen him fight and you come back with Who said I was looking for that stuff.

what!?!

and the quote is from a bet.

Like I said that was then this is now. I want to know how he is in his last fight. When I said "Who the heck said that's what I wanted to see" I was refering to the MAB/Morales cuz I wanted Pac/Morales. That was after you asked me why I wanted to see it if they fought twice already! It's like talking to a kid...Am I clear enough Sherlock?

I know about the bet. You called DLH unanimous or split eh? I guess we can't always be right with our predictions.

Oh right right right

so you respond to a question I didn't ask.

I asked you about watching his skill not if you wanted to see a 3rd MAB/morales fight

Oh right right right

ahhh...posts can be misinterpreted.

about watching his skill...I thought I answered that 3 times :rolleyes:

Anyweeyz, I'm done here.

Anyweeyz, I'm done here.

Good to know

iam so happy!!!

Looking back at this thread, it's funny how most folks (PacMan fans, obviously) thought MAB - EM III was gonna be a boring fight, and that EM should grow balls and face Manny, and the likes.

5 months and a Fight Of The Year later, I guess most of them would like to take their words back.

i just dont think you got the point of those comments. well let me just bring it to you anyway. Top Rank and EM was planning to move up after chosing a bout with MAB III and havent mentioned any plans on taking Pacman. then most Pac fans made those comments hoping it would reach EM and just to make him stay in his division to fight Pacaman. and now here they are getting ready to a fight that was ignited by Pac fans. should you be more thankful that its now gonna happen? :D :D btw, it may have won the fight of the year but i believe it did only coz of they're history of rivalry and not coz of the fight they've put up. IMHO, it still should have been Pac-JMM that was the fight of the year. EM-MAB is nothing compared to PAC-JMM fight with all the blood, KDs, display of techniques etc. and was so close that it ended as a draw. while in EM-MAB, it was so obvious that MAB dominated EM. this is why there's no point of taking any words back. :D

MAB - EM III was a frickin great fight. The display of ability, endurance, heart and will made it unique. Michael Katz, one of the most respected boxing scribes, said right after the fight that MAB - EM III was probably the best bout he had EVER seen.

Pac - JMM was a very good scrap, but after the first round it became kind of predictable. As a fan, you knew what was coming -Pac attacking and getting pounded by JMM's counters immediately after. It was a great display of power by Pac and a great display of technique by JMM.

MAB - EM III just had it all.

well i respect your opinion about that but i just dont think we're seeing it the same way. EM-MAB did not had it all. everything you said about EM-MAB fight was even well emphasized in Pac-JMM fight. the abilities (boxing skills and power punches), the endurance (it lasted 12 rounds that both were still exchanging punches that rounds can be scored either way), heart (damn have you seen how JMM got back after being KD 3x in the 1st round with a busted nose and Pacman giving his best despite his injured left hand and blistered toe?), will (both gave everything they've got that no one person could realy justify that one deserves to win over the other and that made the decision good enough for most spectators). but i did not see in EM-MAB the kind of power we saw in Pac-JMM curtesy of Pac and niether the kind of technique that JMM showed or in short EM-MAB didn't realy come close to how great Pac-JMM fight was. IMO, niether EM nor MAB could even beat any of the two (Pac and JMM). :)
