Do you guys think Morales is a poor sport.
"I want the people to know that I was a gentleman," he said. "After the fight, I went over to Morales’ corner to congratulate him on a good fight. But he threw water in my father’s face—it demonstrates that Morales is lacking a bit of education."
I think Barrera went to shake Morales hand out of respect for Morales as a fighter not as a friend.
that's a really good point! i don't think Barrera wants to be buddies with Morales and take long hot showers together, i think he was just trying to say " Thanks for bringing out the best fighter in me."
dammit who gives a f**k...crap...if you guys didnt know before that morales wasnt a good sport..i dont know where u have been..who cares..war is over and the dust as cleared...no matter what MAB will be remembered and so will Morales...i say Morales mns up keep that "Dignity" and give pac a boxing lesson to quite down critics like mab did to him
hehe thats pretty funny, How HBO and everyone else got on his ass about that. Merchant called him a bad sport. Funny when Barrera hit Morales in the press conference after Barrera talked shit to Morales and Morales talked back they only mentioned it as a small incident. When Barrera lost the first fight and talked smack about Morales right after they didnt say anything. When Barrera had not stopped talking smack about Morales on the Media every time they would shove the camera in his face, it wasnt even an issue. When Barrera said he was chasing Morales for the rematch at 126 and was later found out to be backwards with Morales' people sending the contracts and Barrera's camp not signing, once again they never mentioned it.
Morales dislikes Barrera and would u shake your enemy's hand if he had done all of the above to u and had basically sworn to be his enemy regardless? Im sorry but i believe like Erik said (which the translator wasnt able to translate) "Sorry but I have my Dignity, something that you (speaking of larry) knows nothing about."
Had he shaken his hand and been all "we are friends now".. it woulda been like saying "ok u can talk shit about me and we'll be cool. Because i only like to speak out of my ass ".
Too much shit has come from Barrera's side for that to happen and it was only expected. I didnt see Barrera's class in their last 2 fights where he was all shit talking, sucker punching etc.
THANK YOU!!!!!! Sure could have used your input on the other thread when I talked about Barrera fouling ;)

Great post...I agree that it would be hard to be gracious towards your enemy who has done his share of fucked up stuff to you too. Screw sportsmanship...leave it at what it is, a bitter rivalry.

i don't think Morales is a sore loser ( in this case )
this is true, it got to be such a personal war. morales HATES Barrera and we expect him to just turn it off, after being frustrated in a fight that everybody expected he'd win easy.
