Barrera, Morales Photos Gallery - PICO RIVERA, CA. – Marco Antonio Barrera and Jesus Soto Karass stepped in the ring once again, but this time for a six round, two-minute exhibition, exhibition fight for the fans. It had been ten years since Barrera retired and almost three years for Soto-Karass, but that did not stop them from going all out this past weekend at Pico Rivera Sports Arena in Los Angeles, CA in a MarvNation Promotions event.

Ahead of this Saturday’s showdown, a star-studded lineup of Mexican legends, champions, contenders and more shared their thoughts on the matchup between former unified heavyweight champion Andy “The Destroyer” Ruiz Jr. and all-action heavyweight Chris “The Nightmare” Arreola.

The streak of exhibition fights continues. Mexican rivals Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera are going to collide for a fourth time on July 16 in the United States. A location has not been finalized - and neither are the rules of the fight. The exhibition bout will be fought over the six round distance, but no determination has been made regarding the use of head gear.

Four division world champion Erik Morales, who is the trainer of Tijuana’s Angel Fierro, is days away from his fighter’s matchup against Puerto Rico’s Alberto Machado - which is Thursday night’s Ring City USA main event. The fight takes place at the Albergue Olimpico (Olympic Center) in Salinas, P.R., and live on NBC Sports Network (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT).

Hall of Famer and former world champion Erik 'Terrible' Morales does not see the point of a possible fight between eight division champion Manny Pacquiao and undefeated WBC interim-lightweight champion Ryan Garcia.

To those who insist Jaime Munguia got lucky in his latest fight, he has a training camp’s worth of footage to show his critics that the night went according to plan. The former junior middleweight titlist from Tijuana turned away a stiff challenge from Tureano Johnson in claiming a stoppage win after six competitive rounds of action. A right uppercut from Munguia opened up a grotesque cut on the upper lip of Bahamas’ Johnson (21-3-1, 15KOs) to force the stoppage in their DAZN main event Friday evening from Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California.

Mexican boxing legends, Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik 'Terrible' Morales, are planning to face each other once more in their careers when they hold an exhibition fight on January 15 in Dallas, Texas, according to ESPN Deportes.
