Best Trilogy of these Three?

[Fox McCloud]

Being that there was no action for the first 6 rounds, I'd call it the dud of the trilogy. Don't get me wrong, once Barrera started moving his hands, he kicked some aserious ass. If I put all three of the trilogies against each other, that fight stands out as the weakest of them.

Far and away it is the weakest of the trilogy... I didn't realize you were calling it a dud of the trilogy... I thought you were just calling it a dud, which shocked me.

I did think that the first 6 rounds were by far the most exciting rounds of aggressor vs. the moving counterpuncher that I have ever seen.

Even when those dudes did things that are typically considered boring, they turned out great.

this could easily belong to castillo vs corrales may god rest his soul,
if castillo would of made weight for their 3rd fight it would of been the best trilogy in boxing

i think it would've been a one-sided brutal beating in favor of chico if castillo had made weight.

not because chico was the better fighter, but because castillo had outgrown 135 by then and would've been a zombie walking into the ring.

You thought Bowe-Holyfield III was more competive and exciting than Barrera-Morales II? I'm shocked! Holyfield only had one good moment in the third fight.

To whoever suggested Gonzalez-Carbajal, I have only seen the first fight.

I voted Barrera-Morales, but everyone already saw my long post on how much I enjoyed it. I just wanted to see if that was the general consensus, or if I needed to go back and watch the other two trilogies to see if I had missed something.

No, Barrera-Morales was by far the closest.

But Bowe-Holyfield had 3 very good bouts which were all competitive. The first bout was a 8-4 type fight and the rubber match had Bowe all but out in round 6. The 2nd fight was extremely close.

Barrera-Morales had 3 very close bouts, but the rematch wasn't very exciting. It was decent, IMO.

Gatti-Ward 3 was rather one-sided. Only one fight was competitive. Gatti schooled Ward with one hand in both the 2nd and 3rd fights. Ward won maybe 1 round in the 2nd fight and 2 in the last.

That was an interesting pair of fights, but I really did get the feeling that Castillo was the better fighter out of the two. I personally felt that he came away from the first fight looking like he did better overall.

The second fight obviously gave him an advantage because he didn't make weight, but he blew Corrales out.

I agree, if he actually had to get down to 135 for both 2 and 3, he probably would have lost both.

How good do you see the rubber of Vazquez-Marquez going?
