This is definitely MAB's last chance to redeem his career. He was able to resurrect his career in the past and I do believe that this fight is no different. Being a sentimental favorite with many non-hardcore boxing fans, he might just pull off the decision, a la Sugar Ray Leonard when he beat Hagler.
Can Barrera pull this one off?

Barrera definitely is the underdog here. He was stronger than EM at 122, almost even at 126, but at 130 IMO Morales is simply the bigger fella. Size does matter. Barrera is on a decline now, Ayala was not a coming back party. He'll give a good account of himself while it lasts though, but El Terrible wins convincingly this time.
Morales by TKO.Comment

i'm not so sure that Barrera wil,be KTFO'd by Morales. MAB looked so bad against Pac because he underestimated him, i don't think he actually was prepared for the handspeed Manny has, and after the KD's he wasn't able to recover. Remember the same thing could have happened to JMM but he wasn't hurt as bad and adjusted his style. MAB can show he's still not shot here, and i'm hoping he doesComment

Barrera still has a chance to pull it off.
He might not have the same drive he used to, however he still sees an opportunity when he sees one and his hand speed is still very good.Comment

Originally posted by big_pappythe guy is only 30. i don't understand why you say he is too old. i agree that he will need to outbox him though. just because he loses a few fights doesn't mean he should hang it up. when he gets ktfo a few times in a row he should consider it
age has nothing to do with how old you are as a boxer we all know this, barerra has had a 14 year career in the pros already he started officially at 16 but probably earlier has had a hell of a lot of fights in that time and also has been involved in a number of wars.
I think in boxing terms he is old but maybe able to get "up" for one last hurrah, I hope so.Comment
