    Do you realize that MAB stands for Marco Antonio Barerra? Or are you just so misinformed that you believe he beat Morales the second time around. Actually, I don't even having a problem with the fact that you think Erik lost. It's just that you say Barerra won it easily, because he didn't. He should have lost it by a close decision.

      I don't either. i especially don't think Barerra can dent his chin. Which is why I don't think Barerra can pull it off. But let's bear in mind that there's been a recent trend of single body shot knckouts. Dorin, and De La Hoya, I think they could tell us that sometimes it only takes one shot to the liver. Mebbe Barerra has been reminded of something he forgot. Remember that Barerra used to be famous for his left hook to the body, back before he tried this boxing ****. I'm not saying it's likely. Just that it's possible.

          He didn't win the first fight. He lost. I mean **** leave it at what it is. Morales won the first and lost the second. MAB lost the first and won the second. Both fights are arguable. Personally I think Morales won both...but that's very arguable either way. But theres no way MAB won the second fight easier than the first...no fight between these two has been easy to score and MAB LOST the first fight.

            I respect Barrera as a fighter that has given his all his whole career but why is he fighting someone he has already fought twice. All signals seem to point that Barrera is nearing the end of his career and is willing to accept a loss to a fellow countryman when it happens. This reminds me a lot of the Gatti-Ward trilogy. I don't think Barrera can pull this one off and could retire after the bout. Also I belive Morales would not go for the kill unless pushed by Barrera to do so. My pick is Morales by UD.

              I'm not going to go against your opinion on who really won the first and the second fight! But Barrera really did an outstanding performance in his first fight with morales and I think if there's a won fight, this could be it! What year was the first fight, it's in 122 lbs, right? Barrera looked young back then.

                They have already started advertising Pac Man Vs Morales. It will be fixed so Morales will win, take it to the bank. The first two were fixed so that this fight could happen and this one is fixed so Morales can fight Pac man, simple!

                    Morales is going to KO Barrera so they must have paid off Barrera then right?

                      I know MAB is the underdog but I am rooting for the underdog here and earnestly hoping to see a 3rd war better the than the 2nd one...
