I was neutral going into this fight, and although I can understand your frustration Tracy.......Barrera DID NOT fight a dirty fight. He fought with passion and Morales did not and that was the difference.

Now to the scoring....I had it 115-113 Barrera. This makes the fight sound way closer than it really was for the following reasons:

1) When Barrera won a round it was by a huge margin, he dominated almost every round he won on my card.

2) When Morales won a round it was narrowly for the most part (with exception of a couple in the middle rounds).

3) Compubox stats show Barrera outlanding Morales by a pretty large margin.

4) Barrera controlled the tempo of the fight.

5) Barrera landed the harder more damaging blows over the course of the full fight.


The way boxing is scored is there for a reason, and because of this scoring system the fight was much closer than I really saw it. Morales was thoroughly beaten and think he knows that. To blame the hitting behind the head....low blows...etc for him losing is insane. He should blame that uppercut that broke his nose and threw him completely off for the first 6 rounds.

Thats cool...everybody has different opinions, I just seem to be alone in mine which is okay and not really new to me (well, I was gonna use a 'winking smiley', but for some reason certain posts wont let me; it does what it use to do when it threw me to the bottom of the screen!!)
