I knew it! I knew there would be controversy after the Morales/Barrera fight. They are talking about this round 11 where the deciding factor was the even round given by one of the judges. First off, the fight was Fight of The Year and doesnt need controversy. Second, I dont care if your a barrera fan or a Morales fan, you had to know that Barrera won at LEAST 8 of the 12 rounds. It was a hard fought, decisive win. Clear cut. Why tarnish the magnitude of this fight. It's the best fight I have seen in the last few years and I dont think it needs Bob Arum's crying to tarnish it.
I have f**king had it!!!!!

i dont know why people are making a big deal because ol' bob arum started acting like a 70 year old baby again. he always comes out with some boshyt everytime one of his cash cows loses. i am a morales fan and im telling you he lost that fight. even morales knows he lost, just look at his post fight interviews, he talks about not feeling right early in the fight and how he doesnt need to use fouls to win . -
Both of the them had thier moments in the 11th round so I don't think there should be controversy over an even round. Bob Arum is just mad because Morales lost but I think he is even more mad because not only did Barrera win so did Oscar as a promoter.Comment

The fight was close (115-113 for Barrera = correct imo) and Arum said Morales' people should check into that round 11 scoring.
Frankly Morales put it best after Arum talked about the consistency, "Im not gonna cry, i lost the fight. I did what i could but i lost."
This is really not that big of a deal not a lot of people are really talking about it and Morales conceded that he lost.
Unlike Marquez vs PAC where all of a sudden the rest of the rounds dont matter to pac fans, because one judge scored it 10-7 instead of 10-6 it means he won no matter what happened in the rest of the rounds. All i can say is i cant wait for PAC vs JMM2.Comment

1) It wasn't the fight of the year.Originally posted by GodzHandI knew it! I knew there would be controversy after the Morales/Barrera fight.

2) The "controversy" doesn't even have the buzz of the second-to-last close fight, Ruiz-Golota.
3) The actual fight of the year, JMM-Marquez has some similar scoring controversy, so I'll give you that.
4) No one announcing the fight thought there was controversy. The 11th round was but a footnote at the end of the commentary.
5) Morales should have been down a lot more. The judges gave him way too much credit for what I thought was a one-sided ass whooping.Comment

I agree, Barrera won. He not only beat Morales, he beat Morales fans who will claim he won any fight, even if he was KO`d! Same thing will happen when pac man loses. Its silly at times. A fighter gets one or to good wins and then its like he is invincible. Same with Tsyzu. Good win against Mitchell, now Ricky hatton doesn`t stand a chance. Pac man beats Barrera and he`s the worlds greatest, never mind he has a poor chin and has been stoped twice. He got a gift draw against Marquez too. I was surprised that Barrera got the verdict even though he won the fight, just ask Guty Espandas!Comment
