The real reason Morales lost to Barrera

[Kimmy]

I agree 100% sensation. Barerra, when he fights like he did in the first and third fights, is the better fighter. I also think that Morales has taken the greater beatings from the trillogy and in other fights too! Barrera is simular to Evander Holyfield in the sense of his great comebacks from seemingly being shot and done. I think he recuperates over time well. I fear in Morales` case eventual burn out might hit him. About 3, 4 yrs down the line.....SHOT!

They say that behind every man's success is a woman. Not the other way around! Previously, Morales was saying he had an off night (which is becoming the most convenient excuse for a loss these days!)

Now he's saying a woman caused his downfall! People are coming out with the most wild, if very colorful, excuses! What's next? Really now, Erik...

the off nite excuse replaced the ever popular
broken hand
cheap socks
striggled to make weight
and young starving fighter excuse

I have a lot of respect for Morales and tend to believe what he says

u do that then. morales just lost. y say that now? i hate when people make excuses. its his own fault so really it makes it worse. he lost the fight before it even started then.

[LittleBigMan]

maybe in his heart he still feels like he is the better man

I don't see it. Barrera cannot box with Morales, no way

Did you miss the 3rd fight? I have had to use this quote so many times, Jim Lampley said it the best during the third fight "Marco Antonio Barrera is seperating himself from Erik Morales" Marco's corner also summarized most of the fight up in between one of the rounds saying "Your making a mess! Your the master"

i doubt it. barrera took his heart.

I mean cmon. Barrera is better than Erik Morales. How is it not obvious?

Morales came into the fight thinking that he was the bigger man & the bigger puncher. He thought that once he connected with a big right hand he'd KO MAB but that didn't happen. MAB came to fight & hit Morales with some great combos early to get his respect. When Morales realized that he wasn't going to KO him him he seemed discouraged. That sick uppercut MAB landed in the 2nd changed fight.
