The real reason Morales lost to Barrera

[morancito]

Barrera is the better boxer and Morales is the thougher warrior. That's why their bouts are always entertaining.

Should they fight a 4th time, it'll be a tossup. It will also be interesting to see in what weight they fight, as Barrera says he doesn't feel comfortable at 130 and Morales is thinking about going up to 135.

Barrera is the better boxer? Is that a joke?

It's not a joke. It's the truth. And quite an obvious one. Barrera is the better boxer because he can adapt his style depending on the rival. Did you see the way he destroyed Hamed? He just changed his style from brawl to box and the Prince could do nothing to hurt him. Also, MAB knew the only way to beat Barrera was to fight inside and that's why he has come victorious in 2 out of 3 fights (he won the 1st and lost the 2nd, imo)

Barrera would never take the punishment that Morales took from Jesus Chavez and even Carlos Hernandez. MAB would dispatch those two with ease, like he did with Paulie Ayala. Maybe he's not as entertaining to the crowd, but he's definately more cerebral than el Terrible.

Don't get me wrong, I love Eric and I actually think he will beat PacMan. But I get the feeling he has trouble adapting to every rival. For example, he could have boxed with Jesus Chavez after the 2nd round and scored a rather easy UD without getting hurt, but he chose to brawl again. He did score the UD, but got hurt more than he should have. Same with Carlos Hernandez.

Anyway, those are my .02

Thats BULL****. Even in the second fight, the rounds Barrera won were NOT EVEN CLOSE. The rounds Barrera won in the third fight looked the same.

Give me a break.
