    Comments Thread For: Marco Antonio Barrera-Erik Morales - The Reunion

    By Thomas Gerbasi - Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales were never going to be Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward. Yes, they would engage in three classic battles that sit among the best trilogies ever seen in the squared circle, but there would be no respectful post-fight embraces, no photos in the hospital together...

          I met Marco Antonio Barrera in 2008 at Mandala Bay, he's a very nice person and I was very much impressed, hats off.

              I wouldn’t argue too much if someone said their 1st fight was the greatest fight of all time...it’s right up there.

                I remember watching that first fight live on HBO, I felt it should have been stopped late in the fight. Watching how much punishment both fighters were taking I felt like either guy could die that night.

                I still kick myself for not making the trip to Vegas to see the first one, I learned my lesson and saw both the 2nd and 3rd live.

                  They have been friendly for a while and that photo in the article is several years old but its presented as if its recent.

                  Another low quality boxing scene article. They took some quotes from a recent presser and threw it all together.

                  This isnt new news, just some new quotes and they present that photo like it was recent.

                    Yes, agree, I remember seeing this photo in another similar piece about them.

                    In an interview I remember Morales saying that for the first fight, he struggled to make the weight and was dieing in the ring and felt like quitting but each time the thought cross his mind, he had a new born or a small child at home that also crossed his mind and that gave him the strength to keep going.
