16 years ago today. One of the greatest fights in the history of boxing and my favourite, Marco Antonio Barrera vs Erik Morales 1. The start of a great trilogy and rivalry, just made this post to acknowledge the gut and the effort put into this fight by both fighters that stunned the world through their 3 fights
I saw that, what a great day for boxing. One fight secured both their legacies. Two more elevated them to ATG status.
So true, I've seen online that these tickets only cost $25 (£15 ish) and that was worth it.This fight was the most active and intriguing fight I have even seen. Two warriors who left everything that they had in the ring, they are well and truly all time greats. Seen much of you acerbitas but never actually spoken to you, you are a great scorer and I like reading your analyses
Likewise Cf, thanks very much I do try with my analysis. I get inspiration from Champ most of the time. It's been a long time since I have seen a proper war in the ring since Morales and Barrera went at it. Maybe Pacquiao-Marquez 4 ?
No problem man, you do a great job. Champ is great, so in detailed and backed up, you can't really justify against his decisions. Pacquiao-Marquez 4 was a great fight, Marquez is a very underrated fighter in my opinion. Like I have said before, the only person to school him was Mayweather. If only the Pacquiao Marquez 4 fight went all the way, then it may have got the recognition it deserved. I think the Gatti vs Ward trilogy, this one and the Barrera vs Juarez fights, alongside Vazquez Marquez will go down as the best multi time fights in history.
