This fight was amazing showing both fighters hearts. I think Barrera won the fight with more precise power punches. I can also se how people had Morales winning. One og the est fights our see.
R8- The right hand of Louis is landing with more regularity. A cross buckles Conn, who is unable to smother Louis’ follow up. Conn later walks into a smooth right uppercut-left hook combo, which flattens him for the count. A great finish to a poor fight. I have had the displeasure of seeing far worse fights, but this bout did not come close to holding a candle to its predecessor. Easily one of the most dissapointing bouts of all time. Seeing these two run it back while being so far past it may make one forget how legendary the first bout between these two greats was and is, but at least no one could take what occured that night away from them.
R6- Louis is still the only one taking any real chances, as he lands more and forces the fight. Late, a jab makes Conn’s glove touch the canvas, seemingly at his own will. Louis was definitely robbed of a knockdown here.
R5- Louis is still too patient, but he successfully measures out a right hand that seems to bother Conn a bit. Another right lands for Louis, allowing him to maintain a superior range after, thus letting him land more power shots up close. Conn backs Louis off with a few left hooks before the bell. Best round of the fight.
R4- Conn is not throwing anything other than a jab, but some score early. Louis starts to outjab him after not too long and lands a couple of counter right hands.
R3- Both are occasionally throwing jabs, not with any authority though and are slipping the others’ as well. Louis seems to land and dodge a tiny bit more, but a definite swing round.
