Barrera wins by majority decision and deserved it
Thats why I hedged with Barrera by decision, didn't cost me much as I knew he wouldn't ko Morales.

No problem
Wish i could have been more discriptive but I couldn't miss the action.
I still think the bigger gloves made a difference in this fight. I don't think either fighter was seriously hurt like they were in the first two fights.
Something to remember in handicapping fights

whew......wagering wise,the hedge helped alot......the hedge and the parlay.......lost a couple bucks anyway....not bad at all.......thankfully,i got morales early at around -140.......
the fight?....i have to say that i don`t mind losing a few dollars one bit.....
was a great fight....what fights are supposed to be....these guys...these fights.... have to go down in history....just unreal.....
the ebb and flow.....one guy looks shot....then he steps on the gas....
you get the feeling that if they fought 10 times,it would be nip and tuck every time....
morales was cocky early....seems like he just doesn`t remember the first 2 fights.....how could he dismiss barrera?..... and a style that just gives him terrible problems......
i really thought that the weight would tip the scales in morales` favor....but he started slowly....and let barrera build some momentum....got his nose broken for his trouble....and it probably affected him during the fight...
barrera...marquez....morales....they like to ease their way into a fight...work at their own pace.....that`s why pacquaio was so tough for marquez and barrera....
and i think that lesson in the pacquaio fight served barrera well....losing that fight.....getting jumped on early and never being let into the fight....i think he used that against morales.....
very smart...those early rounds won it for him...
if it goes 15....like they used to,maybe morales has enough left to win....but,they fight 12.....barrera made the night for the books....
i would have loved a draw...not just the monetary part of it.....but you almost hate to see one guy lose a fuight like that......
but,i think barrera deserved the close nod....he seems to always break morales up and do more damage...
was not thrilled with larios.....he`s a punch and judy hitter......he was lucky,imo,that hussein froze....hussein was the stronger guy...he just couldn`t let his hands go...economical with his punches?.......that`s the understatement of the year..maybe the guy couldn`t handle the magnitude of the event...if that`s how he always fights,he must be fighting some sad dudes......feel fortunate to get the parlay in....
more tomorrow....hope everybody enjoyed the fight as much as i did...
btw....i said the very same thing to my brother about the gloves...they looked way to big.....maybe it was the color?....looked like powder-puffs...have to find out the ounces for fights in this weight range...i believe they should have been 8 ounce gloves.......
