Morales denied in Vegas

June 23, 2002
SecondsOut.com
By Mark G. Butcher in Las Vegas

Erik Morales was denied a magnificent victory at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday night when the judges awarded arch-rival Marco Antonio Barrera a unanimous decision. Call it atonement for the disputed verdict in their first fight if you like, but the decision was still the wrong one.

Morales had a genuine knockdown inexplicably ignored by referee Jay Nady, no stranger to controversy, in the seventh round. He boxed with style and verve and employed the greater technique, but in the end to no avail.

The scores suggested a different fight. Chuck Giampa’s 116-112 scorecard was mystifying while the other scores 115-113 (twice) were also off-base. Morales right eye was swollen badly at the end of 12 totally absorbing rounds while Barrera was unmarked, but that didn’t tell the story of the fight.

At the post-fight press conference, Morales’ promoter Bob Arum pointed to the knockdown in the seventh round, which would have handed the fight to Morales, and expressed his disappointment at the decision. Arum wasn’t keen on a third fight after the judging, but said the defeat wouldn’t affect Morales’ future.

“I think Morales-Ayala is still the best fight out there,” said Arum. “As far as I’m concerned, Morales won the fight. I had it 7-5 for Morales. I couldn’t see how you cannot give him seven rounds. How can any experienced judge give Barrera the first three rounds? How can that happen?”

Barrera was a mixture of happiness and relief at the conference and most observers seemed to think he had been fortunate to win, especially by such margins.

“I’d like to say Erik Morales is a good fighter,” said Barrera, who claimed he was not legitimately knocked down. “For all those people who want a third fight with Erik Morales, I am ready.”

Afterwards, Morales was subdued, but unbowed by the loss. He felt he had clearly done enough to win.

“I fought an intelligent fight, but I’m not feeling that intelligent about what happened,” said Morales. “I put him under a lot of pressure during the fight, scored a lot of good punches to the body. I think he was hurt. I think when I dropped him it was a legitimate knockdown. I think all the people who follow me and believe in me can be proud because I think Erik Morales won tonight.”

It was a shame for Morales who was written off by almost everyone before this fight, but it had been another bout to remember.

A deafening roar greeted the announcement of both fighters on a fantastic night for Mexico and boxing. The electric tension in the MGM Grand Arena rose during the first round with first Barrera then Morales applying the pressure. A Barrera left hook brought a roar but Morales was looking lean and dangerous, and every time Barrera became complacent he punished him.

Morales dabbed his right eye in the second and both men had their successes, but Erik was looking more like the fighter of old and Barrera was unable to get into gear. Morales raised the tempo in the third and suddenly Barrera didn’t look quite so confident anymore as Morales scored with crisp rights. Morales won these first three rounds clearly, but somehow judge Chuck Giampa gave them all to Barrera.

The unthinkable was happening; Morales was controlling the center of the ring and pushing Barrera backward in the fourth. There was no variety to Barrera who couldn’t match the technique of his Tijuana rival. Three successive rights hurt Barrera in the fifth, but Morales turned his back and Barrera rushed him prompting a furious trade by the ropes as the crowd screamed.

Morales complained that Barrera was hitting him low in the sixth and crowd booed. Barrera was having better luck this round, but still he found Morales able to more than match him on the inside. Barrera was pressuring now and a right hand sent Morales head flying back theatrically, but the plot changed swiftly in the seventh. A right to the body sent Barrera down, but unbelievably it was ruled no knockdown by Jay Nady and this bad call changed the decision in Barrera’s favor.

Morales was pushed down and punched to the canvas by Barrera, who was admonished by referee Nady in the eighth. Barrera drilled Morales to the ropes, but Morales blazed back with gusto.

Erik’s right eye was worsening and Barrera looked stronger in the ninth and he began pushing Morales back with regularity. Still Erik produced right hand cameos, but the ascendancy was with Barrera now.

Morales had a great 10th, peppering Barrera with jabs and switching from head to body with effortless motion. He seemed a different fighter from the man who had laboured against Guty Esapadas and In Jin Chi.

Morales boxed more in the 11th round and made Barrera miss on numerous occasions, but it was Barrera who was forcing the exchanges. Barrera started the 12th very strongly, rocking Morales only to be badly shaken himself moments later. Yet Morales’ right eye was shut and impeding his vision and Barrera won the session with a furious onslaught in the final minute.

It didn’t seem as if it would be enough, but it was.

"I believe Marco is the best featherweight in the world, and I think he will prove that to everybody (tonight), but the one thing I do know is that because of the kind of kids these two are and because of their styles, they can't help but fight the same way they did last time," Barrera promoter John Jackson said.

"He's arrogant, but I'm going to wipe that smirk off his face," said Morales, 41-0 with 31 knockouts. "He thinks he's better than everyone else. Because he's from Mexico City, he thinks he's so much better than everyone else. He's no different than me or any other Mexican. But I'll show him again who is the best (featherweight)."

Arum expects Morales to knock out Barrera

June 21, 2002
By Mark G. Butcher in Las Vegas
SecondsOut.com

Marco Antonio Barrera remains a strong favorite ahead of the featherweight super-bout with Erik Morales at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday, but promoter Bob Arum is in a small minority, along with this writer, who believes Morales will prevail. The form guide would suggest otherwise with Barrera looking masterful in wins over Naseem Hamed and Enrique Sanchez while a listless Morales struggled in decisions over Guty Espadas and In Jin Chi. But discipline and preparation have made Morales a different fighter for the rematch with his bitter rival, according to Arum.

“He’s finally trained for a fight,” said the Hall of Fame promoter. “With Guty Espadas, he came into camp at 160 (pounds). He had some nutty nutritionist, giving him herbs and so forth. He was sick to his stomach two weeks before the fight and he wasn’t in any kind of condition. And he trained for the first time, instead of at altitude, at this Prince Ranch in Las Vegas, which was stupid. Then for In Jin Chi, he figured he was fighting an easy Korean and so he never even got up to train for that fight.”

This time “El Terrible” has embarked on a ferocious training regimen at altitude at the Otomi in the Mexican mountains, about two hours outside Mexico City, and this renewed discipline has paid dividends, insists Arum.

“Morales for the first time, even more than the first Barrera fight, will come in shape and condition. He trained hard for the first Barrera fight, but the problem was he had to make 122 pounds and he was dead at the weight. Remember, we had to carry him out of the weigh-in,” said Arum.

“(The weight) is all the difference. That’s what people are not seeing. That Morales is the natural bigger guy and the extra weight benefits Morales, who really struggled at 122. He said, ‘How could you make me do this?’ He started crying.”

The promoter firmly believes that people are reading far too much into Barrera’s emphatic 12-round pounding of Naseem Hamed in April 2001. “Hamed is mediocre,” he said. “I had a kid called Cesar Soto, who wasn’t much of a fighter, and he was beating Hamed until Hamed fouled him and threw him down. Then Augie Sanchez almost knocked Hamed out and Augie Sanchez can’t spell fight!

“So to beat Hamed is no big deal, to beat Enrique Sanchez is no big deal and to beat Jesus Salud is no big deal,” continued Arum. “I would be terribly disappointed if Morales didn’t knock out Barrera within eight rounds. And my matchmaker feels the same way. If I bet on fights, which I don’t allow myself, a 9-5 touting Barrera is the worst, stupidest overlay I’ve ever seen.”

On Saturday night, the savvy promoter may be vindicated for such faith in his fighter.

Barrera, Morales seek title, bragging rights

06/19/2002
By Dan Rafael, USA TODAY


LAS VEGAS — There is more on the line for Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales in their rematch than simply earning recognition as the world's best featherweight.

Saturday night's championship fight at the MGM Grand (9 ET, HBO PPV, $39.95) also is the stage for Barrera (No. 1 USA TODAY, 54-3, 39 KOs) or Morales (No. 2, 41-0, 31 KOs) to lay claim as Mexico's best current fighter and cement a place as one of the tradition-rich nation's legendary boxers.

"The winner of this fight will be the next Mexican superstar and close the gap with Julio Cesar Chavez as Mexico's all-time best," Morales' manager, Fernando Beltran, said following Wednesday's final news conference.

Ricardo Jimenez, a former sports editor for Spanish language newspaper La Opinion and now a publicist for Morales promoter Top Rank, said the winner will join a pantheon of Mexican fighters that includes Ruben Olivares, Carlos Zarate, Salvador Sanchez, Ricardo Lopez and Chavez.

"No one is going to beat out Chavez," Jimenez said.

"To get to Chavez's level would take a lot. But whoever wins this is going to be close."

Morales-Barrera II is huge in Mexico and in the USA's Hispanic community, especially now that Mexico is out of soccer's World Cup. The fight leads sports sections and newscasts throughout Mexico and Spanish-language outlets in the USA.

In addition to an expected sellout at the 15,000-seat Grand Garden Arena, HBO PPV executives project the fight to be the highest grossing featherweight bout, surpassing the $13 million generated from 320,000 pay-per-view buys for Barrera's victory against Naseem Hamed in April 2001.

"This is the biggest fight in Mexican history," Jimenez said. "Chavez never fought anyone at his best. He fought Mexicans, but never good Mexicans. These guys are the best two Mexicans fighting each other."

The simmering hostility between Morales and Barrera adds to the already high stakes, but the heated rivalry has far deeper roots than their exciting toe-to-toe battle two years ago, in which Morales claimed a controversial decision.

The rivalry stems from a geographic and cultural difference between them. Morales grew up poor in Tijuana, and Barrera comes from a much wealthier, professional family in Mexico City.

"A lot of people from Mexico City have an attitude of superiority over people from the rest of the country, especially the people from the border towns (such as Tijuana)," Jimenez said. "They believe that if you live outside Mexico City you are not as sophisticated as them or as good as them.

"It's the same with the fighters. Barrera has that kind of attitude. Before the first fight he said things like 'Nothing good ever came out of the border towns. They just come down from the hills. They have no shoes, no nothing.' "

Morales does not hide his dislike for Barrera or for Mexico City.

"People from Mexico City are no doubt the most hated people in Mexico," he said. "They think they are better than everybody. They think they know it all and have it all."

Although Barrera has called Morales an "Indian" and insulted his roots, he tried to downplay that aspect of the rivalry Wednesday.

"This is a big fight, and it means a lot to Mexicans fans," he said. "But this is a fight for all of Mexico. I am fighting for all of Mexico, not just Mexico City."

THREE-MINUTE WAR: Fighters recall fierce fifth
Round between Morales, Barrera helped bout become year's top fight

Thursday, June 20, 2002

REVIEW-JOURNAL

It was three minutes of mayhem, but three of the most memorable minutes in boxing history.

The fifth round between Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales at the Mandalay Bay Events Center on Feb. 19, 2000, ranks as one of the best in the sport's history. Morales has watched the tape of that round and always come away with a question.

"I don't know how the fight wasn't stopped," Morales said Wednesday, three days before he meets Barrera again Saturday at the MGM Grand in a featherweight showdown. "I thought he was gone."

Each boxer could have made that claim in the round, which was more back and forth than a sustained rally between two clay-court specialists at the French Open.

The fight was chosen as the 2000 Fight of the Year, but the fifth round stood out from the others that night. The boxers traded punches with a ferocity seldom seen, each moving to the brink of ruin before rallying and getting the other guy in trouble.

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, who has seen thousands of fights in more than 30 years in the sport, said he had difficulty naming a better round.

"It was the typical Mexican-style round, both guys flat-footed and standing in front of each other and throwing power punches," Arum said. "They have such great heart, and they each wanted the fight so badly, they were giving everything they had in order to get it."

Barrera scored the first truly significant punch of the round about 30 seconds into it. Up until that point, they had fought at a quick pace and each had landed a few jabs, but neither had gotten a power shot through. But that all changed.

Standing in the center of the ring, Barrera landed a jab that seemed to freeze Morales momentarily. Barrera immediately followed the jab with a straight right hand that landed flush on Morales' cheek and sent Morales against the ropes.

At that point, Barrera lived up to his nickname, "The Baby Faced Assassin."

But Morales had a surprise waiting. His back hit the ropes from the force of the solid right hand, but he rebounded with a six-punch combination.

"Everybody tells me it was such a great round," Barrera said, breaking into a grin. "But I don't know why. I was getting hit with too many punches in that round."

He was about to take many more, as was Morales. They fought the remainder of the round at a fever pitch, landing their best shots again and again.

The late Mitch Halpern was the referee that night, and in that round, Halpern had little to do but stay out of the way of the flying fists.

"I wish we could have that in every fight, but it's not reasonable to expect that," said Marc Ratner, the executive director of the Nevada Athletic Commission. "These were two guys at the top of their game putting out maximum effort."

The fans responded after the round by rising to their feet and applauding for the entire rest period. All three judges -- Duane Ford, Carol Castellano and Dalby Shirley -- scored the round for Morales.

Morales, who won a controversial decision that night, wasn't totally pleased despite all he accomplished in that round.

"I just don't know how that fight didn't get stopped then," he said. "I had him. I know I had him."

He will have Barrera for another 12 rounds Saturday in a bout that is expected to not only sell out the MGM Grand but to sell up to 9,000 additional closed-circuit seats in Clark County.

Arum is crossing his fingers that he can reach 500,000 people on pay per view. And though both boxers speak limited English, Arum has an easy way to promote the rematch.

"If people saw the first fight, they'll be back for this, and I'm sure they'll bring a few friends," he said.

HBO's Larry Merchant has been quoted as saying that Morales is being underestimated now, just as Barrera was in February of 2000.

i agree. barrera is being cast as too much of a favorite.

i think morales stands a pretty good chance of doing well in this fight. dare i say, morales just might knock barrera out.

only a hunch...

Contracts will be signed Thursday making the New Orleans Arena in Louisiana the venue for the heavyweight explosion featuring "The Black Rhino" Clifford Etienne (24-1, 17 KOs) against "The White Buffalo" Francois Botha (44-4-1, 28 KOs). The July 27th Showtime boxing event is appropriately named "The Call of the Wild." Next door to the New Orleans Arena is the Superdome where Muhammad Ali made boxing history by recapturing his title from Leon Spinks on September 15, 1978 to become first 3-time world heavyweight champion.

Morales looks for respect in rematch
WBC champ to face Barrera at MGM

REVIEW-JOURNAL


HOLLYWOOD -- Erik Morales, the World Boxing Council featherweight champion, is 41-0 with 31 knockouts. Among his victims are six former world champions, three of them by knockout.

Those six men -- Daniel Zaragoza, Wayne McCullough, Kevin Kelley, Junior Jones, Marco Antonio Barrera and Guty Espadas -- make up a who's who of the bantamweight, super bantamweight and featherweight divisions from the last 10 years.

Yet, all Morales hears about these days are his failings. He has been told he was lucky to have beaten Barrera, how he looked lethargic against Espadas and Injin Chi and how he ballooned to 160 pounds before some of his recent fights.

Morales, who will fight Barrera on Saturday at the MGM Grand in a rematch of their 2000 bout that has gone down as one of the most exciting in boxing history, reacts with a bemused grin.

Saturday's fight is, by contract, Barrera-Morales II, instead of Morales-Barrera II. Morales won the first fight and thus should have had his name first in the promotion. But Barrera wouldn't take the fight unless his name appeared first.

And Barrera insisted on choosing the brand of boxing gloves the two will use, another task usually afforded the reigning champion. Barrera issued the ultimate insult when he declined to fight for Morales' WBC title. If Morales wins, he remains the WBC champion; if he loses, the title becomes vacant.

"That's fine that he wants all of that," Morales said quietly Tuesday after a brief workout at a steamy upstairs gym. "I got what I wanted. I've got him in the ring again. That was all I really cared about."

Barrera declined an immediate rematch after their memorable Feb. 19, 2000, fight at Mandalay Bay that won Fight of the Year honors. Marc Ratner, the executive director of the Nevada Athletic Commission, said the fifth round was as good a round as he had seen.

Morales, 25, won the first fight by split decision, with Carol Castellano and Dalby Shirley favoring Morales and Duane Ford siding with Barrera. That sparked outrage by the American media, most of whom thought Barrera won.

Knowing that, Morales offered to fight Barrera again, but Barrera opted to fight Prince Naseem Hamed instead, taking the same amount of money for the Hamed fight that he was offered for a Morales rematch.

"That shows you that he doesn't want to fight Morales, not really," said Fernando Beltran, Morales' manager.

Barrera said his decision had nothing to do with being afraid of Morales. Barrera thought a fight with Hamed would do more for his career.

For now at least, it appears Barrera was right. He won an easy decision against Hamed.

And Morales hasn't been as sharp in his five fights since meeting Barrera. Many thought Morales got a gift when he lifted the World Boxing Council featherweight title from Espadas at the MGM on Feb. 17, 2001.

But Morales said he has a surprise for Barrera on Saturday.

"Morales isn't the kind of guy who is going to do a lot of talking and making predictions," Beltran said. "But he wants this fight so badly he has done everything in camp that he could to get ready. He's never been better. And he is going to show that to you on Saturday night. The people who have doubted him, believe me, they will have their eyes opened after this fight."

Barrera speaks out!
By Francisco Salazar
6/14/2002

Fightnews.com top rated featherweight Marco Antonio Barrera spoke today from his training camp in Big Bear, CA and discussed candidly his rematch with WBC featherweight champion Erik Morales and other intangibles.

On his insistance for a rematch:
I wanted this rematch because the boxing fans wanted this fight to take place. I would hear about when this fight would occur and that is why I wanted this rematch. For the fans.

On the rivalry between Mexico City and Tijuana:
(Barrera is from Mexico City, Morales is from Tijuana)
From my point of view, there is no rivalry. Erik was the one who created the rivalry. He was the one who first spoke negatively about me from the beginning.

On Fernando Beltran's (manager of Erik Morales) comments reported earlier on fightnews about low blows and excess use of vasoline by Barrera:
I do not know what fight he saw. When Erik butted me in the first fight, we did not protest. We knew it was an accident. If he thought these things occurred, so be it. He wants to find ways to cause problems.

On the scuffle that occurred at a press conference in Texas:
"He would make comments about me in the press in Mexico. He would call me 'Mariquita' (sissy). When I saw him in person, I asked him why he was not talking like he did on TV or the papers. He said something to me, then I hit him. I did not him that hard."

from fightnews.com

Lennox Lewis, on an IBF-mandated bout with #1 ranked Chris Byrd:

"There's nothing in it for me to fight Chris Byrd. When you've boxed at this level and reached the purses that you've reached, then all of a sudden they say you have to defend your belt against a bird..."
