Ya you're right, the second fight is often the least eventful one in a trilogy. Not always, but a lot of the time it is.
The first fight was the biggest brawl of the 3 fights, but I actually think their third fight was the best of the 3. That one had great technical boxing and lots of toe-to-toe action. I also think the third fight is the only one that didn't have a controversial decision. Barrera got a close decision, and that was the right decision.
Yeah in the 3rd Barrera settled all arguments . It was a good close fight. This how I view the trilogy

1st fight - Amazing . Best fight ive ever seen . Barrera was robbed but it couldnt cloud a great fight

2nd fight - Not as good , havent seen it for a while . From what I remember Barrera just plain outboxed him in a pretty uneventful battle and people werent happy .

3rd fight - Back to war . Both had good spells . Barreras extra class and skills clinched it for him .

I think Morales moved up in weight and Barrera followed him . He didnt need to . The extra pounds suited Erik more but Ironically it was Barrera who seemed more comfortable .
