That was not the Moralesthat most know...
Spot on as always

Prime Barrera physically fought at 122 but he has more experience now and a better boxing brain these days

I think Barrera gets knocked out again, probably faster this time.
We'll see . Barrera was written off in the 1st Morales fight and fought the fight of his life . People made him the underdog vs Nas but he skooled him . He was a big underdog in the decider with Erik but he beat him and they said he was slipping vs Juarez but came back to box better than ever . How many times does Barrera have to make fools of people before they accept how great he is . Now they are saying this is an easy fight for Pac . Keep believing it and I hope Pac does aswell . Just remember Miles and myself have been picking Barrera since day 1

Interesting , Pac has improved but its how about how you perform on the night . Last time he had it all to prove . This time he may be a little over confident and expecting an easy win . Also Mab will be more focused this time . He Knows the size of the task and wont be taken by surprise this time

What pisses me off is if Pac losses, then pac-haters will say... "Pac got his azz kicked by a washed up fighter". But if Pac wins... they'll say "Pac defeated a washed up fighter".

Good point . I agree

I'm pretty sure he was thinking these MOFO's (GBP) better get me the Pac fight after everything I've done in this sport. Good for him, now let's see how he does.
Yeah if he didnt want this fight he wouldnt have taken it . He obvioulsy thinks now is the right time with retirement in sight . He is ready for one last war and I think he'll win it .
