yeah barrera... he started when he was 15 and it wasn't until the Naz fight he turned boxer.. you watch his career it was HE who was had the rep as a fighter coming into that first morales fight... it was after doddgy UD that he changed his style to box and have more controll over getting a win rather than going for the KP from the get go...

Morales was very much a boxer who could get sucked into a war... he may have used the "fight like a mexican" line a lot, but at the time of the first barrera fight eirk came to the thing with the rep for being the boxer, and marco as the brawler...
