A Legendary Truce

On October 15, 1998 baseball announcer Jack Buck uttered his now famous phrase, “I don’t believe what I just saw!” having witnessed Kirk Gibson’s impossible homerun off Dennis Eckersley to beat the mighty Oakland As 5-4 in game 1 of the World Series. Fast forward 20 years and 60 miles east to the inauguration of the WBC Legends of Boxing Museum where stunned spectators gasped, “I don’t believe what I just saw!” having watched bitter rivals Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales embrace in a show of mutual respect.





WBC President Dr. Jose Sulaiman together with American Sports University Chairman Dr. Harry Hwang and San Bernardino Mayor Pat Morris opened the World Boxing Council Legends of Boxing Museum with a ribbon cutting celebration on Friday. An induction ceremony honoring boxing legends and lifelong contributors followed. Icons in attendance included Ken Norton, Gabriel Ruelas, Julio Gonzales, Oscar Muniz, Mando Ramos, Danny “Little Red” Lopez, Bobby Chacon, Rodolfo “El Gato” Gonzales, Manuel “Mantecas” Medina, Paul Banke, trainers Floyd Mayweather and Jeff Mayweather, manager Bennie Georgino, referee Gwen Adair, and promoter Ken Thompson.

Wow. Just Wow.

I'd heard they were going to do advert's for San Miguel beer with Pac, but heard they wouldn't work together.

Thats great to see.
They looked genuine too!

[Fenster]

Blimey! Wonder where they found that fat Eric Morales lookalike?

I am great fan of both, specially of Erick (who is seems to be eating very well ). I hope they stay retired and enjoy with their families the earned money and time.

[Julius Rain]

I wonder if eric is still thinking, "why do I have to talk about that motherfxcker"

[TheChosenOne]

wow he looks well over the 200lbs mark

[Macho]

Hey Games , good pics man , was grandious to see both great fighters ......................

[DaxxKahn]

WOW look how much weight Morales gained...Good for them though...both look healthy...nice to see two great warriors bury the hatchet

Man, who knew getting punched in the face could make you look so old? Barrera still looks pretty good and truth be told, if you didn't know what he looked like before now, Morales doesn't look bad. But when you compare with your mental picture... still isn't bad as tubby-tub-tub Vargas.

It's good to see two legends bury their beef. I'm a huge fan of both these guys.

I still don't believe either is retired though.

You think the Barerra that beats Kevin Kelley can Beat the Pacquiao of 11-2003 ?
