On This Day: Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales opened one of the deepest grudges in boxing history

[Counter-puncher]

It's fitting they ended tied. I actually had Rafa edging the third fight but that final round onslaught from Izzy made it impossible to complain. I'm always amazed when people confidently talk cards on fights like that and this when every round is a war.

yeah, three or four of those rounds where Izzy seemed to dominate, but then Rafa had a big rally in the last minute or so, were very close to score.

Great Mexican Civil Wars in Boxing History:
Ruben Olivares vs Chucho Castillo I
Erik Morales vs Marco Antonio Barrera I
Carlos Zarate vs Alfonso Zamora
Lupe Pintor vs Carlos Zarate
Rafael Herrera vs Ruben Olivares I

Any others?

Wasn't Olivares v Castillo II also a great battle?
