You're absolutely right. The angles he's using from hips and shoulders allowed for power on the inside. Much of it seems to stem from his footwork. They say he was raised in a boxing ring and it definitely shows in those little details.
Mayweather is probably the best defensive of this era but that makes his fights boring. Castillo made him work, landed on Mayweather and as I saw it, won the fight…but got robbed.
I watched this live, back in the day. Morales' entrance/entrance song still gives me the chills. JJ beat Barrera twice before this fight. I had doubts Morales could do it. F**king rights I leapt off my couch when he knocked JJ down. Great fight. Morales is my fav fighter of all time.
@@aldinewestfield5821 la neta para mi marquez fue mejor que barrera y morales lo que paso fue que no le daban la misma publicidad pero su record lo demuestra a marquez el paquio nunca lo KO y a barrera si igual al terrible de echo yo lo vi ganar en la 1 pelea 2 y 3 pudo ser empate y la 4 ya todos sabemos que lo puso a dormir pero bueno cada quien tiene su opinion carnal
Mad props for Jones having the balls to fight someone like Morales in his hometown, that couldn't have been easy. Respect for him. It's a shame fighters these days can't show the same courage.
Agree even though was going for Morales that is the honest Truth that takes a lot to go in someone else's home and go against all odds... Good fight! 🥊🥊🥊
@@heartofbrowardcounty142 Hahahaha you re stupid man, Canelo has huge balls, The MEXICAN 🇲🇽🥊💪 always fight outside :) how does it feel to look like an idiot hater that speaks with the liver instead of using your 🧠?
Barrera got the best of Morales in the head to head 2-1 but Morales had the huge advantage in common opponents beating 2 fighters that Barrera could not beat in Pacquiao and Jones.
2-1 Morales and even then I'm loathe to count the third against him, given Marco was staggering like a drunk in the 11th. Not surprising Morales cleaned up TWICE after Marco.
I'm 55 and grew up in the boxing game. El Terrible gave more thrills in 3 fights than Mayweather gave me in a lifetime. Gracias Erik Morales Campeon Mundial
morales was amazing he would have beaten the hell out of these spoiled brats from nowadays this shakur stevenson kid and raushee warren would have been knocked unconscious.... and the way he performed against maidana and danny garcia at such a late age and with such a size disadvantage was amazing.
ch1ngons1mon I think it would have been an exciting fight almost as exciting as the great Barrera fights, tough one to choose there because of styles and donaire is great himself
Great fight by two great boxing warrior legends Junior Jones was a great champion boxers who defeated Marco Barrera twice just like how Manny Pacquiao defeated Marco Barrera twicenbut Eric Morales defeated Junior Jones and Manny Pacquiao.
I don't know why they always say: He stop the fight with only a few sec left..It doesn't matter how much time is left, the fight must be stop when one of the boxers is unable to go on, regardless of how much time is left according to the rules..
That Mexican crowd was pure adrenaline!! Great fight El Terrible. These fighters were so much more entertaining than today's fighters. With a few exceptions.
chequen la pelea barrera Jones .pasó lo mismo que en esta pelea pero a la inversa creo que hasta el mismo round fue sorprendente.puro terrible de Tijuana

Grew up watching boxing behind my dad and grandpa in the late 90s and early 00s we must've watched hundreds of fights. Erik Morales was the best of all-time, you knew El Terrible was going to bring it no matter what.
pues por eso gano por que e s boxeador y fajador muchos son solo boxeadores pero no son fajadores los morenos son boxeadores y muy buenos pero cuando s e topan con uno que e s boxeador y fajador alli pierden
I don't think people realize how much balls it takes to fight a man in his hometown because if you win, who knows how the locals might react. Nevertheless excellent win for Morales.
Erik at 23 shows why he is a legend. Junior Jones was no chump, a great fighter in his own right but despite what the commentators said, he didn’t have the bang to keep El Terrible off. Respect to Jones.
Al parecer el golpe que menciona Morales, el golpe que lo dejó paralizado ocurre en el 11:56. La verdad es que no estoy seguro, pero el sonido es bastante fuerte.
Зачётно Эрик Моралес отметелил Джуниора Джонса. И бой правильно был остановлен, рефери прав на все сто. Красивый поединок, мевейзер так не мог, Эрик Моралес чемпион!!!
The same commentator who was criticizing the stoppage on Chavez vs taylor is saying this was a good stoppage seconds before the end of the round,shame on them
Damn. Junior Jones rehydrated 17 lbs. after the weigh-in. Lol. No wonder why he moved up to Featherweight after this bout. I think maybe he had some trouble losing the weight during training camp which could weaken the boxer.
Realmente sorprendente Morales a los 22 años donde se encontraba ya en la esfera de los mejores peleadores y ganado a pulso ..la Canela puede ser campeón en todas las divisiones habidas y por haber pero nunca comparado con un campeón de verdad q sus 4 títulos en diferente peso los ganó a sangre y fuego
Venia muy crecido el moreno, pero nuestro campeon estab en otro nivel!! Yo creo que desde que vi esta pelea en vivo supe que siempre estara Erik en mi mente. Que campeón
So crazy listening to these announcers, Morales from round 1 was chopping him down with that overhand right.... And I had him up 3 to nothing... It was obvious that Jones was being backed up and scared by the third round...
como es que dicen que barrera era mejor que morales junior jones le gano 2 veces a barrera y manny packia tambien le gano 2 veces y el terrible les gano a los 2 y en la trilogia con barrera en la ultima pelea se la robaron a morales descaradamente todo el publico asi lo vio inclusive muchos boxeadores dijeron que se la habian robado
Gran campeón el terrible, saludos a todos los mexicanos desde Nicaragua.
Morales in his prime, just unstopable, a titan. My fav mexican fighter after chavez.
to me is Salvador Sanches, Finito Lopez, Chavez and Morales.
@suenos8819 Sal was the best, he just didnt have enough time
@eduardocervantesaca Facts. Skill wise, Sal was better than Chavez.
Morales has the best boxing posture I've ever seen. He never looked like he was in trouble even when he was. It was just so powerful.
You haven't seen much then...

Clean stoppage in my eyes. Boxers have lives after boxing. Look at all these boxers dying from brain trauma. Good stuff ref !
yup....when he got the right and left and he ducked...he is a done...one punch away from head injury.
To be fair tho theyre gonna die from dementia anyways. Even if you stop the fight early they will die from it.

I had it Morales 2-1 but they were close well fought fights... Morales outlanded and was busier then Barrera in both those fights for me that he won.
@@divockorigi3899 absolutely.
I agree with the 2 to 1 in favour of Barrera vs Moralles but l think Barrera won the first and third fights not the second and third bouts.

No c t olvide q Jones l Gano a Barrera
Pero lo chingo un mexicano
Exactly. Even the commentators said it, he’s a slow starter
I've watched this Fight Tons of Times and it Never Gets Old... 👍🥊🥊👍
Morales y sus peleas inolbidables mi idolo
Estos son los guerreros mexicanos de verdad peleadores
Contra un wey que venía de perder por nocaut
Como el Canelo Alvarez.
Cuando morales tiraba chingasos con el alcance que tiene que bonito los tiraba
Jones," He is not that good." " Then where does that place you?" LOL Pride gets you everytime.

one of the best techniques I've seen in boxing history, morales.
If u wanna se "Tech" there are Salvador Sanchez and Finito Lopez.
SE TOPO CON UN CAMPEON, ESO FUE TODO.
Pero el ya se habia topado con otro campeonazo, Marco Antonio Barrera, y le habia ganado dos veces....
I don't know why they always say:

is left, the fight must be stop when
one of the boxers is unable to go on, regardless of how much time is left according to the rules..
34-0 ?? Well Morales one of the best in Mexican boxing history
Miguel Kast HAHAHA GOOD JOKE .morales was a brave rooster but julio ceasar chavez is the best mexican fighter
Hector Diaz not with all those scrubs
I personally think he was one of the best.
Julio Cesar Chavez 86.0

I don't think people realize how much balls it takes to fight a man in his hometown because if you win, who knows how the locals might react. Nevertheless excellent win for Morales.
If that's how you feel,then American boxers have the smallest balls in boxing because most fights are in their home town,USA.
