Bro this has to be one of the best Boxing interviews ever

[@DavidGarcia-on9gn]

This is old? Because these two fuckers started a podcast and got into it again they split up and started doing shows by themselves. Now when they are together they still seem uncomftreble around each other

[@FC-kn3eb]

Props to the two INTERVIEWERS! I really enjoyed way more the classy questions and translations than the answers themselves, with all due respect to both fighters.

[@SharkTBE99]

Hell yeah

[@levonteking5040]

why?

[@FC-kn3eb]

@@levonteking5040 Because of the CLASSY, ACUTE questions, translations and SERIOUS TONE set by the INTERVIEWERS, even though that was constantly interrupted with "jokes" by the interviewed who definitely did not understand the TONE AND MOOD of the interview... If they both were in synch with it, it would have been EVEN WAY BETTER.

[@reynaldohernandez1425]

Osuna translation was on point. Amazing! No wonder why he is in the hall of fame.

[@LiLgPnoy15]

These guys' fights against Pacquiao were legendary. Mexicans and Filipinos, absolute warriors.

[@Jessica-cw1dn]

Morales vs Pacquio 1st fight was a beauty. Morales made it look so simple. His condition was superb

[@Jessica-cw1dn]

The translator was great. Word by word he translated. Awesome interview. Great questions and what an honor 2 legends of the best ever trilogies of all time boxing history. Beautiful 3 fights one on one all 12 rounds non stop fighting forward

[@SDIBINGA]

They squashed their beef? Word!! One of the greatest trilogies of all time!!! I wish fighters today were like this!!

[@lilpenny1982]

They squashed it a long time ago

[@Drendcolez]

Bro they have a podcast together 😂 the first episodes were hard to watch cause they were always dissing each other but they cool now

[@lilpenny1982]

@@Drendcolez They are also together in TV Azteca.

[@Drendcolez]

@@lilpenny1982 not anymore bro, that was years ago. Crazy thing is they had Morales, Barrera AND Márquez together at tv azteca, of course sht didn't work lol Morales always starting sht.

[@lilpenny1982]

@@Drendcolez I also have a feeling that Barrera and JMM don't get along. In fact, Barrera said that he gets along better with Pac than he does with JMM. And JMM and Barrera are both Mexican.

Osuna, is the best translator and didn’t leave anything out…

[@lowkey001]

2 of the greatest to do it! Trilogy is one of or greatest ever! Viva Mexico 🇲🇽

[@ArnoldNieto]

No one is going to mention how good osuna translates?!

[@FerGL]

he speak a very clean english

[@Warrior_By_birth]

Yeah.. I was reading the English CC and the words said that the Dr told him he (Barrera) will be responsible and was trying to ensure that it was interpreted correctly, then Osuna translated PERFECT.

[@eliasrico8510]

When Barrera started speaking English and Erik chuckled 😭😂, Mexican dudes fr fr 💪🏽

[@Govanmauler]

Legends❤

[@woahtf8567]

A lot of people don’t give them the respect they deserve but they are up there & right around JCC & Salvador Sanchez & Ricardo Lopez much respect they have their own podcast in Spanish

[@bernie4366]

Bro they're first ballot hall of famers and super famous in the US, Mexico and the Phillipines. I don't really see how they could be more respected.

[@Luiscvizcaino]

Wow what an episode. Sr. Osuna mis respetos señor para conducir la entrevista y la traducción siempre es la mejor. No hay nadie quien relate exactamente lo que se dice. Doug Fisher con su experiencia y que se diga de los campeones. Gracias

[@dougiefischer1970]

Thank you.

[@FC-kn3eb]

Sin duda disfruté mucho más de la conducción y traducción de Doug y Bernardo que de las respuestas; quedó patente (y muchos comentarios aquí leo están resaltando) de cómo DESTACÓ en esta entrevista EL NIVEL DE LOS ENTREVISTADORES.

[@StArLioN_]

GREAT INTERVIEW. WE FINALLY GET AN INTERVIEW OF BOTH LEGENDS IN ENGLISH SUB . USUALLY I CANT UNDERSTAND THEM CAUSE MOST VIDEOS OF THEM ARE IN SPANISH LANGUAGE.

[@FC-kn3eb]

I would have loved to see this same interview to ARTURO GATTI & MICKY WARD as well as to CASTILLO & CORRALES; for me, the 2 BEST RILVALRIES in the modern era in terms of HOW SPECTACULAR, GLADIATORIAL AND EPIC THOSE FIGHTS WERE!!!

[@Jessica-cw1dn]

Ward was getting punched the first 6 rounds, no defense. Barrera vs Morales was a total different level

[@FC-kn3eb]

@@Jessica-cw1dn Respectable opinion of YOURS. I just want to share a memorable quote BY GATTI that sums it up on a perfect line you can check: “I used to wonder what it would feel like to fight my twin. Now I know.” - Arturo Gatti speaking on Micky Ward. What great line to describe probably the ...

[@MrWeliz]

Michael Carbajal vs Chiquita Gonzales

[@FC-kn3eb]

@@MrWeliz I have to check that one, I've heard it's a good one. As a trilogy (just in my opinion and certainly for many too) Gatti-Ward was something EXTRAORDINARY and considering the whole trilogy took place in only 13 months... even more! The LEAST IMPORTANT was the result itself (actually many people don't even remember). BOTH FIGHTERS WERE ELEVATED AFTER susch a memorable trilogy.

[@noobsubs8704]

That would be great

[@Mexicansouthpaw]

Great trilogy!

[@lilpenny1982]

Probably the best from great all time fighters in their primes. The only one that can compare is the Ali vs Frazier trilogy.

[@jvkalex9080]

I just LOVE when former bitter rivals become best friends!!! This is my all time favourite boxing story!!!

[@domphoenixbgky]

this guys keep boxing alive

[@ericktellez7632]

Morales the only one to beat Manny in his prime.

[@bigrich693]

Wow this is amazing! You have no idea how much I appreciate all of these interviews. All of these interviews brought up so many memories of me watching these fights at mom’s house as a kid! These fighters were my idols!

[@stevenbethune]

Absolutely love this fantastic

[@adamlees8410]

The difference between legends like these two great warriors and most champions today is they wanted to give fans the best possible fights instead of just winning the fights. If they didn't fight with their whole soul they felt they'd let the public down. Most guys today don't care about giving fans excitement, they just want to pick certain opponents and coast to victory which is fine. Just don't expect your name to be remembered in the years to come like Marco and Erik's will be.

[@nealgreg1]

That First Morales Barrera fight best scrap I've ever seen

[@Warrior_By_birth]

I heard the Barrera head surgery story and there was a bad translation, the surgeon said “you can continue fighting, I’ll sign as a responsible party” not that Barrera “was responsabilidad”. On “Un Round Más” podcast Barrera said that if the “doctor was responsible” he was happy to continue boxing because it showed the doctors level of confidence on his work. The doctor was by ring side in his fights the rest of his career.

[@ismaelca6532]

excelente entrevista, dos grandes campeones, gracias

[@lilpenny1982]

Morales and Barrera had great fights with Pac back in the days

[@MrWeliz]

[@noobsubs8704]

There’s still some animosity between the two, at one point a few weeks after their podcast started they split up, no longer did podcast together and would interview people separately. They have reconciled since but still they have different personalities that tend to clash, they just keep it respectful now.
