Boxing: Assassin plots downfall of El Terrible

VC Bet report plenty of interest in the draw at 25/1 for this weekend's super-featherweight bout between Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales. The two Mexicans square up for the third time in the early hours of Sunday morning with VC Bet's boxing man Ivan Stojanovic predicting a storming contest. "Their previous two fights have been tremendous battles and there's no reason to suggest that it will be any different the third time. "With so little to choose between them I'm not surprised to see interest in the draw." Strong interest at 25s has seen the firm cut the draw to 20/1. The first bout between Barrera and Morales in 2000 - at super bantamweight - is widely recognised as one of the greatest fights of all time but the judges' split decision in favour of Morales caused outrage among large sections of the boxing world. Barrera, nicknamed the Baby-Faced Assassin, won the rematch two years later - at featherweight - on a unanimous decision. "You could argue that Barrera has beaten Morales twice now so perhaps the force is with the Assassin. "People were starting to write Barrera off after his defeat to Manny Pacquiao last year but a good win against Paulie Ayala this summer suggests he's not finished yet." Reigning WBC and IBF super featherweight champion Morales - nicknamed El Terrible - is VC Bet's 1/2 favourite to win the fight with Barrera rated a 6/4 chance. "You'd have to think the 5lb move up in weight from their last contest would suit the taller Morales but this fight really is too close to call."
