When Featherweight Champion Marco Antonio Barrera vacates the WBC title he won from Erik Morales in their summer rematch, "El Terrible" gets another shot to recapture the gold, which is put up for grabs between him and Paulie Ayala. Ayala makes him earn it by coming to fight, but Morales again becomes champion with his finest performance in years, pummeling Ayala for twelve rounds en route to the unanimous decision.
