Morales fails to make weight for Garcia

[J_C]

Morales 142lbs, Garcia 139.5lbs. Vacated title then. Looks like Morales didnt even attempt to make weight. Hes preserving strength for the KO!

Pathetic. He already looked out of shape and fat-faced at 140. I bet Garcia outweighs him in the ring anyway.

This is unfortunate. You except more from a guy of Morales professionalism and history. We've see much of this lately, just blowing off the contracted weight.

Morales is a punk for doing this. No excuses, people like Mayweather, Morales and Guzman need to be horsewhipped for this flagrant violation of contractual weights. Heavy fines should certainly be in place for this kind of thing.

HOUSTON -- Erik Morales was stripped of his junior welterweight belt when he failed to make the 140-pound limit at Friday afternoon's weigh-in for his first defense against Danny Garcia.

Morales, looking extremely drawn, weighed 142 pounds and never tried to take off the two extra pounds. Instead, he sat down immediately and began drinking water.

Garcia, who scaled 139½ pounds, can win the vacant title when he fights Morales on Saturday night (HBO, 10 ET) at Reliant Arena.

So Garcia can still win the vacant WBC title, let's hope Danny gives Morales a good ass-whipping.

Morales needs to retire, he's struggling because of his old age.
