Thread: Erik Morales wins comeback fight

Eric Morales scored a unanimous decision over Jose Alfaro to win his comeback fight, did anyone see this fight? I didn't see the fight but Im interested in how Morales looked in the fight. Thanks guys!

he won a grueling fight against a former lightweight titlist who is a small welter. Erik will not win any major welter belt, too slow and not enought power imo. He should stay retired.

Good on you Erik Morales its just a shame, the judges robbed you of making history vs David Diaz.

well i just saw the fight, Morales looked extremely soft, but in the fight he didn't look as bad as i expected him to be, he could have stopped his opponent but pretty much boxed most the fight, his speed is pretty much non-existent, his counters were fairly sharp against weak opposition (and ring rust), and his defense wasn't too good either he took a couple flush shots and he's lucky that this guy didn't really have any power, he did have surprisingly good stamina though, went the full 12 rounds and didn't seem too tired, although there was some mess up with the clock counting down the final round lol

he said that he's probably gonna try and drop to 140 or 135 for his next fight though

i say good for him that he picked up the W but should just hang em up on this victory

But him wishing for a 4th fight against Pacquiao? Give him a coffin...

Mayweather might call him out..

yet Pacquiao is the one looking to fight the likes of Margarito, Marquez, and Valero (a lightweight)

Oh as far as I can remember, it was Freddie Roach who suggested that Pacquiao should fight Valero..But Pacquiao is still hoping for a Mayweather fight...

not all the time buddy...Did Roach tell Pacquiao to train at the Philippines for the Cotto fight?

Going back to the topic, Morales still entertains the fans despite his diminished skills...But I do not see him getting a Welterweight title...He is still a legend...

bullshit, Arum wanted Foreman, Roach said no so they went with Clottey, Arum also had mentioned Malignaggi as a possible opponent

I haven't seen the fight, did he look good in the comeback or?
