Yea, if the fight was scored up to that point, it should have been a Morales win. But the last 2 rds is where he lost it, unfortunately.

Fuck. I missed the interview. What he say?
He thought it was a close fight, that Maidana might have won, but it wasn't a clean victory and that he feels he won. Called for a rematch. Talked about his pride, dignity, and how he fights for the people of Tijuana. Ended the interview with a Viva Mexico!
He just has a great way of phrasing things.
Morales should just be inducted into the HOF tonight. He shouldn't even have to wait
He should have been immediately inducted after the first Barrera fight.

Re: Maidana - Morales Fight Thread
I'll need to watch again, was watching at a bar but had it 115-113 for Morales. I'm a little biased being he's my favorite fighter of all time. But 116-112 is a FVCKING joke!

Man, I wish I lived somewhere were they showed fights like this in bars. The only fight I have ever seen advertised as being shown in a bar here was Mayweather - De La Hoya.

Nope, and I'll be cheering for Pacquiao if it comes off.

Re: Maidana - Morales Fight Thread
I read in fightnews that Maidana is ok for a rematch, Erik shouldnt have asked for one. I fear for Morales' health :(

When Morales asked for one Maidana came up to the mike and said "we can do it anytime, we can do it tomorrow".

I'm sure he would looking at that eye of Morales! :rolleyes:
I am cool with a rematch. Morales is never going to be what he was, but he showed that he is still as good as the young ones using all that experience and class. Maidana could neither seriously hurt Morales (Khan) nor stop him (Ortiz). Bring on the rematch and let's see how Morales does with two functioning eyes.
Re: Maidana - Morales Fight Thread
Morales turned in one hell of a performance. Very surprising and impressive. He WON THE FIGHT !
But once again, the judges, in their infinite wisdom screwed him.
A draw woulda been givin Maidana something, but I coulda swallowed a draw.
But a 116-112 victory for Maidana !?
Morales landed the much more accurate effective punches. He lost the last two rounds, but before that he had already won 7 rounds.

I don't think 116-112 is outside the realms of credibility.
I think the majority would concede Morales lost round 1,2,11 and 12. If they splitthe rest, that would be 116-112.
It's not impossible.
I had it a very close fight, but Maidana deserved the nod imo and 116-112 although a bit wide is hardly a corrupt score.
