IMO Morales lost the fight in the last two rounds, but what a fucking amazing performance.
I can't split them.
I know who everyone wants to win, but Maidana started and finished the fight in charge....
Maidana took the last two IMO. How do you score that? Close, close fight.
Morales needed that last rd, and didn't get it. Great fight!
I dunno I think its gonna go to Maidana by a round...wouldnt argue if it did.
I desperately want Morales to get the win, but I just don't think it's going to happen. Losing the last two rounds sunk him IMO.Quote:

have no prob with him getting the nod but i think that the scores were a bit crazy, i had Morales up one round
Probably fair. I think he took 1,2,11 and 12 for certain. That left Morales with a lot of ground to make up in the middle.
Maidana probably deserved the win, but man was I hoping to here "...for ERIC "EL TERRIBLE" MORALES!".
Oh well, he did an amazing job.
That's a shame. Has echoes of the Diaz fight, though this was much closer.
To think how he might have fought with two good eyes?
Fair play, Maidana won it in the last 2 rounds.
Yeah, very close, but the right guy probably shaded it.Quote:

116-112 a bit off imo. but no problem with Maidana taking the win. Helluva job by Morales tho and a great fight.
Like Kellerman said, this fight just goes to show you how great Morales was in his younger years.
Yeh one the last two pullede it out...now both get huge fights. If GBP signs Alvarez vs Morales I'm calling the cops
Morales is one of the proudest fighters ive seen, no doubt. Bradley destroys Maidana...shocker I know
They fucking robbed him. I'm done with boxing
For tonight
Not sure I view Maidaina any different. Hopefully Morales does say goodbye..
Man, I just fucking love Morales. What a great interview.
Bradley would school him and make it look easier than Khan did (I think Khan could beat Bradley but that's boxing, styles make fights, etc). It took ten rounds or so for Maidana to figure out that he should throw a right hand when Khan was moving to the left, he's just limited.Quote:

He is what he always was. A crude, limited pressure fighter with a ton of heart and a shit-ton of power.Quote:

No words to describe Morales, just a total legend. Very close fight, and one of those fights that is really difficult to score... your heart is forcing you one way, but your head is trying to force you the other way. I gave up and decided to just sit back and think how privileged I am to be seeing the master in action one more time. :cool:
Fuck. I missed the interview. What he say?Quote:

I thought Morales had it-maybe I gave him too many close rounds? He looked a little off, timing-wise, but he fought a pretty smart fight and, I thought, landed the cleaner sharper punches. But I lost the video and didn't see the last round and a half. Still....
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!Quote:

Thanks Bilbo.. Hope your good too! I'm a poster in Emeritus status, enjoying my Saddo pension..
CFH,
Does Maidana remind you of Edison Miranda a bit?
I just hope he calls it quits, this is already a great finale for Erik. If this fight was made when Erik was in his prime Maidana would not win a round IMO.Quote:

Maybe a little bit, at least in terms of how limited he is and how inflated his opinion of himself seems to be. However, he can take a punch and also recovers well when he is hurt, two things Miranda lacks.Quote:

Against a prime Morales Maidana wouldn't have seen the third round.Quote:

I'm proud to say that it was Erik Morales who last whooped Manny's behind;D
Morales should just be inducted into the HOF tonight. He shouldn't even have to waitQuote:
