Erik Morales vs. Danny Garcia Saturday night fight thread

115-113 Garcia. Won it in the last 2 rounds cos I think Morales started going to war in the 10th/11th and got caught. Garcia definitely edged a close fight so no complaints on the verdict.

The scorecards on the other hand....10-2 and 9-3 Garcia? really?

Yup that's not realistic at all. I hope Texas makes some major changes in refs, the way the commission does things, judges, and/or how fights are getting scored, et al, right now it stinks.

CFH, you didn't miss anything in the main event bro, and you wouldn't have liked the judges scorecards.

Good job going shopping.

FUCK OPEN SCORING

I had Erik Morales winning 7 rounds - 5, add in that knockdown and Morales still wins by a point, but I wouldn't argue with a draw.

However, I do not believe that knockdown would have ever occurred had Morales not been forced into hell bent for leather Kamikaze mode after hearing he was so behind on the corrupt score cards.

Morales outboxed Garcia in the center of the ring for long stretches of the fight, I really disagreed with jackass Ledderman giving Garcia rounds 6-10.

Damn shame to see Morales get shafted like that on the scorecards and forced into a do or die situation when he looked to be cruising to a decision win by out working and out boxing the much younger fighter.

Molina fought a horrible fight and was never warned so in a way Im kinda glad he got thrown out. Was the act itself worthy of a DQ? Probably not, but the bell cannpot save a fighter in any round yet Molinas corner entered thew ring so the ref stuck by the rules, therfore I dont have much of a problem with it.

Garcia didnt impress me much. He was fighting an old sot fighter but he fought at Eriks pace and never really went for it. It was his chance to make a name for hismelf but he was happy waiting and was very negative. He deserved the decision in the end and its not often you see Morales go down from a single shot out the blue but Garcia let him off the hook in the last round. Baffling.
