I did have a score at the time. I don't know what it was now.

Boxing is an odd sport. You work VERY hard, but if you lose the round the other guy wins the round and you get nothing... even if it's a close round.

Morales' talent and conditioning lead him to an exciting victory. Great fight. Famoso never gave up. All I can say is that many thought it was close. It was one of those fights where Famoso brought EVERYTHING and came with EVERYTHING, but lost to a better fighter that night.

I know I didn't have it 115-113! WAY TOO CLOSE!!! Famoso's heart made it close, but I have to count Morales' skillfull display!!!
119-109 is a shutout! haha The fight wasn't a shutout, by no means.

But it was one of those fights where Famoso landed two punches on Morales' head, but Morales slipped 3 of them and landed a 1-2 cleanly on Famoso's head. And Famoso kept truckin' while Morales slipped a few and landed some crowd pleasing combo's. But Famoso made it great for his fans by never giving up and landing a few great punches.

But no doubt Morales won convincingly.
