I was worried last night that Erik was going to show up with nothing in the tank like Gatti vs. Gomez. I was glad to see that didn't happen, Erik fought very hard in a tough fight.

We all know that fighters never retire after a win, it's always after a loss. This is the perfect time for Morales to retire, because he lost, but he gave a very respectable account of himself and went out on his feet.

I just hope he does retire. David Diaz isn't very good, Morales would get beaten by a wide margin by the other Diaz's or Casamayor.

While I hope he does retire..... man, will I miss watching him fight. He provided more thrillers over the years than any other fighter in boxing. He'll be in the Hall of Fame 5 years from now when he becomes eligible.
