I've never seen this fight personally but I remember the day after ESPN said it was "shady scoring" .

It wasn't a blowout by any means, it ended up being close cause Morales faded at the end. It definately appeared Morales was ahead though. I have seen much worse decisions.

It really was close, any claim from Morales' camp of bias was on the strength of his performance in the first 5-6 rounds of the fight. The remainder bottom half rounds saw EM fading, negating any lead he built in the said begining rounds. Diaz finishing strong, in my opinion, earned a narrow win!

what he said, there have been much much worse, Morales being such a legendary and popular fighter made the outcry more than it usually would be considering it wasn't that horrible a decision compared to some. He should have got the decision though.
