Maidana - Morales Fight Thread

[CFH]

I read in fightnews that Maidana is ok for a rematch, Erik shouldnt have asked for one. I fear for Morales' health

When Morales asked for one Maidana came up to the mike and said "we can do it anytime, we can do it tomorrow".

I'm sure he would looking at that eye of Morales!

I am cool with a rematch. Morales is never going to be what he was, but he showed that he is still as good as the young ones using all that experience and class. Maidana could neither seriously hurt Morales (Khan) nor stop him (Ortiz). Bring on the rematch and let's see how Morales does with two functioning eyes.

Morales turned in one hell of a performance. Very surprising and impressive. He WON THE FIGHT !

But once again, the judges, in their infinite wisdom screwed him.

A draw woulda been givin Maidana something, but I coulda swallowed a draw.

But a 116-112 victory for Maidana !?

Morales landed the much more accurate effective punches. He lost the last two rounds, but before that he had already won 7 rounds.

I don't think 116-112 is outside the realms of credibility.

I think the majority would concede Morales lost round 1,2,11 and 12. If they splitthe rest, that would be 116-112.

It's not impossible.

I had it a very close fight, but Maidana deserved the nod imo and 116-112 although a bit wide is hardly a corrupt score.

Bilbo, HAROLD LEDDERMAN HAD IT A DRAW.

LEDDERMAN.

The man scores for the house fighter EVERY SINGLE TIME. And he had it a fucking draw. So what does that tell you ?

Also I had the 2nd round for Morales. Morales won the fihgt and at worst got a draw, even on Harold's scorecard.

I don't have a problem with his score either. It was a close fight and many rounds might have gone either way.

It's a subjective sport and we all wanted Morales to win.

Had Morales got the nod 116-112 probably nobody would have cried robbery because he was the sentimental favourite.

But if u lose the first two, and last two rounds, it's going to be hard to win the fight, and I think Morales did lose those so 116-112 isn't impossible.

I'm not saying it's my score, it's just not a robbery.

Like I said I gave the 2nd to Morales, and he won 7 rounds in my book.

Love to play the Devil's advocate don't ya, you cheeky bastard.

Morales started slow in the 1st, but started to come on and land some good jabs, straight rights, hooks and occasional hooks.

He controlled the fight when it was in the center of the ring, but throughout the fight Maidana would back him up against the ropes and pound on him.

Morales looked hurt a couple of times but never wobbly or visibly shaken.

He got in some great exchanges with Maidana and backed him off with combination punches.

Fought his heart out, but faded in the last two rounds and had to survive an onslaught from Maidana.

Probably fight of the year.
