Maidana/Morales

[ICB]

Robbery? What a surprise ()

Maidana won a close-ish fight fair and square. I had it about 8-4 Maidana. Some close swing rounds though.

I've been hearing Erik Morales won 8 rounds to 4, but it probably will be alot closer when i see it. Was it a good fight action wise ?

Yes it was. Anyone scoring it 8-4 for Morales did so with rose-tinted glasses for the old boy. That's a joke.

If Morales won, he did so by the skin of his teeth. But i seriously disagree with Morales winning.

i think 8-4 Maidana is ridiculous as well, i had Morales winning by one round so easily could see it a draw or Maidana winning a very close decision due to him winning the last 2 rounds, either way Morales should hold his head up high and know that he showed why he'll go down as one of the greatest fighters in the history of the sport

Maidana won the fight some of the rounds were close but Maidana just did enough to win them imo. Morales put up a hell of a fight even fighting with more or less 1 eye from round 1 onwards due to swelling.

I didn't score it round by round. I generally felt is was about 8-4 Maidana.

With just the one viewing - I can clearly remember thinking Maidana definitively won rounds - 1,3,9,11,12. Morales definitively won round 8.

That's 5 rounds to 1 to Maidana. The other six rounds were 50/50 or Morales rounds. So the only way Morales won the fight is if you favour him in all the close rounds. That's what the SKY commentators did

i personally thought that Morales won the 3rd, i had Maidana winning rounds 1 and 2, then he fizzled out a bit from the 5th till the 8th and yea i had Morales taking a clean sweep of those rounds

Funny old game this scoring lark. I'm not sure Maidana clearly won the 2nd. I'm certain Maidana didn't lose all through 5-8 (well maybe if they were close). He definitely lost 8. But either 6 or 7 i'm sure Maidana bossed the majority of the round before Morales finished with an eye catching last 30 secs. I'm sure of this because I laughed when the commentator said - "a Morales round"

When Morales lost the last two rounds I figured he would get a draw, because I had him up by two after ten, which suprised me. I hadn't been keeping a round by round score but I thought Morales was winning fairly clearly so I was suprised to find I had him only up two.

i'm sure we can agree it was a very close fight, that it could have gone either way, and merits a rematch
