As one of the commentators could not stop saying, Maidana was 'old mann'ed'. Quite embarrassing for him, really, with Erik way past his prime and having come out of retirement and fought a few nobodies, he steps up to the guy most people recognise as the #1 contender in their weight class, and gives him a boxing lesson. Prepared or not, an impressive display from Morales, who deserved a draw at the very least. The man landed the (much) better shots and made Maidana look like an amateur with the use of only ONE eye for roughly 90% of the fight. Feel bad for Erik, but it's not the first time, and nor will it be the last, that ineffective aggression is preferred over boxing skill.
