I didnt see the fight but I ask this because the round by round guy for Boxing Scene made it sound that way. He had Morales winning alot of rounds and after the fight he basically said that Diaz got the decision because it was his hometown and Fran Charles also thought Morales won
morales landed more punches
he threw less
meanin he was much much more accurate
so his punches were cleaner shots
he stunned or got diaz attention on several occasions
that alone should be enough to get him the win
not to mention that the fighters faces told the story of who was landing more and better shots
but whats most diaz fan argument
he was the champ
ya gotta take the title
to most he did
now the final blow to show why morales won
the KD
the reason i think they gave it to diaz
or the reason that theyll try to use
cuz morales really looked more tired
whi is true
he did seem more tired after the fight and in between rounds
but during the rounds ya couldnt really tell
he still moved around well
and land and threw better punches
diaz may ohave thrown more
but to me
they were just flaylying shots
a last ditch effort to show that he wasnt done
and it worked
he made the judges feel he was in control
but everytime morales would hit him with somethin nice
hed flail away and throw alot of meaningless punches
so i see what theyll try to say
bottom line
morales landed more and got the KD
busted up diaz face
its clear he was only leaven a 4 division champ if hed KOd diaz
I can't believe you people are still whining about your "Hero" losing this fight.
You see the fight the way you want to see it. It doesn't go the way you predicted so you say "he was robbed".
You know what the best part of the evening was?
Seeing the look on the faces of the Morales "worshipers" around me (who actually booed during the U.S. national anthem) when the unanimous decision was read.
Especially the guy with the Tshirt that read "They can't deport us all".
Wanna bet?
I'll be honest I'm a fan of Morales and I wanted him to win, but did you see the fight? IMO Morales won rounds 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 ,10 with round 11 going either way. Now a lot of those rounds were close, but look at Diaz's face and compare it to Morales. Diaz had a huge swelling around his right eye, while Morales face was still clean. Now I'm willing to admit that Morales didn't deserve that 4th title if he didn't do enough to win, but he obviously did, and that's why I felt and many people felt that Morales was robbed.

My jaw dropped to the floor when Diaz was announced the winner.
Morales 'denied' of a 4th title by these god damn judges! Line them up! They should be shot to death by firing squad!
The Truth.

i cant believe no1 noticed the low blows from diaz, look at how low morales shorts were from round 8 onwards and look at how low diaz's blows were...Can someone plz check and confirm it as i cant elieve i was the only one who noticed all those low blows
I'm not saying it was or wasn't a robbery but I see a lot of newbies posting that it was definitely a robbery. I wonder how many people screaming ROBBERY! actually saw the fight in good quality?
My 1st response on this thread but all I wanted to say is that there's a difference between a robbery and just thinking Morales won. It sounds like alot of you think it was a robbery but it also sounds like some of you are saying it was a robbery even though you think it was a close fight. There's no way it couldve went to Diaz?
ill put it like this, if diaz won close, then de la hoya should've won wide vs floyd....diaz's was ineffective aggression at its clearest...
Well normally I say any fight where I score 7 rounds to one guy can't be a robbery if it goes the other way; however, I thought Morales clearly won at least 5-6 rounds. Diaz clearly won 2 or 3 and many were damn close. What I don't understand is how all the judges can give Diaz every close round, especially when Morales outlanded him most of the rounds and landed the cleaner, more accurate punches. It was close though so robbery is a tough word to use.

On a side note, did Diaz not land a punch when Morales went down in round 2? That should have been called a knockdown if I'm not mistaken. Someone please clarify
I think Diaz won...!
He's the Champ.. close fight goes to tha Champ... Morales has been in this Bizz a long time he should know... You either Knock the guy out or you beat the guy convincely for most of the fight!!! Is Diaz's back yard!
Morales eres un grandisimo pendeho!
I wonder if the judges should be at ring side why can't they be somewhere else watching it on a monitor away from the crowd, you could infact judge the fight anywhere in the world and nobody should no who the judges are until the first bell i think this would stop the fucking cheats, have i just come up with the best idea ever
I mean sometimes it's hard to tell who's landing and who isn't the first time you watch something (which is all the judges have), but when one guy clearly wins 5-6 rounds and the other guy struggles to clearly win any, there's something wrong with giving him every close round.
It's about time their was an appeals panel for this kind of thing, since boxing began there has been this prob and nobody wants to do anything about it as next week everyone has forgot about it as their is another dodgy decision.
bastard judges, ex boxers should be doing it they still can be bought but at least they now about boxing unlike these fuckers.
I believe he was robbed after sitting down and scoring it. The judges awarded every close round to Diaz and pretty much gave Morales the rounds he clearly won (like 3, 4, 5 and 9). Here is my card.
DIAZ ROUND MORALES
8 1 10
10 2 9
9 3 10
9 4 10
9 5 10
9 6 10
10 7 9
9 8 10
9 9 10
10 10 9
10 11 9
10 12 9
112 TOTAL 115
looking at the scorecards those judges should be sacked on the spot, absolutly sickening
As usual the judges don't have to answer to anyone, but they should. If this fight had of been in Vegas, different story.
NO! he definately didn't get robbed, diaz was putting pressure on morales all fight and working much harder, good decision by the judges!
IDIOT. it wasnt effective aggression. Morales was ROBBED!
