received at the hands of Guty Espadas back in 2003? I think it was one of the worst judging robberies of the last 10 years, utter bullshit.
I thought Espadas put a master class boxing lesson on Morlaes and won every round, except maybe the 5th. I think the fight was for the WBC Featherweight belt.
I think Espadas is close to being done but I'd like to see him get a real world title before he calls it a career, he deserves it.....
Yea they took the victory from Guty, that was the first fight i saw of his.
What stood out the most about it was Guty didn't complain like a little bitch. He took the loss like a man and pretty much said he must have not done enough to win. Im glad to see him back in the championship picture, according to boxrec the last fight he had (yesterday) was a WBC featherweight eliminator.
true it was. i'd like to see him get a shot at linares or guererro. i think he will beat either of these fighters.....

I thought Espadas deserved a better fate in the 1st fight, but like everyone says, he got dealt wit the 2nd time so it don't count for much.
i think it counts for what it was. on that day, at that time, he took one of the worlds prime p4p fighters to school, gave him a stiff ass kicking and took his WBC belt. that would be pretty significant to anyone who tought of themself as a world class professional fighter.....
I was at that fight, I don't think Espadas won it but it was a close, Morales didn't look too good in that fight. He was comming off the war with Barrera and his conditioning wasn't great, he faded especially in the 12 he took a big bomb and almost went down. Floyd was at the fight so was Judah and a few other fighters.
I thought Erik won a close fight. The 116-112 cards were off...that's why a lot of people were so upset.
Boxing fans weren't used to seeing Erik fight like that...weren't expecting a guy like Guty to press him. It was a close fight, but I thought Erik pulled it out.
I havn't seen the fight
I'm gonna try to go through my VHS tapes this week and see if I can find the fight. I have it on one of them. I'll then try to convert it and upload for everyone. It is must see boxing.....
I remember that fight, and I thought Morales lost too. I was pissed because Morales seemed to be on cruise control the entire fight. Just so you'll know, Morales is my all time favorite. Deep down, I'm sure Morales felt he lost too, because he sure handled business in the rematch.
Do you all know what Morales means in spanish?
Worth every penny!
The problem is...well...dude got manhandled by juarez in 2, thus that fight was probably all he had left back in 03.
dude DID get handled by Juarez, no doubt, but the ass whooping he put on a PRIME Erik Morales was beyond impressive.
Probably Hyperion hahah.
Well clearly...
I knew who it was, I just didn't know whether dropping that name would help or anything.
But yes, it was -Hyperion-.
