I'll admit. I opted to go to work yesterday rather than take the day off for the fight because I feared the worst would happen to Morales. I didn't want to watch an old legend get battered around like Castillo has. I was wrong and very glad I was.
MAD props to Morales for finding that heart and spirit within him to make it a fight. This is why people all over the world grew to love him and why he has fans of all different races and backgrounds.
This fight also leads me to ask a question that's been troubling me today.. Was this, like Mosley's fight against Margo, Erik's one last hurrah! Or is it maybe that he isn't at all shot and never was.. maybe just going through a troubling time in his career?
There's only one way to find out! I hope Marquez is game for a Morales fight! It would be amazing if Morales shows up like he did against Maidana last night. It will also answer a very interesting question.. Should Manny Pacquiao get full credit for destroying Morales the last time around? As of right now.. It's starting to look like so. You have to remember, Morales is coming off a long lay off with ring rust and just gave one of the biggest names in the light welterweight division a hell of a fight, which he arguably won!
i agree..i honestly dont think jmm could've done better than erik vs a maidana....maidana is way bigger, more powerful,better chin, better skilled than katsidis and kat gave jmm trouble....
c'mon son... maidana is a limited brawler... you can't compare that to what jmm, who still has the speed and the stamina... morales would get tore up by jmm right now... styles make fights
