For me, what Morales did against Maidana erased his quitting against Pacquiao in their 3rd fight. I was down on him for that.
Not anymore...
Erik Morales...what a fukkin fighter. Virtuoso performance against Maidana and fighting with one eye to boot. Took monstrous shots and nullified it by counters. I miss him already!!!
He was the Epitome of Mexican Boxing as Lampley put it:
"PRIDE, HONOR, REVENGE...Mexican Boxing!"
Morales is a fukkin Mexican LEGEND!
This fight Morales v Pacquiao I is how I will remember him!!!

and pac got his ass beat by a shot EM
Morales was a great Mexican Warrior and officially the only one beat Pac soundly but don't make it sound like shot Morales beat the prime Pac of 2011. Morales was only 29 then and lost only to his fellow HOF fighter Barrera. What Morales beat that day was a green one dimesional weight drained Pac as your SIG clearly it said. No wonder people here called certain fans a flomo.
Love this fight.
Watched it atleast 50 times.
To think a past prime Morales can perform like this against an ATG in Manny Pacquiao just tells you alot about the guy.
I'm sure MOST boxing fans were pulling for Morales yesterday.
Well, except for some of the Floyd fans who keep on saying that Morales was totally shot by the time he fought Manny.
That fight went from, praying that Morales doesn't get pulverized to what's going on, Morales is proving everyone wrong .... and he is doing it with 1 eye!!!
