This is ridiculous, Maidana won fair and square.
I'm also delighted by the show Morales put on, he fought his balls off against one of the toughest, hardest punchers in the game, while he was at a weight disadvantage and way pass his prime.
Morales deserve all the credit in the world, for the warrior he is and always will be. He made every expert including all of us here in NSB look like idiots. I'll be a fan forever of his.
But Marcos Maidana won the fight period. Maidana landed the more punches, and overall fought much more agressive and controled the pace. Maidana won atleast 8 rounds.
we know, thats why the fighter that lands the cleaner and more effective punches wins.
Yeah, and Morales only landed enough clean effective punches to win four or five rounds, tops.
116-113 for Morales? Your hatred amazes me.
If they had scored it properly it wouldnt be such an issue. To me if you deserved atleast a draw and you lose on the cards 116-112 then its a robbery. I had Morales up atleast a couple going into 11 and twelve.
You were scoring with bias goggles on, then. He did not deserve a draw, it was a clear loss. Amazing performance by an old legend, but a clear loss none the less.
Completely agree. Morales was a warrior, but Maidana, despite being sloppier than usual, still clearly dominated most of the fight. Morales was on the verge of being knocked out in the later rounds.

you know every fkin punch Morales landed was emphasized. of course! cuz Maidana was landing twice as many punches as Morales.
the body work doesnt count you know. obviously that was the key.
its boxing, you get hit.
Maidana and his style care less gettin hit. neither should be embarrassed by their. performance. lmo
Maidana cleary took over the fight at the end.
I don't think Morales won, but he fought to win which was a lot more than people were expecting.
I don't remember if it was Kellerman of Lampley, but one of them said, "Maidana won the fight, but Morales won the event." Exactly how I feel.
Just the fact Morales that performed the way he did after being almost completely written off is a victory within itself.
I didn't see a fight that could have gone either way, the two got it perfect with 116-112 score for Maidana. He was just battering Morales on the ropes for most of the fight even if he fought pitifully which made Morales look better but he is shot and Maidana should be embarrassed by his performance.
Well guys it was a combination of Maidana taking Morales for granted and Morales fighting his balls off. I agree the 116-112 scores where correct I wanted Morales to win though.
And that Quote is exactly how i feel to!!!!!! They hit the nail with that one!!!
