Morales: one more fight before retiring

[!! Mr. Soprano]

Three-division former world champion champion Erik Morales (48-5, 34 KOs) says he plans one more fight before retiring. The future Hall of Famer, who was brutally KO'd last Saturday night by Manny Pacquiao, did not reveal a date, place or opponent for his final fight, but told the San Diego Union-Tribune, "Boxing has given me everything I have. I don't need to box anymore. It won't be difficult to walk away. I'm ready."

He wants to go out better than the 3rd round stoppage. I can see that. I'm guessing it'll be against a decent fighter, maybe even a top tenner, just to get a win before he leaves.

No harm in that.

he said at the post-fight presser I think, that if he fights again, it will probably be a goodbye fight in Mexico.

[Deeznuts]

He should fight a big name opponent and go out with a ****.

I just hope he doesn't follow in Julio Cesar Chavez shoes, then we might just see 10 goodbye fights in a row!

I would love to see Morales go out with a win...he definitely deserves it...and hopefully he'll give us one more classic battle, with a worthy opponent.

That's what I figured. Maybe a little fight in Tiajuanna's bull ring. That's kind of cool.

One more with MAB ? I think they are both at about the same stage .

Nah, I don't think so.

1. I'm not sure how MAB can justify defending his title against a guy who got knocked out in 3 rounds instead of fighting the winner.

2. I honestly think Morales is just sick of dealing with him.


I really believe it'll just be a little fight somewhere in Mexico like BPP said. He just wants to go out with a win.
