1. Morales's post-fight interview after Barrera I - He talked about how Barrera almost had him out multiple times (and it wasn't like he was stumbling around half-dead, so... it wasn't so evident that it would have been impossible to deny it), and that he couldnt' fight at 122 anymore, because the weight was weakening him, but when asked if he would give Barrera a rematch at 126, his response was "Mucho gusto". IE with pleasure... he deserves it.
2. Bute's reaction to Andrade's win over Tsypko - He stood up, clapped, touched Andrade's glove and gave him the thumbs up. I thought that was pretty tight, considering the ****ed up way the first one went down, and the fact that they are probably going to be fighting a rematch really soon.
3. Williams's post-fight interview after the Quintana fight - He said the usual... "I take nothing away from _______ (my opponent)", but this time... he actually didn't. Everyone else says that and then piles on a million excuses. All Williams had to say was "I never got into my rhythm.", and that was true. It also is true that Quintana was the cause of that. He said something like "You can't take winning if you can't take losing, I'll just go back to the gym and fix the mistakes I made." I just thought this interview was really good for him.
4. Andrade's composure after the Bute fight - God, he had every reason in the world to act like he was made entirely of ****s, but... he hugged the referee, hugged Bute, and gave a really good post-fight interview. This was the most amazing thing I saw all night, which is crazy, because I was very impressed by Bute's skills and Andrade's will. The sportsmanship from Andrade was amazing.
5. Taylor's post-fight interview in his locker room after Pavlik I - He was told that he was ahead on the scorecards, and he was like "Hmm, I'm pretty sure I was losing the fight." It wasn't a huge deal but it's just so rare that it was really refreshing to hear that he was willing to admit that the judges were scoring it wrong and he was down on points.
ADD TO THE LIST!
