Slow and old. He did do pretty good with what he had though.

WAR MORALES he was alot better than i thought, i was expecting a JLC type performance.

Morales showed a little small vintage him! He's nowhere near what he used to be obviously but showed his savy boxing skills and showed decent reflexes. He would get beat up by any elite fighter but still it was great seeing him in action again, which at first i was totally against! If he is gonna continue fighting he needs to to cut weight. at least make 140 because he was lookin a little pudgy haha...

None of them right now, but if he keeps working hard, he could probably rematch diaz. i think marquez and soto are just too much for him right now. It was great to watch his style, as always a counterpuncher but a lot more slow.
