Can someone give me a breakdown of what happened to Morales?

[Guest]

There's so many diverse threads from people who saw the fight, but as someone who didn't, what exactly took place?

Morales was slow and lethargic, Raheem kept a distance and used his jab and footwoork effectively and set up his punches very well. Raheem would stick out his jab and Morales would lean forward and come in and Zahir would counter with some hooks or uppercuts and that is how it went the whole night. Morales only landed in double digits in like 2 rounds and the highest I think he landed was like 11 or 13.....Bad night for El Terrible.

Plus he looked out of shape at 135.

Morales looked like ****. Raheem fought a great fight.

So who is Raheem? I take it he was the extreme underdog, no?

Was it a **** night for Morales or would the same happen again if they met? How many rounds did Eric take (in reality, not on the scorecards)

Raheem was simply too big and too quick for Morales. I think even if they fought 10 times raheem would beat him 10 times. Morales is great and in no way do i think he is sliping or finished but 135 is to big for him.

Styles makes fights and Raheems style is kryptonite to El Terrible, same result in any weight class.

Raheem was not an extream underdog he is just a guy who has the bridesmade stigma and you can rarely believe a boxer who says he would fight better at a higher weight class. That said Raheem has always been fast and he has always had good pure boxing skills and that’s something Morales has not had to deal with. To me the fight was going to be about Raheems hunger and he fought like a hungry fighter. Also he was right, he was better at the higher weight class.

They fought at 134, Raheem outboxed Morales all night long, stunning, almost ko'ing Morales who couldnt figure out Raheems greatness (LOL!). So I guess at 134 Morales is fat, and at 130 he is skinny...
