Much respect to Erik, he proved most of us wrong, haven't been that emotional since Cotto-Margarito.

Beautiful artistry in there.
If someone were to make a movie of his boxing life, this would be a great way to end it.
Yeah Maidana's style was perfect for him, but it was still great to watch a legend use every ounce of his boxing knowledge and whatever he had left to fight the way he did.
sidenote:
Even though I like Khan, it was funny to see a well faded Morales having a tougher chin than Amir.
A Morales with one eye.

Glad I wasn't the only one.
A lot I could write - from being just a teenager and seeing almost his whole career, the road trips to see him fight, the arguments with the homies over who is the best of 3, the wins, the loses, the laughs(Erik always makes me laugh for some reason), ever dollar spent on a ppv or a ticket, and the nights spent watching him fight with my dad. a **** load of memories i just went thru during those 12rds. holy **** what a performance - it just made all those moments 10x better. and he didnt even win lol

Even though he may well carry on fighting, for some reason it felt to me like I was saying "goodbye" to Erik last night.

Damn good effort by Morales. He did was he was suppose to do and almost came out on top. I was more surprised he ROCKED EM more then anything. Showed why he's a true legend of the sport. SICK FIGHT.
Will he be world champion again? No. But he proved he can still hang with the best of them and is not to be counted out against anybody. True warrior, true legend. The ****in man tonight.
