Didn't Corley get knocked down something like ten times in his last fight? I stopped counting after awhile...
Morales could have won the fight up to the 11th round. After the 12th, Maidana seemed to lead on points convincingly enough. That being said, it would have been great if they'd given the fight to Morales. Maidana was throwing punches on almost every break and Morales was outboxing him.Comment

Want to see beat silly? watch the Guerrero Katsidis fight. That didn't happen in the Maidana Morales fight.Comment

I think A lot of people that claim to know boxing are clueless. They tend to listen to what others say and are easily influenced.
Marcos Maidana put a whooping on morales last night, now everyone is brainless. People keep saying saying Marcos looked horrible, Marcos looked sluggish, blah blah blah. The dude was in a fight with a veteran that knows how to box. Marcos looked good against khan and ortiz cause those guys were fighting to survive. Marcos had them on the run and was beating them silly. And imo the fight with khan shouldved been stopped in the tenth. Needless to say, Morales is WAYYYYY better then khan and ortiz. Morales wasnt running even after taking BIG shots, the dude kept coming forward and fighting. And thats why people assume that Marcos performance was poor.
Yeah Morales looked good in some spurts, in some rounds but come on that fight really wasnt close. Morales star power and commentators talked people into seeing a different fight. Yeah he looked good for a 34 year old that been in a few wars, but compared to his old self he was far from fresh. But his style still made it a akward fight because he dose have those skills to box....but to say marcos fought poor is foolish...
U seen Morales face....he took a beating..
Morales got hit in that first round and his eye just kept on swelling to the point that Morales was fighting with one eye completely shut.
Morales was all over Maidana in the 10th round so not sure which fight you were watching. At that point Maidana looked demoralized, tired, and ready to pack it in.
Unfortunately that eye did Morales no favors. At the end of that 10th round, Maidana hit Morales with a couple of big shots and when he went back to the corner his corner told "See, he can't see your punches, you have him"
It appeared to bring Maidana's spirits up enough to take the last 2 rounds. That coupled with Morales having a harder time with his eye completely shut. Not only with defense (not seeing Maidana's punches) but also offensively (not able to judge the distance between himself and Maidana)Comment

Maidana didn't perform because he didn't train properly and that's why the fight was so close. Morales is well past it, slow, sluggish, no speed, or pop in his punchs anymore. I hope he doesn't let JMM get to him, or he'll end up taking one hell of a beating.Comment

Maidana has always struggled with the veterans he fights. Corley, Morales, Kotelnik all gave Maidana trouble.
I thought Maidana beat Morales 7 rounds to 5. Morales took a MAJOR beating. I think he gave it his all this fight and that still wasn't enough.Comment

whaat??? i was so pissed last night, i couldnt believe that maidana won. morales was bullied into the ropes, but not hit that effectively throughout the night. morales ALWAYS came back with the MORE CLEAN EFFECTIVE shots, hurting and wobbling maidana, while moraless was never really hurt. i was so surprised that maidana won, how can sloppy agression beat clean effectiveness. morales deserved that fight plain and simpleComment

i can see someone make the argument that morales got outworked, but morales' defense made sure none of maidana's punches hit flush. that said, maidana's workrate wasn't that greatComment
