Comments Thread For: Erik Morales' Father: The Second Time My Son Got Robbed

[studentofthegam]

Maidana won the those rounds since you can see it in Morales' eye closing just in the 1st round and it took him a while to get to his rhythm when he lost his eye.

"Worthless punches" - not against the obvious evidence of Morales' eye closing.
"Rabbit punches" - that was thrown few and far between.

Really, it wasn't that bad. Look at Mayweather vs Hatton and see what real punches in the back of the head could look like. In my point of view, those "rabbit punches" were plain taps not knuckle bound fist to the back of the head hits.

Everyone wants to see the young Morales of the past but the reality is Morales is old and his type of boxing has and must change with the times. Standing there taking shots is not good for anyone's health. It makes any athlete lose stamina and power in the long run. So, if Morales fought a little bit smarter like, say, clinching and moving around then he would have finished strong; but no, he stood there trading blows and it took away his stamina and concentration to win the fight.

Then again, if he followed what I wrote then this fight wouldn't be memorable at all. So, stop complaining that it was robbery this or that and fouls were everywhere and just enjoy the professional fight of the highest order you just witnessed.

Also, to the guy who mentioned the guy was his father - good point. Any father would say the same thing he gets the pass. Although, I still wrote that he should reconsider (think over it) and give more of an honest statement not fiery passion fueled statement he just said.

You stop acting like somebody's picking on Maidana. I said the same thing about Barrera too. He would throw tantrums. Its unprofessionalism at the highest level. He's becoming the type that I cant wait to see knocked out.

Barerra also was robbed. He clearly beat Morales in the first fight and they stole it from him so the fact that Morales was robbed in the rematch was a payback of sorts for the first fight. But Morales did amazingly well against such a brutal puncher.

Draw is the best fair decision Maidana could receive in the fight...

Morales is one of my AT favorite Mexican fighters and people know that on NSB I am one of the biggest Mexican boxing supporters on here but Morales did not beat Maidana. . I had it a draw!!going in to the 11th round I had Morales up by 2 points. Morales did not do nearly enough in the last two rounds to win the fight.Thus it was a draw . Morales is an ATG and deserves all the praise in the world for what he did Saturday night but he did not win the fight!! Now if he trains harder and comes in with better conditioning I believe he can outbox and even KO Maidana in the rematch! WAR MORALES!!!

I believe a draw is the most fair decision Maidana could get on that fight other than winning...Morales has fought against all odds and has proven the experts wrong...Morales has done enough to frustrate and outpointed Maidana, but I also believe that was a close fight...I also agree with Eric's father that twice his son was robbed, in Diaz and Maidana fight...Even in one Barrera fight, I believe Morales has also won twice against Barrera in their trilogy...

Morales Sr. is right, this is our 5 time world champion Morales!

Morales and his dad have always been cry babies

first off, that was a fake title, interim belts aren't even recognised as major belts when a champ is injured. how the **** can anyone claim winning this makes morales or maidana a champ, when khan beat maidana in his last fight, and is defending next week? a bunch of fn nuthugging hysterical idiots boxing fans have turned into, remind me of teeny bopper fans in the late 90s

secondly maidana won. the fact is all the sentimentality obviously clouding people's judgement in the fight in morales' favor is what gives people the nerve to claim such bull****. the diaz fight was a 50-50, this one maidana clearly won if you watch it neutrally.

[piojo del norte]

I think they are just being honest. Most fighters react that way most fighters have, Barrera was furious when he lost to Marquez and Marquez was furious when he lost to Pacquiao because they felt they won.. You have to understand what hard work they put in to get a bad decision that way..

It's like when you study for weeks on end for a test you will have and when you get the test you fail... It's a horrible feeling.
