Comments Thread For: Erik Morales – The Old Man and The Ring

well, I realize the fight with Matthysse would have been for a vacant title and that would have been legit -- but once he was out and an unknown 21 guy who wasn't in anyone's ranking was hand picked, I think that it should then have been declared a non-title bout -- otherwise, it was almost like they were just handing a 'historic' 4th title to Morales based on beating Cano, which he to struggle to do in any event

Erik needs to retire. Nothing to prove.

Soto's inconsistent. A fight with Morales could go either way IMO. They need to make this one happen.

Morales put in some serious work last Saturday and he's figured out a way to cope with his disadvantages brought upon him by age.

No, hes always been able to out box an opponent, its just that, in his younger days, he loved to mix it up to see who the outright baddest motherf ucker was.

Now, that hes slowed considerable, hes fighting "smarter". Picking his spots and boxing.

You can watch Maidana - Petrov live tonight on the Internet, on a free Argentine state TV, but I can not give you the details because this site doesn't allow me to publish urls. CRAZY !!

Cano's face looked like something from a monster movie after the fight.
