Is it possible that Erik Morrales took maidana's prime?

Great post in the first half, turned into a why he lost more so then do you think they took his prime..

Agreed. I didn't transition it well, but it was all relative to my point. To keep it short, a superior boxer spanks Maidana every time.

Seems more like he is being exposed if anything.

Yep. He has just naturally hit the limits of his current abilities. It may have been the weight or that he has just been scouted but his next few fights will have to be carefully selected.

maybe a little.

but more likely it's from all the other fights as well including the morales fight.

remember he had a tough fight with khan and ortiz among others.

people don't really realize it because khan was going backwards and ortiz quit...... but he ate a ton of shots from khan and ortiz.

2 big , young and powerful junior welterweights that will probably end their careers at 154.


plus maidana's style doesn't last long. power punching sluggers generally are past prime much sooner than boxer types.
