Boxing's Moral Victories

[GrandpaBernard]

Last night was an innovation in moral victories.

Did anyone catch it?

During the interview he [Amir] tried to secure a moral victory by talking about who Alvarez should fight next.

The most common grab at a moral victory is when the fight's loser calls the winner a runner. To be used when the former couldn't cut the ring off.

Name other moral victories.

It was completely classless by both Khan and his trainer.

Did you see how Virgil whispered twice in Khan's ear to tell Max that he was moving back down to 147? Even though we have no idea what's going to happen yet with his weight. For all we know Khan could have felt his best at a higher weight.

They were hoping to get more sympathy that way. Make it seem like the class was way too much for him and without a doubt they'd be moving back down. Simply not the case.

Yeah it could have been bull****. Abraham did the same thing, said he's moving back down to 160 after his losses at 168 to Froch and Ward. He found out he could not make it though. But to be honest Khan did look somewhat soft at the weigh in.

You a certified idiot or something? You think the guy guy who jumped two weight classes, and actually fought five pounds below the limit, is going to stay in that weight class, after getting KTFO, at 155?

You must be nuts if you can't tell that moving back down is the only option.
