Just rewatched the fight, showed a lot of heart and beautiful combinations. Shades of the old Morales was there but I do think Maidana edges it. I think Morales could have won a rematch if it happened.
How do you rate Erik Morales' performance against Maidana

Flabby ped Morales had a second wind for a little and was razor sharp until Garcia beat the last bit of fight out of him....
A lot of people such as Khan may have caught a serious beat down if they ran into the morales from the chino fight... -
Legendary. Out of shape, outgunned, old, small and still gave us a hell of a show on skill and heart alone.Comment

Maidana definitely won IMO< but Morales made it much more competitive than most thought he would. He showed why he was able to accomplish so much in boxing. Not just his technique and skill, but he was a true warrior all the way. When he landed that big left hook, that was the best moment of the fight. Very fun to watch. He was just past it, though. Had it been five years earlier and five pounds lighter, Morales would definitely win I think, but of course, who knows?Comment

I honestly thought he won. He rode with most of Maidana's shots and made him miss like crazy while countering beautifully. Had Maidana out on his feet at one stage.Comment
