Marcos Maidana...Beat Morales silly..not sure what fight the judges seen..

[-MAKAVELLI-]

beat silly?


i think this thread is silly


Maidana should have been thankful if that fight was scored a draw



beat silly? the only thing silly that Maidana did was 'blow bubbles' as he gassed out and watched an old legend put it on his ass

I thought so little of Maidana coming into this due to the fact that he got outboxed by a shot to **** Corley but now I think even less of him, what a piece of **** fighter, seriously I've never disliked a fighter as much as I do him (maybe JCC).

how can you hate on a fighter like maidana though? the guy puts out FOTY candidate fights one after the other no matter how crude a boxer he is and whoever is in front of him. no shit he can be outboxed, yet he's able to test your will to win and ability to survive, he gets it done. i think both chino and terrible won last night for giving us another classic fight.

The problem is that you said, "IT WASN'T EVEN CLOSE"


If it wasn't even close then why was it that in the 10th round, Morales had Maidana's number? Maidana looked demoralized, tired and ready to pack it in.


Morales had the problem of the eye since round one. Sure, I will be the first to say it's part of boxing but you still need to take into account that even though Morales had vision problems he did very good. To me, it appeared that his eye problem closed shut and gave him way too much problems at the end to continue the way he was doing in the middle rounds up to and including the 10th round.

As for your spurts comment: Maidana did the same thing. Often he tried to smoke Morales with 10 punch combination then tire himself out then try to look good the last 10-20 seconds of the round. Meaning Maidana did things in spurts as well and more importantly, you may not have realized it but Maidana missed A LOT of his punches. Morales had a higher connect ratio.


Again, you are not dis*****g who won. You are saying "it wasn't even close ".

It was close. 2 judges had it 116-112 and one had it a draw. 1 HBO analyst had Morales winning the other had it a draw. If you want to discuss a fight that was not even close. Just look at the the fight between Guerrero and Katsidis.

Do you think, from looking at Maidana's corner's reaction just prior and as they announced who won, that he knew he had won to the point of saying it wasn't even close?

At one point in the fight, Maidana's corner said, "you made Morales even this fight up"

Like I said...I have no clue what fight u were watching or the judges. THe first few rounds Morales looked old, his timing was off, he couldnt land nothing clea. Marcos was putting leather on him had him stubbling off balance into the ropes taking shots to his dome and body. We just knew if the fight kept to that pace as the first few rounds that the night was gonna be early for Morales because it wasnt looking good at all. Towards the middle of the rounds Morales did look a little better COMPARED TO THE FIRST FEW ROUNDS. But was he doing more then MARCOS??? NOT AT ALL. you keep talking bout the 10th round as if thats 12 rounds in one?? Yeah he looked good that round because marcos was taking a break from stalking him the whole fight. THen after the tenth it went back down hill for morales. He finished the fight the way it started....whooping morales ass....They made the fight closer because of morales star power...they said it would be cool if they gave him the victory...FIGHTS DONT WORK LIKE THAT...Pretend like we have no clue who both fighters are, turn the volume down, and watch the fight again....Marcos shut him out..
