I've never cried...but tonight i did.

[Mundo]

that was robbery. ive seen some fights where it was close...but tonight...it wasnt. Hoya/PBF was close but i had that 8-4 mayweather...7-5 maybr and 6-6 being REALLY GENEROUS.....but this was roberry....no doubt you can see the experinerce and power....

this is bullshit.

[the_what]

:lol:

[Boom_Boom]

It pisses me off too, it would of been a great way to end a magnificent career.

Erik made his statement, i just hope he retires now.

[Pimp C]

I would have loved to have seen EM go out a winner while winning another championship. I want him to fight a journeyman for his last fight so that he can go out a winner...he deserves it.

[Toopretty]

I am crying first Marquez, now this...You cannot rob Erik. I didnt see the fight if I do see it and he was truly jobbed I will be very upset. First the fat boys break up, now this.

[Druid]

I didn't see that fight but it sux to see such a great warrior go out on an undeserving loss.

[IntentionalButt]

If the decision of a boxing match is the first thing to make you cry in your life you should probably seek counseling and sensitivity training. I'm hearing that it was pretty close - when fighters lose close fights you can't scream robbery. You can say "the scores were too wide". But if it was at all close, and nobody seems to think it wasn't, robbery is not appropriate terminology.

The Solis-Mayol fight was a robbery?

Nobody is literally crying..lol. It is like your favorite team losing the big game type of cry. Not physical. lol. were are not being literal. :rofl

The OP claims to have never literally cried but to have done so tonight. That's a bit detailed for a figurative expression. :lol:

COULD NOT OF SAID IT ANY BETTER

[Toopretty]

I cried literally b/c I had 2 grand on the line when the lakers beat portland with that damned robert horry that I wanted to shoot...Shit. I mean, I stopped betting on sports after that. I did cry though, I was drunk, high and emotional and got carried away. Shit, still mad about that.

[IntentionalButt]

COULD NOT OF SAID IT ANY BETTER

Now, I haven't seen any vid of this fight...or even read a round-by-round. I'm just going on a bunch of people saying it should have been a close win for Morales, and a handful saying they had it close for Diaz (and one or two saying Morales dominated) - but saying it's a robbery is a strong statement. When you were scoring rounds for Morales, how much of it was objective analysis of the actual events in the ring and how much of it was emotional? I'm guessing most of the people calling foul here are diehard EM fans.

[Mundo]

i am HARDCORE Morales fan. but this wasnt close. i wasnt worried for morale. diaz landed hard punches but when EM landed it was waaaaay more effective. when you guys see this...morale had this. iv felt emotional after fights....and im drunk right now...but this is easy to juddge

do you mean that you weren't worried about diaz as a KO threat, or did you really think that there was absolutely no way he could win on points? i hate to bust out 'don't let it go the judges' and 'take the belt from the champion' cliches, especially not having seen it, but..

[Chert]

bullshit decision. where do they find these judges? even diaz knew he lost.

[timber]

Im not a Morales fan and I can clearly say without any hesitation or doubt that he won that one.
Thing is, nothing ever gets done about these bad decisions so weve just gotta accept and move on.

i mean i was watching this fight and i was for sure of a 116-111 win for EM. he did eveythng he had to do....landed cleanr, outboxed, showed experience, EVERYTHING!!

[Chert]

[andyZOR]

I highly doubt that you have never cried. Chuck Norris never cried tho.

[the_what]

Your telling me you didnt cry when Vince Young scored the go-ahead TD in the Rose Bowl?

[rr94]

that was robbery. ive seen some fights where it was close...but tonight...it wasnt. Hoya/PBF was close but i had that 8-4 mayweather...7-5 maybr and 6-6 being REALLY GENEROUS.....but this was roberry....no doubt you can see the experinerce and power....

this is bullshit.

did u really cry?

[1lehudson]

It pisses me off too, it would of been a great way to end a magnificent career.

Erik made his statement, i just hope he retires now.What statement did he make by fighting the weakest belt holder within 20 pounds??? that he isnt the fighter that he use to be:huh

[Mundo]

Your telling me you didnt cry when Vince Young scored the go-ahead TD in the Rose Bowl?

AAAAAlmost!!!

but seriously. this fight was not hard to score.

[PH|LLA]

damn i'm surprised people saw it this way i put some money on morales and when i watched the fight, at the final bell i was like "damn i lost my money"

[boxbox]

yeah...morales should have won...diaz was agressive in the last 3 rounds but they were mostly just throwing punches but not really landing, it was like punching to the body but hitting the arms..yes morales was tired in the end part but didnt lose the rounds. morales won the early rounds definitely...

[Doomas]

Wow, just seen the fight and Im very surprised..I had it 115-112 for Erik, and if it was SD for Diaz I wouldnt mind, but those score cards looked a bit fucked up. (115-112, 114-113 and 115-113) for Diaz? I just dont see this beeing possible...

[TIGEREDGE]

ITS ONE THING BEING AGGRESSIVE. IT ANOTHER THING LANDING PUNCHES. Morales was hitting him at will

[George W Hedge]

I would have loved to have seen EM go out a winner while winning another championship. I want him to fight a journeyman for his last fight so that he can go out a winner...he deserves it.

He went out a winner in my eyes, I stopped listening to the judges a loooonnnnnngggg time ago.

Morales should retire after that great win imo.

:good
