Was Diaz-Morales a good fight?

[Illmatic]

did Morales give a good account for himself? I hope so, Morales is one of my fav fighters of all time

[H .]

It was a fuckin war! Possible fight of the year. Morales didn't look prime, but he went out swinging. Most folks including myself had him winning at the end. Sad that the judges didn't give it to him, but he definitely didn't get his ass kicked like many predicted.
He will be remembered.

morales is a gangster

i thought he could have won it, against a young hungry prime fighter

I want morales to fight some bum and retire

[WhataRock]

Awesome fight for Morales to go out with, shame about the result.

I thought he won a close decision and was suprised that a no-name fighter like Diaz was the one to have it fall in his favour.
Dont usually see that.

[Illmatic]

really? what were ur scorecards? Did he box more?

[WhataRock]

They slugged it out sometimes.
But Morales boxed real well, especially in the mid rounds.
Also dropped an over anxious Diaz with a right hand early in the fight.

Diaz is fairly limited and Morales showed that but David certainly has an iron will and a good body attack.

Many close rounds, so I wasn't 1000% confident in my scoring, but still confident.
Here's my scorecard:

1. 10-8 Morales
2. 9-10 Diaz
3. 10-9 Morales
4. 9-10 Diaz
5. 10-9 Morales
6. 10-9 Morales
7. 9-10 Diaz
8. 10-10
9. 10-9 Morales
10. 10-9 Morales
11. 9-10 Diaz
12. 9-10 Diaz

115-113 Morales

Overall, Diaz was the aggressor but Morales was landing clean punches, even when he was dead tired.
Guys sitting around me scored it nearly identical to me (one guy had an extra 10-10 round, making his 115-114 Morales....another scored round 5 10-10 but round 8 10-9 for Morales, so 115-113 Morales like mine....couple others didn't score any 10-10 rounds, so 115-112 for Morales).

[Illmatic]

damn, I wouldve loved Morales to get that 4th division title, but I know he wouldve continued fighting...maybe losing a close decision was the best possible scenario

[theunderdog]

i hope morales goes back to 130, rapes paper chump mzonke fana, who got ktfo by mab, then retire.

i don't care if the anorexic morales shows up at 130, it will still be enough to win the title from fana.

That ain't Morales' style. He only fights people that beat Barrera...:D:D

yeah, probably. or maybe he can dispose fana faster than mab!

i just want him to go out with a bang.

[41fever]

Morales gave a great account of himself even in defeat. He was the classier boxer. Diaz has grit though. Good fight. Morales surpised me. Really close fight.

[bb251]

It could've gone either way... I thought Morales did enough though to win it...

[Deslizer]

It was a good and well entertaining bout, but not a very good one. Morales seamed to be shot and was too passive, while D.Diaz lacks of skill.

Diaz is three months older than Morales.

[theunderdog]

i think he was referring to boxing age. not "age" age

[CASH_718]

i think he was referring to boxing age. not "age" ageNo I think he was.

[theunderdog]

No I think he was.

oh. ok.

[CASH_718]

oh. ok.Don't ever question me again.:nono

[theunderdog]

Don't ever question me again.:nono

oh dear, i'm scared shitless.

[TomaTos]

Morales look "SHOT" and Diaz is a average champion :deal !

Still, for 6 rounds, Morales was pretty good, he was doing as good as vs Pacquiao II for the first half ot the fight, than, he faded, exausted and tired.

[hopkinsfan07]

morales won it

but yea it was a great fight


Damn judges
