    It says more about both Morales and Zab than Garcia, actually.

    Garcia is overrated for sure. But it happens in boxing.

    Yeah it says Morales is a true feather weight at best and wayy more past his prime.

    Garcia didn't really struggle against Judah. He had to withstand a little rally towards the end, but its not like the whole fight was rough for him.

    The funny thing is Morales on the first fight was on his way beating Gracia before the late knock down him being the naturally smaller and older man then Zab.

    That's true, but a ****in' great featherweight, who arguably beat Maidana and had a somewhat good run even being totally past it.

    I agree. That, to me, says that Morales is a ****in' great fighter.

    Agree 100% with you, that's why we might have Khan vs Mayweather later on, this fight will prove who's the best fighter of this era.

    Don't forget that Matthysse earned the right to fight the winner of Garcia/Judah, but instead it appears that someone is trying to protect Garcia from Matthysse by having him to fight Peterson in America, with Peterson's referee and judges, so Matthysse will have to knock Peterson out to get a draw, then Garcia can fight Peterson instead. I think Matthysse will knock Garcia out. Peterson will run like Hell knowing that all his has to do is be standing to get a decision. The ref will protect Peterson as in the Khan fight, the judges? LOL! A sick joke! If Matthysse can get past the referee, he will knock Peterson out, but the ref will be stepping between them as protection, don't forget calling a slip a knockdown or a knockdown a slip, etc., happening too often in boxing.

    Most fans thought Matthysse beat Judah, he had Judah doing the funky chicken like Tsyzu. Matthysse also beat Alexander, but America has a lot of crooked judges..........................home town decisions are getting absurd.............
