    Indeed, & all my vcash is gone. :-(

    Still, congrats Morales for the moral victory.

    I dont want to get too deep, buts its **** like this that makes me think about things in life, that i think ive left too late or that im too lazy and lack belief to go for because it seems unattainable. But if you dont be a ***** and put the work in, even if you dont succeed, you can still be a double man like El Terrible

    He was such a big underdog I had to take the odds...But man, I wish he had just a little bit more left. I'd have had a very fun week off the winnings.

    I only won on Rubio and Adamek this weekend, and Rubio would have been a decent net, but god, I lost on EVERY OTHER fight.

    Talk about upsets! And the one I almost called right that would have made it all okay, didn't actually come to fruition. :lol:

    I love boxing.

    I wanted to score it to Morales but couldn't 7-5 Maidana and that wasn't any type of great performance by Morales it was actually pretty poor and any of the belt holders would have made him look stupid but Maidana just was that primitive and wasn't even in shape. Morales needs to hang them up, Maidana I have no interest in unless he has a battle of the journeymen with Katsidis

    He countered really well off the ropes, but I see what you are saying.

    Really, it was durability and stamina that were supposed to fail him. He had his chin back, and got into great shape for this fight. If you can take his punch and stretch him, you've gone half ways towards beating Maidana.

    Its just not easy, and thats what made that inspiring. Morales was supposed to be shot. See Roy Jones, Evander Holyfield, etc. Shot fighters don't handle storms like that often.

    Morales is shot, he couldn't really pull the trigger, couldn't really counter early against a fighter with practically no defense, his balance is completely shot, his legs are completely gone. His punch resistance is still there but that was 1 of his biggest strengths. What he did was show he had far far better technique and skill than Maidana, but I hope he hangs them up, if he steps up in class he'll fight far more accurate punchers and he wouldn't be able to land his own shots off of those legs

    Any version of Morales upto 2004 whips Maidana even if he has to weigh in at 122 and Maidana gets to weigh in at 140

    BTW Holyfield pulled out 1 shot performance of his own against Rahman and another against Valuev

    Ill give you Rahman, but the Valuev fight was a non performance by both fighters.

    Ranks for the least amount of **** done Ive seen in 12 rounds. I couldn't be bothered with who anybody thought won, nobody was punching in there!

    I always assumed Niko was practicing his power to win the fight by staring.

    I chalked it up to not enough sparring. Or whatever secret training he uses to strengthen his mind powers.
