    I was literally screaming my ass off whenever he rallied

    This fight reminded me why boxing is the greatest sport in the world

    I felt it too. There was real magic at work.

    Can't believe they gave it to Maindana. Morales more than deserved the win.

    What a fight; what a warrior!

    not really i don't buy into crowd or commentator bias so easily.

    Yes morales performed better than most expected, but even then that was not enough to beat a one dimensional boxer like maidana.

    I hope he retires because someone like khan, marquez or bradley even alexander will hurt him good. Just look at his eye that was from one uppercut.

    Wish I watched this one live, it was a good fight and I to was hella stoked when Erik started warming up.

    Thought Maidana did enough in the end...but fark it would have been great ending if they gave it to Erik.

    it was an astounding effort. watched it as a neutral, but had mixed emotions on the bell. didn't seem fair that morales would get a loss for his effort, but at the same time i was hoping maidana didn't get robbed of what i saw as a clear victory. morales winning that fourth title with a bs belt to go along with a robbery also would've a travesty and shameful slap in the face to the great mexican legend chavez, and his rivals MAB and JMM. So I was happy with the decision

    An uppercut like that will close even a Vitali Klitschko eye. Maidana is just a kid with limited skills and powerful wild dirty shots. El Trrible was the real boxer tonight and the scoring (116:112) wasn't fair.

    Morales should of already been a 4 weight champ when they gave the decision to Diaz. :-(

    I was hoping for a draw at the end of the fight, because I wanted Morales to win but thought Maidana did just enough to clinch it in the last couple of rounds. You can't possibly call that a robbery though

    Morales is possibly the best fighting warrior we have on this earth today.

    Differs by weight class.
