Erik Morales

[winkveron]

That is a VERY strange physique for a professional athlete to have!

[Final round]

Well he'd proven that he was a bit of a muppet in allowing Molina to foul for the most part of the fight, taking the decision to DQ Molina at this point, however surprising, was within the stipulated rules of the contest. True, it was implemented poorly, but like I said, he was hardly an inspiration to refereeing standards over the previous 10 rounds.

Yeah he was a very weak the whole fight but he took the opening to end the fight when he didn't have too and gave victory to the man who was losing at the time imo

I thought Molina was just looking a bit tired at the time of the DQ, the last couple of rounds were going to be interesting, but the ref had his moment.

I thought for a minute he consulted with a ringside official before deciding to DQ Molina, it looked like Kirklands corner were shouting at someone that it should be a DQ.

A rematch would be good to sort it out, during the fight i thought Kirkland looked jaded, his punches didn't seem to have as much snap as normal, and he looked like he didn't want to be there some of the time.

Morales looks like a tree trunk with a twig coming out either side. He might be able to do 12 rounds, but being in that shape and crashing down to the weight (or not, in this case) is not good for your health.

On the fight, the result was probably right but the scorecards were bollocks.

The ref made a mess of the whole Kirkland fight, but I find it hard to have sympathy for someone who fights like Molina did.

So, in summary, a less-than-satisfactory night overall, but the results went the way GBP wanted them to.

I thought Garcia was good value for his win. Didn't agree with Jim Watt or the Sky team that the fight was in the balance until the knockdown. Morales did his best and had his moments, but Garcia looks good.
