Sorry for the delay, I went out for a few beers and a couple shots.

Man...that was scary. Caballero winning his fight with Santa Cruz via KO meant Morales absolutely HAD to win here or he was not going to advance. Coming to the 11th it was even on two cards, and he was behind on another.

Morales pulls it out of the fire, gaining one of his biggest victories of the season, and continuing his journey forward through the Million Dollar Tournament!!!!

And Larios progresses. A really big night for him, and he gets to meet Morales for a third fight. Should be a good one.

Yep, we've had 2 good ones before.

Class tells over time though. Our 1st fight we fought to an entertaining draw, in the 2nd fight Morales was able to pull away in the 2nd half and establish himself the better man with a KO victory. In this 3rd fight, scheduled for 12 rounds now, that just gives Morales even more time to allow his skills to take over and dictate the fight.

I know Larios will give it his all, but Morales is supremely confident he's the better man.

Larios will casually KO him. No worries.
