Goddamnit!!!! The fight could've gone either way with Morales and Brown. It went against us. I can't really complain it was just that kinda fight, but it still sucks. Congratulations to Panama Al.

Herman just keeps on going. Thought he would have a good season, but this surpasses what I expected. Good fight from Zarate, but I feel the right man won. Going by the round by round score, or punch stats, hard to dispute the decision.

Very close, knew it would be though, Morales is a tough night for anybody
