Another great Mexican boxer retires Erik Morales

Posted on Aug 6, 2007 by CHESSNOID in Uncategorized | 2 Comments

On HBO they showed his last fight against David Diaz. This younger Diaz looked much bigger and stronger than Morales but he didn’t look to be the better boxer. Morales put on a great fight even past his prime. I think 5 years ago before so many great epic battles against other great fighters, he would of achieved a knock out . Watch the last minute of the first round. Morales gets rocked like 3-4 times against the aggressive Diaz, but in the end POW… down goes Diaz. I would like to see Manny Pacquiao fight Diaz. That would be a great matchup.

Morales gave it his best shot. He is one of my favorite fighters. I think he made the right decision to retire and I hope he stays retired. He has contributed a great deal to boxing with his battles against Barrera and Pacquiao. He should not gamble with his health because he has taken a lot of punishment in his boxing career.
