Heart, skill, strategy, and pure balls. No safe fighting, no point riding, no "grinding out" a win. This was high danger, high intensity, and high drama from the opening bell to the end. Forget the Alphabet Titles, politics, and bullshit. When a fight like this happens, none of that seems to matter. This goes right up there with Gotti/Ward 1 and Hagler/Hearns. Fight of the Year in Boxing, and maybe a candidate for decade......

I am still a die hard boxing fan and will be so until my last day on earth. Love the sport. This was a great fight Morales turned back the clock during this fight.
