While watching FNF, I saw that Morales lost his 4th world title on the scales. He came in at 142 lbs, and appeared to not have the desire to lose those 2 pounds. Excuse me, he didn't give a shit about losing those 2 lbs, because no attempt was made to shed them.

Now he has to give up $50k of his purse...but what's $50k when your purse is $1M??? Garcia still has a chance to win the title though. It's funny as hell how Erik is saying that he has no problem fighting JMM on 7/14, but hello motherfucker...Garcia is your opponent tomorrow night.

With his attention focused on a JMM fight...it's further evidence that he isn't taking the Garcia fight seriously. So, we may see something wild tomorrow night. I know Sulaiman's pissed off right now....

I was gon' make a thread 'bout this, but I decided not to, 'cause I assumed Ben would have the front page updated with this info by now.

When in doubt....create a thread! I hesitated because I thought one of you guys were going to do it, but no response, so I hooked it up real quick.

Dan Rafael seemed disgusted/aggravated 'bout that.

Ahhh, just in time... http://fighthype.com/pages/content12044.html

Can you blame him? Fighters not making weight is one of my biggest pet pe....oh wait, I'll save that for the other thread. As I've alos read, Castillo did n't make weight for the J. Cotto bout, so they called it off.

Seriously, that shit is annoying. It cause way too much confusion at the last minute.

anybody think morales can go to welterweight?

If he wants to get kod

Yes.. that will be the quickest route to his retirement... If he is looking to retire he should make that move to welter... he will be beaten into retirement at welterweight for sure if he fights anyone of the top dawgs

Nah, not at all. As a matter-of-fact, I feel the same way he does. As I listened to the passion in his voice, I was sittin' there thinkin' to myself, "I see I'm not the only one disgusted by this."









There's your answer, Grover.

Good answer!


Dan always sounds disgusted I was upset when I heard that he didn't make weight, but shiiiit, that $1M payday kinda took the edge off.

Here's Erik's reason for not trying to shed the weight...pretty good explanation (if you ask me)...

After readin' this article, I'm inclined to give Erik the benefit-of-the-doubt, 'cause his explanation sounds plausible.
