    Rocky never seems to throw enough punches or show that extra gear needed to win.

    However in this one he's up against a shot fighter who can no longer get out of the way of punches and his resistance to punishment has been diminished. Rocky would land power shots on Erik even if he wasn't "trying" to because Morales would be there to hit.

    Morales has a bad style for an aging fighter and it would show.

    I think he still has enough to counter punch rocky bec. unlike diaz , rocky is not active enough.

    That's just not Erik's style though. He could, but wouldn't.

    I saw no evidence of Morales being 'shot' against Diaz. In fact I thought he clearly won. I'd pick him over Juarez for sure.

    I dont know man i think he recognized his own mortality after he got koed. against diaz he was countering off the ropes and even clinching diaz bec. he doesnt want to go toe to toe w/ him.
