en It was a close fight with a lot of close rounds, ... Morales landed the bigger punches but Manny landed more combinations.

en Manny has fought Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez and Erik Morales in his last (four) fights. He's been in tough fight after tough fight, he's been taking on the best fighters of the era and I don't believe that a fighter needs to be a life-and-death fight every time. In this case Manny's coming off a real war with Morales and this is a tune-up fight for the next war with Morales.

en For example when the rockets landed outside the city yesterday (Sunday) I could tell them 'the rockets landed outside of town and I think your daughters are very close to where I am staying in Kabul and it is a very quiet place,

en (Marco Antonio) Barrera had beaten Morales, and Manny had beaten Barrera, and I just think Manny took him lightly, believing he was on the downside. But we miscalculated. We won't do that this time. Morales will still have the reach and height advantage, but Manny will have speed going for him. And he knows he has to win this fight.

en The tide turned in the sixth round. I could see Morales was fading from the body punches. Manny's right hook was beautiful. We still have to work on Manny's defense a bit.

en I thought I got robbed. I thought I threw more punches than him and landed more. But that's how boxing is. I just can't believe I lost that fight.

en If I had lost that fight, I wouldn't be saying I got robbed. It was a close fight, and in those later rounds, he did get off. I give him that. But in those early rounds, I did just enough to win and get my respect.

en We could have landed a knockout punch right then and there. But they went on a run and they kept it pretty close the rest of the game.

en We set some high goals. We wanted to sweep everything. We came really close. If Kelly had landed on her feet on that last run we would have swept.

en We know Morales can take a punch, because Manny is a puncher and Morales took a lot of Manny's good stuff.

en It may be that everything went right and it simply landed in a terrible spot. Who knows if it landed on a big boulder and fell over?

en I had 116 yards and it was slightly downwind. I hit a good shot, maybe just a touch too flat. I thought it would have landed shorter than it did, but it landed pin-high.

en They prepared us for it. The people in the cockpit were very calm, cool and collected. They said smoke was there but they didn't see any when they landed, so I think they got most of it out. But, we were better once we landed, all of the nerves were a little more at ease.

en We decided to straighten out that right hand after the second round and it proved to be a good move. Carina landed several solid right hands in the third and fourth rounds and we really felt like we were ahead. Unfortunately we were on the wrong side of what I think was a bad call. We just didn't get in enough rounds. I know we would've worn her out.

en Only fighting each other could have brought that much effort out, at a time in their careers when fighters, given all the punches that had landed on them, generally don't want to go that far,
