Weekend Afterthoughts: When Being Wrong Is Oh So Right, Where Improbable Meets Lucky And Next For Erik Morales, James Kirkland, David Lemieux And The Rest

This past weekend was the most fun I've had being wrong since forever. Not much of anybody in their right minds had Erik Morales being that competitive against Marcos Maidana several weight classes too high and years past any remnants of him looking like an elite boxer. Morales, aferward, said his dignity led him to such a great performance. As memorials to human dignity go, this was quite the obelisk.

(And, by the way, it's often fun to be wrong. Sometimes, like with Morales-Maidana, it leads to shocking, even amusing surprises. Sometimes it means you end up with a better argument next time around, when you switch out the bad one for a good one. Being wrong is underestimated.)

There was a lot of "people being wrong" to go around over the weekend, but it all ended up producing a lot of right.
