I had it a draw watching live but scored it likde Harold Ledderman when watching it on HBO. I decided to rewatch with no volume with a couple of friends some Mexican and they all agreed that the fight could have actually been a draw or even gone either way. Lampley was building Morales up heavily during his announcing of the fight. Calling most of Morales' connects and ignoring many of Manny's. Lampley was clearly a Morales fan(can't blame him I am a big fan too). Merchant seemed to be for Manny. Roy was a yes man. Lampley was the voice of the fight. Erik won fairly, but I still say the fight was closer than alot of people want to believe.
well said.

ye i had it 114-114 initially but heres the thing i mentioned this a lot
in the 5th round the cut was ruled a punch, even though it was a headbutt. n clearly pac won that round IMO, but they gave it to morales cuz of the cut issue
which wouldve made the fight a draw
