I just watched that one last night... less than 24 hours ago. You are talking about when Morales chased Pacquiao to the ropes, and it looked like he was about to land something big, and then got iced by a counter, right? It was the first knockdown of the rubber, right?
HBO called it wrong, and corrected themselves in the replay in between rounds. They thought it was the right hook, but it was only grazing, there was an extremely solid left that followed it that put Morales down. It was actually a bit grazing too, but Morales momentum coming forward and the force that Pacquiao put on it still put Morales down without it landing flush.
It really was the left, although he did land a crushing right hook in the first round I thought... I was actually pretty impressed by that punch, because you normally don't see it from Pacquiao... at least back then. It was always the left.
D, you got it right, I just watched it again on Utube.
