Why does everybody exaggerate Morales-Pacquiao 1?

[whirlwind]

Marco Antonio Barrera

Dont try to explain on this guy because he may not even know who Barrera is because of the hate after Pac destroyed all his favorite boxers.

The Reyes Gloves fight. I didn't know that they were such a big deal untill after that fight.

its just the way that Morales won.

he outdid Marquez in counterpunching, and seemed like he had Pacquiao's style down after that convincing 11th round.

in theory, if the fight was 15 rounds, imo Morales could have won every round past the 10th if he wanted to. but thats just hypothetical.

its the most clear loss of Pacquiao's career since his early days, so you should expect people to exaggerate a little bit.
its overblown a little bit, because not too many people expected Morales to win, coming off a clear loss to Barrera(great fight) and considering Barrera had gotten beaten up by Pacquiao a few years before.

It was a close fight and i thought the decision was accurate

[billionaire]

morales was underdog and embarrased pac in front of his own fans...pac was so confused his team talked about his right hook and he never got a chance to show it off....then his team blamed the gloves.....it was close but decisive....'you gotta know boxing to understand whats happenin hea' roy yones....

Pac's haters need sumthin to hold onto. They got the fact that he was KO'd when he was a kid, his victims bein 'old and shot,' JMM 'winnin' both fights, and EM gettin a win on him. The EM win is the best option, and the decision bein close as could be ain't enuf to dead the hate.

It was one of the most dominating-close fights I've seen.

The thing with boxing is the 10 point must scoring. So even if someone get's beat handedly, you can still get close scoring due to the winning of a few close rounds.

Certainly wasn't a domination but Morales did school him a little something that night. He outboxed him and, surprisingly, outbrawled him.

Exactly. He showed him round to round who the better man was that night and gave it the biggest ****in punctuation ever by turning southpaw in the 12th. That was ****ing epic. Legendary-type ****. That's why I consider him greater than his contemporaries. He took many risks throughout his career and always did **** the way he (and his fans) wanted to.
