Why does everybody exaggerate Morales-Pacquiao 1?

[We want Floyd]

A one-eyed PAC w/ pillow gloves to boot gave Erika hell. Erika and his team were so concerned about PAC's power that they made sure that it was on the contract that both fighters wear Winning.

From the fifth round onwards PAC was virtually fighting on instinct, the gameplan was thrown out the window as my boy was fighting with one eye and all Erika could muster was a 115-113 points win. He did it in convincing fashion, but he couldn't even down my boy.

In the same fight, PAC rocked Erika harder in the 12th than any other rounds Erika won.

Watch the first or 2nd round closely, those two or three hooks to the body delivered by PAC nearly bowled Erika over. PAC went headhunting the rest of the fight.

Those hooks to the body by PAC were the best punches in the fight!

I agree, and I think most didn`t see the fight. See here, Morales only went southpaw in the 10th round. He never repeated that.

Sharing is caring my friend.

Yeahh the score was dead accurate, but Morales did win very convincingly and definitely gave away the 12th round to make that statement. Also, I have the fight and I just watched it again, he certainly did turn southpaw in the 12th round (maybe halfway through). My friend you seriously need to rewatch that fight. Morales is one of my all time favorites. I just ordered his career set along with 4 others the other day.. My boxing library is getting bigger boyyeeeee!!

And wasn`t Morales staggered in the 12th round? Giving away a round, especially a last round is the most obnoxious thing I ever heard. I don`t buy that.

If Morales was knocked down in that round, it could have been a draw. EM is not that noob.

I'm not saying that he gave him it just to give it to him, but he knew Manny needed a knockout, and he wanted to give Pacquiao an intense finish so he gave him the big advantage and opened up in the southpaw stance for him. He also nailed some scary right hooks on Pacquiao from that stance, and yet Pacquiao proceeded to **** away with a good 4 gigantic left hands in that round. It was an amazing finish to an amazing fight between 2 of my favorite fighters of all time. I'm not saying Pacquiao was dominated, but he was convincingly beat and Morales was able to get away with going southpaw in the 12th. The cut that was incorrectly ruled as a butt played a factor as well, not everything is so black and white. Morales was the better man that night, but there were issues in the way (such as gloves, a headbutt), and Morales was perhaps on the decline while Pacquiao was still getting better so it's hard to say who's prime is truly better.

My point was simply that Morales did indeed willingly go southpaw in the 12th and go toe to toe giving Pacquiao the advantage. He also says in the post fight interview that he went southpaw because he knew he was ahead on the scorecards and he wanted to give the fans the great fight they deserve.

In the first fight, Pacquiao was forced to wear the fluffier Winning gloves that Morales prefers, and he was not comfortable in them and pac got butted. thats why he got outboxed by morales. i still gave morales teh credit for beating my boy pacquiao.

look in teh 2nd fight.

morales FELT PACMANS POWER COZ MANNY USED HIS OWN GLOVES. MORALES GOT KOD.

Okay, i watched the same fight as all of you. In some post i have read about this fight, some of you exaggerate your ass off. You make it seem Morales won every single round of this fight. That Pacquiao lost badly.
Remember the scorecards were all 115-113. that means Morales edged it out and won 7 rounds of 12 in the match on all 3 cards. He did Beat Pacquiao Convincingly, i will admit that, but honestly do you think he really beat him with EASE?

i think that this loss lets Pacquiao Haters feel good saying he got whooped badly to a Prime Morales, when in reality it was a close fight that Morales edged out.

and dont forget the fight was already over in the last round and morales went south paw just for the fun of it took every single shot from pack and gave him some lost the round out of carelessness and still won the fight. It was a good entertaining fight. Pac gave it all he had and it wasn't enough. It was clear from the first round when morales had pac dangling on the ropes that pac was in for a long night.
