Why does everybody exaggerate Morales-Pacquiao 1?

[ANDROID_DOES]

Then, it`s a fact you didn`t see the last round. Morales didn`t go southpaw in the last round, he got staggered. If that was 15 rounds he could have lost.

By the way, a trilogy is intended to decide who really ****s who. So if Pac won by 2-1, I wonder why you keep dreaming. Wake up! It`s 2009 already! Pac ****d and dominated your boy, weee !!!!

dude you look pretty dumb. Morales went south paw the whole round. Pac didn't hit him till morales went southaw. Morales was toying with him cause he knew there was nothing pac could do to hurt him. that took a lot of guts.

Morales beat Pacquiao, So thats more than enough for me to give Morales credit. Then again I gave them both credit enough, Had it not been for Corrales v.s Castillo 1, this would have easily been FOTY 2005.

Morales did give 1 round away so it went 115 - 113 instead of 116 - 112. I still think it was a close and entertaining fight. The cut was indeed a telling factor in the fight because you can see how Pacquiao was bothered by it. Still we got to give props to Pacquiao for continuing on despite fighting with that cut. Morales had a good gameplan against Pacquiao as he used Pacquiao's aggresiveness against him.

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.

It was a close but clear victory for him. I don't think anyone thinks that it was not close, or I haven't heard anyone say that Morales gave him a whippin'.

The bold part though is wrong. This was still not close to a prime Morales. He was long gone already. He fought about as good as he could have at that stage and as well as his ruined body could produce at that point but he was already ****ed up.

The fight straight after he lost really badly to Zahir Raheem and the fight before that he lost and got pretty badly beaten up by Barrera.

When he first got really hurt, for the first time in his career, against Jesus Chavez it was very easy to see then that it was close to being all over for him. In that fight he looked slower, didn't have the same punch resistance, less reflexes etc etc. Then he looked terrible (no pun intended) against Hernandez as well. His whole SFW run was just a series of fights that showed a fighter at the very end of his tether. He was done badly even by the time he fought Pac the first time.

This has no bearing and is not a dig towards Pac at all so don't have a fit. All you need to do is watch a prime Morales at SBW or FW and the difference is unreal. Hes' a completely different fighter. It's so sad seeing him lose so easily. Right when he got hit he would fight back so har4d and like such a psychopath ti was incredible. When he got hurt by Chavez and didn't do the usual thing, I knew then that he was near the end.

Great fighter Morales. One of boxing greatest ever warriors. A true legend.

score cards were close
cuz morales gave away the last round
the score cards were close but the momentum of the fight was always morales
