Morales Dominates Pacquiao
He was suppose to be washed up. Wasn't he? But Erik Morales looked like the Erik Morales of old, with his relentless attack. He took advantage of Pacquiao's reluctance to throw the straight-left. He almost completely abandons his straight-left (the same left that nearly beheaded Marquez), and instead relies on a lead right-hook, followed by mostly uppercuts and some more right hooks.
Morales weathered the first storm, and then instinctively attacked Pacquiao, and gestured at him to fight. Pacquiao fought the entire 12 rounds like an absolute warrior. But it was Morales who was stronger. It was Morales who hurt Pacquiao, on route to a surprising unanimous decision victory. Morales revigorates his status as a pound for pound contender with this victory. Pacquiao shows what kind of heart he has, and more importantly, he shows, he's human.
