Yea, thats what i thought too after the body shot, Morales looked very hurt, but he came back.

I didn't think he was in any danger of being KO'd. When Pacquiao hit him with a good left on the ropes and then backed off Morales just looked at him and signaled to Pac to come back and then sent Pacquiao back with a righthand. The bodyshot did get him a little but I think when the HBO crew was saying Morales was doubling over he was just block the other body shots Pacquiao was trying to land.

When Pac hurt Morales to the body and the latter folded, I just wanna know what woudl have happened if Manny through a power uppercut to the face when Morales' head was down.

Too bad Manilla Ice wasn't an uppercut.

And props to morales for not pulliing a De la Hoya and taking his body shot like a man.

u dont think the fact that morales took a shot from naturally smaller guy
and DLH from a naturally bigger guy had anything to do with it?

I can't wait to see the replay sounds like a great fight...

a PAC FAN here. I thought after the first that it could have happened...if he followed up to the MANY combinations he had in the early rounds. But after he just kept on back peddling after the combinations, I was just bewildered why in the world he would do that. You should never give your opponent to regain balance. Even his power did not come full circle at 130lbs he had oppurtunities to dish out more hurt and at least win the round.

None of this thread matters, Morales NEVER gets KO'd, why even bring it up???

Why don't we argue about how heavy-fisted Paulie Ayala was, or how intelligent Tyson is, or how sober Larry Merchant is.....
