Just watched the fight on Friday fight night. on sky sports. I wouldn't say it was easy for Morales but he was in control for the majority of the fight. I score it 116-112, great fight.
I also watched it last night on Sky - I had Em winning by a minimum of 2 rounds also, but i think if he had have worried about the scores he wouldnt have pulled the "southpaw stunt" in the last.
That said(Im going to knowingly contradict myself) between 4 and 5 rounds were close so i spose the Pac nuthuggers will give their man ALL of the close ones giving him something like a draw.
Who cares anyhow - the record books say EM won, end of story. Great Fight though.
Pacman is the kind of fighter that is always going to give you a fight no matter who is in front of him. Most fighters try and look pretty and do not fight or go and take the win.
Pac manned up in the fight and i give him lots of props, he stayed in the line of fire so he could fire back some hard shots of his own. Some fighters elect not to risk even if it means their loosing their possibilities of winning they just wanna finish the fight. Morales is anything but a light fisted fighter. Hernandez by his own admission said it was too hot to handle and elected to smother Morales' punches as well as his own to take less punishment.
A testament to the heart and bravery of pacquiao imo.
