I was ringside and saw it 117-111 for Morales. I can see how someone scored it 115-113 for Morales. A few rounds were close, but I thought Morales controlled the pace and boxed beautiful.

I watched the fight with no sound and to tell you the HONEST TO GOD"S TRUTH, the fight could have gone in both directions. I watched it with some hard core Morales fans and they agreed with me. If you listen to Lampley who controlled the calling of the action he built Morales up to look like Pac was nothing in comparison. Lampley was Consistenly talking about how much of a warrior Morales is and mostly ignoring what Manny brought to the table. Also when calling the action he called most of Erik's punches and used big adverbs to describe Morales' punches while he ignored alot of Manny's great combinations and big punches. If not for Merchant's voice popping up once in awhile to voice how close he thought the fight was, HBO would have had everyone believing that Morales thoroughly won. The decision was good actually. Most people want to believe that the fight was not a close fight and I just don't see some of the scoring you guys have. I would like to hear how a non Morales fan scored it.Comment

I am non biased and watched the fight without hearing any commentary. I thought Morales controlled the action. Paq fought bravely but didn't do enough.Comment

Commentary never bothered my judging. I don't like turning the sound off cuz I don't hear the punch's impact. It's funny cuz at times, I would hear one of the three commentators call a punch that was never there.
Anyweyz, I had it 8 rounds to four for Morales.Comment

I've seen all judges scorecard. If we were to be bias towards pacman, it could have been scored a draw as they disagreed on some rounds. Still I think 115-113 was a fair score.Comment

On the delayed telecast...Jim was talking to Stewart who was holding both the winning gloves and the Reyes gloves!! I was surprised at the outstanding difference of the two. It's like night and day...the winning gloves was twice as big as the Cleto Reyes. I'm not saying it would have made a difference as Stewart says, it works vice versa...EM could have knockdown MP too. But MAN those winning gloves are PILLOWS!!Comment

Chups those avatars are really destructive you know that? I come here to think boxing and I end up thinking women
I think Morales look more shakey in the fight than Pacman. There was the 1st round where Morales was very clearly hurt and of course the 12 where he was wobbling. I didnt see Pacman really hurt anytime duing the match, just got pounded. I think the gloves would have made a difference on the 12th round because Morales looked like he was gonna go down. However if they had used cleto reyes I dont think Morales would have given Pacman the 12th round opportunity in the 1st place.
The gloves shouldnt be used as an excuse but should definetly be used next time round, increases chances of KO's and people just love to see KO's.Comment
