The decision was just in my eyes. It was a close fight and it was scored that way.

What was that about after the Vargas fight, they talked about the ringside physician and how she was not in the EM-PAC fight and how business and politics control who they assign and ****, i didnt really get they were saying. They said they will be watching.

I dont think he was trying to make excuses about the headbut. I think he was referring to time it took for the ringside doctor to evaluate the cut. Remember the commentators remarking how long the process was taking. that usually the woman(sorry forgot her name) wouldn't have taken as long and she wouldnt have entered the ring at all, just called Pac to the corner and observed from there.

or was he saying something else? maybe i'm wrong.

i dunno maybe im wrong. Wouldn't be the first time I misunderstood
that old fart and probably won't be the last.

Maybe somebody translated what Morales told Merchant after morales barrera 3 that Ray torres so wrongfully translated.

**Sir_Jose** · 03-27-2005, 02:58 AM

Anyone who thinks Pac won or it wasn't a win for Morales is delusional

In the pre-fight discussion before the Vargas fight, HBO analyst Emmanuel Steward showed the two boxing gloves in question. The Winner/Winning gloves clearly was a pillow compared to the Reyes gloves. I thought I was being biased but I tried to check other boards and they basically see the same big difference that in my opinion could have altered the outcome of the fight.

However Steward, living up to his reputation of downplaying Manny, pointed out that Morales could have knocked out Pacquiao if the Reyes gloves were used. That's the problem if you have analysts who have personal interests.

Anyway, the good news is, HBO is clearly interested in staging a rematch. The cable giant would not go out of its way just to sow intrigue if they are not into something. Maybe its Barrera/Pacman or another Morales/Pacman this year. Pacman is definitely not out of the limelight
