    FINALLY! Just watched Morales/Pacman

    7-5 for Morales

    rematch...

    awesome fight...props to Manny...and his heart shown...determination...was always in the fight...

    props to the winner Morales who came with it, stood toe to toe...when he was hurt several times, he just jumped forward and traded as did Manny on most occassions...

    anyone saying Pacman is done or overrated needs to rethink what they are saying...Pacman fought better than he has recently, just against a guy who refused to buckle under his will and was the better man that night...I think Pacman still has good power at 130, Morales just has an IRON chin and fighter's determination to fight back effectively when hurt...Pacman showed a great chin as well

      There better be a rematch. Hopefully he will look into this promoter disaster. I wonder how much they paid the promoter to switch the gloves in the contract. Freddy Roach said they are pillow gloves, haha.

        saw an article that said manny was suein murad
        apparently murad made like 2.45mill
        while pac only made like 1.75mill
        so im thinkin
        pac and murad were haven trouble
        murad thought manny might leavem
        murad had oppurtunity for pac to fight erik
        eriks camp wanted his gloves
        so long as murad got some more cash he had no problem
        he either figured pacs gonna lose so might as well cash in
        or pacs gonna win and leave my ass so might as well cash in

          like Roy Jones said,it wouldnt have matter what the gloves were with how morales skills were owning pac and with how much pac was getting hit and countered.

            People seem to under estimate how close this fight really was. I mean, yes it was true that Morales did deserve the decision- however, there were a number of times when Pacquiao's punches hurt Morales- especially to the body- and if that HEADBUTT (not a punch, haha) had not opened up a brutal cut which poored blood into Pacquiao's eye for SEVEN ROUNDS then it might have been a different ending. (Or might not have)

                  no excuses PAC got beat, Erik was just technically and mentally superior that night, but i would love to see a rematch ...

                  hope you Erik fans would also support a re-match...

                  any news on Erik's next move??? hope he stays at 130 until the rematch.

                    i saw the fight saturday night on the rerun...I scored it 115-114 for Morales, pacqiao deserves a rematch, and the can wear the mexican gloves this time....emanuel steward explained about the gloves, saying that the winner gloves were softer and donot make a clenched fist, but he also added that had they worn the mexican gloves, it was more likely that morales would have knocked out pacqiao intead of pacqiao koing morales.
