FINALLY! Just watched Morales/Pacman

[JOM'S]

If they fight again they will wear Morales' gloves again. He won the fight, he's the much bigger draw Morales is holding all the cards.

i guess so, i just hope that Erik stay longer at 130 until, PAC can get his re-match ...

[Stickman]

For my point of view... Gloves is not an issue. The real reason of PCAMAN's defeat is the head-butt.
It is hard to fight a methodical fighter with only 1 eye. But as the PACMAN said: Charge it to experience, Better luck next time.
and next time, the power of the PACMAN will surely show and EM can surely feel it

Of course being outboxed contributed nothing to his loss, it was the headbutt, plain and simple.


The cut probably bothered him a little, but if that's enough to cause him to lose a fight, then he needs to haul his happy ass back to Manilla, 'cause he doesn't have what it takes to be a fighter.

Anyway, he was landing the left about as frequently after the cut as he was before....he just happened to be in the ring with someone who could take it, and was the better boxer.

And before the glove-thing comes up here....I could see being annoyed with the glove requirement if he'd only managed to land 1 or 2 big left hands that really shook Morales up, and then was never able to land effectively again throughout the fight, but come on, Manny landed that left of his over and over..Morales just has a great chin. No matter what glove Manny wore, that fight just wasn't going to go his way. And what others have stated is probably true. Had Morales been wearing the Mexican gloves that Pacman wanted, it's more probable that Manny would've been KO'd, not the other way 'round. As many times as Pacman landed that left, if he could KO Morales at all, he'd have done it in that fight.

Holy **** I just saw Pacman/morales on Saturday. That was one of the best fights I've seen in a long time, I really wasn't expecting it to last all the way through the 12th though. I don't think the headbutt is why Pacman lost though honestly but godamn that boy has heart he fought hard even with that going on that must have hurt. mazel tov to my boy morales

[G-dub]

Is it me or Freddie Roach didn't knew what to say in pac corner. I've never heard him say "use your jab", wich would have been a good advice.

What do you guys think of Freddie?

[bigdlb12]

i thought it was a great fight but i scored it 8-4 morales. but there were some close rounds that could have gone either way

that sounds about right giving manny round 12, but I feel morales was still strong and could have taken it had he not done what he did, but what a 12th round 8-4 in my score card

[dangerousity]

Gloves and headbutts are not an excuse, it does however factor on the outcome of the fight. Im not saying Pacman would have won, Im saying lets have a rematch and see how it goes without those factors taking into place.

[SnoopySmurf]

A rematch would be great! I hope they both get paid more than the boring-ass heavyweights. About the only exciting thing in the heavies are James Toney, Tua and Norman Stone (who'd not even a boxer).

He knew what to say except that the corner was a mess. There was a lot of chaos, everyone was screaming, Roach tried to relay the message but it was hard to get through.

It was Buboy who kept screaming after the cut. Lenny Dejesus had to lean over him to work on Manny. It was insane.
