Reason Why Pacman did not fair to well....

[hectari]

This is not an excuse but the one thing he did that made him not fair well is he did not keep using his MONEY PUNCH that straight left! or go to the body more. I heard freddie roach say Pacman was one dimensional and this and that and he will prove the people wrong by adding a Manila Ice right hook. I think a true fighter does not care or change there style to please the crowd look at hopkins he keeps winning, look at Kostya Tszyu he always unleashes that straight right. One dimensional yes but add extra things to your arsenal but never disregard your Weapon.


that was his big ass mistake!

There were alot of reasons that Pacquiao did not fare too well, and his choice of punches and ceasing of body work after he was cut are part of it. As a matter of fact, the cut is part of it too! But give credit where credit is due, Morales was an even bigger part of that. He had a better strategy then Pacquiao, and seemed the bigger man. Is this to say that I think Pacquiao would not win in a rematch, not necessarily, but I also would not say that he would win for sure if he made changes either.

^morales was smart he didnt brawl with pacman till the last seconds of the 12th haahah and that last few seconds made him decide weather or not to give him a rematch pacman rocked him hard!

yea thats true to but diego has alot more power than any other opponent that erik has faced. but erik always finds ways to win either by slugging or boxing

It is true about Morales' chin, but everybody has their limits and if he keeps climbing in weight then he could find his. He was hurt a couple times by some shots to the body from Pacquiao, and he was rocked when he fought Jesus Chavez. If he goes up to lightweight he could be in for a hurting against Popo or Chico. Corrales especially has thunder in those fists, ask the (dare I say) even more iron chin'ed Castillo who was stopped for the first time in his career.

Pacquiao tried using the money-punch plenty but he was getting countered by Morales too much.

Funny thing is, Morales did exactly what roach and pac said they expected Morales to do. Pac hit Morales and Morales chased after him, I guess he just didnt expect Morales to come back at him like he did especially in the first round. Pacquiao also fought a lot on his back foot, When Morales wasnt circling him shoving that jab in his face he was chasing him down all the way to the ropes.

Barrera and Marquez kept chasing pacquiao but they would stop short of the ropes, and Pacquiao would set his feet and throw the money punch.

He also expected Morales to be slower than he was, and well lets Morales probably surprised him with how fast he still was both with his hands and his feet.

I disagree. He had no problem letting his left go. When it did land it did do damage. Just not enough. Roach told him in the corner and he was absolutely right, not to let Morales back him up. Pacquaio cannot fight going backward and neither can Morales. It really just came down to Morales' superior size and skill.
