    Third fight: Completely shot to ****.
    Burner I have heard you on more than one occasion refer to Morales as a shot fighter in his first and second fight. Stop it! The jig is up......

      For the record, there's a difference between "shot" and past prime...some people seem to call it the same thing...

          Morales is a fighter he was not shot(maybe the third fight)he put up a good fight in the 2nd fight.I felt the gloves was the difference in both fights.In the first fight they used 10oz gloves that was not punchers gloves.In the second fight they use 8oz punchers gloves nothing to do with Morales being shot.Had alot to do with Morales feeling Pacmonster's punches.

              The fact that he was past it in the first fight is still something that people wont admit.

                Did Morales fought like he was dehydrated in the 2nd fight. I gave you a reason why and how he lost in the 2nd half of the fight. And yet you keep arguing how he was dehydrated in the fight like Pac didnt do anything on how he was knocked out in the 10th...
                There's a difference between having trouble making weight and severely dehydrating yourself. And YES, Morales fought like someone dehydrated in the second fight. ABSO-****ING-LUTELY. Strong early, weak later. Why can't you accept that?

                  Did he looked like a guy that didnt have his legs at fight night.. I think not.

                  So you are goin to ignore that he fought Pac's pace for at least 7 rounds. You are goin to ignore that he was ahead of the score cards entering the 6th. So you are just goin to ignore the fact that he got hurt in the 6th, and had a busted nose and a cut by the 7th. You are just goin' to ignore that he fought his way back in the 7th and 8th despite being hurt. In other words, you are goin to ignore anything about the fight and just stick to your reasoning of him being dehydrated. Geezz...

                    Why does it have to be one or the other?

                      First of all it was a flat out ***** move that Pacs team tried to make every excuse possible for the loss in the first fight rather then giving real props.

                      Morales did fairly well even in the 2nd fight and was winning at first, but unlike the first fight he just did not have the energy to fight on.. clear proof he was pretty much shot and that the weight effected him badly + the fact that he had been 12-0 vs Rahmen.

                      The third fight was a complete joke

                      The Second fight was ok i mean sure i guess pac wanted some revenge for the loss, but even then that was a shell of Morales. The first fight he had given he one last truly great performance.
