How Many Rounds Did Pacquiao Win In the First Morales Fight?

[Double_L]

In the Rematch Morales was winning in all three judges scorecards halfway through the fight until his legs were basically noodles even the commentators mentioned his gas tanked a bunch of times

Pac MADE his legs noodles, and I highly doubt Morales "gassed out", it was just an accumulation of punishment. The fight completely changed after the beating Morales took in round 6, capped off by a vicious body shot at the end of the round in which you can clearly see him get hurt and back up.

Morales was never the same after that.

that was a good fight. morales gave pac a dose of his own medicine while pac showed tenacity fighting on with a nasty cut and did good in the late rounds.

it was funny to see morales almost paid dearly for his bravado when he turned southpaw in the last round. when pac wobbled him, morales turned back to his natural stance. but that's morales for you...he even tucked his one hand behind his back when he fought raheem because raheem refused to fight in the late rounds knowing he's ahead in the scorecards.

lol this thread reminded me of when some pacfarts kept trying to change the Morales/Pacquiao pages on wikipedia to say that Morales poisoned Manny

The only reason Pac lost the first fight to Morales was because of his socks, everyone knows that.

True....and what happened when PAC had on his right socks LOL.

I love Morales, but even I must say Pacquiao got jobbed in the first fight. First of all, the glove thing kind of pissed me off. Pacquiao wasn't allowed to use the Reyes, which he used to destroy Morales the next two fights. Second, the cut Pacquiao suffered I could have sworn was from a head butt. But by ruling it was caused by a punch, it makes you fight completely different, knowing the fight can be stopped at any time and you lose on a TKO. Third, last time I scored this fight, I think I had it a draw at 6 rounds each, but it has been at least 5 years since I scored it, meaning it's time to go back.

Pacquiao's excuse about the socks was hilarious and made him look ******, but I feel like he had a lot of other legit gripes he could have brought up. Great effort by Morales, who did give away the 12th (and otherwise would have won 7-5 on my card) by fighting southpaw, but I always felt like Pacquiao was the better of the two.

I had it as a clear 7 rounds to 5 win for Morales

A very raw one dimensional Pacquiao wasn't in his prime either.

Pacquiao was absolutely prime in the first Morales fight, don't talk ****.

keep the votes going!

Pacquiao was absolutely prime in the first Morales fight, don't talk ****.

In the first fight, Pacquiao was a one dimensional who relied too much of his straight left. He also doesn't know how to use his right hand effectively and he can't fight backwards if pressed. Not a good prime fighter example for me but in second fight, Pac right hand was like a magnet in Morales face and he knocked down Morales with his right hook while moving backwards. If you can't see the different please watch the fight again.
