    Pacquaio vs Morales: Who dominates the fight early?

    Who do you think will be leading in the scorecards after the first 3 rounds, last time the official judges had Pacquiao ahead after 3 but Howard Lederman had Morales up.

    I imagine the fight will be similar in the early rounds to their last fight. Manny presing the action and throwing more shots with Morales keeping his guard up and throwing mostly counters and it'll probably be 2:1 for Pac.

        morales is a slow starter...unless he would come up aggressive this time...i see pacman ahead after 3 rounds.

          Morales was hitting Manny with some solid counters the first fight, maybe Manny gets a little too agressive early and Erik continues to counter... he will definitely be at the top of his game. I'm going with Erik.

            I think it will be similar to the first rounds of the last fight, Manny is gonna try to jump on Morales and Morales is gonna be like what? and come back at manny creating close first rounds.

              i don't think its fair to use the term "dominate" to describe the first 3 rounds, of course you're most likely going to have to give the rounds to one of the two, but neither will "dominate" the other.

              that being said, Pacquiao's aggressive style could be what it takes to look well in the judges favor at the start, but again, i see this fight going either way at any point during the fight..

                It seems to me Like Pac is a faster starter and it will probably not change tonight.

                  manny, excited and filled with adreniline, takes the first three rounds with brawling, but will fade down the stretch imo. i like maorales to counter him more later in the fight when he gets tired. i like morales here, but i can see a controversial stoppage in favor of pac in the early or mid rounds.

                    i dont think pac will be aggressive this time..if u watch the velazquez fight he's not that aggressive. and sinced he study the raheem - morales fight. i think pac have new tricks.
