i have never seen that morales before, tired after 5-6 rounds? being hit and not throwing back, no energy, not working the body, not using the jab as good? morales has really worn down, i dont expect u pac fans to admit it but u know in the back of your head that that morales was no where near as good as the first fight pac, morales is starting to show his boxing age i think he is done
what kind of excuse is this.
morales is fighting a top caliber opponent
he should have prepared more
the truth is after Pac hurt him in 9th round you can saw that he is done already.
the chicken run is the sign of going down.
Like I said on another post. Morales had no more legs from the bodypunching, it was just a matter of Pacquiao knocking him out or the corner stoping it cause Morales wasent gana quit.

its a joke, props to manny, but erik is still a champ
Pacman fought a great fight, but Morales losing had some other contributions besides Pacman being the better man in that fight on that particular night. Morales was visibly tired and drained, most likely weight drained. He said that 130 is very difficult for him. If you have seen more than just the EM/pacman, EM/Raheem fights, you would know that EM is a true warrior. That EM was not the same guy that stepped into the ring with MAB. Not even the same EM that stepped into the ring in the first EM/Pacman when he beat up on pacman. In the Raheem fight, Morales looked slugish and drained, this fight was the same. And all this fight does is even the score anyway. They have both lost to eachother so don't speak as if Pacman is greater than EM. I give much respect to pacman, he fought a great fight, he is a warrior and a great fighter, but stop insulting EM, who is also a great fighter.

We are not insulting EM, we acknowledge his fearlessness.
I hope Manny goes back to 126. He was visibly faster in that weight class than at 130, even though he carries more power at 130, IMO. No feather fisted fighter knocks down Erik Morales unless they have power.
The difference in the 2nd fight from the first:
1. Body shots
2. Slightly better defense
3. Better balanced footing
4. Did not over-extend his offense, controlled aggression
5. Gloves - yeah, they made a big difference mentally and physically

Morales and his camp said prior to the fight that he is in the best shape of his career.
Erik's loss has nothing to do with aging. He was the same Erik in the first rounds until he got hit by Pacman's heavy hands. He broke his nose early too. And most boxers complain of weak legs when they get hit frequently on the head and chin. That's probably what happened to Erik.

Or weak legs from body punches. I've never seen Morales's nose that badly broken before. He looked like Marv from Sin City:
