    That's one of my favourite moments of recent times.

    Morales was winning the fight and then decides to switch southpaw in the 12th just for the lols

        The same reason why Maidana humping back Broner was necessary. He was outclassing him.

          but i do admit his intrerview with merchant was straight gangster though...

          Merchant- "WHy did you go southpaw in the 12th?"
          Morales- "Did you like it?"
          Merchant- "Yes I did"
          Morales- "Alright then"
          1. He didn't "basically lost the fight". He won, clearly

          2. It's cause morales is a true warrior and was toying with manny, showing the world that morales was still the baddest mexican, regardless of losing 2 out of 3 to barrera

          3. ****** move because it allowed manny to bomb away on him

          4 I honestly think that round ruined morales... He was never the same after that round, much like how Hagler was never the same after the hearns war, or margarito after cotto 1... Or like how serg was never the same after the 12th rd with chavez...

                Morales had the edge, and the look on Pac's face showed it

                Pacquaio hurt him when he was fighting as a southpaw.

                  did you watch the fight live?


                  that was one of the purest displays of masculinity you're ever going to see.


                  he put himself at an increased risk in the 12th because he was skilled and tough enough to do it. boxing is supposed to be about entertainment.


                  i went absolutely wild when he did that. absolutely batsh#t wild.

                  you have to understand the sport to know what you were looking at, i guess.
