why was morales siwtching southpaw in the 12th round against pac such a big deal??

[Robbie Barrett]

That fight was the last time he was anywhere near his best. Great and sad at the same time.

[soul_survivor]

[STAX ON DECK]

that was the mexican equivalent of styling on a mf'er, it was bad as hell.

what sthe pureto rican equiv of styling on someone? a left hook KO?

[MRBOOMER]

I mean that's pretty cool he knew he was winning and said **** it anyway and went to war and showed pac he couldn't get him anyway it went.

Kinda like Floyd hitting his gloves together and punching pac in the face.

Because people love and respect someone who takes risks and comes out on top

[Tyler_Durden]

Cause he was and will remain a bad ass the rest of his life.

[SAN D13GO VILLAN]

That fight was the last time he was anywhere near his best. Great and sad at the same time.

He didn't do to bad years later vs a bigger Maidana, even dough he lost that fight I was happy for him, he almost got the upset.

That's all BS about Morales putting on a show in the 12th just for the fans. He changed stance because he thought he needed a knockout to win.

At that point in time he wasn't confident he was winning the fight and wanted to go for a knockout, risking it all and almost got knocked out himself. That's the warrior spirit in Morales.

[Divine Hammer]

Because he was well ahead and it almost cost him the fight.

Pacquaio hurt him when he was fighting as a southpaw.

how was he well ahead??? he only won 7-5 on all 3 judges scorecards.

morales is just too much heart. even if he knew the fight was close he still takes big risks.
