Prime Morales stops him in 8. Too much pressure.
If you followed Morales you would know he had just fought Pacquiao the fight before and MAB for the 2nd time in the fight before that. Morales took a lot of damage in those fights as well as MAB 1. I followed Morales closely and the 2nd MAB fight was it -- he was done, he looked battle torn and shot in the first Pacquiao fight. That wasn't the same Morales and the Morales that showed up for Raheem was most definitely not the same Morales.
He looked doughy and obviously having weight issues coming in heavy at 134 (career high). Lets be honest, he turned pro young (17), 12+ years in, and coming off hard years of legendary fights.
