Prime Erik Morales vs Manny Pacquiao

Stopped an old drained Morales, sure. There is reason he moved up and never fought at 130 again. Only when Pac drained him down for PPV dollars.

Prime Morales beats Pac up everyday, and you know it :deal

 

Pacquiao lost to a washed up morales the first time so this is stupid.

Just think of what he would of done to pacquiao before he fought barrera

 

so you are saying that morales' camp forcing pacquiao to wear pillows as gloves is an excuse yet you have no problem giving morales that drained excuse why he lost?

morales was even outboxing pac for the early rounds like what happened in the first fight until pac's body punches took some effect and stopped morales. even a shot version of morales was not stopped at the higher weights today against big punchers like maidana and garcia.

 

this.

 

It's not an excuse, it's reality. Morales was past it against Pac when he beat him, and he was past it when he lost to Raheem and then to Pacquiao. and guess what, he's still past it now! There is a difference between a fighter being past prime and a fighter using the wrong equipment as an excuse

 

lol double standards.

 

yeah there is a difference and it is convenience.

pac was green and using pillows as gloves that was forced unto him by morales' camp. that's not an excuse but the reality. see what i did there? :yep

 

he was also moving up in weight and bleeding into his eye after a clash of heads.

Excuse or reality?

 

i'm laughing now at his hypocrisy.

 

you know what's funny, Morales was winning the second fight against Pac even more clearly than he was in the first at first, but then that weight draining kick in and I remember him getting off the stool and his legs just turned to complete crap and he was complaining about them a lot in the corner and had them massaging them (which is an awful idea).

Coincidentally, that's when Pac started winning

 

some good body work and has a nice punchers gloves is nice also to stop an iron-chinned guy like morales who incidentally was never stopped by anyone else until now.

 

Pretty much. There is damned good reason they wouldn't fight Morales at a higher weight when Morales requested it.

Pac and his drain games

 

Pac's gameplan in the first fight was to throw bodyshots also :verysad

 

not at all. It was a back and forth battle for the first 6 and then Pacquiao ran away with it as his power started taking a toll on Morales.

In the first fight you could tell Morales was often shrugging off Pac's blows and pushing him back to the ropes, which is very unusual.

In the 2nd fight Pac eventually overwhelmed which is quite typical of Pac.

 

morales was at 130, pac moved-up from 126 to 130 the first time to fight morales. the rematch is also at 130. so pacquiao fighting morales at 130 is equal to draining morales?
