    How badass is morales just dominating pac?? And *******s I don't wana hear about 2 and 3........I'm talking about fight 1..


    Retreat “ dominating" lol just a bad ass fight and a great time for smaller fighters
     
  2. Pacquiao KO10 and KO3 Morales in fights 2 and 3.

    And I'm not a *******, so Its ok for me to mention it.

    Great fight both ways. Both guys landed bombs. Great performance by Morales.

    I wouldn't say dominating. Pac won 5 rounds, but it was definitely a huge win for EM

    I love round 12, this is one of my favourite fights, morales going southpaw then gets hit by a huge left is insane.

    :deal

    This fight and the 2 Marquez fights were the last times that we saw Pacquiao against a live opponent.

    OMG... i just rewatched this 2 days ago and i must say when i actually scored it i had it pretty lop sided for Morales. He just did everything right in that fight and Pac looked flat and out of ideas

    Morales is definitely a warrior. I just watched 2 and 3 last night. What a difference in pac's skill level. in 2 he threw a few right hook counters. In the third, man he set those counter good.

    Good fight - I thought the cut was the main difference, took Pac a while to deal with it and it was a clear 7-5 fight for Morales. Pac wobbled him at the end when he turned southpaw, but Morales right hand was a thing of beauty in that fight.

    Great fight indeed, wouldn't say dominating though, a win for eric, of course, but dominating no. Forget the gloves, the blood drawn, the socks, the cut, etc, i would like to have known how different it wouldve been had morales not seen the blueprints of the barerra and marquez fight. Morales was said to have studied that marquez fight 8 times.....i actually had it 6-5 eric until the 12th and when he switched he pretty much gave it to manny so on the reals i had it 6-6, but a 7-5 morales I have no problem with either

    We'll never see a featherweight division that good again. Wish Hamed would have stuck around and Manny would have gotten there a little earlier. I liked that era even more than the SRL-Hearns-Duran WW era.

    Manny didn't get much better, he threw right hooks and moved his feet damn well at that stage of his career. The main difference is he was fighting serious ATG's in MAB, EM and JMM. Now he's just fighting very good fighters.
