after last night, i think it is only proper that we bow our heads together for a moment and remember the great eric morales.. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEd7bmOS8Ro[/ame]
Hell Morales was ballsy. I remembered watching this fight, it was my bday, and I was bummed seeing pac losing. But I also became a fan of Morales in this fight. The fight was in the bag, and he could have fought safe in the 12th, but what does he do? Switches to southpaw, and goes toe to toe! Warrior.
Why, do you think Morales fought the same Pacquiao of last night, rather than the green, one-dimensional Pacquaio he really fought?
true, Pac keeps getting better, last night was his best performance to date if you ask me. That said Morales was well past prime in that fight and I think that one finished him, if not that fight the second fight was definately the end.
Prime for prime Pacquiao rolls over Morales regardless of weight class. It is truly amazing to see how far Manny came along from that skinny little kid that only threw the same one-two over and over again (and still manage to batter the best fighters out there).
1. EM is a legend 2. Going toe to toe with Pac in the last round was a stupid thing to do, it may have cost EM the second fight 3. Pac's defeat to EM spurned Pac on to become a much more complete fighter to avenge his loss.
To be honest, Pac is getting that Aura, that PBF has, when he's in a fight the other guy is defeated before they start and they are always playing catchup.
If anything we should remember JMM for fighting Pac for 24 rounds, and winning a majority of them. There is no doubt JMM won at least of of their two bouts.
