    i'm just saying morales is just 28 years old when pac fought him the first time. pacquiao was 25 that time. and morales' only loses came from a bum named marco antonio barrera.

    Shut manny down?

    You're basing this on what?

    Not watching the fight?

    Not knowing how to score a fight?

    115-113 or 7-5 in rounds is not shutting someone down.

    Its winning a close competitive fight.

    In the second fight, Morales was clearly getting tagged even in the early rounds. IIRC, there were two occasions when he almost went down but he grabbed the ropes the first time and in the second time the ref's body kept him from staggering backwards. His legs didn't just give out, he was being clearly pummeled, unlike in the first fight. I'm puzzled why everyone, even the HBO commentators, were saying up until the 5th round that it was Erik's fight.
