    A lot of people considered this fight as a boxing lesson for Manny.
    With the score of 115-113 for all judges, that's 7 rounds to 5.
    115-113 is considered a close fight scorecard in other fights. That score is quite close for calling it "outboxed". Do you really think Morales outboxed Pacquiao in this fight? Your thoughts.

    Did you see the fight? Morales outboxed Manny for the large majority of the fight. He was so confident that he won that he switched to southpaw and brawled with Manny in the 12th.

    Morales out boxed Pacquiao because he used his reach and jab to maintain distance, and he also counterpunched effectively. Pacquiao did have his moments but that was when Morales chose to trade with him. Credit Morales' chin for him surviving those shots, especially during that 12th round where he went all loco and traded with Pacquiao using a southpaw stance.

    he beat him at his own game consistently. the 12 round was a give away round and even that was competitive. great fight

    Morales had a brilliant performance even after all those wars with Barrera, he was shot to **** in the 2nd and third fight.

    He did outbox him but Pacquiao is enough of a fighter to still make it close

    they should put you and MVC on the undercard of pac-floyd but i don't think they'd let a couple of 12 year olds fight in a vegas casino.
