I tell you. The more I see of El Terrible the more im beginning to like him. Great timing, technique, and he was a scrapper even when he didnt have to be, [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEd7bmOS8Ro[/ame] Watch at 2:10 :rofl
He's one of my all time favorite fighters. For him to stand toe to toe against my favorite fighter and actually win earned him massive respect from me. Whereas most *******s don't like this fight simply because Pac lost, I like it because of the courage both displayed especially EM.
Pac is far better then he was then. Its like those morons who say that Castillo 1 is the blueprint for all of Floyds opponents. I just thought it was a great fight and great performance by MOrales were showing again
that fight alone is enough to put morales ahead of barrera in the ATG rankings. he schooled pacquiao there, had he not turned southpaw, the score could easily be 9-3 instead of 7-5. that goes to show how limited barrera is, MAB lost 22 of the 23 rounds to pacquiao. Never was morales lost 90% of the rounds to a single fighter.
It was only recently when I was no longer feeling disappointed at the loss that I really started to appreciate how great a fight that was.
