    I think it was a great win, Erik showed great heart and skills that night.....
    I don´t see too many people talking about it, so what´s your opinion on that win ?

    I just love the last round. I love that last round, it's such a crazy thing to do. Roy Jones sounded like if he stood up a flock of sparrows would have flown out his arse.

    :deal

    There was such poise in the way he handled him and backed Pac up.

    Great win which along with the pac Marquez first fight, put into perspective what a bad performance Barrera gave against Manny.

    MAB looked like **** from the opening round against Manny in 03. Bad night.

    I thought MAB started well enough against Pac in the first few rounds but then Pac just totally took over, but's just a hazy recollection I could be wrong.

    Great win, probably his greatest performance, specially in hindsight.

    The PAC / MAB fight was stunning for me. Just remember watching PAC with eyes like saucers.

    It's his greatest win.

    It came against his greatest opponent, and he used all his skills and will to get it done.

    The second and third fights should give perspective to how much it took Morales to beat Pacquiao the first time. Terrific performance.

    Morales actually said before the fight that it was his biggest fight.

    He also explained exactly how he was going to win.

    Career affirming. The word 'epic' is in vogue and often misused but fading but leading in the last round, to go southpaw and war it up!!!! Love it.

    And regardless of Marco not looking all that and the convenient dishing on his brain surgery just beforehand, well, he got trounced. I give Manmy maximum credit for that. Marco was on, what, the best run of his career? Manny smashed him up. Best win of his career IMO.
