How good was Morales when he still had something left in the tank. Balls of steel. this is just some feel-good moment for the former champion. [yt]5ZXxCcv6lBw[/yt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZXxCcv6lBw
WTF! Pac won this round despite one eye shut. Too far out to say this is a feel good video for Morales.
the hell are you talking about. He switched southpaw so that the two of them could slug it out...he did it to show that he could. He beat pac, he knew that, so he decided to give the fans a little something more. THAT is why I love morales. After the fight he was asked what he was thinking when he switched to southpaw, his response was "did you like that?". Warrior...and yes, a "feel good video" for morales
Morales was so ahead on the cards that he switched to southpaw and decided to trade with PAC you dumb ass...Thats like making PAc trade with Morales in his unorthodox style.
Showboating on a close fight as shown by the final scores does not mean anything. It does not also mean he won this round. Why don't you check who landed more punches? Post another video and show what is essential in a fight.
Fight was already decided after the 11th. Morales knew he was ahead. He knew that he could afford to give up the 12th round. He wanted to show the people that he is a true warrior. Also, compubox means ****. Pacquiao may have landed more punches but Morales may have landed the more effective punches. Just like in Marquez-Pacquiao 2, JMM outlanded Pac yet Pac won.
Here is the final score to show that it was close: judge: Paul Smith 113-115 | judge: Dave Moretti 113-115 | judge: Chuck Giampa 113-115 It was foolish for Morales to showboat at that stage of the game. One or two KDs in this round will spell the difference between a draw and win for Pac. That's how close this fight was, despite the headbutt that closed Pac's eye.
you dont know what you're talking about, my friend. this round alone was unforgettable for what morales did in there. after all the ****-talking by team pacman how he will KO morales and destroy another mexican legend. Morales switched southpaw in the last round, even though he was ahead in the fight just to show what a warrior he is. All this here is in this round is pride, respect, machismo, all in one round. If you dont see it how can you be a true boxing fan? Moreover, right here is Morales beating the man who beat the man who beat him, in his own mind cancelling out those prior losses to Barrera, this goes deep my friend.
That's 7 rounds to 5. It was that close because Morales gave away the 12th round. If he won the 12th round the scores would have been 116-112 or 8 rounds to 4.
Yeah, it memorable alright but I think it was not the proper time for him to showboat because anything can happen w/ a boxer like Pacman. The fight was clearly close as shown by the scores. A KD or two could change the complexion of the fight. I don't admire him for doing this. That's just my opinion, dude. Morales was not way ahead at this stage of the fight.
I don't think so. The fight was close despite Pac's one eye shut. Check the scores dude. A KD or two could change the complexion of the fight. He cannot afford to be cocky at that stage of the game. Anyway, at hindsight, that was the most foolish thing to do.
