Is Morales turning southpaw in the 12th against Pacquiao the ballsiest macho move ever?

    Can think of very few like this.
    Quite a few boxers have stupidly brawled when they didnt need to but not like this.
    Anyone got any more moments like this?

    It's up there, for sure. Him managing to hurt Pacquiao made it even more special, even if he did get outclassed in that round overall. Morales is my favourite post 80's Boxer, that 12th round is one of the reasons why.

    Morales was sometimes smart and always fearless however, unfortunately for him, rarely both at the same time.
    An absolute legend.
