    Great debut fight.

    In the 2nd fight - Morales didn't look the same as he did in the first fight. Didn't look like he wanted to be there. You could just tell from when he was walking in. He was exuberayting so much confidence in the first fight before the bell first rang. It was weird seeing him no where near as confident before the 2nd bell rang in the first fight and he had already beat him. Normally fighters are a lot more confident in the 2nd fight.

    Pacquaio looked physically a lot stronger in the 2nd fight.

    That's because Pac wore his Reye glove :lol:.

    Morales and Marquez are better boxers than Manny Pacquiao. But one thing for sure Pacquiao is better than Barrera.

    Morales was tapping that ass for a few rounds but ultimately what PAC and his team strived for bringing him to 130 instead of the weight Morales wanted at 135. Morales weight draining finally caught up to him, it was so apparent...

    He wasn't as confident, knowing that he couldn't force Pacquiao to wear the pillow like Winning brand gloves in the rematch. He recalled how those punches felt with Winning gloves on, and couldn't imagine the pain he was about to feel, with Pacman wearing Reyes or whatever it was he wore that fight.

    I thought Morales looked good in the 2nd bout for the first 5 rounds or so until he fatigued and got caught with something..

    I remember betting some money on this fight and the way the first 5 rounds were playing out, I was confident that MOrales was gonna win again but then starting from round 6 i believe, **** went downhill quick...

    Morales definitely looked like he wanted to be there. He fought a very competitive fight. He got older, Manny got better.

    ^ Exactly. First fight was a great, competitive fight. 2nd fight Morales looked a bit shopworn but still very good, and Pac simply got better. He developed a right hand and he actually had something resembling a defense, which he didn't have in the first fight.

    I thought Morales look good the first half of the fight but his legs gave out when his corner started rubbing them in the 7th i knew it was over

    Morales was actually tapping that ass pretty much the same as the 1st fight, but all his wars caught up to him & he gassed like a mofo.

    Both great fights.
