judge: Jerry Roth 84-87 | judge: Dave Moretti 85-86 | judge: Paul Smith 84-87 ~ Pacquiao leading on all 3 cards.
That was one hell of a fight. After Manny almost knocked down Morales in the 2nd(?), I thought he was in for a short night. Then Morales kept him on the end of his jab and right hand. The beating Morales got in the middle rounds was brutal. I couldn't believe the punishment he took.
The sixth round ruined Morales. The haters all wanna label Morales as shot going into the fight, but, they all forget that through five rounds, Morales was in total control and full of energy. Lampley even remarks in the fifth, " Morales has brought a lot of energy tonight."
