    For me this is one of the best fights of the last decade. Morales fought beautiful, just rewatched it scored it 115-113 morales. A really great fight between two ATG. I think pacquiao learned a lot from this fight. just see how he evolved from that guy to the topwelter of today.
    A really fanfriendly fight where morales clearly won. We need more fights like that today

    Merchant: Erik, your father told you to not do anything stupid. Why did you go left handed in the last round?
    Erik: Did you like it?
    Merchant: (Laughs) Very much.
    Erik: Ok.

    LEGEND

    agreed with most of these posters: not really underrated and it's on the bottom of my top 10 all time favourite fights (with morales post fight interview being my favourite interview of all time)

    One of my favorite Pac fights even though he lost. Great performance by Erik Morales. Great effort by Pac despite the blood draw day before fight, bad cut over eye, and having to wear different gloves courtesy of his then scumbag promoter who makes Bob Arum look like an angel.
