    In that 2nd fight, people say what they say about Morales but the fact was that after about 5 rounds in, Morales had control of the fight and even HBO commentators were saying that Morales is in control and that Manny should go down to 126.

    Then Manny comes out and dominates for 2 rounds by hitting Morales with big shots and clearly changed the fight around.

    Manny made some adjustments during that 2nd fight and won it fairly.

    The first fight was great as well. That last round was a classic.

    EM v PAC 1 & 2 are still my fav Pac fights. A classic like this cannot be underrated.

    That's because PACMAN sustained a CUT from an accidental(?) headbutt that has him bleeding for the rest of the fight. Morales was fighting a one eyed fighter after 5th round, and he couldn't even finish it with a KO. :hat

    If Eric wasn't beaten by the gloves, then why did he decide to use Cleto Reyes in the third bout?:deal

    this is pathetic for 3 reasons:

    1)you blame a loss to a brilliant opponent who fought maybe the best fight of his life on a headbutt instead of morales skill

    2)you imply said headbutt was done on purpose

    3)despite morales owning pac, and clowning him in the last round, you complain that he didn't knock him out and use that to degrade him

    congratulations, you fail on 3 levels
