    Morales switches southpaw and goes toe to toe, despite being comfortably ahead on the cards.


    Makes me proud to be a fan of boxing :D:D:bbb:bbb

    "Could have", there's no guarantee Morales would have won the round regardless if he did not switch.

    If I recall correctly (I did not re-watch), just before that round, Morales' father said "Don't do anything stupid".

    And then Morales switched to southpaw and started eating some massive punches!

    :lol:

    "Don't do anything stupid, son!"

    "Watch this, Dad!"

    Morales was substantially lower in the rematch, right from the offset.

    I find it hard seeing Pacquiao beating Morales when at his very best - he had the feet and the angles to keep him behind through 12.

    1.

    everyone remembers more pac destroying morales twice than the first fight, :yep :hi:.
    nobody likes decisions, because then they think their fighter won it, and vice versa.
    many people thought pac would've gotten atleast a split decision on that fight.
