whats so funny is pacman attacks at the start of the fight, the morales jus chased him down to the other side of the ring. pacman still fights the same in my eyes, gets hit with same punch over and over. come on ho is he really gona beat floyd
Why do i get the feeling that Fanny has not learned shit he still fights the same that why so poor performance with JMM III. 1st fight with JMM Fanny was good... 2nd fight not bad...3rd fight bad
The only way to fight Manny is what Morales does here - keep a safe distance for the first half of the fight and pick your shots. Manny is too fast and too clever to mix it with early on.
why do people continue to think mayweather will lose to this amature boxer...mayweather will beat him soooooooo easy only people that are mentally challenged will think other wise i mean its one thing to be a fan but its a whole other thing when u reject truth and the truth is manny really sucks...like really, cause he has no good skill at all and bum fighters make him look good(not morales or jmm) mayweather will destroy him with ease and it shouldnt go past the 8th round
@mjharp1990 i dont know about a knockout, but i do think mayweather would get a fairly comfortable win, most people just appreciate a fighter who throws a lot of punches and instigates action, people who dont really know boxing dont appreciate mayweathers aplication to his craft that's almost like an art to me, if you really appreciate boxing, then the subtleties and defence that floyd applies are just as gratifying to watch as an all out war
Lets be honest, only morales and marquez give pacquiao good fights, like erick said in a show for espn latino, pacquiao's managers give him fighters that he can beat on the best way, not fighters who can beat him, come on david diaz? ricky hatton?
Where all them Pacman supporters at? Them haters want to watch Floyd's videos and comment on them. Comments on this shit ! Like Roger Mayweather said when Manny takes that test his ass is whooped he aint got no skill throwing all that wild shit.
Where all them Pacman supporters at? Them motherfuckers want to watch Floyd's videos and comment on them. Comments on this shit motherfucker! Like Roger Mayweather said when Manny takes that test his ass is whooped he aint got no skill throwing all that wild shit.
@BorgesProduction I dont think so, i think going to make the most defensive fight of his life, but i'm sure he going to win...if Pacquiao cant touch him, how he can win?, that is the reason for a perfect record and "REAL" champion in five weight divisions, not like Pacquiao..
I like Morales, but he's gonna get his face beat in by Lucas Mathysse.
Larry Merchant contributes to the fights, since you're not seeing the whole fight, just the parts that the uploaded loaded, you can't hear all his comments. Roy was a great fighter and a decent announcer, but Larry Merchant went to college to become a boxing announcer. Larry has won boxings announcer of the year multiple time.
@duequesne That's a stupid statement. Morales was an excellent technical boxer. He had a great ability to roll with punches too. In the next two fights he lost his chin, and he was too slow to do it properly. He was great in this one, and always slick before it. He lost to Zahir Raheem after this one, but I doubt that would have went so poorly for him when he was 5 years younger. Of course he would have been down at bantamweight too. He had great ring movement when he was at his best.
I REMEMBER WHEN THE PACTARDS MADE LAME EXUSSES AFTER THIS FIGHT THEY STARTED SAYING THAT MORALES GOT LUCKY,THAT IF THE FIGHT WENT 15 ROUNDS MORALES WOULD HAVE GOT KOED LOL PACTARDS CAN'T ACCEPT THAT THEIR IDOL IS JUST AN OVERRATED LOSER!
great post.I love how Roy Jones put Merchant in his place.WTF does Merchant contribute to these fights and why do we have to hear him ramble slowly and painfully every boxing event
Wow, thank you so much uploader. I'm giving this a thumbs up and save it to my favorites. I have been looking all over youtube for the real footage without gay music that ruins the whole video. The quality of the video is great. I actually found a video like yours, but the quality was SO BAD, I couldn't see the punches, faces, etc.
Once again thank you very very much...one of my all time great fights!
"Morales is playing the role of the counter puncher here.He didnt just watch that Marquez film, he has adopted it." Mayweather is the king of counter punching lmao.
Manny Pacquiao got his ass kicked, plain and simple. The guy is good, but definitely not the best. He is not humble at all, and the way he dances around provoking opponents is ridiculous. One day someone will smack a huge ass punch on his face while he does that and when that happens I hope he ends up in a hospital.
Morales dominated the whole fight and would of won by a greater margen but he swithced south paw to give manny a chance and make the fight more exciting, manny is a bitch who had to wieght drain Morales in the next 2 fights even tho everyone knows morales has always had trouble lossing and maintaining wieght just look at Morales in the rematch fights he looked like he was starving to death Fuck manny no respect for him Morales El Terrible is still the king and filipinos know this..
ms.pacman is a catchweight fighter plain and simple you got to be weak from weight loss to fight him. just look what happen when the last fighter he fought wasn't weak marquez. and marquez put him through hell and really won twice after that all weak opponents he's playing it safe now. thats why the mayweather fight is hard to make he want Floyd to weaken himself too.and Floyd not having that. so its more to it than a blood test. ms.pacman hasn't fought nobody in my opinion just washed up guys
I love it when Morales says c'mon and then starts beating the shit outta pacquiao. Not like pacquiao who also says c'mon and doesn't do shit but bitch by putting his arms up in the air.
OOOOOOH Ok so why did Morales just do a weak ass impression of a shoulder roll @5:38 and Pacquiao couldnt even handle it?....you know what that meeeeeeans lol
@myfeet14 lol. not at all. if that was the case pac would of fought differently. however pac did the exact same thing. it just worked the second and third time. so obviously morales wasnt the same fighter in those fight's as he was in this fight. if he was the same fighter then the result would of been the same. just like in the 2 marquez fight's. manny fought the exact same way for 24 round's even those he lost 14 of those round's he didnt change his tactic's once.
first of all, no one is talking about marquez. and pacquiao improved his right hand. that was the difference. and he got stronger. morales really felt it. thats why he got knocked the fuck out!
@myfeet14 firstly he never knocked out morales, he tko'ed hi. plus in the second fight morales simpley gave up. pac might have been stronger (although i find it strange that a 26 year old suddenly becomes that much stronger when he turns 27) but my point is pac fought the exact same fight and used the exact same tactic in the rematches as he did in the first fight. it worked those times cos morales didnt use the same tatics cos he was too tired and weight drained to do so. its not brain science!
@salin this fight prove's that pac's skills were not superior. pac didnt adjust in this fight even though he knew he was losing, why? was it cos he couldnt do anything eles other then come forwards swinging? the 2 rematches looked the same, the only difference was that it worked in those fight. so obviously rematches were more about what morales didnt do, then what pac did do. btw, if i have recyled anyones words then it's freddy roach who said making ppl come down in weight is a major advantage
listen to how quite merchant is during this fight. he's so upset to see his hero getting a boxing lession he just has nothing to say....lol. how can a pro commentator be so bias and expect to be considered good at his job?
Pacquiao learned a lot from his Morales fights. I agree, and thanks to Morales for that lesson123.. as you call it. That´s why I think, Pacquiao is up there and Morales is down there! After that lesson, Pacquiao learns more, and more. and more from other fighters. And look the results, 3x boxer of the year, boxer of the decade, p4p #1, considered one of the best boxer of all times and now a promising congressman too. I wonder what had happened to Morales after that fight.
what happend to morales was he moved up in weight got his ass wooped by raheem. after pac saw that instead of fighting raheem he made morales drain himself by going back down in weight so he could beat him. however pac learnt nothing from this fight. he fought the exact same way in the 2 rematches, the only reason why he won was cos morales wasnt the same fighter anymore. he was tired, beaten up and weight drained. if he wasnt all those things, then the rematches would be the same as this fight.
@slimithy12 drain him ?!?! this is Morales's natural weight class ... he shouldn't have gained weight to fight raheem in the first place. And If you cant recover in 6 months from a fight then morales must have had some serious health issues. Ive seen fighters come back in a month during tournaments completely fine, and even win there next fight.
Im not saying Morales couldnt have been any of the things you said but .. its easy to put the blame on circumstantial claims even though we dont know
@RemusRomulas - We do know about the circumstances. You can choose to stay ignorant, or you can choose to be informed. EM couldn't make 130lbs anymore, by the time he fought Raheem - which was 1 year after this fight. At the Wild Card gym, Roach was quoted as saying "Morales is finished, he can't even make weight". After getting dominated by Raheem, Merchant asked EM if he was going back down to 130. EM replied, "No, Never!". Team Pac put a weight penalty & drained him back down to 130 anyway.
@MaestroBoxing so did they put a gun to em head to sign the contract? since im apparently an ignorant moron by your godly standards ... why didn't he just go " hold on here fellas .. if your gonna make me go back down even though I said I didn't want to.. then I'm not taking this fight" no one would think he was a coward since your telling me EM said that he would never go down.
while were at it lets discredit all of pacs wins and strip him of his titles..
@RemusRomulas - Like Mayweather said, "Morales was washed up when he beat Pacquiao, he laid down in the rematch for the paycheck". It was obvious Morales was beyond shot after getting white-washed by Zahir Raheem in a "tuneup" fight as the 8/1 betting favorite. Morales had to decide to turn down Arum's paycheck or fight drained against a fighter whom he already beat. The interesting thing is he was actually outboxing Pacquiao once again, up until the point his legs gave out from the weight loss.
@MaestroBoxing I agree, Morales was past his absolute best even when he beat Pacquiao, but I think "washed up" is too dramatic. This was his last fight as an elite fighter. Anyways, I don't see how it can be said that he "laid down in the rematch for the paycheck," he didn't lay down at all. Call it deterioration from too many wars, call it the weight, call it Pac's body work, call it all of those things against a younger, fresher fighter who was a monster himself - but not laying down, imo.
@bigantho1 I agree with you to a point except for the body work part watch the 2nd fight Morales simply punched himself out Pacman had nothing to do with Morales getting tired its like you said years of being low weight maybe some of those wars had some to do with it but believe it's weight and personal issues he had with his family which is the reason he retired to start
@bigantho1 Eric Morales has never laid down in his life. What a great warrior. Morales, Barerra and Pacquiao are all such a credit to boxing. Some of the best ever.
@MaestroBoxing also boxers rehydrate don't they after the weigh in so on fight night some boxers come in 10-20lbs heavier than the weigh in weight Morales could be 140 lbs and maybe 150 lbs walking around weight so having more to do to lose weight for the fight didn't pacquiaos contract also impose heavy penalty per lb morales came in over thus ensuring he would starve himself and was there a rehydration clause in the contract limiting his rehydration weight during fight night
@MaestroBoxing not to mention erik morales vs raheem was at 135lbs!!! and the manny pac rematch was a 130lbs!!! manny pac is a fraud!!!! erik even pleeded to fight at 132lbs and manny said no!!!
Here u notice a couple of things with Manny. 1) He gets easily hit with counter punches. 2) He lifts his hands up every time he gets hurt. 3) He's bad defence becomes obvious when his pinned against the ropes.
In the fight after this Morales was completely and utterly dominated by Zahir Raheem at 135lbs. This is why Pacquiao's wins over Morales mean nothing because Morales had to melt down to 130lbs after being dominated by Raheem for the 2nd fight with Pacquiao. This clearly was not a prime Erik Morales. If Pacquiao had any dignity he would have fought Raheem but he blatantly ducked him just like he's ducking Mayweather, Mosley and all the other slick American boxers out there.
In this fight, Manny Pacquiao is not using his favorite gloves, Cleto Reyes.. He is using bigger gloves. That's why his punches was not as strong in the Marquez & Barrera fights.. But in their next two fights Manny with Erik, he used his fave gloves and you know what happened.
But overall, Morales really had a great fight in their first encounter.
@jongmarimon, That's a pathetic excuses. Pacroid just can't make up his mind. One minute he lost because of "Clitoris Gloves" the next minute the lost because he "had blisters on his feet" and the next minute he lost because of "blood testing". It's just pathetic excuses. People say Pacquiao is humble but he refused to give Morales any credit for beating him and just made pathetic excuses instead. That's the behavior of a LOSER, not a humble person.
@o0P4PBOXING0o I respect your opinion man. But no need for name calling here. I am just telling what happened. In this fight, he was not using cleto reyes gloves. And in my opinion, that's the reason why, there was no sting in his punches. And so you may know, the gloves is really a big factor when you're a brawler like Pacquiao was.
And let me repeat myself, i'm not taking anything away from Erik, he did have a great fight. He beat Pacquiao that night.
@jongmarimon Have u thought about the fact that if Morales would have worn cleto reyes gloves he would have killed Manny? Morales was the one giving Manny an ass whopping. And btw Manny weighed 5lbs more than Morales in the ring and still lost. It wasn't about the gloves, socks, blood tests, cut or whatever lame excuse Manny was selling. He simply didn't have enough skills. He got outboxed. And theres no excuse for that.
whats so funny is pacman attacks at the start of the fight, the morales jus chased him down to the other side of the ring. pacman still fights the same in my eyes, gets hit with same punch over and over. come on ho is he really gona beat floyd

Morales had to decide to turn down Arum's paycheck or fight drained against a fighter whom he already beat. The interesting thing is he was actually outboxing Pacquiao once again, up until the point his legs gave out from the weight loss.

@MaestroBoxing I agree, Morales was past his absolute best even when he beat Pacquiao, but I think "washed up" is too dramatic. This was his last fight as an elite fighter. Anyways, I don't see how it can be said that he "laid down in the rematch for the paycheck," he didn't lay down at all. Call it deterioration from too many wars, call it the weight, call it Pac's body work, call it all of those things against a younger, fresher fighter who was a monster himself - but not laying down, imo.

@bigantho1 I agree with you to a point except for the body work part watch the 2nd fight Morales simply punched himself out Pacman had nothing to do with Morales getting tired its like you said years of being low weight maybe some of those wars had some to do with it but believe it's weight and personal issues he had with his family which is the reason he retired to start

@bigantho1 Eric Morales has never laid down in his life. What a great warrior. Morales, Barerra and Pacquiao are all such a credit to boxing. Some of the best ever.

@MaestroBoxing also boxers rehydrate don't they after the weigh in so on fight night some boxers come in 10-20lbs heavier than the weigh in weight Morales could be 140 lbs and maybe 150 lbs walking around weight so having more to do to lose weight for the fight didn't pacquiaos contract also impose heavy penalty per lb morales came in over thus ensuring he would starve himself and was there a rehydration clause in the contract limiting his rehydration weight during fight night

Here u notice a couple of things with Manny. 1) He gets easily hit with counter punches. 2) He lifts his hands up every time he gets hurt. 3) He's bad defence becomes obvious when his pinned against the ropes.

In the fight after this Morales was completely and utterly dominated by Zahir Raheem at 135lbs. This is why Pacquiao's wins over Morales mean nothing because Morales had to melt down to 130lbs after being dominated by Raheem for the 2nd fight with Pacquiao. This clearly was not a prime Erik Morales. If Pacquiao had any dignity he would have fought Raheem but he blatantly ducked him just like he's ducking Mayweather, Mosley and all the other slick American boxers out there.

In this fight, Manny Pacquiao is not using his favorite gloves, Cleto Reyes.. He is using bigger gloves. That's why his punches was not as strong in the Marquez & Barrera fights.. But in their next two fights Manny with Erik, he used his fave gloves and you know what happened.
But overall, Morales really had a great fight in their first encounter.

@jongmarimon, That's a pathetic excuses. Pacroid just can't make up his mind. One minute he lost because of "Clitoris Gloves" the next minute the lost because he "had blisters on his feet" and the next minute he lost because of "blood testing". It's just pathetic excuses. People say Pacquiao is humble but he refused to give Morales any credit for beating him and just made pathetic excuses instead. That's the behavior of a LOSER, not a humble person.

@o0P4PBOXING0o I respect your opinion man. But no need for name calling here. I am just telling what happened. In this fight, he was not using cleto reyes gloves. And in my opinion, that's the reason why, there was no sting in his punches. And so you may know, the gloves is really a big factor when you're a brawler like Pacquiao was.
And let me repeat myself, i'm not taking anything away from Erik, he did have a great fight. He beat Pacquiao that night.

@jongmarimon Have u thought about the fact that if Morales would have worn cleto reyes gloves he would have killed Manny? Morales was the one giving Manny an ass whopping. And btw Manny weighed 5lbs more than Morales in the ring and still lost. It wasn't about the gloves, socks, blood tests, cut or whatever lame excuse Manny was selling. He simply didn't have enough skills. He got outboxed. And theres no excuse for that.
