Yeah... I remember it.

Morales look after 3rd KO was just something to behold. Morales speech afterwards was as classy as you can get.

There are times you got to know when you are the beaten, and I think I was the beaten man.

If you want to see what happens when Pacquiao fights a mexican in his prime. Look up their 1st fight along with Marquez-Pacquiao 1 and 2.

Anyways this fight was terrible, Morales was shot as hell

How about Pacquiao's 1st fight with Barrera? How about Pacquiao-Morales II? And there's no way in hell will I ever believe Marquez won 8 rounds in each of their fights (Marquez would've had to win 8 rounds in the first fight for a 113-112 decision and the 115-112 score that one of the judges scored for Marquez was a reach)

I was completely surprised. It was the first time in Morales's career where he had to clinch to stay on his feet, let alone not get up after a knockdown where it looked like he could keep going.

I loved watching Morales. He was everything great about boxing.

My favorite part of the 3 fight was the final round in the 1st fight. Morales knew he had won the fight, and turned southpaw in order to create more action. His trainer said, don't do anything stupid and then he goes and does that.

After the fight... the first thing he said was... Te Gusto? Did you like it? LOL... Merchant almost creamed his pants...

Haha I remember that round. In my head, I was thinking "What the hell is he doing? If he gets KOed...". That guy was all about the fans. I remember that interview going something like...

Merchant: Erik, was there a reason you went southpaw?
Morales: You like it?
Merchant: Yes. I did.
Morales: Alright then.

I couldn't stop laughing for the next half-hour.
