Late round stoppage in favor of Morales.

I actually like Pacquioa alot more than Morales. He's an animal... no, that's an understatement... he's a pint-sized filipino rampaging beast. However, he's a bleeder, and tends to just throw an never ending barrage jab-jab-right cross. He hasn't really broken from that in... how many fights? I think Morales has enough experience, and video footage of Manny, to figure out an effective counter. Experienced fighters are usually pretty dirty, so I wouldn't be suprised if Manny gets cut early from an "accidental" headbutt. Pacquiao also has this nasty habit of blocking all incoming punches with his face. He just has an amazing amount of heart. iirc, Morales is taller, so he'll be able to stand outside and work the cut endlessly unless the ref stops it, and hold on for dear life whenever he gets close.

That's what I expect. I'd rather see a 3rd or 4th round knockout of Morales though. I love watching Pacquioa fight... he's ferocious :t

PS the last fight (2004) between Morales and Pac-Man (real name hard to say lol) was very close.

http://www.hboppv.com/events/morales_pacquiao2/

On March 19, Morales scored a scorching points victory over Pacquiao in a riveting bout before 14,623 frenzied fans in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao started fast and furious against Morales in a battle which brought fight fans to their feet many times. Pacquiao won the first and third rounds on all scorecards as Morales weathered a huge firestorm.

Pacquiao won the seventh round on two scorecards and swept the ninth and 12th rounds. Morales won the fight by the narrowest of margins, 115-113 on all scorecards.

"They told me he was fast and that he was a tough guy," said Morales. "He sure was…."

Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach contended his fighter was hampered by the use of the wrong gloves.

"We had to use a certain brand according to our contract," Roach said. "That's not the case this time. We're using Reyes, a punchers glove."

Pacquiao is a phenomenal performer in the ring having fought at a championship level for years. An aggressive left-handed slugger, Pacquiao is recognized as one of the hardest punchers at any weight. He is 14-1-2 in his last 17 bouts, with all wins by knockout including a sensational stoppage of Marco Antonio Barrera.
