took him awhile but pacquaio finally said,"f-ck this,i`m going to press this thing"....
if he`d stayed outside,i think he would have lost again...
and the bodywork was key...
you have to press these mexicans...the workrate manny put out exceeded what eric,after all those fights,could keep up with...manyy`s compact,quicker shots overwhelmed morales...s
whew..i was afraid manny was going win a decision..that would have been a bad situation....
those last 2 fights were excellent...
i think morales is done...

I agree, Morales doesn't look to have his heart fully into boxing anymore. On top of that, his body betrayed him. I think he should retire. I'll tell you who else should retire...myself and my bad picks to start up 06'. There doesn't look to be alot of great betting in the next few weeks anyhows. I have to sit back and look at where I'm going wrong.......

Paq by TKO near the end of the 10th round. Bayless (Ref) stepped in to stop it. Morales's legs left him around the 6th or so and never returned...
I didn't get to watch the fights, had company in town so I saved the $50 and will catch the replay next week. I'm sure they won't replay the Castillo fight though, I wanted to see that as much as the main event. If anyone could give me a breakdown of that fight I'd appreciate it.
I still think the Morales / Pac inside distance hedge was risky, if Morales would've held on to finish the fight there's a good chance Pac takes the decision. When I hedge a fight like that, I want the 4th option not covered to be a huge longshot. I thought Pac by decision was a very possible outcome, Morales coming down in weight must have drained him, he looked bad in the weigh-in photos.

according to all my sources, they said morales was complaining of tired legs after several rounds, a sure sign of an aging fighter, with the weight draining and all the hard fights it's possible he's reaching the end of his tether. I can't wait for the replay on hbo.
from what I read about castillo, it was a split decision and a robbery. most said the other guy won.

i don't think the castillo fight was a robbery. i think it could've gone either way and castillo started to turn it on in the later rounds and did enough to win the decision.
I thought Munoz won the fight with the knockdown in the 1st round. I pretty much had it 6 rounds a piece, with the knockdown winning it for him by one point. Munoz scored a knockdown in the first round by applying alot of pressure to Castillo. Cas... didn't look that hurt, just that the pressure got to him. I thought Cas...was saved by the bell around the end of the 8th round and Munoz was saved at the end of the 11th by the bell. I thought Munoz won the first half of the fight and Cas.. the 2nd half. Overall, a good fight, with alot of good action. I put a $10 bucks on a Munoz decisions at 12-1, so I was roooting for him. The judge that had it 116-111 for Cas..., what fight were you watching?!?! 115-112 Munoz, 115-112 and 116-111 for Cas... I think were the scorecards at the end...
