In round three,
Manny Pacquiao,
44-3-2, dispatched a
completely beaten
Erik Morales, 48-5,
with a buzz saw
attack and heavy and
lightening quick
hands. There was no
particular drama
involved, nor will
it be a candidate
for fight of the
year....it was too
short and one-sided
for that. Erik made
an attempt to fight
back in round three
but that only opened
the door for Manny
who closed matters
out with his
non-stop attack and
brutal left hands
thrown with the
deadliest of
intentions. When
Morales went down
for the last time,
he shook his head at
his corner. He knew
he was a beaten man.
He knew the long run
had come to a close.
How "Pac Man" could get any better
than tonight is hard to imagine. He
was pure excitement and a fan's
dream. Another Manny, Manny Steward
says there "are still some flaws in
Manny." Great! That makes him all
the more exciting.
As for "El Terrible," the many great
fights he has given us have clearly
taken a toll. Moreover, his loss of
weight did him little good on this
fight. Erik, please, it's time to
go. You have always had the heart of
a champion and always endeavored to
thrill the us. Now, it is time get
out and await your induction into
the Hall of Fame.
Simply put, Manny Pacquiao is the
most exciting fighter in the sport
of boxing today.
