In honor of tha fight

I had a request to discuss boxing so I will.
Las Vegas has the WORST judging in fucking boxing. Nevada has the most powerful comission in the planet, yet they can't any judges other than the Three Blind Mice.(Giampa, Shirley and Moretti. And like the vowel Y, Jerry Roth also joins that crew sometimes.) Actually the scary part is they weren't even the worst judges of the evening. Ok Dave Moretti was bad as always. But Carol Castellano was TERRIBLE as always. She ALWAYS gets it wrong. And Adelaide Byrd did a terrible job scoring, which is a surprise because usually she's decent.
So after a night of terrible decisions that robbed Brian Viloria and Mike Arnaoutis of wins and titles, we came into the main event with fury at a high.
Morales came out first with the Mexican equvalent of the so called "rapper/hype man" entrance, but the song itself was much more subdued. Wrestler Rey Mysterio Jr. was there for the ring walk as was Morales' father who was back in his sons corner.
He looked fresh and in excellent shape. You could tell that he meant business as entered the absurdly quickly.

Pacquiao was in Bruce Lee shape and when he was hitting the pads to warm up it sounded like Joe Frazier era George Foreman was hitting them. His smile gone you could tell he was going to fuck shit up as his thunderous music hit.

Alright Buffer does his thing, crowd's at a fever pitch, Larry Merchant says one of his now bullshit one liners, and both men come out slightly tentative. For about 30 seconds. Both fighters look like they are trying to hurt each other with each shot. We get the occasional jab and measure, but mainly bombs. Early in the fight Pacquiao is hitting himwith some clean lefts, but Morales comes back with some astounding powerful flurries. Pacman isn't doing his typical awkward constant motion, he actually is sliding across the ring more and cutting off the ring. They trade at the end of the round and the crowd is going crazy because there just wasn't that much of a feeling out process.
Lederman has the round for Pacquiao. So do I.

In round two Morales comes out stronger. He's battering Pacquiao around. Landing good combinations, Pacquiao is slightly off balance and he's moving with his back to the ropes. Somehow Pacquiao takes one good punch side steps a combination and threw a POWERFUL left hand that reminded of Ali's description of his "Phantom Punch" in the second Liston fight.(This can be seen in When We Were Kings) Morales falls to a knee, giving Pacquiao a chance to tee off through the reast of the round and a three point lead through two rounds.

In round 3 Morales looks OK, winning the first minute and a half, but Pacquiao breaks out "Manila Ice"(His right cross) and stuns Morales leading to an EVEN WORSE left that sends him down. Morales IS hurt, but he gets up. The ref Vic Drakulich gives him a chance(rightfully) and Pacquiao is headhunting. He goes fast and furious for his combinations and lands three bad shots that sends Morales down for good. He could've gotten up, but there was no point. And with that combination his career essentially is over.

I'm sure it was absolute fucking bedlam in Gen. Santos City, because it was a sensational KO. Nobody had an early knockout pegged.(I picked Pacquiao to win again, but not by knockout.) But everyone was in shock, due to the brevity/excitement of the fight. And frankly it put me in a better mood after all those garbage decisions.
