4/14/07 KO 8 JORGE SOLIS (Manny heated up in round six after getting cut over his left eye from an accidental clash of heads.

1/21/06 KO 10 ERIK MORALES (Pac Man sought revenge from decision loss to El Terrible 10 months earlier. Morales 6-5 favorite. First five rounds replay of first fight, as Morales controlled fight with jab and had a 107-84 edge in total connects. Morales up by a point on 2 judges cards thru 5 and ahead by 3 points on third card. Pac Man did invest in the body early and that attack began paying
dividends in the sixth, as Manny outlanded Morales 32-8 in power shots. The route was on. Morales, unable to hold off Pacquiao any longer, landed just 20 jabs over the last 4 rounds. He was down in the 9th, before the end came at 2:33 of the 10th after Manny had a 18-5 edge in power connects in 10th and a 103-45 edge in power connects after 5th round. Morales was stopped for the first time in his 52-fight, nearly 14-yr. career. )

Pac had his best round in the 12th, landing 31 of 99 total punches, including 25 of 62 power shots. Too little too late, as the scorecards read 115-113 Morales across the board.)
