Description : Here we have an original HBO Boxing Pay per view poster featuring Eric Morales & Manny Pacquiao in tune up fights just before the proposed 3rd meeting between these 2 great legends of the ring. A shock upset occurred when Eric Morales on September 10, 2005, moved up to the lightweight division and was defeated by unanimous decision by Zahir Raheem. Raheem frustrated Morales with constant lateral movement. Raheem rocked Morales in the 5th round and built a lead on the scorecards, but Morales rallied in the 11th round and staggered him with a right hand as Raheem's glove touched the canvas, but it was not scored a knockdown by referee Jon Schorle. The final scores were 118-110, 116-112 and 115-112 in favor of Raheem.
Also On September 10, 2005, Manny Pacquiao took care of business when he knocked out in six rounds Hector Velazquez at Staples Center in Los Angeles to capture the WBC International Super Featherweight title, which he went on to defend five times. On the same day, his rival, Erik Morales, fought Zahir Raheem and lost via unanimous decision.These HBO & Showtime PPV posters are not made available for public consumption & can only be sourced from a participating PPV outlet hence the scarcity as once the televised event if over, then these posters go straight to skip.
