Throb · Mon Nov 20, 2006 5:20 pm PACQUIAO DESTROYS MORALES

Manny Pacquiao stopped Erik Morales in the third round in the third meeting between the super featherweight rivals.
Filipino Pacquiao put the three-time world champion on the canvas three times in Las Vegas as he earned his 34th win inside the distance.

It was 30-year-old Morales' fourth defeat in his past five fights.

WBC International super featherweight champion Pacquiao lost on points to Morales last year but stopped the Mexican in the 10th round last January.

Southpaw Pacquaio now has 43 wins, three defeats and two draws, while Morales (48-5) once again failed to arrest the slide in his glittering career.

Both fighters came out punching with Pacquaio putting Morales down for the first time in the second round.

And after knocking Morales down midway through the third round, the Filipino finished him off with thunderous left hook.

So Barrera next is it for Pacquiao ? he's beat him once already.

Looks like the end of the road for "El Terrible" Morales now as well.
