Losses shouldn't bring out the best in you, but you know somehow they do in me," Morales said. "There is nothing you can do about those things that are already in the past but I know what I am capable of doing and what I want to do in this fight."

Morales, who has held titles in three different weight classes, is suddenly in need of a big win after losing two of his last three fights. The Tijuana fighter has made a career out of standing in front of opponents and brawling with them, but must now answer questions of whether that has begun to slow him down at the age of 29.

Morales, though, says he is the same fighter he has always been, and just had a bad night against Raheem, who used movement and effective jabs and combinations to win a unanimous upset decision.

Morales said he will use the first fight as a blueprint of what he has to do in the rematch to win.

"After you have been 12 rounds with a guy there are a lot of things that you see that are good. I know he is strong. I know he is fast. I know he is a good fighter," Morales said. "But I also learned that he is not as strong as a lot of people think or I never give him the opportunity to show his power against me. I am not going to give him any openings to hit me with his best shot."

Pacquiao, whose all-out, never-quit-punching style has made him a national hero at home, says he is finally at peace with himself after a bitter split with promoter Murad Muhammad, who he blamed for making him fight with gloves he didn't like in the first fight.

Pacquiao will go with Reyes gloves in the rematch, which he said allows him to hit harder because they are made with horsehair instead of foam. Roach said he has also tried to polish his fighter's style somewhat so he won't be hit so much.

"He fights with his heart and emotion," Roach said. "People say you should change him and settle him down. But this is what makes him exciting and you can't take it away from him."
