He looks about 155 looks like his age is catching up with him, I wouldnt be shocked if he gets out boxed by the fresher raheem.

how could you think that his age is catching up to him he is only 28, and at the top of his game, and probably the reason why he looks chubby its because he has been trying to maintain healthy cause last I heard he had to have surgery.

He's 28 but he has been through alot of tough fights and has been fighting for a long time. He will beat Raheem after a few rough spots early. Raheem's style could pose some problems at first but I think Morales will find a way to win.

I really wish i could agree with you but i really dont see how this kid could just come in and take over the game, he has never been metioned probably because he has not beatened anybody worth mentioning, the only good fight he has had was against Rocky Juarez (they say it should of gone to him)but that is about it, Morales has fought huge, huge fights so this kid might just be a warm up session for Morales.

I think Morales is like Hatton, they eat what they want, but they lose all of it during training, Morales by KO.

Well I heard pacquiao walks around 150 pounds but he is mostly muscle so that is really unhealthy to have to lose like 20 pounds of muscle.

He has more than a month to get into shape...shouldn't be a problem.

It will be a problem to get down in weight for him. He fought just as hard to get down in weight as he did in the fight against Pacquiao.


Morales has never fought someone with the style of Raheem so I think he will have to adjust in the early stages and then he will do his thing.

Erik Morales is lean but he is naturally a bigger guy his frame shows it. I dont even know how he managed to go down to bantamweight but if he started his career at his regular weight 147 he would never be the great erik morales he would lose advantages and probally get knocked out because of the bigger punchers.

Raheem is undefeated IMO...That fight with Juarez was one of the worse ref jobs ever...Im going with Raheem to outbox Morales...I think the kid has some talent and will prove it when they fight...

Ooh...bad fight for Morales. Raheem is under rated and under appreciated. Morales might win by UD...but Raheem will make him look bad and this will be controversial for some fans. Morales will impose his size but Raheem is slick slick slick.

I agree raheem is one slick ass boxer! I am going with him by upset deciscion. This guy got robbed because of a stupid "BACK of the HEAD man" ref.

Morales is so much better than Rocky Juarez.
Raheem is slick, but he will definitely be broken down by Morales. He won't be able to hold him off.

Man Morales Is Gonnna Tear This Vato Up Show Him How A Real Mexicano Gets Down. Maybe This Cat Gets Sum Early Rouonds, But By The 5th Round El Terribles Gonna Unload On Him And Take Him Out By The 9th Round. Morales Is A Great Fighter, I Dont C How He Could Get Beat Bi This Chavala, Hes Only Lost 2 Barrera, N This Kid Aint Been N With A Mexican Like Morales.

I don't know anything of Raheem, but Erik - the thug - will probably beat him.

Morales I think will have no probably with Raheem. I predict that he will KO Raheem in the 10th or 11th round pretty easily.And what do you mean his age is catching up to him....hes only 28!

I don't want Raheem to ruin ta rematch Pac will get in December. I hope Morales whoops his ass. Seriously though, I don't see how Morales can mess up in tis fight. Raheem may have a diff style that Morales has been fightin ova ta years, but nothin that'll give him trouble. Morales by eazy UD. He won't KO Raheem, he don't got ta power to do that.

Anyone else just plain hate the name Raheem? Just say it, it sounds annoying as hell. He might be a good fighter but I want to see Morales beat the crap out of him due to name value alone.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this Raheem's lastname pronounced the same as the Rahim in Shareef Abdur-Rahim?

I wouldn't rule out the possibility of an upset, Its not really Raheem's style but his speed that'll give Morales problems, but Raheem has a fragile chin, and he might wilt in the later rounds which is Morales's zone. I'll root for Raheem though I think this kid's been ducked for sometime. I'd rather see him in w/ Marquez two terrific counterpunchers. Anybody correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Raheem a southpaw if so that would be another big advantage, I can't think of any solid southpaws, Morales has faced, yeah I know Pac is a southpaw but doesn't really use the movement to his advantage.

Morales is a great fighter, Rahim is not, Morales has been tested by every kind of style yet he wins. Morales in 10

I just got back from Kauai, Hawaii and I had no cable for over a week. And came back and BAM! I was ALMOST right! I was right about Morales picking the wrong fighter but I was wrong that Morales might pull a controversial decision. Anyway, I just wanted to toot my own horn. :D

Pacman won, as expected. He had an easier fighter compared to Raheem. And I'm Pac fan. (Also a Morales fan, but at least I try to be level headed. :) )
