Erik Morales is Too Hard on Himself
Erik Morales could have lined up an easy opponent, looked fantastic and flattered himself in flattening him, thus assuring a blip free return against Manny Pacquiao. But that’s just not Erik’s way. He’s an absolute perfectionist who never ducks a challenge and always takes on the very trickiest and toughest tests. It really unstuck him this time.

Erik who fights Zahir Raheem at the Staples Center in LA on September 10th, has been conditioning himself for almost two months at the Otomi High Altitude Training Center perched in the mountains above Toluca.
