Morales' long reach may pose danger to himself against PACQUIAO!!

I think too many people are underestimating El Terrible, when is the last time you saw about to get KO'd (never) or badly hurt early in a fight. Manny may have great power but he does not have an awesome chin, Nedal Hussein knocked him down with a jab. Also Morales has alot to fight for, he has to prove he can actually beat the fighter who beat Barrera and that he's not on the downside of his career. If Morales boxes him effectively early utilizing his jab and working the body, I think he can win by mid to late round KO or decision. At worst however i think he could possibly lose by late round KO. No way he gets knocked out in the early rounds. Important factor as well is how well Pacquiao carries his speed up in weight and how quick Morales looks.

to tell u the truth we all know morales has a granite chin but what about his body? i hope not but i think pac is goin for the body mostly in this fight. both MP & EM love to go the body. but you can't see the damage done to the body after the fight. obviously, the dramatic result is always highlighted on the face. plus when DLH was downed by a body punch, so many believed he threw the fight.

aside from a MAB-EM4, i love to see how erik's nose and chin holds up against pacman. if erik keeps his cute face after the fight, i think he should get a special prize!!!

we will see if pacman carries his pwoer iup to superfeather he has only a few times at feather so you are making wild assumptions that may not end up being true. As for koing Morales, cant see it Eric has a cast iron chin.

Advantage or not, pacman by TKO 4th rd. Too much power for EM. Too much hurry, I think Pacman should punish Erik like what he did to Marco. So everybody will say he's washed up, old and need to retire coz of so many wars in the ring. Then Erik can make a comeback by winning MABvsEM4. I'm sure GB will let Marco go to a 4th war with Erik thinking Erik is a goner.

Advantage or not, pacman by TKO 4th rd. Too much power for EM.

i'm sure morales will use all his assets. his longer reach is an asset & will be used to the hilt specially in the beginning of the fight. pacman will surely get buzzed in the early going, but pacman will also use this buzzing to measure up erik before he unloads his own bombs. i'm sure this will be an exciting fight coz erik will try something mab was not able to do against pacman. this fight will bring new credibility to el terrible if he beats pacman. but pacman has tasted marquez. pacman knows that good counterpunching will sap his energy. so he's going to improve on the tactics he used against mab. pacquiao wins by tko at 10th.

This fight is gonna be real close. First off Erics long reach is an advantage and his chin is more than decent its made of iron. Pac is very fast and i would not be surprised if the right hand shows up in this fight. Roach said after watching tapes of Morales he seems to make the same mistakes in every fight and he has tendecies. He stands up tall when he backed into a corner and he likes a much slower pace than pac. If pac makes the fight tempo really fast i see him catching Morales. Eric would be wise to box and wear Pac down and then go for a ko.

he also has a better chin than manny that could be decisive. So Morlaes is the bigger man, with the longer reach, more experience,and a better chin. youd be stupid or fan blind not to see Morales stands a good chance of winning TKO 9 to Eric.

I think Morales is gonna surprise people. Most people seem to think he has no power. But im willing to bet Morales is the hardest puncher Pacquiao has ever fought.

i find it hard to believe im even reading a thread that says having a longer reach is a disadvantage . How fucking ridiculous.

and i seen in the news when PAC went to Mexico, Morales said he will fight an intelligent fight, IMHO this means he is going to box, so PAC has to let it all hang out and pressure EM and lure El Terrible to a brawl... thats the only way pac wins. thats the only way pac fights. pac is not a boxer, he is a brawler. if he is to beat morales he will brawl. morales on the other hand can box and brawl. but if it comes to brawling pac wins easy. he has way too much power.

we will just wait & see bro come mar 19................... :D

I like both fighters. it's tough to choose. I'll pick Pacquaio because of the power.

i cant wait for this fight, i honestly believe that if morales chooses to box rather than brawl he can win the fight, but because morales has so much pride his ego wont allow him to box for 12 rounds in my opinion and this will ultimatley be his downfall. when he fought barrera the first and third time he fought barreras fight which involved little boxing and a lot of brawling, when he fought barrera at 126 lbs in their second fight he was boxing him more and even though i thought barrera won, he was unlucky not to get the decision (this is coming from a big barrera fan) i dont think morales reach advantage will be a big difference in the fight because i dont think he will use it to his advantage. i think pacmans gonna win by UD.

Morales is a boxer with a strong chin, his not known for his knockout punch. If Morales can withstand Pacmans best punches and throw a barrage of punches as he always do he can win a decision. As for Pacman, he also has a strong chin, he is a heavy hitter kind of a fighter. He can give u a world of pain. I bet Morales hasnt fought a fighter like Pacman. If Pacman can sneak his left hooks through Morales defenses, I think he can give Morales his first taste of a knockdown. So this is how I see it ends. Morales decision or Pacman by KO. I honestly believe that Pacman is also capable of winning by decision, but how I wish that it would be by KO. :) :) :)

I think Pac will really worked on his uppercut, right hook, and jab for this fight. Morales will not trade with Pac no matter what he says. Pac will keep pressure on him and eventually catch him. I totally agree with you!!! :) :) :)

I think Morales is capable of making a better adjustments than Pac not only bec. of His size advantage and reach but also His Ring experience,but then all this adjustments will be nulled once He starts to taste Pac's Power though it can also be said on Morales who I think will come much prepared and focus than on His last debacle against Mab. But we all Agree that its the WArrior's heart by both of this gladiator that will carry them on to victory. Viva Pacman!!!

If Morales comes into the fight as heavy as he was against Barrera, he will be in big trouble. He was around 143-145 lbs. and it was the most sluggish he had ever looked in the ring. His sharpness would have to be intact to make a good fight of it. If he comes into the fight around 135 (give or take a pound) then he has a good shot at winning.
