Over 10.5 rounds for this fight is a slight favor at this moment. However my feeling is it should be a great favorite, possibly 2 to 1. They are both first class fighters looking to set a statement. I have a feeling that this fight will be similiar to the the Marquez fight. Even if Pacquaiao is able to get Morales down early, Morales will definetly finish the fight just like Marquez. When Pacquiao was down in the first round in his Barrera fight, he was able to rebound and win.
However you can't outrule Pacquaiao's record of 31 knockouts in 39 fights compared to Morales's record of 34 in 47 fights. 7 of the last 10 Morales fights have gone the distance, and he lost 2 of those. 8 of the last 10 fights of Paquaiao's have ended up in KO's and he hasn't lost a fight in a while. He is 5'6 and his reach is 67. Erik Morales is 5'8 and his reach is 72. There is no significant age difference between the fighter.
I have a feeling that Pacquiaio will come out strong while Morales will finish up strong. However my prediction is that this fight will go to the decesion and Pacquiao will be awarded the win. I highly doubt that we will see a knockout in this fight.
compare pacman to barrera and hes going down like jr jones.... bahahahaha The Mexican Warrior is going to take the s off pacmans chest...(lennox lewis)
how the hell does anyone figure morales can get knocked out inside of 8 rounds based on the past. Its possibly he gets knocked down but not out inside of 8. I predict Morales by 9th round TKO
Actually, from something I read at official Manny site and then rewatched it to see for myself, Barrera actually stepped on Manny's foot causing the trip. So aside from zero punch landed by Barrera, Barrera easily tripped Manny by stepping on his foot while Manny was turning his body. On another note about the past fight record, Manny is 14-0-2, and those 14 wins are coming by knockout. :)
then we have the same sentiment dude. Manny is on the winning side of the boat while erik lost badly, the momentum shifted to the pinoy boxer

Someone's going down, and it aint Pacman ;)
Oh and about how I think it'll play out. Many of you expect Manny to start out big, Morales to finish up strong. You would think this from past fights though Roach is extremely smart and so is Morales. Roach knows Morales tries finishing up strong to pull out wins so they have prepared Manny to hold a constant fast pace for the full 12 rounds. Morales also knows that if Manny starts out strong he needs to finish up big which is where the collision is going to happen. Neither is going to let up until the end though I do feel someone will be knocked out in this fight just like Manny said :)
