We are only one day away from what has turned out to be one of most anticipated fights in the last couple of years. Erik Morales, coming off a defeat in his third meeting with Mexican rival Marco Antonio Barrera, steps in the ring with Filipino sensation Manny Pacquiao.
Experts see this fight as Pacquaio's speed and activity level vs. the heart and experience of Morales. Both fighters can hit very hard and both men have already made their intentions of going to war early very clear. The winner will rise to at least the third spot in the pound for pound rankings and sets himself up with a big money payday against Marco Antonio Barrera.
It is now time for the BoxingScene staff to throw their preditcions in the mix and pick the winners of the upcoming Morales-Pacquiao superfight.
Jose Villegas - I really have no clue how this fight will play out. I've been thinking about it over and over and I can easily see each guy winning. I think im gonna have to go with Morales and his boxing over Pac's power. I think Pac leaves himself too open and Morales should step back and counter him to death with uppercuts. If Pac can make Morales slug then he will win, If Morales is smart and boxes then its gonna be his night, but this is really a pick em fight if I ever seen one. Morales KO in 4 details]
Boy, do I need to eat my words. Morales impressed me, but I sure as heck thought when Rick sent me the email that Manny would prevail. I really didn't want to pick, and just like I didn't "work" the fight, my desire was to enjoy the night, which I think everyone did.
this is interesting majority of BS staff including Rick thinks it will be Erik's night ...
any of you guys have some points to bet, i still have few change (50M) for a straight bet, he he he ...
