Manny to KO Morales by a 67% HBO vote! Wtf?

I'm not saying it's SO EASY. I'm just saying, it's not as tough as people would imagine. the main thing is the size difference, and I don't see how Morales who uses his height well should have trouble with a smaller man that only comes forward. It's just simple talk, of course it's not easy to pull off, though Morales did it pretty well in the first fight which is what I'm going on...

That's cause he didn't do anything for those early rounds, thus, he starting winning the 2nd half of the fight in many peoples eyes. Vs Manny, Morales just has to counter punch his way to victory. He doesn't need to move around as much as Manny does since he's the bigger man with the better jab. He can just keep jabbing Manny away all night if Manny doesnt' move. Thus, Manny is the one that requires the stamina when he fights Morales, he needs it to keep moving and keep punching. He did this pretty well vs Velasquez, though you could see, he was dead tired by the 6th rd. He summoned energy outta his reserve tanks to do that final fury on Hector that put him away. Lucky Hector didn't want anymore cause Manny was huffin and puffin as he walked away so the ref could do the count.

in the first fight, pacquiao looked really tired after about 4 rounds. he usually has stamina for 12 rounds throwing non stop punches. pacman needs to also work the body a lot more this time round, he was doin so well in the first 2 rounds attackin morales' body. this fight is too close to call. if pacman wins i think it will be on points, no one has ever KO'D morales in his whole career and i cant see that happening anytime soon, unless he fights someone like corrales or castillo at 135lbs.

seconded!~

I love how everyone here is already saying that Pacman will TKO Morales easily. This is Morales...not a one hit wonder. And of course I know I will hear the excuses "Pac wasn't in the right state of mind, he wasn't using the right gloves". Well what about the time Pacman fought Barrera? Barrera was forced to leave training camp and fight somewhere else because of a fire. But of course if he had the Reyes he would of knocked iron-chinned Morales out! Barrera's style is all wrong for Pacquaio but I would put my money on Barrera if they ever fought again, which I think they will. chickengays always refer back to the training camp crap. pac lost to morales, then rematches him soon after barrera loses to pac, then avoids any talk of rematch verdict: barrera is a chickengay

Ok, I for one, as much as I love Manny, would not pick him to KO Morales at all. He's lucky to get a decision. Now of course you can't see how many people voted at the HBO website, though let's assume it's a lot. What are these people, stupid? They truely base things off last performance. Manny KOed an unknown, Morales gets beat by a slick boxer in a style Manny would never have in a million years, and now they assume Manny's gonna KO Morales, completely forgetting what happened in the first fight? To me, it's all about the size difference(not that you perverts! :D ), and Manny will never be able to compete against Morale's size at 130lbs. not only can pac ko lord chickengay morales, he has bigger cojones id be surprised to see erik coming forward for more than 4rds

i like the way that sounded... welcome to boxingscene! Nice to be here!

Manny under estimated morales in the first fight. It's a different story now. Pacquiao's camp thought that Morales was on the way down after his his second loss to barerra. I think that manny is more prepared now mentally having already fought morales. I predicted that morales would defeat pacquiao in the first fight, I predict that it's 50-50 either way in the rematch.Morales is always dangerous after a deafeat and is technically superior to manny not to mention his size advantage.I do believe that manny has more heart and has more to lose out of this fight since Morales, win or lose has already cemented his greatness in the past years while manny need to prove that he is not just a one trick pony and prove that he belongs in echelons of boxing's elite..

Well it's 67%...a big difference from 60. :D Just kidding. :D yeah that means morales will only embarras manny not KO him and embarras him :eek: just kidding :D

yeah and in the gatti vs mayweather they had gattin to ko floyd 60%. not too reliable

I cant help but laugh at some of the opinions on these boards. Some of you seem to think Pac has won the fight even before it has started. Are you forgetting that its Erik Morales he is fighting. Morales is arguably one of the finest boxers/fighting technicians in the sport today. He has been involved in some of the best fights known to us fans and usually comes out on top. The way you guys ramble on you would think Pac was fighting a one legged, blind, arm-less midget. Pac has great power, or so they say, personally I disagree although I think his power is above average its just not as great as people say, but if his power was that great then surely he could have finished off JMM after 3 knockdowns as if he cant put him away with 3 so called power hits then where is the actuall power?????. People get confused with flash knockdowns and power knockdowns. Pac also has good speed, which I openly have to admit, however this seems to make him lunge forward too much in the hope of a connecting punch but against Morales he would be made to pay every time. Pacs weakest point is however that he has pretty much the same amount of boxing skill and ringsraft as a chocolate raisin and against someone of Morales pedigree he has not a chance. If Barerra didn't have a bad night against Pac then I doubt we would even have heard of him as since that night he has no significant wins on his record. I hope Barerra beats him after Morales does, then we will get some peace. Try and keep replies to this post to a normal level guys as I know what some of these pac fans can be like with the cursing and swearing and silly words like pwnage and nayayayayahahahaha (I mean if you cant give a knowledgeable answer leave it to those who can) Im really just trying to say that people who write Morales off know nothing about boxing nor the legends involved with it(EM)

I hope all you idiot Pac fans know that Morales made the fight a war because he wanted to give the fans their worth and he didn't see Pacman hurting him and thought his chin could take the punishment. Check out the first 2 rounds, Morales dominated Pac. YOU = DOWN SYNDROME (mentally retarded) ...maybe Morales was too groggy to realize he was hurt ala Zab Judah vs Tzu LOL j/k!! :D Pac did hurt Morales you lesbian baboon!! with all due respect to all Morales fans, i pick Pac by TKO/towel late rounds! if Pac says he's going for KO/TKO this time around, bet on it!

I hope all you idiot Pac fans know that Morales made the fight a war because he wanted to give the fans their worth and he didn't see Pacman hurting him and thought his chin could take the punishment. Check out the first 2 rounds, Morales dominated Pac. Idiot pacfans? and what kind of idiot fan are you? You apparently are a retard saying that it was purely EM who made the fight a war. And why only the first two rounds? :eek: You idiot ! watch the entire fight! lol!

haha, the vote of Manny KOing Morales has dropped about 50% worth with Morales winning by decision taking a large increase. Now were getting more realistic! :)

I don't see Manny winning this fight, one lodgic would be that if Manny won, they could set up a trillogy, however, Morales would have lost 3 of his last 4 fights. He would be seriously damaged as a top ten fighter and i don't think HBO would want to lose the investment. A better result would be for the fight to be a draw. Then neither lose face and could set up a third fight! the only thing that would make manny lose this fight is if arum would suck the judges' cocks

I think Morales will be in top form for this fight. I dont see Pac winning.

Morales is no Hector Velasquez, that bloke was brave but technically limited and slow as snail :D Morales will outbox Pacquiao once again to a UD win. A Pacquiao TKO win will be a big surprise, this is boxing anyways, anything can happen. :boxing:

remeber who i am because i stand by my word. morales will not lose. hes a smarter fighter than pac man who is a exeptional fighter. there is no way he will ko morales. he has a iron chin for one and too much heart. he has only hit the canvas once in his career. which by the way is a bunch of crap. anyone that saw the morales barera fight knows the truth that it was a push. i dont see much of a possibility that pac wins. morrales is just too good for him. the only way he will win is if the judges rob him. but if pac wins fair and square i will give him the credit he deserves.

Both fighters are in for a tough night when they fight. If I had to give an advantage going in I'd give one to Pac because he's younger, feels like he has more to prove, & he's using his right hand more. If he mixes up his attack, he can win. If he fights the way he did in the 1st fight, he loses a close decisionIf neither fighter is cut we should see fireworks for 12 rounds if it goes the distance.

manny, when is the last time morales was stopped? when has Morales faced someone who hits as hard and fast as Pac? When has Morales faced someone that throws as many punches as Pac? Simply put, jest becuz he dint KO him in the first fight AND LOST a UD, doesn't guarantee that he can't stop Morales. Judah vs Spinks is great example IMO.
