It could be an excuse for a loss or even a win. If he loses, he'll blame it on the arm. If he wins, he'll say that he beat Morales even with a bad arm. Anyway, I say Morales by decision.

LOS ANGELES, California -- Manny Pacquiao said he had felt pain in his left arm after a heavy workout here but he did not let it hamper his training.
"Masakit, muscle pain, pero OK na lahat (It hurts, but everything's okay now)," he told the Inquirer after completing his afternoon gym regimen yesterday.
Pacquiao assured everything was fine in his preparation for the second encounter against Erik Morales on Jan. 21.
There were reports Pacquiao had strained his left forearm after it accidentally hit the head of a sparmate.
But Dr. Nasser Cruz, who confirmed the strain, said Pacquiao has recovered phenomenally.
"If it had happened to an older fellow, it would have taken longer to heal," Cruz said. "But Manny is strong, young and takes a lot of supplements."
Pacquiao winds up sparring here Monday morning before motoring to Las Vegas in a convoy in the afternoon.
Handlers said he was expected to complete 130 rounds of sparring in preparation for his battle with Morales.
What Supplements??
Sure hope so, so close to the fight, I hope the pain doesn't come back during the fight.
I would hope that he would cool it with the arm he strained, or whatever he strained. But your right, it could come back to haunt him in the fight. Hopefulley it won't...

I've strained a few muscles in my day, he's in excellent shape, so it should be sore for a day or 2, then back to normal.
I had ribs tonight, I love them. Anyway, if its only a strain he should be fine. Its going to be a great fight...

If he just strained a muscle, should be healed in a couple days. I'm barbequeing for this fight, so it better go down, because I want some FUCKING RIBS!

Thanks for the quick update dude, that would have sucked if this was postponed. So close... we are so close. This could be a great year to be a boxing fan.
