" I was very tired. I had a hard time making 130 lbs. I was just tired of boxing. He punches real hard."
Dont make me laugh Morales.. You even looked better tonight than your last fight with Raheem at 135. Excuses.. excuses.. excuses.. Pacquiao proved all of you that the gloves did matter.
fucking owned.... :rolleyes:
thanks for the reply buddy, your right EM can do anything he wants, Erik already earned everything he got and nothing to prove, if he stops now he is still hall of famer, but I still want to see him banging heads ...
THis sounds really gay, but I've always liked your posts JOM's, Your head isn't up your ass and you always seem generally agreeable.
Ok, going to bed, but here's some observations I made after rewatching the fight.
Manny's speed advantage was just too much. I mean Manny caught EM with man lead lefts throughout the fight. He also had his way with EM's body.
lb for lb, no one's got better power. Overrated, my azz.
130 should be the highest Manny should go.
Good night everyone...
At 30 it really is a question of what he wants. He can retire if he wants with the millions of made and I don't think people will think less of him if they look at his resume and the wars he's gone through. He can't stay at 130 easily due to the fact that making weight is so dificult.
While I can't give you an answer I can give you two possibilities..
If Morales comes back to fight at 130... he truly wants to bang some heads and continue to be great. If he comes in to fight at 136 he's hoping he's good enough for some wins but I'd say it's not as likely his heart and will are into it.

EM won't do it!! here are the reasons:
1.he had trouble making weight (130 lb limit)
2.he got beaten in a very convincing fashion (almost the same as barrera's)
3.he can't get any better. if it's right to say his on his way to declining
3.a fighter like him who's not used to this sort of beating will find it hard to recover from that and because of that...
4.he will retire or maybe move to 135 lbs.
Excellent points, but EM is stubborn and he may feel that he wants revenge after a lot of thinking. And to think, EM was even considering fighting Corrales at 135.
hey guys i am quoting myself, nobody tried to answer my question..
i am really interested what Erik's next move SHOULD BE...

Pare, I think it should be a nice LONG break... then decide if he wants to exercise the rematch clause against Manny
True that Barrera's reasons were valid, but the thing is that Barrera wasn't that eager to have rematch with Manny, while Manny sought the rematch with Morales as soon as possible. And that's the big difference. The only way to know if Barrera's reason's are really valid is to have a rematch after that we can't really call it.
I got nothing against Morales he fought like a warrior, till the end. Morales is one bad mudafuka, lesser fighter would've been out by the seventh round the latest. Congrats to Manny! Ju da mang, mang!!!
Hell yeah!

I don't consider it as an excuse its reality, EM deserves much respect specially from us PAC FANS giving our boy a good fight, I believe that PAC can take EM out at the later rounds on the grounds that EM looked so thin, he drained himself to be at that weight, and will be vulnerable as the fight goes along specially if PAC could hit him enough Erik will crumble ...
Mi Amigo just one question if EM can't or having hard time to make weight at 130 and can't really go up in weight at 135, what should be Eriks next move be ??? a rematch with Raheem at 135, a match with JMM at 130 ???

I think that Morales was being honest when he said that makind 130 was hard for him. At the end of the day, Morales was his worst enemy, and manny capatilized. Morales can make the weight but his body doesnt want it.
does the gloves have somethin to do why Morales got TKOed and dropped 2 times? Or did Pac suddenly become stronger? LOL!!!
also, i dont remember how much i owed you from the morales being dropped bet, but heres the last of my points...600 milly. enjoy.
I'm suggesting that Pac fans can't have it both ways. They can't claim the gloves were a big issue and use it as an excuse and then not mention these facts with Pac's win tonight. They can't have the best of both worlds is all I'm saying.
So they have to either discredit both, or credit both... none of this in the middle bull shit.
OK, I'll stop talking about the gloves issue and just say Manny kicked Morales ass tonight, plain and simple. :D

pac beat him straight up...gloves or no gloves morales just didn't deserve to be in there with pac tonight. pac was clearly the fresher, more hungry fighter and he won in spectacular fashion.
yes...
i know it sounds very weak to say that and in some way it seems like saying that diminishes pacs win, but erik IS clearly past his best days.
manny pacquiao beat an all-time great fighter tonight, and one who gave him a tough fight before going out...but he (erik) didn't even deserve to be in the same ring as pac tonight.
nonetheless no excuses need apply...its a great win for pac and im happy that his fans have something to cheer about because pac is a great fighter for the sport of boxing.

So you're saying that Manny beat a declining Morales tonight?
