EM Mentions best shape of his life before fight

Alibata20y ago

If EM mentions he was in the best shape of his life before the figt I believe him. This is the reason why I was scared for the first 5 rounds. I think the acumulation of body and head shots really wore down the best shape EM has ever been in. I also believe that if Pacman fought Raheem in this condition he would have worked him, maybe even a knock out. The last figt with EM and morales from what I saw was never a war. Neither of the two fighter showed any damages to face or the body. Stop making excuses that Morales is past his prim. Why was Barrera so called past his prim when Pacman demolished him in the first fight? When Barrera came back to win his fight again EM he was to longer past his PRIM. I guess PACMAN just puts everyone past there prime. If you want to fight Pacman be prepaired to be past your prime.

mannys constant body attack is what broke el terrible down. He may have a hard time making 130 but i do believe he was in very good shape for the shape. Pac was the better man exactly. mannys body attacks is what won this fight in my opinion, he was rippin morales to the body and it all eventually took its toll on him, i mean if you look at rounds 9 and 10 before he KO's morales, manny hits morales to the body a couple of times and morales just drops his hands, you see that morales aint even got his gloves up, hes just too hurt.

lol ok future world champ lol we'll see... he won't be a future world Champ and I never said he would but he is a great technical fighter.
