Morales picks Paquiao over Larios

He claimed he was far ahead on points at the end of round 5 but started to really get tired in round 6. What's funny was that round six (outside of the round he stopped Morales in) was the most dominating round either of them had in the two fights. Manny turned it up in that round and pummeled Morales for 3 whole minutes. I like Morales, but man up and admit you lost.

if morales didn't switch to southpaw, it would have been a very borring round, pacquiao was ruled, then morales allowed himself to be hit, why? morales has said he wants to make fights exciting and keep people guessing who is going to win. If EM switch to southpaw, then thats his fault. Maybe EM knew that the Winning gloves will not hurt him. EM turned southpaw against Raheem in a losing battle but against MP/Reyes gloves in the rematch, he never did. Why? The gloves made a diffirence. I am not saying that MP wearing a Reyes gloves would KO EM, EM has a strong chin, it would take a lot of punches to the head before he goes down. But MP/Reyes gloves made a diffirence. Look at round 2, if EM did not hold the ropes, it would have been a knockdown, also EM's reaction to it afterward, he has to compose himself, which means it hurt him. And round 6, EM was about to go down but backed up into the referre. If EM wants to turn southpaw to make the fight exciting, he should think about it because next time, it might result in a KO.

Pacman's recent record against mexicans: 2-1-1. I wouldn't call that an assassin. Mira Lucero Barrera Maquez Velasquez Morales Its 5-1-1 If u mean elite fighters then its 2-1-1

I wish more fighters were honest like Ricky Hatton and admit they were hurt. Hell, I got hurt just looking at Morales' battered nose. If anything they don't come more honest than Morales. He has no problem speaking his mind. And he sugarcoats nothing.

1 bil points on Pac to beat Larios? Man up or shut up. :D i have all my points tied up with juarez v. barrera and winky v. taylor, so come saturday after i collect on juarez v. barrera, you got a deal!

I guess PacMan wasn't ready also when he lost to Morales in their first fight. MP has the legal battle against Murad and he has to wear Winning gloves, and the cut made it worst. But MP still gave it all, even though it was a UD of 115-113 for Morales. If MP wore Reyes gloves, he could have knock Morales down in that 11th or 12th round, making the score 114-114. But MP lost. As far as EM not being ready, he came in at 135 pounds against Raheem and still lost. And saying he did not train well in the rematch against PacMan, well its his fault. But MP beat him fair and square. I have higher respect of EM than MAB, but stop making excuses. if morales didn't switch to southpaw, it would have been a very borring round, pacquiao was ruled, then morales allowed himself to be hit, why? morales has said he wants to make fights exciting and keep people guessing who is going to win.

im surprised morales said this about larios, but then again, morales wants his revenge not left overs. and i see larios pulling a huge upset. and how about a translation to the video? 1 bil points on Pac to beat Larios? Man up or shut up. :D

I'm pretty sure Pacquiao is the Mexican assassin and that Larios is Mexican so Pacquiao by KO, duh clear as water to me.

Well, atleast Pacquiao's 10th round TKO in January didn't damage his mental clarity and thought process.

Know whats the best move Morales can do right now?I think he needs to waive his fight in November with Manny.Then he can get a tune-up himself to get his confidence going. That will pave the way for PAC-BARRERA 2.And after PAC destroys Barrera again, MORALES-PAC 3 can happen in March or April, but this time for the legit WBC belt!

definetly going to wait for the third fight ... Erik looks BIG, but big in a good way .... look at this video interview i got from pacland .... http://www.youtube.com/v/NFhHh-rSR0Q

you think playa...it simply sets up the III between the two...a belt and bragginng rights is better than just bragging rights....Morrales want his belts back......As he should, yes, he should want his belt back. But it's only an "International" belt that's going to be at stake--something some posters here call "glorified contender" status.

Erik Morales says his compatriot, Oscar Larios, does not have enough of what it takes to beat Manny Pacquiao, adding, that Larios' only chance is if Pacquiao climbs the ring on fight night out of shape. Morales said, Larios is not in Paquiao's class. In an interview with Dyan Castillejo in San Diego, CA, where Morales currently resides, Morales also asserted that it was not Pacquiao's punches that beat him. He said, he beat himself as he was not quite ready during their second meeting. He said., Pacquiao's punches were much stronger during their first encounter and that he was never really bothered by the Filipino's punches in the first five rounds of their second meeting. He claimed he was far ahead on points at the end of round 5 but started to really get tired in round 6. Morales said he looks forward to their third encounter, promising likewise to give Pacquiao one good drubbing thereby putting finis to Pacquiao's fame, which, he said, only came about as a result of how their last fight ended.

I really hope Morales pulls out the victory in their third meeting.I know that is reaching.But what can I say?Im a Morales fan,an upset win over Pacquaio in their third fight would be huge for his career.I refuse to beleive that Erik is done just yet.
