I for one am not. Man, I love Morales. He's one of my all time favorites, but I just don't think he's capable of it at this point in his life. He's seen too much action, been in too many tough fights. Garcia is young, undefeated guy and his confidence has to be through the roof with his recent victories and the slew of belts won. I just don't see Morales beating him as much as I wish he could. What do you guys think? Can anyone give me a little hope for "El Terrible"?
He has a chance, he fought the first fight after having his gall blader out, that could be why he missed weight.
We will see if he has one good fight in him, he already said if he loses, he will retire.
Should be a good fight either way, Morales always makes good fights.
Well at least this fight is not in Texas .... It was open scoring. The scores in that first fight were atrocious! Morales had to open up when he heard that he was losing big.
Lets hope Morales trains properly for this fight and comes in shape.
I more or less agree with everything you just said. What do you think the odds are Morales a little something left tho?
Morales has a great shot if he gets into proper shape.....its not even about the punishment he's taken up to here...he can still win this, but it's been years since his comeback and he still has to get into proper shape for at least 1 fight
I give Morales a shot,tbh before the KD in their first fight I had Morales up...I don't know why people act as if the first fight was not competitive...I like this fight for Garcia..Get some exposure on the east coast and give the old man one last shot at glory...
I agree with most morales is far mroe technically sound than garcia, but he is on the down side of his career. If he can keep energy up and fight the fight on his terms, he has a decent shot of winning
I like Morales but he needs to stop, I agree that Garcia is not that good but at this point he is good enough and young and strong enough to KO Morales, his confidence has to be huge right now, its not like the 1st fight when he seemed tentitive at times since it was his biggest fight. Morales age is showing, he looks to soft and he really shouldnt be fighting at this point, he was a great warrior I loved watching his wars with Barrera and his fights with Pac, but enough is enough, I think his last hurrah was the fight with Maidana, Morales does not have enough in the tank to beat Garcia right now.
Im still backing morales up this time just like the first time.. but when i saw the weight in last time, he just looked in bad condition.. morales has the skills to protect himself and imposed his strategy. if he's in the best shape of his life at this point, I give him a great shot..
hopefully, khan would also fight him.. or marquez..
Tough: yes
Determined: i'm going to level here, I did not like his body language in the Khan fight PRIOR to left hook landing. read into it what you will.
I see that being more down to concern with the cut than the way the fight was going. When you are cut bad no matter how determined you are the ref can step in and stop the fight.
Tough: yes
Determined: i'm going to level here, I did not like his body language in the Khan fight PRIOR to left hook landing. read into it what you will.
Hits very hard: Prescott took Khan out with 3 punches. Garcia landed about 80, flush power shots after the left hook and Khan was stopped on his feet. He's got pop, but he's not the second coming of a guy called Julian Jackson
what did his body language tell you in the Khan fight?
I was shocked when Garcia knocked Khan out, but I think it had more to do with the placement of that neck shot than raw punching power.
Morales is a far better boxer but Garcia has 3 things going for him,he is tough,determined and hits very hard. Morales is no spring chicken has the tools to beat him but Garcia seems to know how to win.
Absoloutely he is in with a chance of winning this, Garcia just isn't that good at all and Morales gave him hell last time! This time Morales takes him to school
Yes. if he can get back to 50% of what he was then he wins easily.
just depends if there's even some fumes left in the tank.
Garcia ain't that good.
I more or less agree with everything you just said. What do you think the odds are Morales a little something left tho?
"El Terrible" by far my favorite Mexican Warrior...is definitely an up hill battle for him
if this was a prime Morales I'll bet my house on this fight taking Morales over Garcia, I still pick Morales to win but I'm just betting the dog... War Terrible!!!
