Funny thing about this "Mexico dominates boxing" shit is that they don't put into perspective the geographical size and location of Mexico. Hell, any country that as big as Mexico and as close to the United States would produce a significant amount of world champions.
And I don't even know how this Puerto Rico vs. Mexico rivalry shit exist because if you switch the size of the countries and the geographical location, then there wouldn't be any rivalry. Every Puerto Rican fighter would make every Mexican fighter eat their own shit. And I don't see a lot of Puerto Ricans being that arrogant about their fighters(except for iWatch, hehe).
If Mexico were located in the Philippines(and as the same size), then they'd be lucky to snag a flyweight world title. At least, the Philippines have produced a couple of world champions: "The Great" Flash Elorde, Luisito Espinosa, Pancho Villa, etc. and a lot of up and coming young exciting fighters like Brian Viloria, Rey Bautista, Rodel Mayol, etc. So shut the fuck up, just because you only know one Filipino fighter in Manny Pacquiao doesn't mean he's the only one we have.
A lot of Mexican biased idiots on this board. Just remember, size and location is the key.
Great analogy, and that's why they are avoiding your good point and diverted the topic.
I can't see it.
Morales isn't getting KO'd by anyone near his weight class. His jaw's granite.
That granite chin is a myth. But I do agree Morales is tough and a smart fighter. He has good defense and that's why he prefers using Winning gloves as his shield and is not really meant to protect his hands.
We'll see if he'll be really using Cleto Reyes gloves this time coz I doubt it. No problem proven wrong.
I also believe would lose a lot if he losses this fight. Lucky for him he already has a rematch clause in their contract in case he suffers a defeat. I don't know if that would attract more attention but I think the way he would lose in this fight would matter.
PAC-MAB fight was boring.
It wasn't exciting seeing a helpless legend and future hall of famer getting pummeled and mutiliated all-night by a an obscure, unrespected, one-dimensional boxer from the tiny islands of the Philippines. ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzz...that was boring. :D
Whoever said the Pacquiao-Barrera match is boring is just a really retarded person that needs to get some treatment. That fight really got me into boxing because before that, I didnt know shit about boxing until I saw that fight and started searching the internet for informations about present and past boxers. I didnt know that boxing can be exciting like that because everytime I watch boxing, I always end up watching boring fights. I loved the sport ever since I was a kid but lost interest and then got back to it and got more determined.
Cool down my friend. I was just joking. ;)
I saw a replay of the previous PAC-EM bout and I saw the need for him to go to the body more, more right jabs and upper cuts, wear down Morales first and not be too aggressive to make an early KO.
I'm not saying this because he had done exactly what I was hoping he would do but I'm just so happy and overwhelmed that he did KO Morales in the 10th.
Great performance PACMAN. MABUHAY KA AT ANG BUONG PILIPINAS!!
I think it's still too early to tell. Boom-Boom and the rest of the young guns need to see the example in PAC. Total dedication and discipline are a must for this kids to succeed.
Good luck to all of em!
if my counting was right, only 4 experts here who predicted/or lean on a pac victory. but none of them said it could be a ko.
this victory proved them wrong. but hey, anyone could be wrong so let's just forget about it, cheers!!
That's why I rarely believe on experts analysis unless it's clearly a mismatch. Besides, boxing is not fought on papers. :)
anyone else find it ironic that manny is training with a pair of WINNING GLOVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
now when he loses hes gonna say he was snuckered into training with out his prefered gloves
and also in the contract
he was forced to train with the pair of socks from the marquez fight
Lol
It makes sense to use Winning Gloves during training coz he doesn't need to KO those speed balls, punching bags. etc.. He will only hurt himself if he uses Cleto Reyes gloves. ;)
he's just ahtin dude, he knows MAB aint stepped up to the plate and challenge pac in any way, i though he was an assasin but he just hidin right now, no one wants to fight him, MAb's ppv dont earn money, on the other hand, everytime it's pac's fight its a hit,
Ya I know, but sometimes it becomes too annoying.
MAB ran well why didnt pacman rematch Medgoen Singsurat when he got koed in the 3rd couse he was scared??
This is a no brainer. Yes, PAC lost that fight but you have to consider what kind of situation he went through at that time. Rematch with Singsurat? Manny has a big problem making the weight and it would be stupid for him to fight again in that division. But if a rematch is to be made irregardless of their weight, I'm sure PAC would be very much willing even with their bare hands.
I bet you only know that PAC lost that bout by TKO and nothing more or you're just trying to justify the actions and non-actions of MAB after he was mutililated by Manny.
The only reason MAB is rooting for Morales is to show to everyone that the ass raping that he took back in Nov 03 was a fluke and nothing more. Simple as that.
I also believe so. And if Morales wins,he can have an alibi to avoid fighting PACMAN again.
Win or lose, PACMAN-BARRERA -II is a must.
ONE-DIMENSIONAL BOXER
With the way PACMAN manhandled Barrera, I just can't believe some people still doubt his skills. He may not be invincible but to say he's a one-dimensional fighter is totally absurd. You'll see.

The drug testing issue was merely a mind game thing for Floyd. He really doesn't want to fight the prime PAC now. If Manny is on PED then I see no reason why Floyd isn't. If PED can make a P4P best fighter then the race would have so close among many.
