Erik Morales, David Diaz Ready For War

[kadyo's]

One thing I'm sure of is that pac haters will never like an eric win LOL! An eric win will make them eat their words that eric lost to pac because he's already shot. Wow, hope eric lose again so that they can come out saying, "see, i told you so"

after morales' performance against raheem at 135lbs i aint sure how morales will fight at this weight, i havent seen much of diaz if im honest so i dont know how good he really is???

Diaz is a really rugged fighter. He's a southpaw fighting out of Chicago. He's nothing special in terms of boxing skill, but he's a pressure fighter and he's really strong especially at 135. He used to campaign at 140 for a while and he only dropped down to 35 just to fight for a title. I have no doubt that he's even stronger at lightweight.

Being that Morales has the better skill set, he can definitely outbox Diaz to take the title. However, when has Morales EVER just stuck to his boxing skills and not engaged in a brawl? That's where his mistake will come. It's not that he can't, we all know that he can indeed brawl. But, that is exactly Diaz's gameplan, to lure Morales into a brawl. Diaz will overpower Morales with his determination and sheer strength, and possibly stop him late if this fight turns into a brawl.

thaks for the analysis and summary of diaz, should be an interesting fight, it will be interesting to see if morales has one great fight left in him???

I would like to see El Terrible go out on top. I know this may be a weak title, buit I hope he goes out with a win and a title. Because thats what he is and thats a champion. He has given us some great fights over the years and it would be fitting if he ended his career on a good note. Even though I love to watch him fight I hope this is his last fight, just for the sake of his own health.

The article says that Morales wants to become Mexico's first four division champ , too late De La hoya already beat you to it. Whether Mexico accepts him or not he was made a mexican citizen a couple years ago , so that makes him as much Mexican as Morales.

DLH is Chicano, there's a big difference.

Really? I didn't know this.

Is he a Puerto Rico citizen also?
