    Or during the last round of the first Morales fight....j/k. Erik went loco, switched and got rocked a number of times. It was a ****** move but it showed how he's got warrior cojones...lol.

        I find that odd because David's mostly a pressure fighter. I highly doubt he'll do a JMM number on Pac but he could try. If anything, this could be a showcase for Pac's own counter punching skills and movement. I expect the jab and the right hook to play a major role in this fight. He'll test the waters in the opening rounds unless David jumps him and forces him to engage early in which case we'll start seeing the footwork and foot speed come into play.

        He's gonna go in firing his speedy combinations and out quickly to evade David's response, or go side-to-side, preferably to David's right. If he feels he can take the lightweight's punch, then he's gonna press more. To me, quickness more than speed is the key, but both are vital. If he comes in the ring just a few shades heavier than in his last fight (144 lbs or thereabouts), then I don't see a major hit in quickness and speed. KO power is just a bonus, and I hope he carries it with him at 135. He should be stronger because of less effort to drain himself. Otherwise, it's gonna be Pac by UD.

          What are you talking about, Barrera scored a KD in 2003.

            The guy's on top of the situation; David is simply one of the roadblocks (definitely a huge one), but Pacman will do his best for this fight (he's "Pacman" for all the right reasons), otherwise he gets to choose another nickname.

                  I was referring to instances in which a punch lands on Pacquiao and he goes down, not when he lands a punch on someone and the ref rules that since he trips that we're making it a 10-8 round.
