Does any one remember how it was like when Zahir Raheem beat Erik Morales?

[Chups]

I was there and thought it was close. I thought Morales should have won........but then again I was talking to a nice chick while the fight was going on so you could say I had a half attention.

I remember the look on Pac's face live on HBO when he and his team were watching it on a the TV feed. He looked like he had just seen a ghost, watching Raheem totally destroy the fighter he just got schooled by in a clinic. It was hilarious!

Raheem totally destroyed Morales?Lol...As far as I can remember...Zahir was running almost the whole fight..his punches never hurt Erik.

I can jus imagine if Zahir fought PBF...It would probably rank as one of the most boring fights of all time...two potshotting runners...lol

Raheem didnt run, I doubt you saw the fight.

Did you see the fight? It was a boring run fest!Zahir was potshotting and running on his bicycle. Morales even fought one handed at one point, purposely putting his left hand down and still knocked Raheem using only his one hand. (though it wasnt counted by the ref but Zahirs gloves touched the canvass)

Yes, granted, Zahir took it on points, but he did it against an overweight, undertrained Morales and in the most boring fashion ever. He won the fight...but he never won any fans with his style.

Not only did I watch the fight but I have it on tape and he skunked EM. Who cares about how boring it was? What, because he didnt fight like a Mexican, that means that he ran? He didnt run, he boxed EM's ear's off. Just because he didnt trade doesnt make him a runner. People always say that Floyd & Sweet Pea are boring but all they do is rack up the victories. I could care less about people saying a guy is boring. Everyone is so biased against pure boxers nowdays, like they have to fight one way.

Exactly, They hate on MMA for being too brute, yet hate on pure boxers who execute the sweet science that is supposed to make Boxing superior.

Hypocrites!

Raheem smoked his ass, end of story. It was clear Morales was washed up and should have retired after that fight, or just fight B level fighters... wait, he couldn't even beat Diaz, LOL. Now that I think of it, Pac was the ONLY fighter he was able to beat at the end of his career.

Everyone knew that Morales was finished at that point in his career, everyone thought Morales should hang up the gloves... well, except Roach and Arum, LOL, and after Pac beat Raheem's leftovers, Pac moved up to p4p2. Pac got so much hype for beating a shot fighter Roach decided to make it a trilogy.

The *******s said, "Morales had a bad night, he was prime in Morales vs Pac 1, shot in Raheem vs Morales, and then super-prime for Morales vs Pac 2.

hahaha Oh yeah I remember that now, it was pretty funny seeing manny's face as Morales was getting owned. classic :lmfao:

[Eaner0919]

Didn't Morales go up in weight to fight Raheem? It was a bad choice for Morales and I give all the credit in the world to him for beating him.

Every great fighter has that one guy....

no the contracted weight was 130 but it was Morales who asked to move it to 135 because two weeks (as I was told from an inside source) that he was looking ****ty and was way past what he should have been weight wise

[MANGLER]

I had only seen raheem against Juarez before that. It was a good fight where 1 of the most disgustingly biased refs I've ever seen robbed him. I thought he was a damn good fighter and knew from the start he was gonna school EM at 135. I was kinda upset, but I saw it comin. I figured after that Raheem had big things in front of him and LW should be on notice, but he stunk up the house vs Freitas and ain't done **** since. He beat EM up but never really hurt him, so I thought EM was just fine goin into the Pac rematch.

Raheem didnt run, I doubt you saw the fight.

He didn't.

I really do think you are way too biased against pacquiao to make an intelligent argument involving him in any way. Morales clearly looked better in the rematch with pac than he did in the raheem fight. He prolly just under trained and slept on raheem. Morales was pac's first fight at 130 as well, raheem brings no fans, small $$$, nothing, there would be no sense in jumping up yet another division and fighting raheem rather than taking a much bigger $$$ fight with morales and proving himself against him. but my argument prolly dont mean **** to you b/c i see you're pretty set in your ways.
