    Erik Won’t Take Manny Lightly

    Former triple world champion Erik Morales, who’s altitude training for a high octane war against Manny Pacquiao says he’s relishing the challenge and he’ll emerge victorious from a classic.

    Erik is again basing himself at the Otomi Center and will only go to sea level in Las Vegas a few days before the much anticipated March 19th clash of the slender titans.

    Former WBC Light Flyweight champ Jorge Arce who’s also at the Otomi and will be on the undercard, is has a clear cut view of who’s going to win.

    He said: “Erik is naturally bigger, heavier, hits harder and has a much wider variety of shots than Manny who relies too much on his big left hand. Almost always in boxing the good bigger guy beats the good littler guy. So I’m confident Erik will be victorious.”

    Venezuelan featherweight Alirio Rivero who’s one of Erik’s principal sparring partners explains: “Erik is such a complete fighter, with whole array of punches. He can attack but he can also box. While Manny really only has that straight left hand, which is dangerous but can be avoided, as Juan Manuel Marquez showed us, when he started to use his boxing brain after that first round near disaster.” [details]

    If Erik bases his training on the fact that Manny only has a straight left, he might be in for a suprising night.
