Has any fight been this hyped?

[m00ks]

hell ya this fight is hyped more then dlh-hopkins

imagine goin to the fight and the weigh in
the atmosphere at tha weigh in must be great f0r that fight

i remember goin to the morales barrera III weigh in n the atmosphere was crazy

just imagine this fight

I don't think the press conference would have bad blood. Both fighters respect each other but I do agree that it'll will have a tremendous atmosphere.

One thing is sure . . . we need to have a clear winner here without any doubt no controversy [IMG]http://img.***********.com/albums/v638/pso_junior/happy.gif[/IMG]
or the howling, the growling and the bitching will never end.

i think this fight has alot to do with the pride of the mexican people. pac-man, i hate to say beat barerra and that was a mexican hero. so this is like redemption for us. alot of people arent giving morales a shot, but i think they will be suprised. i dont know maybe that is my biased opinion. but i have seen em fight many times to know that he can keep throwing punches for twelve rounds without showing any sign of getting tired. manny seemed to get tired in the fight with marquez. he hit jmm with the same punches that he hit him with in the first round but they didnt have the same effect on them cause he didnt have much behind him. i think marquez also showed that manny can be timed and countered easily. if morales can take manny's power in the early rounds then i think he will take manny into deep waters and out point him.

Bro, clear winner or not, controversial or not, it would not be the end. Believe me, it'll be the start of another round of MORE howling, MORE growling, MORE bitching, MORE "I told you's" from the outside protagonists - the Pinoy and Mexican fans!!!

And yes, I almost forgot. MAB and JMM are eagerly waiting at the wings. That's more reason why this hype will never die down!!!!! Oh, brother indeed!!!

Good post Bro., finally a good arguement from the other side. True this involves pride reason why a lot of your paisano's are taking it personally against Pac fans which should not be the case . . . this is just a sport and a matter of supporting your country's sports hero. nothing more. Win or lose on this encounter both fighters moves on.

As to Pac's performance against JMM . . . he did not tire out . . . is just being burdened by his injuries. And if JMM was able to show that Pac can be countered it is because JMM is a very awesome counter puncher. Both Mab and Eric cannot counter punch like JMM does. This is also the reason why a lot of Pac fans believe that JMM is more dangerous opponent for Pac than MAB and Eric . . . and this include Roach.

its cause theres never been a asian fighter before

[THRILLAinmanila]

Has any other fight on BoxingScene been as hyped as Morales/Pacquiao? I can't remember one since I've been here or been viewing the forums. DLH/Hopkins was kind of hyped up but not on this scale where straight bets and nationality are such a large part of the whole scene. I think it probably just has to do with the growing number of people at this site. Holla back.

OG I think its also because there hasn't been a great Asian fighter since Flash Elorde in the 60s who's had this much of an international appeal and following. Win or lose Pac's legend will only grow after this fight. And so will Erik's.

See I can't wait for that. I know it's gonna suck if Pac wins and I have to shell out all my dough and suffer through the severe personal anguish of seeing my fighter lose and all of the Pac lovers flip out like Pac's superman...

But if and when Morales wins I'm gonna be all:





It will be a thing of beauty. And Morales looks hard as ****in nails in some of these fight posters I'm seeing so I know he's gonna come in ready to **** some **** up.

The pay-up will be the easy part . The posts coming from the Pinoys in the days after the fight will be very excruciating
