Over 10.5 rounds for this fight is a slight favor at this moment. However my feeling is it should be a great favorite, possibly 2 to 1. They are both first class fighters looking to set a statement. I have a feeling that this fight will be similiar to the the Marquez fight. Even if Pacquaiao is able to get Morales down early, Morales will definetly finish the fight just like Marquez. When Pacquiao was down in the first round in his Barrera fight, he was able to rebound and win.
However you can't outrule Pacquaiao's record of 31 knockouts in 39 fights compared to Morales's record of 34 in 47 fights. 7 of the last 10 Morales fights have gone the distance, and he lost 2 of those. 8 of the last 10 fights of Paquaiao's have ended up in KO's and he hasn't lost a fight in a while. He is 5'6 and his reach is 67. Erik Morales is 5'8 and his reach is 72. There is no significant age difference between the fighter.
I have a feeling that Pacquiaio will come out strong while Morales will finish up strong. However my prediction is that this fight will go to the decesion and Pacquiao will be awarded the win. I highly doubt that we will see a knockout in this fight.
