Just a little. But JMM did rock PacMan for at least 8 rounds.
And don't put much importance on Pac bringing his hands up to says he's fine, for that very expression shows that he was, indeed, really hurt.
Or it could mean he was just stunned Cuz he went right after Marquez and the latter inteligently backed off. He counterpunched impressively for 8 rounds yeah, I had it 8-4. Pac winning due to the 3 KDs giving him a 10-6 round.
You basically almost touched on it there, because of stylistic reasons, Morales has a greater assortment of punches than marquez. And if they land they land with more power.
Nah man just cuz your leading doesn't mean that you have a greater assortment of punches in your repertoire. JMM would counter you with every punch in the book, which is also hella harder cuz he's working with a much much smaller time frame when your countering as opposed to when your initiating the combinations. IF they land yes, Morales' punches would have more power, but it's as much a question of style as physical capabilities. Morales IS stronger.
Well it's debatable to see who has a more complete set of arsenal, personally I'd like to see these two in the ring too bad we'll never see it.
I am betting: that you are awaiting this fight more than anyone on earth Mooks.
You are a walking promotion for this fight; rightfully so.
I do not want to forget that it will air.
You have no idea. This is a dream match up for me even if my boy looses, I always regarded Morales as the "ultimate test" if you will. So last year when Pac drawed JMM and Morales signed the fight vs MAB I was really disappointed cuz I thought this fight would have never materialiazed. **** Arum and Murad, heck I should be promoting this fight

haha. I know.
you have broke this fight, Morales, and Pacman down several times.

I might add:
it is a very interesting topic.
I've studied, analyzed, argued, pondered, dreamt,...-every single verb you can possibly do before a big fight I've done. There's just so many variables and factors to take into consideration, I just can't wait to see how everything unfolds. Best part is in 12 DAYS! Ah man it's gonna be the longest week and half ....
is Pacman storming out and shocking everyone like he did against JMM. Entering that fight, everyone knew that Pac could punch. It was shocking to me, and my friends whom I was watching the fight with..that he dominated in the early rounds like he did.
I am not doubting Morales, considering I am giving him the edge in this fight. On the other hand,
How will he weather a storm by Pacman. If he gets dropped...

The punches Pac hit Marquez with WONT floor Morales...especially in the early parts of the fight. Later on, it'll be a different story. I think Manny will have to hit Erik with many punches and the left cross multiple times to put him down. Erik has the best chin 130 and under. He's never really been down and has never been critically hurt...all while eating some flat out bombs. If he is dropped he will get up, unless he's just flattened by some perfect punch. Erik ain't no ho...he's a beast.

He ain't gonna bumrush Morales. You can't take out Morales that early. No WAY! Roach and Manny knows that and thast why their fight plan is for a full 12 rounds
A couple of theories why he exploded against JMM. Here's mine: To be honest, I don't think you try to take out a 2-belt champion in the 1st round. What I DID see is Marquez landing a straight right down the pipe that Pac probably felt. Right after that he unleashes the power left to give back as good as he took...except Marquez went down. So he tries to take him out off teh first round, landing consistantly with the straight left and just kept dropping Marquez. His instincts took over and he TRIED to make it a short night.
Another theory from a poster (I forget who) is that Roach knew that Marquez has teh best style against Manny and the plan was to take him out early.
Morales would get up easy. But one thing I'll tell you, if ever he gets dropped. He'll throw away the fight plan and will unload. Then you see a war. Pac needs controlled agression, Morales has the tools to take him out should he come in too carelessly. Morales can wheather the strom if he keeps Pac at range but if Pac gets inside, his faster fists would mash up Morales' face like turkey stuffing.

So you do not think Roach/Pac have been working on a similar tactic to get Morales out of there quickly...
because if he does not, knowing what we learned from the JMM fight, he could give Morales the chance to dictate the fight with his Jab and uppercut....the 2 things I feel Pac should fear.
