Morales WINS

[tracylee]

I'm pissed that I had to miss it now...that Arce-Hussein fight sounds like it was a slugfest.

It was, and the best part is Arce came damn close to knocking him out in the first round! Hussein put up one hell of a comback, but his corner threw in the towel late..that pissed him off very much!!!
Anyway, do you want a copy of the entire card OG?

That would be sweet. How much? I could trade you the Morales/Barrera III - Taylor/Joppy card in addition to paying you. You name it

on the Vargas undercard but they wont show any of the co-events, and they Hussein-Arce fight was great too!

Hussein - Arce fight was a great worth the $45. Although my fighter didn't win.

Wtf is wrong with you. Your saying this should teach him a lesson and you faulting Manny for not producing a KD. You shouldn't blame Manny for nothing. The kid showed heart, trained hard, gave it his all and that should be enough for his fans.

Nope. I'm not faulting Manny for not producing a KD. But I'm looking at the tough training regimen of Morales and Marquez. I don't believe Manny has considered the advantage of that. Even Barerra did that rigorous training before he fought Erik.

I know its a lot of work. For sure only the most diehard fan would have seen Manny training, if he's in the mountain. But I think Manny can be stronger if he makes the same sacrifice.

Of course, he gave us a good fight. And I admire him for that. But I know he'll be fighting some more. And he needs to fight the best to show he's the best. So he needs a spartan no-nonsense training to be able to stay at the top.

I wont go so far as to say Erik can and would beat Chico, but I damn sure will not say he cant! Other than amazing power (the same thing Manny had to offer) what does Chico bring? Not a whole hell of alot, and I dont think Erik would get ko'ed by him either. It could go the same way it did with Manny..him not getting knocked out, and the outpointing Corrales. It could happen...I just wont automatically count him out, thats all.

Not sure if you saw Chico and Freitas, but Chico showed an amazing level of maturity in that fight. He was patient, waited for his shots, all the while constantly keeping pressure on Acelino to keep him moving and expending energy, yet at the same time he was conserving it himself. Goosen has really turned him around. He's gone from a one dimensional slugger, who would stand in front of an opponent until either he or they fell, to a boxer/puncher who thinks his way through a fight.

Anyway, I wouldn't count Morales out against Chico either, but I really do think he'd have a better shot against Mayweather than against Chico. Two years ago, I'd have picked Erik in a heartbeat, but I'd have serious reservations about it now. I'd actually like to see Chico matched against Mayweather again, just to see how he compares now. It could surprise everybody.
