Pacmans Weight

[BBFM]

good guess reno, I really thought pacman would give up or get knocked out. dude weather you agree or not he was dominated and would be agian morales loves the exchanges and took them but the body shots could of changed the story pacman is a slugger not a boxer his style is come at you in your face he should really change his style and try some new things.

Both guys can hurt eachother, just not enough to knock the other out with one shot. They both ate plenty of big punches and kept coming. Morales as I stated in my fight prediction, was the stronger fighter.

You're right, Morales was the stronger fighter, which is WHY the weight had an effect, he is a more natural 130 pounder, it was his 4th or 4th fight at 130 & he shoulda been there a few years ago but the $ for the rivalry with Barrera was too big... Pacquaio shoulda stayed at flyweight

I actually thought when I read he weighted in 1 lb, less than Morales that he had lost already. I knew he needs his speed. Heck, Marco, nearly gave the fight away and he had the best chance by being nearly 10lbs less than Morales and able to be faster than him. I thought Manny would totally stick to coming in around 132-133lbs. 139lbs was a bad idea, so I don't know.

No doubt about it that both fighters are almost even, but I don't think the strenght of Morales came naturally.

Morales did a lot of sacrifice in his training while hiding on top of a mountain. Erik was more serious in his preparation. And I believe it paid back. What he missed out in his preparation against Barerra, Erik made sure he gonna double the pain so he can beat Pacman.

And Pacman was nowhere serious compared to Morales. I thought he was too relaxed. Pac just love being photographed and signing autographed. Morales could have been laughing at that time. I bet Pac couldn't imagine the tough changes that Morales, Barerra and company were putting up to improve their level. And I also think Morales made the same mistake against MAB.

His 4th fight, but Barrera beat him at the weight and Marco is the weaker of all three fighters. Marco said prior to the fight that he was out of his league fighting at 130 pounds since his natural weight is 126. People thought Morales was going to kill Barrera, I was one of the few people to pick Barrera to win that fight because I knew Erik was going to take lightly, Marco was going to steup it up and Erik would beef up to over power him. Styles make fights and Erik's style and body dimensions are too tough for Pacquiao to overcome.

No way Pac is out of Eriks league. I thought it was a good fight. There were people around me in the arena who were Morales fans who did not know who took the fight. It was a damn close fight. I thought Morales won because he was the stronger man. But I think anything can happen in a rematch between the two. I hope it happens. Manny deserves a second chance for the display of courage and heart he put on. Hopefully Morales does not deny him the opportunity for redemtion. All in all it was a good fight. Cong**** to Morales, he was the better fighter that night. Don't let it fool you though Pac is capable of winning a rematch and I hope it happens.

Pedro Fernandez of Ringtalk.com thinks Pacman won the fight and Larry Merchant thinks its a draw. I think almost all Pacfans were anticipating a knockdown at least. So when that didn't happen, automatically they accepted the defeat. Without the dramatic bloody cut over the eye, I think the score would have been closer and questionable.

The more I watch the fight, the less close it becomes. Morales won and teh fight wasn't that close. Manny P just kept attacking that's why it looked close. Skillswise, my boy got outclassed.
