Hello.

I've noticed the hot topic this week, of course, is Morales/Pacquiao.

Gotta say, that fight was awesome. No matter where you're from, Mexico or the Philippines (where I'm from), that was one of the best fights I've seen in a long time. Arce/Hussien was more intense, IMO.

But going into the fight, I had a feeling Pacman's inability to tie up a fighter (like in the JMM match) and his awkward style of skipping away from his opponent looks rather ameteurish. JMM won that fight because he took the fight to Pacman. Pac doesn't fight going backwards and will keep going back until the fighter stops persuing. That's what happened with Morales. Morales would let Pac do his combo, and Morales would retaliate with a much more determined assualt.

Pacman needs to learn inside fighting, needs to learn how to tie up his opponent from retaliating (but please, NOT LIKE JOHN RUIZ!) and smother his punches. Basically, he needs to add a new dimension, as many of you have stated countless times I've read. Yeah, I've been lurking.

I had money on Morales to win, BTW. I had my doubts about Manny in this fight. Sorry, to my fellow Filipinos. But you gotta admit, Pacman needs to learn a few more tricks. This ain't a street fight.

Welcome to Boxingscene. Smart money was on Morales and it sounds like you made the right decision.

It was a friendly wager with my sister-in-law's co-workers who are from Mexico. They bet that Morales would KO Pacman and I bet it would be a UD. I made $5. Like I said, it was a friendly bet.

Regarding the Pacman fans, I was bit embarrassed by a lot of them right after the Barrera fight (yep, been lurking a long time here). Some of you guys took it waaaay too far. It kept me from posting here coz I didn't want to be lumped with those who were ravenous Pac fans.

I'm a boxing fan first and foremost. Boxing is an individual sport and not a country vs country sport. Yeah, there were the Mexico vs Puerto Rico rivalry but it wasn't as bad as they way some of my fellow Filipinos were behaving. But anyway, Erik served us some extremely sour Humble Pie and we have to eat it.
