Former triple world champion Erik Morales has celebrated his twenty ninth birthday in spectacular hard working style in the gritty Pancho Rosales gym in Mexico City.
Erik who fights Zahir Raheem at the Staples Center in LA on September 10th, has been conditioning himself for almost two months at the Otomi High Altitude Training Center perched in the mountains above Toluca.
As Erik did pads with veteran trainer Al Stankie, *******ly walloping the Professor’s well protected leather padded ribcage with some wicked scimitar like hooks, a guard of honor of the San Miguel Mariachi Band INSIDE the ring, played and sang their hearts out!
Al who’s weaving padded left hand, sometimes resembles a New York traffic cop gone bananas, said: “Erik is in absolutely fantastic shape. Every day, we’ve been running for an hour and a half at ten thousand five hundred feet above sea level. Erik knows the importance of winning this fight.
“The Otomi to me is the ultimate of fighting preparation locations. There’s nothing to do up there apart from getting in fantastic shape. There’s no girls like in Los Angeles, there’s just the trainers, fighters and managers. [details]
