The train might have slowed down, but it’s going to keep on rolling.
In late June, BoxingScene photographer Paul Gallegos and I went down to Tijuana to do an interview with Erik Morales for KO Magazine. We met up with him at a Mexican Restaurant called Los Arcos. Erik was jovial, hospitable, and eager to share his opinions on a wide range of topics, which included comments about everything from his desire to fight Floyd Mayweather to his place in Mexican boxing history.
On that June afternoon Erik looked rather heavy and I inquired about his eating habits when he’s not training and he informed me that he always tries to monitor his diet and watch his weight, which is the recommended course of action for a fighter who’s 5’8 and fights at 130-pounds.
But Erik’s statements in regard to his diet seemed to be in direct contrast to his behavior that day. Erik was eating Mexican food and drinking beer during the course of the entire interview. At the time, he didn’t have a fight scheduled so I thought he was just taking some time off to try to rest and re-energize. [details]
