Comments Thread For: Erik Morales: I've Beaten Better Fighters Than Maidana

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former three division champion Erik Morales is beyond confident of securing a victory on April 9, when he faces junior welterweight Marcos Maidana at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Morales is a very big underdog among the bookies and the experts. Most insiders are predicting a mid-fight knockout victory by Maidana. Morales doesn't see anything special about Maidana or his style of fighting. The Tijuana warrior doesn't see Maidana as being faster, or stronger, or more technical, than some of the fighters he beat in the past. [Click Here To Read More]

Yeah 50 years and 50,000 punches less taken ago. I'm hoping he can pull it out but I don't know. Maidana isn't the type to get outbox and lose lopsided fights. Khan got all he wanted before Maidana was done with him.

Maidana will probably lose a few rounds but once he lands it'll probably be lights out for Morales. But I hope Morales can shock the world! Maybe he'll have a little Hopkins in him!

Have you heard anything about his camp?

Game Set. End Match.

Now go retire Erik.

Man this fight is all wrong for Erik. Honestly though I hope he can pull it out, but I don't see it happening. If this was a young Morales then I could see it. But after all the wars he's had Morales just doesn't have enough left to pull it out IMO. Is he in financial trouble or something?

All reports say it's been great and they have a great gameplan for this fight. But then again all that ***** is gravy until he gets decked by one of Maidana's brick shots.

I don't remember Morales beating any top 140 fighter, even in his prime Maidana KO's him.

Morales in his prime was a featherweight...and he did beat some top names down there.

That's the point.

If he was just a little faster, his reactions just a little better, and his legs just a little younger, then Morales would probably be 100% correct..... he has beaten better fighters than Maidana.

But, he is underestimating what he is almost certainly going to have to deal with in order to win that fight, Maidana is tough man, I can't see how Eric can live with him at this point.
