The only reason Marquez got up is cuz he got hit with those power shots very early in the fight while he was still fresh. Had he gotten hit with those same punches late in the later rounds he would have been put to sleep. His training ultimately saved him from a 1st round ebarassment.
And he was hit goin backwards. If he got caught going in (Like EM sometimes does). he'll not get up.

Very true. Didn't even think of that. I've never seen a guy who is prone to get hit with a 1-2 as much as Morales. Tall, immobile head and a hawk nose, what more can you ask for . lol
But between Morales and Barrera, I'm for the Baby-Faced Assassin. I lost my respect for El Terrible when he threw water on the face of MAB's father when MAB tried to shake EM's hand after the fight.
i'm also a big mab fan and i have great respect for erik...but you gotta love your own...just like you guys...in a way we are all the same in this aspect. btw: i like barrera better than erik. paz.
Morales' steel chin will be his problem. Why? I'm gonna answer this using Pacquiao as an example.
Before fighting MAB, Pacquiao is considered with a "glass" chin. That he could be knocked out by jabs. Perhaps MAB also thought so. And he was dead wrong about that.
During that fight, Pacquiao unleashed every type of arsenal ranging from unpredictable right crosses (because he does not lunge it), uppercuts, hooks to the body. You name it. Pac used it.
Thus, Pac found out that he is not really "glass" chinned. In fact, he can take some flush power shots and won't even wobble. Perhaps because of his gain in weight. We don't know. But one thing's for sure. Pac forgot to use some of his arsenals because he can take JMM's flush power shots.
Now, why do you think Morales couldn't help himself out from trying to slug it out? Answer: Because he has a steel chin.
The problem though is, Morales has a steel chin under a very thin skin that gets easily bruised. Plus, his nose would be a magnet for Pac's quick power shots.

Morales is a piece of ****
Barrera tried so many times to try n become friends
Morales has tha most arrogant additude i hope Pacquiao beeats tha livin **** out him
if he wants to **** it out with pacman
he will go down!
I hope he loses so bad n gets embarrassed n will not try n be ****y again, Barrera clearly beat him, no way morales was robbed, Barrera gave him a handshake and morales throws water at him ya right
Morales says he lost cuz he had a bad night
i guess DLH lost to hopkins cuz he had a bad night
Hearns lost to Hagler cuz he had a bad night
hamed lost to barrera cuz he had a bad night
damn quit using that ****** excuse if u could've shook barreras hand and show respect and admit u lost fair and square.
Then maybe u could've got a rematch, and i would respect u and same with tha other few million people
I am a big MAB, EM fan but I'm a bigger PAC fan. I respect EM's boxing skills, his ring record and his business skills but as a person right after the MAB fight,Morales sucks!
