Morales has a steel chin

[The1God]

thats one thing everyone can agree on is that this is going to be a great fight. early candidate for fight of the yr. they got styles that have classic written all over it. i just hope that there is no excuses after the fight from either camp.

I really hope we all don't get our hopes up and get let down. I thought DLH vs Hopkins would be good. I guess in this sport you can be let down real easy.

You ever notice that EM's expession doesn't change much?

thats true but everyone seems to guarantee a knockout. if this fight goes into the later rounds then i do think manny could have a chance of knocking out morales. if marquez took three of manny's best shots and still went the distance then i dont think morales should have a problem with that punch. which seems to be the only one manny throws. morales has a better chin then marquez and punches harder then barerra and marquez. something to think about.

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.

you must not have seen barerra agaist junior jones. he got his ass whooped in that fight. if it goes into the later rounds manny has a better shot of a knockdown. but dont underestimate morales' heart manny has never been in there with as much heart as morales.

Heart humbles you. Heart pushes you to train and to impose yourself on your opponent. Morales has more PRIDE than heart.

what are you talking about he did catch marquez in the later rounds with those same shots. but they didnt have a much on them. which means that manny power was fading. it was a combination of marquez countering and figuring out that manny relied too much on that punch. morales will not let up and he also will not underestimate manny's power.

yeah i had my hopes up for the de la hoya fight but not like i do for this fight because in oscar's last fight you could see that his mind was not really in boxing anymore. he has accomplished everything any one could want from the sport. he needs to hang them up and move on wife his life and his fine ass wife.

if Morales gets KO for the first time, shall we call his chin as woody. no boxer has a steel chin. just wait for the fight. but i am very sure that this will be the bloodiest fight in the career of Morales. Pacman always bloodied up his opponents. that's for sure.

Do me a favor and watch round 3 again when Pac hits JMM on the head and you hear a thud. You even see Manny grimmace and shake his left hand. You'll say excuses, I'll say injury. No chin imrpoves as the fight goes on.

And Morales WILL let up when he tries to slower the pace as he always does. It's Pac who don't let up. Human punching washing machine.

chin is def the biggest factor here
both guys hit hard
both guys like to striat up fight
so in a toe to toe war
theyll both be gettin hit
the difference will be there chins
and history is not on pacs side
hes been kd 2 and ko 2
and in lower wieghts with pressumabley lesser punches
while morales has only been kd once
and even then it was questionable

Pac was 18 when he last got KOed and that was from a body shot. The one before that with Torrecampo was a good shot but again he was so young back then and underdevelopped. All I know is that JMM and MAB, two guys with more than decent KO percentages coulnd't put Pac down at least once and Morales hasn't shown power in this weight as he did when he was at featherweight or superbantam. IMO, SPEED and RELENTLESNESS wil be the main factor.

if manny ko's morales i will be surprised. three of his best shots couldnt knock out marquez out. and his chin is not as good as morales. wait till manny feels morales power. he is going to be in a situation that he has not been in. the way he reacts to this situation will be the difference. because morales is not 3k or marquez. el terrible will let manny fall into his own trap.
