Morales-Chavez

[amaru]

JMM/Manny I doubt would happen in Feb. I think once Morales beats MAB, he'd move in straight for Manny b4 moving up. So JMM is not in the big picture for now.

i dont think erik morales is gonna beat barrera. i honestly believe barreras got eriks number and although he might shock a lot of people WHEN he beats morales it aint gonna come as a shock to me. barreras power is very underated and in both fights he hurt morales bad and morales looked like he was gettin ready to get knocked out in certain rounds, just look at the damage barrera done to eriks face in both of their fights. barreras comin in as an underdog, fair enough but even though morales has looked impressive in recent fights he aint knocked out a fighter in ages and he is very easy to hit.

Fair enough. But do you tink that MAB will be affetced of teh weight gain seeing as the fight will be at 130?

There's no way that Barrera KO's Morales. It'll be another great fight for sure but I don't think that it'll be as close as the first two. Morales will probably take it by a clear decision or late stoppage.

I think we might see him slow down a bit but nothing too drastic.

i dont think it will affect him too much, if it was a fight at 135lbs then i would think barrera might have some trouble but when barrera was at 122lbs and stepped up in weight to fight hamed at 126lbs it made him stronger, even tho hamed was the natural featherweight at 126lbs. i expect barrera to come in stronger at 130lbs too, i even have a feelin he might come in just under 130lbs, maybe 128lbs. at 122lbs and 126lbs when barrera and morales fought barrera hurt morales A LOT more than morales hurt barrera. i aint takin anything away from erik, he is a GREAT fighter and in my top 4 P4P list. but i think barrera will be out to prove a lot of people wrong and he will be very motivated for this fight, a lot of people think he is past his best, hes finished, he should retire, etc.. a lot of people thought those same thoughts when he lost to junior jones and when he fought morales for the first time these same questions and thoughts were being aimed and labeled towards him and if you look at the performance against morales he was far from finished. i believe barrera will rise to the occasion and if/when he does beat morales it will set up his rematch with pacman nicely.

Taht would suck though, Morales/Pac is a more hyped up match.

even tho i want to see morales fight pacman i still wanna see barrera fight pacman again. pacman destroyed barerra when they fought the first time and he defeated him well. however if barrera has any pride (which im sure he does) he will wanna get in the ring to try and avenge an embarassin loss, which i think he is capable of doin. but it will be very hard to do because manny is an incredible fighter. even if morales loses to barrera i still think he will fight pacman. nobody thought that barrera would fight morales again after his one sided loss to pacquaio but now its a reality. i think manny will fight all 3 mexicans next year. i also think that when barrera does fight manny again, i think if he wins or loses he should retire. morales and pacquiao are the only 2 meaninful fights left for him in my opinion. he has had a great career would have won titles in 3 weight classes (if he beats erik) and if he were to retire by defeating morales and manny, that would be the perfect way to go out. after these fights, in my opinion he has nothing to prove, he already is a mexican legend and a hall of fame fighter. there aint too many top fights at 130lbs (maybe joel casamayorger), and i think 135lbs would be too much for him.

i think Chavez retired
he hasnt fought since
plus he got married
maybe he dont wanna risk himself no more
plus when he did have both hands he was way more open for shots
as in da second round
