Look whos making excuses

[sane0t0]

I'm rewatching the fight and all I gotta say is: it ain't just the jab-jab-straight anymore. manny ending combos with right uppercuts. WTF!?!?

[Famoso Matador]

yea manny is a more complete fighter. I liked how he was going to the body, and using his right hook. He is learning as he goes.

I don't consider it as an excuse its reality, EM deserves much respect specially from us PAC FANS giving our boy a good fight, I believe that PAC can take EM out at the later rounds on the grounds that EM looked so thin, he drained himself to be at that weight, and will be vulnerable as the fight goes along specially if PAC could hit him enough Erik will crumble ...

Mi Amigo just one question if EM can't or having hard time to make weight at 130 and can't really go up in weight at 135, what should be Eriks next move be ??? a rematch with Raheem at 135, a match with JMM at 130 ???

hey guys i am quoting myself, nobody tried to answer my question..

i am really interested what Erik's next move SHOULD BE...

True that Barrera's reasons were valid, but the thing is that Barrera wasn't that eager to have rematch with Manny, while Manny sought the rematch with Morales as soon as possible. And that's the big difference. The only way to know if Barrera's reason's are really valid is to have a rematch after that we can't really call it.
I got nothing against Morales he fought like a warrior, till the end. Morales is one bad muda***a, lesser fighter would've been out by the seventh round the latest. Cong**** to Manny! Ju da mang, mang!!!

Pare, I think it should be a nice LONG break... then decide if he wants to exercise the rematch clause against Manny

At 30 it really is a question of what he wants. He can retire if he wants with the millions of made and I don't think people will think less of him if they look at his resume and the wars he's gone through. He can't stay at 130 easily due to the fact that making weight is so dificult.

While I can't give you an answer I can give you two possibilities..

If Morales comes back to fight at 130... he truly wants to **** some heads and continue to be great. If he comes in to fight at 136 he's hoping he's good enough for some wins but I'd say it's not as likely his heart and will are into it.

I think morales shoudnt try and make the weight again, he should retire now. He has gotten as much as he could fron boxing. He should just let it be.

EM won't do it!! here are the reasons:

1.he had trouble making weight (130 lb limit)
2.he got beaten in a very convincing fashion (almost the same as barrera's)
3.he can't get any better. if it's right to say his on his way to declining
3.a fighter like him who's not used to this sort of beating will find it hard to recover from that and because of that...
4.he will retire or maybe move to 135 lbs.

Excellent points, but EM is stubborn and he may feel that he wants revenge after a lot of thinking. And to think, EM was even considering fighting Corrales at 135.
