Morales and Gatti Going in Opposite Directions

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

In every fighter’s career, there are moments that a fighter must reflect upon his journey in boxing. Erik Morales fought a game, but losing bout against Manny Pacquiao. A close fight in the first six rounds, the Pacman’s determination and speed finally overcame the tough Mexican warrior.

After spending years fighting wars in the trenches, Morales has now dropped three of his last four fights. His previous battle against Zahir Raheem may have been the signal that Morales’ time as an elite fighter is near the end.

Against Raheem, Morales found himself outboxed and outgunned against a good fighter, but not a fighter that was any better than of the men Morales beat at the pinnacle of his career. Pacquiao’s dogged style and hand speed only reinforced what the Raheem’s fight was telling us, Morales has lost a step or two as a fighter. Unable to dominate the Pacman or beat him decisively in the early rounds, Morales ran out of gas and time.

For Morales, the options are narrowing. As a result of his recent loss, Pacquiao is the main money draw in the junior lightweight division. Pacquaio has other targets to fight, which include Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez. [details]

Despite Morales' recent loss to Pacquaio, the guy cannot be counted out just like that. He is still young at 29. I predict that he'll be back after a long rest which I believe he badly needed.

I've read his latest press release in another website which is full praises for Pacquiao. And as it came out from his mouth, "you won't hear any excuses from me".

I take my hats off to "El Terrible"
