VIDEO: Teddy Atlas' prediction on Pacquiao-Morales 3

[El Jesus]

I know you've followed Morales career how can you say he hasn't been tested pschologicly

The guys been in wars many time and never give up, always fires back and had the ref gave Morales a count he would have gotten up.

A weak minded individual doesn't put consitant performances as Morales has.

If morales would have gotten up he would have continued to take a beating that would have begin to put his own mental health in danger. Im glad he didint have another count, he was taking a beating, his punches began to have less and less on them as the rounds went on. Psychologically Pacman is unrelenting, its probably in some ways possibly intimidating because he knows hes hit this guy with his best shots and pacman hardly ever looks hurt or dazed.

Of all the wars Morales had been in this is the one where he didint get back up, that has an effect psychologically wheather you want to believe it or not.

i dont think Erik had enough ... he is till very dangerous and could not be taken lightly...

Of course so when Pacquiao beats a washed up Erik youll say he was in excellent condition and couldnt beat the great Pacquiao

[VERDUGO]

PAC is gonna send ERIK MORALES to retirement.

I dont' belive it. Not when we're talking about Erik Morales. If anything this is a learning experince for Morales and i know it wont happen again. Lets not forget that Pacquiao didn't have his way in the first few rounds.

[Knicksman20]

Pac didn't have his way with EM but those rounds were extremely competitive. And if I remember correctly he almost put EM on his ass with a straight left early. EM grabbed the ropes to keep himself from going down & from that point I knew that Pac was gonna stop him.

i think morales has lost it. he has lost that beautiful jab that he was able to use when he was outgunned on the inside (which was very rare). erik's brash and warrior attitude when he gets hit will be his downfall with manny. manny is younger, stronger, fitter and he has that money punch.

I also see that he lost he combination punching along with sound counter punching. But I think he can put it all together again for this fight.

good point - i am inclined to agree.

in terms of letting his hands go, when morales does do that it sometimes produces too-wide shots as his opponent gets inside his long arms. i think manny will be able to go punch for punch with morales and he will gain the upperhand against erik on combative situations when morales starts to let his hands go.

Well what i noticed in either of their fights is, when Morales let his hands go Pacquiao would always back away from Morales and I think the samthing will happen again - when Morales punchs, Pacquiao will back off.

I'm not sure if you noticed in Pac's last two fights, if you let your hands go against Pac, he backs away and then fires counterpunches in bunches.

Most of Pac's counterpunches are combinations.
