I can't believe this guy is still in the 130 lb division. He is going to collapse in the middle of the ring from starvation during this fight from trying to make weight.

That is because he doesnt do light training in between fights.

see Bernard Hopkins a Natural Super Middleweight making 160 easily he's even @156 againg DLH

The had to be a vegitarian to be able to stay at middlweight for as long as he did, steward and hopkins have both talked about this. Hopkins has great disapline without a doubt.

Morale sounded ready and he sounds eager but humble. I like how he says this fight is for him and his team. I have no doubt he will win again.

No doubt? Are you contradicting your lover, xcarriot the idiot? According to xcarriot, Morales is a bum and is past his prime. How the hell could he win against the midget Pacquiao?

Just watched the video, EM looks bigger in the picture than the video. In the vid, he probably weighs around 150, so losing weight till the fight won't be a problem.

No trash talking by Erik this time, did he soften up/became humble.

Did Morales ask that the Showtime translater translate for him?

Cause danm the showtime guy is by far the worst ****en translator i have ever heard. Heres what i got out of it.. Translated both Molinas questions that were asked in spanish and Morales's answers

JM : How do you feel for this fight? Its a trilogy, Is this one of the most important fights of your life?
EM : Its part of it. Its an important fight, its a fight that could mark my career, and we are gonna give it all we got.

JM : After watching the video of the second fight what kind of mistakes did you see in the video that you wont make this time?
EM : Well alot of things happen during a fight. Theres alot of mistakes. Of which i had physical and preparation mistakes, its nothing that cant be fixed, its nothing that i cant improve on, or completely fix. We are going to do what is needed, we are going to look through the first video, we are going to look through the second video, and see...

JM : What did you do correct in the first video, that you didnt do in the second fight?
EM : Well i was prepared, i made the 130 thirty pounds, and i was ready to fight. Im not tyring to say the second fight wasnt as important, but unfortunately sometimes things happen that you dont consider, and thats what happens.

JM : You thinks thats going to be the difference, having a nutritionist and all that?
EM : With a doubt,the work, the time that we had to do the physical work is excellent and it should reflect when it comes time to work...in technique.

JM : Never in your career have you been defeated in the manner that Pacquiao defeated you, you think...you want to KO Manny Pacquiao? you think you can do it?
EM : I saw that i was tired I didnt... I was getting hit but it was because i was tired, not because of technique, not because he is better than me techniquecally, maybe because he was better than me physically... no..no..showing my work is enough

JM : Do you want to knock him out?
EM : Showing my work is enough

JM : A decision to the end(of the fight)?
EM : Just showing my work is enough.

JM : Alot of people think you should retire after this fight. Do you want to retire? Or you think that when you win you want another fight in the future?
EM : Well, the important thing isnt that there is going to be a vote to wether i retire or dont, the important think is that i have the opportunity to do what i want, all i ask is confidence from the people, and i hope that everything goes well.

JM : Thanks
EM : Your Welcome
