Erik Morales Interview

[ferocity]

Around 89-94, the only boxing shows i remember where shown by ABS CBS and KCAL here in Los Angeles. They did show some in Great Western Forum. KCAL showed the Carbajal-Gonzalez fight, that was a classic. Wasn't one of their fight in the Forum?

I started watching boxing around 93, before that i'd catch a few fights when my brothers would watch the fights with their friends. So If you remember the KCAL fights I don't know how you don't remember Marquez.

I forget which one was at the Fourm but i belive you are right one of those fights was at the Fourm.

From 94-99, i was in the military so hardly anytime for tv.

I know. I've read your posts and your quite reasonable. I was quoting Psychopath who blamed Pac for not finishing JMM off because of a "hurt left arm". We all know that is a lie. Supporting a fighter is one thing, being biased and lying is another.

Oh yes I've noticed you quoted me.

No I don't hate JMM and I'm not being biased. You are the one being biased. As I have stated we can argue on opinions but we can never alter the facts.

How can you say that Pac's injury in the left arm is lie when it was shown to the public in the post fight confference. His swollen left knucles and his blistered foot was shown on T.V. dude.

If you don't know the facts better ask around before you brand somebody a liar because you're making yourself look ******.

As to JMM hating, nah, in fact I wanted JMM to step up so that he can earn his shot against Manny again. I wouldn't want any stone unturned. I wanted to see who wins without the ****** ref and judge and without any distractions on Pacman's side.

[daggerdeux]

JMM made excuses???.. which ones? He just said he thought had the fight won..

MAB - It was proven he was having personal issues, and the camp fire thing..

Morales - DRAINED.. and looking at the pic tells you he was

Morales, let's see which excuse you are going to dig after Nov 18
MAB can't find a gut to rematch and prove his excuses on the ring
JMM was scared to have his nose broke again. It interferes with hisfeminity.

Go locate a post of mine where I am being biased. Please , enlighten me. I'm nuetral on this situation and a fan of both fighters but what annoys me is when someone favoring there fighter makes excuses about why they lost the fight. JMM fought a helluva fight. HE should be given his props, not be made fun of and "clowned" by calling him names.

Please dont say that a swollen left knuckle and a blistered foot is the reason why the JMM fight ended in a draw. Please dont make me gag in my own laughter. This is boxing man. Swollen knuckles and blisters are common in a 12 round fight. ****, EVERY fighter comes out with swollen knuckles or maybe even fractured or broken. That is just an excuse. WOW...just wow at your comment.

Honestly, im tired of this legacy crap people keep talking about. Thanks to Bernard Hopkins everybody is talking about legacy this, legacy that.

You must be new to boxing, because before pacquiao came along Juan Manuel Marquez already had a deep name in boxing. Everybody respected him and his skills, so much that Nassem Hamed did everything he could to avoid him. Marquez will not onlyl be known for his fight with pacquiao but for his excellant boxing skills, his great counter punching ability. West Coast, knew about Marquez years before pacquiao hit the scene. Juan Manual Marquez comes from the Great Western Fourm fighters who fought regularly on tv in the Great Western Fourm. The people who know Marquez only for his fight with pacquiao are, once and awhile boxing fans, they are the ones that go to the hyped fights only.

Marquez schooled pacquiao, shame on pacquiao for not finishing the job after three knockdown, then again, knock Marquez down 4 times and he's still getting up and going to school you the rest of the rounds.

It took a trip deep into the jungles of Indonisia to robb Marquez of his victory over John.

You may not want to give Terdsak credit for his effort but he went 12 rounds with Juan Guzman and Marquez tko'd him in less then 8 and knocked him down twice.

Sorry bro, you are wrong Manny arrived at the top of boxing much earlier than Marquez. Pacquiao became world champion first in 1998 while Marquez became one only in 2003. Plus Pacquiao won his 2nd title at another weight division in 2001 way before marquez took his first. Pacquiao was already a 2-weight division champion and a household name, especially in asia, even before Marquez caught the attention of boxing fans.

As for marquez schooling pacquiao, do not let your nationalistic bias cloud your better judgement. It's true that marquez has great boxing skills and its also true that he came back strongly from 3 knockdowns in the first round, to give pacquiao a tough fight. From the 3rd round up to the 12th round, it was a close and competitive fight. I scored the last 10 rounds 7 to 3 for marquez, although you can make a case that 7 of those last 10 round could go either to marquez or pacquiao's way with only a comnbined 3 rounds that are clearly for marquez and pacquiao. And by saying that, it is quite clear that nobody dominated the last 10 rounds emphatically, therefore JMM did not schooled Pacquiao. All we can say is that he won more rounds than pacquiao 7 to 5, with that it is clear that Pacquiao won the fight 113-112 because of the 10-6 score in the first round.

Cheers!

one the judges was dumb as hell.. and wondered if a 10-6 score in a round was possible so he scored it 10-7 what an idiot!

[psychopath]

Go locate a post of mine where I am being biased.

Well I guess we don't have to go and dig somewhere else for me to prove that. Saying on the spot that the injuries were all lies showed your are being biased (meaning you are siding with JMM and his bunch of denying nuthuggers).

Please , enlighten me.

I'm nuetral on this situation and a fan of both fighters but what annoys me is when someone favoring there fighter makes excuses about why they lost the fight. JMM fought a helluva fight. HE should be given his props, not be made fun of and "clowned" by calling him names.

Well as I have mentioned on my earllier post, his left swollen hand and his blistered foot were all shown on camera so if you still doubt that, Maybe you can get a HBO CD copy of the fight which NORMALLY includes the post fight conferences.

JMM did fought a gallant fight and I have already given him PROPS for that, but his refusal to fight a rematch and his refusal to fight Morales quickly erased my respect for the guy.

Please dont say that a swollen left knuckle and a blistered foot is the reason why the JMM fight ended in a draw. Please dont make me gag in my own laughter. This is boxing man. Swollen knuckles and blisters are common in a 12 round fight. ****, EVERY fighter comes out with swollen knuckles or maybe even fractured or broken. That is just an excuse. WOW...just wow at your comment.

Don't say? You're also in denial dude, but I call it red when I see red and I call it blue when I see blue. Of course injuries are always part of this game but it will be ****** for anybody to believe or assume that any fighter with a swollen left knuckle and blistered foot will be performing the same if he is 100%. Oh common! That's just common sense.

The fight is a draw, that's a fact. Excuse? Nah, these are the factors why it turned out that way. And as I was saying the only way to resolve the issue is for a rematch to happen.

There's a similarity between HYPES and EXCUSE dude, if the fighter can do it or prove it inside the ring then he validates it, it then becomes a fact. And that's exactly the reason why Pacquiao is moving heaven and earth at that time to make a rematch but JMM refused.

Again, we can argue with our opinions but we can never alter what has already transpired.
