Pac vs Morales: who are you ROOTING for?

[ELPacman]

I keep changing my mind over this fight though right now I'm thinking Manny will win by decision. At first I kept thinking Morales would win a decision, though Manny is just so damn hungry, he will not let Morales win a decision and do desperate things when he feels he's slipping rounds. Though the way the two of them are conditioned for this fight, I doubt either will be KOed. Their is an invincibility in boxing, it's called conditioning.

there should be an option for both. i am not chosing one over the other. it will be cool with me whoever wins.

After watching the first two fights, its easy to say that you think Morales will out box him again this time, but honestly, Pac has become such a better boxer from the first to second fight. Unless he has completely lost it, its tough for me to believe that Morales can beat him, though like I said, I am praying that it happens. For the record I love both fighters, but am a bigger fan of Morales.

Out of the 22 rounds they have fought I give about 16 or 17 of them to Erik so his ability is clearly there.

If there was ever a chance that EM could pull one last great display out of the bag all the circumstances would have to be spot on.

eg........

His weight issues would have to be under control by employing a good dietician and a good nutritionist and having a perfect training regime set out. Weight drain more often than notcan cause a fighter to be hurt and fatigued much more easily so a good weight training and diet plan can aid him in handling Pac's power more effectively...

He would have to have a bit of a rest period before getting back into the ring as he is usually too quict to get back to action that can cause a fighter to decline in terms of ability quicker than he would like.

His habit of being drawn into a war would have to be controlled because even if he comes out on top after the exchanges he is using fuel that he didn't have to(he has a great boxing mind and needs to use it)

Finally, his stamina will need to have been worked on in order to insure a points win if it goes that far, in the past his youth has always helped him to the final bell but theres no reason why he cannot still do it if he plays his cards right.

I think its fair to say that after two previous encounters with Pac that he is well clued up about his man's style, strengths and weakneses and he has more than enough talent and ringcraft to execute a plan to win this fight.

Just control that hot temper Erik and you can ease to a points win..
Dont fight messy against a messy fighter

I predict EM on points but its still a close one to call.

If I was asked this question about a year ago, I would have readily rooted for the Pacman without any hesitation. But after hearing in the news that he wants to run for vice-mayor in one of the districts in Manila, I began to doubt the motives of this man. I mean, why enter the dirty world of politics when you can better accomplish your goals through sports?

so you're not rooting for him becasue someone said he is running for vice-mayor?

Definitely Erik Morales.

You sound dumb ass hell son, the factors should be age and the amount of punishment a fighter has taken. If your body has been broken down over and over again no amount of conditioning can save you. The reality of this fight is Morrales is at the end of the road and Manny is right in the middle of his journey. Pacman will eventually break down Morrales' body and all the punishment he's taken over his career will catch up to him just like the second fight.

I'm rooting for MAB to get to his knees praying for a Morales win to set up a potential 4th fight, and I'm rooting for PBF to scream his lungs out cheering for Manny.
