Some similarities from MP-EM 1...

This is making me uneasy for Pacman... Morales won the first fight with great conditioning, his father beside him and with much determination. While Manny lost it to some contractual distractions, the gloves issue and the blood sampling 3 days before the fight.

Now looking at the things that happened now, Morales is once again gaining superior conditioning, experts around him and this will defeinitely be a make or break fight for him, making him more dangerous than ever.

Manny on the other hand, has started off with the Dela Hoya signing that flared up Arum, and a hint of overconfidence by Pacman himself and Roach with "I'll be knocking him out in seven rounds" and "Manny will be serving a lot of Reyes until Morales can't eat no more".

Manny is better when keeping a low profile training camp as shown by his last fight. Let's say Erik did have conditioning problems but the Pacquiao we saw during the first fight is definitely different from the Pacquiao we saw during the second bout.

IMO, Pacman should be the one to step up once again, and not the other way around.

if you look at past trilogies, the person who wins the second fight, usually wins the third fight

Except in the Morales MAB trilogy.. that one is all ass backwards
1-Should have gone to MAB not Morales
2-Should have gone to Morales not MAB
3-Should have gone to Morales not MAB

Actually this proves your theory right..
