brawler201 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Who'll be next for Manny? The most obvious answer is Marco Barrera. For three reasons. First, it's the best money draw. Fight fans will pay more for a Pacquiao-Barrera II than any fight at the moment. Manny will make his biggest payday with this fight. Upwards of US $ 3M plus a share of the pay per view. Barrera shouldn't get a cent more than Pacquiao. If he insists, show him the tape of their last fight where he almost gut pummeled into retirement. As far as one upmanship goes, Pacquiao has the edge as Marco can't claim the bragging rights for beating the man (Morales) who beat the man (Pacquiao) who beat the man (Barrera). As far as bragging rights go, Marco and Eric are both Pacman's bitches now. Second, Barrera has the titles (WBC and IBF). Titles have not been a big issue for pacman over the past few years opting to run after money making fights than chasing belts. If titles were his priority, he could have stayed at featherweight and ate up one if not all the titles offered by the alphabet boxing bodies instead of running after Barrera and Morales. This time, the stars have aligned to give Manny a chance of not only making a load of cash but also of cementing his legacy as one of the best ever in terms of titles won. When he steam rolls past Barrera, he will become the first Asian to win titles in three different weight classes and get ranked among the great featherweights of all time. An earlier option for title shots is a fight with Juan Miguel Marquez but the latter just shoved his ass out of a fight with Manny by losing whatever draw he has for Manny to rumble with him: his titles (stripped). Had he fought Manny in the rematch before the first Morales fight, he probably had a better chance then of pulling one over the Filipino champion. Manny, if he shows up in every fight hereafter like the Manny of last Sudnay, will just chop JMM down to tiny bite size pieces. JMM for all intents is just a smaller version of Morales. A little bit faster but easier to hurt. And Pacquiao has shown in the latest Morales fight that he will have an easier time dealing with counterpunchers like JMM. Marquez kissed his biggest money making fight by asking for equal sharing of the purse which is just nuts. He couldn't even get a decent purse bid for his next title clash and will have to travel to Indonesia for less than US $ 50k prize. If Manny ever gives this swell head a chance, the sharing should be 80-20 in favor of Manny at the very least. Third, Barrera is the perfect opponent for Pacquiao. The older version of the Pacman was succesful and will be successful against co-brawler Barrera. Version 2006 would just be devastating. I always have fears for Manny when he fights good classic counter punchers like a Marquez and a Morales but Pacquio has shown that he has learned enough to cut down counter punchers and negate the distance that they create to keep him at bay. Pacman is an improved boxer. He didn't change his style, he improved on it. Pacman will never be a boxer-counter puncher, he still relies on his big left and blitzing combos when he phone booths opponents or rampage over them in a frontal attack but he has also combined with this a deft understanding of attacking in angles, a strong jab and a vicious body attack and most importantly, a lot of patience in executing a fight plan. Pacquiao is maturing but the scary part is that he is still a long way from being the best fighter that he could possibly be. God save the featherweight-lightweight divisions if the Pacman masters his new found crafts, develops his defense to become almost unhittable (he'll get there) and (gasp!) physically hit his prime to make his punches even harder (OUCH!!) and his resolve even tougher to withstand punishment. He'll romp away with everything in sight. Quote Link to comment

bret_hart Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) PACQUIAO STORMS ACROSS THE PACIFICMorales suffers first KO in vengeance match January 21, 2006Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas How can one man make 92 million people happy all at once? Just ask the three-time world champion, Manny Pacquiao and he’ll tell you. With a powerful career defining win over future hall of famer Erik Morales last night, Pacquiao avenged his loss to Morales from just under a year ago inside the Thomas & Mack center in Las Vegas, NV. Over 14,000 people witnessed live what almost 92 million Filipino will eventually see what some would consider the renewing of vows between Pacquiao and his legacy to the Filipino people, and the boxing community. In a fashion that could not have been written any better, Manny Pacquiao had many more ups than downs throughout almost 10 full rounds of truly championship boxing, earning a 10 round KO over Tijuana’s Erik Morales, who hit the canvas for what really is the first time in his career. Pacquiao moved to show that not having the overwhelming distractions he had during his first fight truly made a difference in this fight. “I was well prepared. Shelly Finkel and my team cleared all distractions from me.” said the Filipino southpaw. The very beginning of the fight was met with a longer than usual feeling out process for these two crowd-pleasing gladiators, who where each 100% ready for tonight’s bout according to their perspective camps. As Pacquiao’s Promoter Gary Shaw stated earlier in the week, “Whoever loses this fight, will have lost only because they could not win, no excuses.” Pacquiao appeared to be different this from the very 1st round, showing a bit more patience than what most believe he could. Pacquiao went to the body very early on. This allowed him to work Morales’ abdomen and make him drop his defensive right hand that seems to be permanently attached to his chin. In a round that saw more controlled action from Pacquiao, Morales was overwhelmed for the most part of the second round, debuting itself as the first round to have a clear cut winner. The double jab followed by a straight right seemed to make good enough contact for Erik Morales to win two of the first three rounds on two of the judges scorecard. These connecting punches may not have been able to score a knock out but they were definitely enough to earn something on the judge’s scorecards. Pacquiao won a clear second round with speedy hooks to the body and head, while slowly but sure gaining more control of the ring. Most of the first five rounds, with the exception of round two, where very close rounds that saw Pacquiao control the ring with quick hooks and right hands, only to be occasionally forced back by an incredibly game Morales. Morales seemed to be firing hooks and straight rights in spurts, only attacking when counterpunching and growing less successful in those attempts as the fight went on. Pacquiao’s offensive striking was obviously more thought through than in their first fight, that or this time Pacquiao stuck with Freddy Roach’s instructions that worked like clockwork. It was apparent that Pacquiao’s body work, right hands and hooks were working. Allowing Pacquiao to wear down the former champion midway through the fight. “I feel him slipping. I think I have him hurt in the sixth round," Pacquiao would say later. Pacquiao showed incredible growth in his fight game, seemingly adding an equally dangerous weapon to his arsenal, his right hand. Pacquiao who in the past has been known for over pursuing his opponents when they are hurt, showed great maturity by throwing hooks to the body and head that would connect and instead of lunging in for the k*ll, he wisely stepped back and used his right to keep Morales guessing as to where he would be coming from. By the eighth round both fighters had taken some great shots and had both struck back when being heavily engaged throughout the fight. Morales had a cut on his eyebrow an his body showed signs that he knew his body wasn’t going to make it through the twelfth round. Pacquiao continued with his constant application of body work along with the straight left, uppercut and hook combinations. Morales seemed on the brink of being down several times throughout the fight, but with the heart of a true champion Morales came back and would pursue Manny as a way to stop the assault, at least temporarily. The crowd who was split very closely down the middle each chanted for their Hero as the fight went on. Morales looked like a beaten man by the end of the sixth, although he stayed in the fight, at this point had yet to be completely out of it. Morales would answer the seventh with a strong desire to keep the pace up but that hungrier Pacquiao would not be denied his sweet revenge. The tenth round started like most of the other rounds, having Pacquiao coming in to trade and Morales doing his best to stay in it. Morales’ body looked like it was saying it was done. With a cut over his right eyebrow and a chin that had been through the roughest of nights; Morales was dominated one last time in the tenth. With less than a minute to go, Pacquiao rocked Morales with the kind of power Morales claimed he had never felt before, and knocked him down for the first time in the fight. Morales recovered in time to make the count and give a valiant effort, as you could see that his mind was telling him that he should not stand up. Instead to just stay down as his body was done; but Morales’ with the heart of a Lion, managed to stand up on courage alone. Facing Pacquiao once again, Morales hoped to make it through the round, a feeling he had never felt before in his professional career. Morales stayed true to form and engaged Pacquiao even while still dazed. Pacquiao seized the opportunity and with the might of an entire country flurried hooks to the whole of Morales until he crumpled to the ground and referee Kenny Bayless stepped in and stopped the bout, declaring Pacquiao the winner by KO at 2:33 into the tenth round. Pacquiao felt confident about his win, saying he always knew what was in him: “I was ready. Morales said I made excuses before--well, there no excuses today." As a precaution, Morales was taken to Valley Hospital for precautionary reasons and has since been released from the hospital. PACMAN Edited January 23, 2006 by bret_hart Quote Link to comment
