In my analysis, if both are well conditioned (and both are right now), Erik has the edge. That's why they call it "sweet science", skill is important and not only speed and strength.

 

Besides, the sport is called "boxing" and not "knockout"

 

Well that's true but Pacquiao has grown mature and sa kanya din nanggaling na he will outbox morales and go for the knockout. That's why there is "knockout" in Boxing. He has that gift and he will use that thru his advantage. Aside from being a mature boxer, Pacquiao is a passionate fighter. He fights from his heart and that will emerge him victorious in the grand finale.

 

GO MANNY! :thumbsupsmiley:

Do you guys still remember Juan Manuel Marquez, the boxer who Pacboy knocked down three times in the first round of their match.

 

Well, according to one forum that I frequent, they believe that he has turned gay. They say he has a Jap lover.

 

Look at the pics below and see how the Jap boy is grinding his ass against JMM's groin

 

I think something happened to his brain when Pacboy punched him hard on the head.

Pacquiao sets Media Day

 

 

 

 

 

FOR ONE day next week at the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, security won’t be as tight as gaining entry into a black-tie affair.

 

 

Before Manny Pacquiao is driven off to Las Vegas on board his sporty black Mercedes Benz to complete the trilogy with Erik Morales set Nov. 18, the Wild Card will play host to the media and, of course, to a multitude of fans armed with notepads, pens, cameras, memorabilia and other similar stuff on Thursday (Friday in Manila).

 

"We are holding it on Thursday," said Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach, whose sweat shop on Vine Street near Santa Monica has been closed to ordinary mortals the past few weeks so the Filipino lefty and the famed cornerman can fully concentrate on their gameplan.

 

"The gym’s closed whenever Manny trains," said Roach, who expects the workout to intensify this week with less than two weeks remaining before the scheduled 12-rounder at the Thomas and Mack Center.

 

Pacquiao said he’d like to motor to Sin City on Nov. 12 owing to superstitious beliefs.

 

"He doesn’t like to go on the 13th," added Roach. All the major Philippine dailies are sending coverage teams to Pacquiao-Morales 3 and the fight will be aired by giant TV station ABS-CBN probably on a delayed basis.

 

But those who would like to catch the action as it happens will have to cough out as much as R600 to see the fights in cinemas.

 

However, gun enthusiast Cris Aquino said that diehard fight fans can watch the fight for much less since the city of San Juan is working on bringing the fight on closed circuit on two giant monitors for R250 a pop. Aquino will carry the Philippine flag from Pacquiao’s dressing room all the way to the ring. —Nick GIONGCO

Roach sees KO if Morales is not in fine shape

 

 

 

Inquirer

Last updated 04:37am (Mla time) 11/07/2006

 

Published on page A23 of the November 7, 2006 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer

 

ERIK MORALES should be in his fighting best or he’s going to get knocked out again by Manny Pacquiao.

 

American trainer Freddie Roach declared this yesterday in the latest update on the buildup by the Filipino hero Pacquiao and the Mexican icon Morales for their eagerly awaited rubber match on Nov. 18 (Nov. 19 in Manila) at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

 

In a one-on-one interview with Boxingtalk.com’s Brad Cooney, Roach said there’s no doubt “this will be the best Morales so far” with all the extra effort the Mexican put in to make the 130-lb limit for their super featherweight clash.

 

“We will find out once and for all if he has one more good fight left in him,” Roach said. “If he doesn’t, he’s going to get knocked out.”

 

Pacquiao stopped Morales -- the first in the storied career of the former three-time world champion -- in the 10th round of their second meeting last January after the Filipino lost by unanimous decision in their first clash in 2005.

 

Roach said Pacquiao is working on some “different moves,” mostly defense. “Manny is very offensive minded, but he will be more willing to box in his next fight,” the trainer said.

 

After flooring two sparring partners yesterday, Roach said he has “to cycle them [sparmates} because they get worn out” from absorbing blows from Pacquiao.

 

“Manny gets friendly with them once he gets to know them, and he starts taking it easy on them,” said Roach. “We have to cycle them so he doesn’t let up on them.” Salven L. Lagumbay, Contributor

Finkel expects Manny to win by KO

By Joaquin Henson

The Philippine Star 11/08/2006

 

There is no doubt in Shelly Finkel’s mind that Manny Pacquiao will knock out Erik Morales in their 12-round rubber match at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas on Nov. 18.

 

But whether Morales will retire or not after the fight remains to be seen, said Finkel from New York the other day.

 

"I can’t tell you if this will be his last fight if he loses but I am sure he is going to lose and it will be by stoppage," Finkel told The STAR.

 

Although Finkel expects Morales to be in the best shape of his career, he said Pacquiao is just too quick and too strong for the Mexican veteran.

 

"Manny is faster, stronger and usually both have stamina but Manny gets stronger as the fight goes on and Erik doesn’t," noted Finkel. "We expect the best Morales possible. His pride is huge and he wants to avenge his embarrassing loss to Manny."

 

Asked if Morales will hit and run like Marco Antonio Barrera did in outpointing dangerous slugger Rocky Juarez last September, Finkel said he’s not ruling out the possibility but insisted it won’t make a difference in the outcome.

 

Barrera had difficulty outpunching Juarez in their first meeting and in a strategic twist, opted to cautiously box from long range and never engaged the former Sydney Olympian from Texas in their rematch. Barrera was booed by the crowd for an uninspiring performance but the change in style led to the risk-free win on points. The expectation is Morales will try to do to Pacquiao what Barrera did to Juarez.

 

"I don’t think Erik can change as Barrera does," said Finkel who manages both Pacquiao and Juarez. "Manny has to keep pressing him and eventually, Erik will collapse."

 

Finkel said Pacquiao has stuck to his routine with trainer Freddie Roach at the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles and is focused, determined and free of distractions.

 

"His regimen is not much different but it is consistent and he has been training hard," continued Finkel. "Now that he is on top (of the superfeather- weight division), every fight is important. He cannot afford to lose any."

 

Finkel said Morales will not be able to survive Pacquiao’s heavy hitting and will fall "from round four on."

 

Writer Eric Raskin of World Boxing Magazine said the past wars have taken a toll on Morales "who should be able to wave goodbye with no regrets." He is suggesting retirement for "El Terrible."

 

"Retirement is not a bad option for Morales right now," said Raskin. "He’s lost three of his last four fights, including two in a row, and has finally been knocked out. It’s not unreasonable to suggest, even though he’s still fairly young (at 30), that all the wars have caught up with him."

 

Raskin said Morales "pulled out one last great performance in the first Pacquiao match but looked ordinary against (Zahir) Raheem and worn down against Pacquiao."

 

Robert Mladinich, also of World Boxing Magazine, said Morales is finally showing the wear and tear of so many rugged fights in a 48-4 (with 34 KOs) record. Another devastating loss to Pacquiao will likely signal the end of his career.

 

"If Pac-Man beats him as easily as he did in their second match, Morales might want to seriously ponder retirement," said Mladinich. "The biggest question mark concerns how much he has left after more than 12 years as a pro, tangling with some of the very best small men in the business. That question should be answered on Nov. 18. If Morales wins, there is no reason to think he won’t be right back at the forefront of the division."

 

Mladinich said few fighters are as relentless and determined as Pacquiao, whose record is 42-3-2 (with 33 KOs ).

 

"It might look like Pacquiao is nothing but a go-for-broke brawler with good power and endurance but he’s actually more of a thinking man’s fighter than he gets credit for and has learned to utilize savvy footwork to create punching angles," said Mladinich. "Moreover, his once inconsequential right hand is now almost as menacing as his sizzling left."

Hi Everyone. I apologize for the spam but I've been digging Pacquiao-Morales III threads and found no thread about bars that will feature Pac-Morales III.

 

Can you please inform me if you know of any bar/s that will feature this one, preferably Makati or Ortigas area? I inquired with National Sports Grill in Makati and they said they're not featuring it.

 

Thanks.

[cool_kojie]

Ok. We'll all wait and see!

 

Personally, I see Pacquiao winning via his best performance yet!

 

Whatever happens, though, this is bound to be a classic!

 

Peace!

 

I am for manny all the way. But I have a strange feeling that he will loose to morales on November 19. Sa Las Vegas diba, if the match goes down to the score card manny will loose. Morales is a technical fighter and he will score more points. Maski mas malakas sumuntok si manny a point is a point sa score card basta the fighters punch hits the mark. A well conditioned morales will be very hard to beat. Many must outpunch morales and hopes to get more punches in. If possible knock him down. If the fight goes the distance and boils down to the score card tough luck for many. Win or Loose MANNY Parin!

[pogi_cute]

this is not realistic anymore. this is like a circus held every year. definitely, pound for pound, manny is better and no question that he will win. the only thing that worries me is that this is too obvious. i doubt if anyone will dare put big bucks on morales. but here is the catch, will vegas allow this??? the answer is NO. i think manny will lose this and vegas will win big bucks! manny is still young and can come back.

 

dont get me wrong, i will route for manny but will not put even 1cent on him this time. will just enjoy the bout.
