Morales fuming at Roach!

Tuesday, July 18 2006


It's not easy to get three-time world champion Erik "El Terrible" Morales to respond to words spoken outside a ring, but the Mexican icon is not pleased about comments trainer Freddie Roach made about him while in the Philippines earlier this month. Roach called Morales a loud-mouth, nasty guy, who has no respect for Manny Pacquiao and the Filipino people. "I respect all fans and it is insulting to me that Roach wants to put words in my mouth that I have never spoken," said Morales. "If he can't wait to see Manny try to beat me again, just tell him that Nov 18 will be here soon enough. In the meantime, he should stay out of my business and get his guy ready for another war." Erik Morales also had much more to say.

I hope this is a kick up the backside to Morales and hopefully it will motivate him to train hard and beat Pac!!
