Erik Morales vs. Danny Garcia Saturday night fight thread
:action: We're back in Texas again, hopefully we don't see any more shit decisions in my home state. :rolleyes:
Danny Garcia is young, strong, and undefeated, (won 22-0 (KO 14) I believe Morales will have his hands full. The fight of the night might be Kirkland vs. Carlos Molina.
March 24
At Houston (HBO): Erik Morales vs. Danny Garcia, 12 rounds, for Morales' WBC junior welterweight title; James Kirkland vs. Carlos Molina, 12 rounds.
I'll go with Kirkland by TKO, Molina doesn't have enough power to keep James honest. As for Morales vs Garcia, i'll go with Garcia by UD, and a possible stoppage in the late rounds, Erik's "ring age" makes him ancient.
Who does Saddoboxing's panel of experts believe will win these fights?
Re: Erik Morales vs. Danny Garcia on HBO Saturday
I'm no expert but I agree with your picks.
Although I think Molina and Morales are live underdogs. Kirkland just seems to be too motivated, too ferocious to be stopped by a pedestrian punching volumne puncher. Molina is good and has heart, but don't see him being able to stop the momentum of Kirkland.
Morales is really matched tough against a young gun. I don't know how he's going to beat Garcia, but Morales might be able to shock us all once more.
Re: Erik Morales vs. Danny Garcia on HBO Saturday
Garcia has talent but I just don't see much difference in him and Cano. I expect Morales to start slow and than take over the fight.
Kirkland-Molina is a 50-50 fight. Kirkland is on a roll and if I had to pick one I'm must likely going with him. But Molina is a live dog. Molina power is weak but so was the Jap's power. If he could hurt Kirkland so can Molina

Danny Garcia probably grew up watching Morales on TV, if Danny doesn't get "starstruck" by Erik, he should take care of business, and if he shows Erik too much respect, he'll lose a decision
Forget about Morales being a fucking "legend" and just kick his ass.
Re: Erik Morales vs. Danny Garcia on HBO Saturday
Danny should give Mighy Mike a rematch.
He's gona get beat by Morales, I don't think he is as strong as Cano.
Re: Erik Morales vs. Danny Garcia on HBO Saturday
Morales fight should be great , hope he can pull off another win,
but he is in tough, make the most of watching him because he wont
be around too long i think .

Eh, I've never been much of a fan of Morales, I've always liked Pac, Barrera and JMM much better, To be honest, I wish Erik had stayed "retired".

I used to dislike Morales and Barrera for some reason, but they grew on me. Morales will go to war with anyone even if he doesn't have to. He loves it. He was born to be a fighter. You have to love a guy like that, especially one with such talent and boxing skills other than defense. ;D

It's not that I dislike Morales, it's just for whatever reason, i've never been much of a fan. I don't however doubt that Erik will put on a good show saturday, he's a warrior.
Re: Erik Morales vs. Danny Garcia on HBO Saturday
I'm rooting for Morales but I think Garcia gets him on points.
I think Kirkland either stops Molina in the middle rounds or he'll outwork him for a decision.

That's similar to what i'm thinking.
Kirkland vs Molina might be the fight of the night.
Re: Erik Morales vs. Danny Garcia on HBO Saturday
I can see Molina also losing a close, debatable decision. He's come up short a few times in a career and it may not be a coincidence. Still, Kirkland may spark him.

You guys are lucky to see Morales, I wish him the best and hope he pulls an unlikely victory. Read about Kirkland, think in the Ring magazine and he looks like a very good fighter

I wouldn't say I was a big fan, but I wish Kirkland well, after getting stopped by the Jap he came back to take care of business against "Perro". I like it when pugs come back from adversity, it'll be interesting to see how he does against Molina saturday night.
As for Morales, I hope Danny Garcia kicks his ass.
