Then, I suspect, he'll get be in big trouble. It's too bad, and I'd like to see him finish the fight on his feet, even if he loses.

:coolclick: Totally forgot about the weight issue...I should be slapped! ;D

arent they both currently working down from 136?

They were at eye level with the ring, it was full of guys in suits, you could see the blood flying from lacy, and the thud of enzo macarenelli hitting the canvas, it was incredible, there were celebs everywhere, and I bumped into Gordon Ramsay, it was a perfect 18th birthday :)

He asked the fans to believe in him one more time,so do as the man says!! ;D :D

Alright man, what article did he say that in? Exact words too? Not out of context either?

Do yah have a link my man?

What a series these two have had! I'm a huge fan of both fighters, so trying to be objective is difficult.
With that said, I think EM will utilize his skills in this fight, more like the first fight, and pull out the UD.

Who cares who wins or loses, though? With a fight like this, everybody wins!

To you guys that have seen fight in person,you are SOOOOO lucky! I want to see Margarito next year for my 21st although wouldn't mind Cotto but I DEFINITELY want to see a fight next year! Is there any point going if the seats arent' really close though??

Gyro bro,I posted the article myself,personally,it was from boxingscene and fightnews,Ill check through my old posts but that is what he said,I woudn't forget Terrible saying something like that. When I get a minute,I'll try to find it.

Erik Morales: I'm asking you to believe in me one more time!

http://erik-morales-news.newslib.com.../2619-3204711/

"As everyone knows, that the last few times that I've been in the ring, it hasn't been that good for me," stated Mexican ring legend Erik Morales at today's press conference in Las Vegas to officially announce his November 18 rubber match with Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao. "This gives me an opportunity to reverse everything and go back to where I belong. I'm asking you to believe in me one more time to show you what I can do." Pacquiao, who was the first to ever stop Morales in their second fight, stated, "It's going to be a good fight on November 18th. Both of us are trying to give you a good fight. I'm praying no one gets hurt on the 18th." Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum commented that there is a whole staff of dependable people training Erik Morales so that he makes the 130lb weight limit for this fight. "Anybody who follows boxing and watches boxing will want to come to this fight or watch it on TV," stated the Top Rank CEO.


For Gyro and all my fellow Morales nuthuggers.

Ive got Pac by TKO in 7.

:'( ... ;D cc!

CC back Gyro,it is sad,because he probably realises that this is it,I'd want him to out on top rather than come back fighting bums and I think he realises that too...... It's going to be emotional come Saturday night..... I want Morales to win this sooo sooo sooo badly!

This is a good fight, I like both fighter immensely , both come to fight , and both come to knock that ass out ! I would favor Pacman in this fight slightly. Pacman can create havoc with once punch from either hand. Look for Pac to catch Erik in the mid rounds and win via KO in what should be an exciting barn burner type fight ! O0

gee willy wallyikers all this talk makes me want to go to this fight and see it live from the thomas and mack center!!!!!!!

only if that were possible tho. :(

Personally, I bloody hope that it ends up in being an absolutely cracking fight, and I look forward to logging in come Saturday night to be given a cracking RBR. What fights are likely to be on the RBR Wack...is there anything worthwhile on the undercard to RBR mate? I'll be doing an RBR on the Euro title fight between David Haye and Giancobbe Fragomeni come Friday night, because it's a biggie over here for the UK, and a good test for him to see if he is all that he says he is, and whether he is worth a shot against top champ O'Neil Bell.

So have we sorted out the ringside photos to accompany the RBR? If not, I'd be ifne if you sent them to my email, and I posyted them on a seperate thread to the DRBR when they come through to me. You're going to have a cracking night dude, so make sure those pics pass that attitude on!

yeah man im DOWN! PM ya email and cell number. does ya cell recieve photos well?

This fight is going to be a goody...I can feel it...hell...how could it not be.

This fight is more make or break for Morales, IWO, based on the fact that he's lost to Raheem & been TKO'd by Pac. Pac could recover from a loss at this point...Erik could not...just me opinion.

Trust me babe...the DRBR will be there for the duration & the undercard being as good as it is...I will most likely do the entire fight.

Let me know when and where and I promise I'll meet you there, just let me know in advanced.... The seats IMO do matter cause when your so up close you can see different angles, you can almost feel the punches yourself... But for example the Tszyu vs. Hatton fight I wouldn't have mined being there fucken standing way at the top of M.E.N for fights like that being in the venue alone if enough....

Very true. Sorry to the fans of EM. November 18 (19 here in the Philippines) is the appointed time for the Erik Morales' retirement from professional boxing. EM will be knockout before 10th round.

:throwup:


STOP!!!

please forgive this 'FAN'

:puke: :rotflmao:

Ok guyz, here comes the Pacfan, the proud Pinoy from the Philippines 'whose sole reason being here is the Pac!' (well, almost) My time has come. ;D This is what I've been here for all this time and this is about the only time when the Pacfan becomes real serious :(.


Ok, let's get down to business.


We'll start with the Terrible: what should (or would [probably]) Erik do?

I think Erik would basically do what he usually does - he's hardly known to change his style, though I think he'll be a bit more careful this time. I have this gut feeling that he'll go for an all out attack once he catches Pac off-guard, aiming for a KO, and when he fails, retreat again. I think that will be his basic strategy in this fight. If you want to understand how Erik fights, just watch his eyes, he uses his eyes to the max, always looking for an opening and exploiting every opportunity when he sees one, somewhat similar to Marquez except he doesn't wait for his opponent to attack first.


Now to Pac: what should Pac do?

As they say, if it ain't broke..., so he will probably do what he did the last time. In that last fight he let Erik do his stuff until the 5th to sap him a bit and started his offense on the 6th. But facing a supposedly stronger Erik he'd probably be starting his attack earlier this time, always wary of Erik's kamikaze attacks on the way. If there is anything he should do differently, I think it will be in the defense department. It'll help him a lot if he gets hit just a little less. He did show some new defensive moves against Larios, the most effective being his spinning move after throwing his straight left, leaving Larios confused for his counter.


So what makes this fight exxxxziting?

Pac said he's got some new moves for this fight, and Erik keeping his silence as if he's keeping a top state secret. Who knows, Erik might come hanging up his gloves over his face as Winky does and Pac hitting Erik and immediately holding him like Hopkins did... As some fools might say, 'the possibilities are endless!' That big 'unknown,' ladies and gentlemen, makes this fight exciting!!!


And what will probably be the biggest factor determining the outcome of this fight?

It'll be the motivational factor against the confidence factor, IMO.

On the motivational front, Erik is clearly more motivated here and I'm sure you all know why so I'll skip the explanation. But on the confidence factor, Pacman clearly has the advantage; again no explanation is necessary here.


So what are the odds for this fight?

When motivation goes against confidence, the latter almost invariably wins. So I'll give the fight 49% for Erik and 51% for the Pac - that's how unsettling this fight is for the Pacfan. But since that's kinda timid for me, I'd settle with 45% & 55%, respectively. So is Pacfan being biased, we shall see!


And finally, disregarding the odds, what's Pacfan's prediction?

I think Erik will knock Pacman twice in the first round and again in the second, and KO him in the third!!! Why is that so? It's simply because Pacfan (that's me) has never being wrong with his analysis here but almost always wrong in his predictions! ;D ;D ;D That's because I've always used my heart when predicting, instead of my tinny mind. :P


Ok, folks, start digging your foxholes and stack up your sandbags coz we are in for a WAAAAAR! Don't forget to stack up on your MRE's too. Geeze, I can't wait.

Agreed.

This is the perfect get together fights. One of those...oooooooooh & ah'ers & jump & screamer's with booze flying from floor to ceiling.

I've already got 5 lined up & it's just mid week...casual fans too...who said boxing was on the slide?

The theatre will be pumping again & I couldn't be more thrilled...gotta hit the liquor store & restock the bar from last weekend's outting.

Should be a goody.

And what will probably be the biggest factor determining the outcome of this fight?

It'll be the motivational factor against the confidence factor, IMO.

On the motivational front, Erik is clearly more motivated here and I'm sure you all know why so I'll skip the explanation. But on the confidence factor, Pacman clearly has the advantage; again no explanation is necessary here.


So what are the odds for this fight?

When motivation goes against confidence, the latter almost invariably wins. So I'll give the fight 49% for Erik and 51% for the Pac - that's how unsettling this fight is for the Pacfan. But since that's kinda timid for me, I'd settle with 45% & 55%, respectively. So is Pacfan being biased, we shall see!


And finally, disregarding the odds, what's Pacfan's prediction?

I think Erik will knock Pacman twice in the first round and again in the second, and KO him in the third!!! Why is that so? It's simply because Pacfan (that's me) has never being wrong with his analysis here but almost always wrong in his predictions! ;D ;D ;D That's because I've always used my heart when predicting, instead of my tinny mind. :P


Ok, folks, start digging your foxholes and stack up your sandbags coz we are in for a WAAAAAR! Don't forget to stack up on your MRE's too. Geeze, I can't wait.

You won't hear any excuses from me."

thats what Erik said after the 2nd fight
he isnt making excuses, forget the weight, the distractions
i thought boxers doesnt usually give excuses right after the fight
the people behind them are the ones who formulates those excuses
and they need a little time to do so

Ok, let's get down to business...

Thanx El Gamo, and Cutmemick (I saw you rooting for for the 'Terriiiiible' so you must be Erik fan like EGamo). Hate to admit it guyz but I think your boy's got a chance if half what they have been saying is true. I forgot to mention, Erik did stun Pac with his uppercut at around 8th round in the last fight, I think he's been working on that and if so that could be a very dangerous stuff for our boy. But still, don't get your expectations too high coz I'm starting to have some doubts too; I mean, the way uncle Bob has been so enthusiastically promoting this fight, I wonder if this whole thing, including the velocity camp, is just a part of a grand scheme to sell the fight? I surely hope not coz there's nothing like seeing two fighters in best of their condition splattering their bloods and guts out in the ring. But I guess these big ifs' adds to the excitement of the fight. Brace yourselves guyz, it just two days before the Graaaaad Finaaale!!!!!

CC back to you Gamo, and a CC for you too Cutmemick.
