We must remember that Morales was more than holding his own for the first half of the last fight and he won the first fight effectively. If Morales can ensure that his conditioning is absolutely on the button then he has the basis with which to make the fight more competitive than the last one. Morales needs to work more on his defence which was shambolic at times last time out, with Manny being able to hit at will. He needs to keep his hands higher and try and move in and out of range effectively. He needs his legs for 12 rounds, so needs to be fit and needs to try and avoid taking unnecesary punishment.

For me, the keys are Morales' conditioning, his mental approach to this and the strategy he adopts in the ring.

The fight is a pick 'em IMO but the popular sway is going with Manny....I though am resolute in not counting out a Morales at the age of 31, who will be fighting from the trenches...
All good comments bro, but I feel Morales is a old 31. Pacquiao would love a war, his faster hands & power would give him the edge. Morales should work on his defense but its hard to stop a whirlwind!
