Maidana - Morales Fight Thread

[GAME]

I agree with both of you. At best I see this fight playing out like the 2nd Pacquaio fight, with Morales outboxing Maidana for a while, then getting caught down the stretch.

At worst it will be a blowout like the 3rd Pacqauio fight.

Either way, I'll be rooting for Morales. He's a brave crazy son of a bitch to challenge Maidana.

This summed it up for me.

Erik will outbox Maidana for spells in the fight. His success will come early but as he slows he will start getting tagged then it wont be long til he folds. At worst he goes out swinging in a shootout but if that happens I'll be disappointed because it will show that he just wanted to get it over with early and pick up his cheque.

BINGO ! Thats exactly what he did in the 3rd Pac man fight.

I'm sticking to my guns that Maidana is overhyped, I'm picking Morales in the upset. Otley stay the eff away from picking Morales.

Maidana is definitely over-hyped. He's a one-dimensional brawler with good power, but he's hardly Godzilla. That being said, Morales is shot to bits. I hope he can surprise me, but I think El Terrible is getting stopped. He doesn't have the legs or the defense to keep away from Maidana's power.
