Training of Erik Morales(SLightly worrying)

[sillent killer]

Pacman will win by TKO and Eric should retire after this fight.

I disagree with Wack,Miles and you guys and totally agree with Gyro,a prime El Terrible would do better than he does in sparring Valero.There are far too many instances of the young,raw Valero getting the better of him,and it's a FACT,Morales needs to lose alot of weight so IT COULD BE that his team will work on him being able to make the weight rather than actually training for the fight.

That spar took place before the first Pacquiao fight. This shows direct evidence as
to what I was saying, that Edwin Valero "owned" Morales even when Morales was younger
lighter AND BEFORE WHEN HE BEAT PACQUIAO TO A PULP.

Valero just made it one sided in his favor, once he adapted to Morales' style and the high altitude from which they were training.

The reason why Valero is so dominating is probably from his reaction to his first days in
Camp Morales. Then, it was Morales that owned him.

Valero is just a m*thaf*ckin' bad*ss! There is no denying.
He would be the next greatest talent, if he had his liscense in the States.

His talent, showing from the video, is EVEN GREATER THAN FLOYD MUTHAF*CKIN' MAYWEATHER'S!!!!

Also note that just after this camp, Morales had one great fight left in him.


I've seen Morales fight when he was young, he was POWERFUL, FAST, and FULL OF ENERGY.
His combinations were amazing, and the fact that he was able to calmly hang in the
danger-zone while blasting his opponents away, just amazes me. I still think
Morales' career is underrated, in confidence and talent.

Morales is a proud man, his knockout at the hands of Pacquio is probably eating him alive. I think Erik might be able to ressurect the great Morales for one more night.

Just because that sounds cool.

[KKisser]

sparring ain't all that. morales will still beat valero in an actual fight. and what is this writer talking about "future champion written all over him"? isn't it valero's already world champ.

anyways a perfect example of why you shouldn't put too much attention to the whole sparring thing, is what were people saying about MANNY PACQUIAO BEFORE HE FOUGHT HIS LAST FIGHT AGAINST OSCAR LARIOSSSSSSSS, Yea he looked slow and sluggish during training, that his stamina wasn't that great, and look at how he performed, so yea don't read into it that much

[bigragu]

i think that it could very well just be a ploy to throw Pacquiaos team off, doubt it would work but could be a possibility, i haven't seen anything in Morales last showing that he isn't capable of performing at top level, by saying Morales is "shot", then they are basically down playing Pacquiao, because his win was nothing close to dominant, and he was also fighting a supposed "shot" Morales

My thoughts exactly...along with the fact that Pac's camp has been playing head games with Morales about Pac not caring about the 2lbs & what not.

it's just some verbal sparring and not worth the price of paper it was printed on.

Wait a little while longer, its too early to be making any final judgements on Morales as of yet. I doubt he's taken a fight with the sole intention of just making the weight. Of course Morales is not looking good in sparring 3 months prior to the fight. He's heavy and out of condition even now.

Time will tell, fellas....

Agreed. If Morales is still looking like a punch bag then I will eat my words!!

EV?

Oh come on El Gamo don't pretend for a second you don't know what EV stands for.

I know you've probably got those initials tatooed on your intimate areas, along with TM and MC :P

I didn't know that. You mean the great El Gamo has dumped ol' Erik for some new, younger guy!? That's not fair; can't do that to Erik. I wouldn't ever leave Pacman for somebody new, nevaaah!
Naw, I know Mr. Gamo pretty well, he wouldn't do that. He's a certified full-blooded El Terriiiible fan, and he would never leave Erik for some punk. Ok, Ok, you disagree about the 'punk' part - I concede there.

Agreed. The fact that Mosquerra lasted up to the 11th (or was it the 9th) round bolsters the claim of some analysts that almost all the fighters Valero KO'd in the 1st are unknown, unrated fighters. Mosquerra is not even considered as one of the marquee or elite fighters although he might have been a champion, which qualifies him as a first class fighter. He's probably the only first class fighter whom Valero faced so far. I wonder how long Mosquerra would have lasted against Pac.

lmao,HELL NO I have not left EM"!!! He's still my boy but he would beat on some young upstart like Valero in his prime but right now,Valero holds his own and although sparring does not usually mean alot,at times,it can get heated especailly with someone as proud as Morales. I sooooo hope we see the best of Erik on more time,I mean in the second fight,his defence was appaling!

Well he fought guys in Japan who none of us know wabout so none of us can comment on that and as for Mosquera,he was fighting in front of his adoring home fans,and he was known as a decent fighter so it's a good win for Valero and remember,he is just starting out,there is PLENTY more to come from.
