Morales picks Paquiao over Larios

[loui_ludwig]

I guess PacMan wasn't ready also when he lost to Morales in their first fight. MP has the legal battle against Murad and he has to wear Winning gloves, and the cut made it worst. But MP still gave it all, even though it was a UD of 115-113 for Morales. If MP wore Reyes gloves, he could have knock Morales down in that 11th or 12th round, making the score 114-114. But MP lost.

As far as EM not being ready, he came in at 135 pounds against Raheem and still lost. And saying he did not train well in the rematch against PacMan, well its his fault. But MP beat him fair and square. I have higher respect of EM than MAB, but stop making excuses.

Erik Morales says his compatriot, Oscar Larios, does not have enough of what it takes to beat Manny Pacquiao, adding, that Larios' only chance is if Pacquiao climbs the ring on fight night out of shape. Morales said, Larios is not in Paquiao's class.

In an interview with Dyan Castillejo in San Diego, CA, where Morales currently resides, Morales also asserted that it was not Pacquiao's punches that beat him. He said, he beat himself as he was not quite ready during their second meeting. He said., Pacquiao's punches were much stronger during their first encounter and that he was never really bothered by the Filipino's punches in the first five rounds of their second meeting. He claimed he was far ahead on points at the end of round 5 but started to really get tired in round 6.

Morales said he looks forward to their third encounter, promising likewise to give Pacquiao one good drubbing thereby putting finis to Pacquiao's fame, which, he said, only came about as a result of how their last fight ended.

I agree with Morales that Larios is not in the same class as Pac.

But I disagree with him about the second fight, the reason he got tired, is because Pac went to the body, it was pac's body punching that made Eric tired. That was pac's game plan & it worked perfectly against Eric. Pac will probably do the same thing in the third fight.

I'm pretty sure Pacquiao is the Mexican assassin and that Larios is Mexican so

Pacquiao by KO, duh

Pacman's recent record against mexicans: 2-1-1. I wouldn't call that an assassin.

[Mr. Ryan]

Well, atleast Pacquiao's 10th round TKO in January didn't damage his mental clarity and thought process.

if morales didn't switch to southpaw, it would have been a very borring round, pacquiao was ruled, then morales allowed himself to be hit, why? morales has said he wants to make fights exciting and keep people guessing who is going to win.
