he doesnt attack recklessly, he fights with controlled aggression. Thats what won him the first fight.
thats why ive never thought pac was really that great ... the first time he fought morales he was past his prime an erik still whooped his ass then 2nd an 3rd time he was torn down from the wars hes been in an same with barrera... juan manuel marquez would have beat him if it wasnt for that 1st round... an he hasnt really fought many other ppl..... but back to morales he will always be one of my favorite fighters... my favorite moment of his was when he turned south paw against pac in round 12 of the 1st fight.... lol roy jones couldnt figure out why he did it an larry merchant was jus like because hes a true warrior who wont let pac beat him at his own game
Why is that everytime the EM-PAC I fight is brought up its "he whooped his ass" but when somebody mentions the last two fights, its "he's washed up" I think the 2nd fight is a tell tale sign of what could/would have happened without the gloves and cut eyed excuses. Morales was in cruise control in the 2nd fight up until the 6th Round. Going back to Erik, its his machismo combined with his boxing/brawling skills that people love him for.
Morales was over the hill in the first Pac fight. He didn't whoop anyone but he did outbox Pac. Basicalyy in the second and third fight he just gave the fans what they wanted to see. Got knocked out in both for it. Morales greatest little man/warrior ever. GUTS AND HEART made him great. Had he boxed instead of just letting everything go in most of his fights, he would probably still be prime right now. All boxing fans from all the world love him fr for his style though. How anyone can hate on Erik is a ****ing insult to the sport of boxing. Morales in his prime was better way better than Pac will ever be and that **** is not even close.
I'll agree, he outboxed and outclassed Pac in their first fight. That's just a given. He was also outboxing Pac in the early rounds of the rematch before he 'magically' gassed out or was washed up according to people here. there goes another one.."Prime Morales would have beaten Pac". Why do people have to put somebody down to make themselves feel better about their boxer?
Both are great fighters so lets stop this. Im a big Morales fan and i would say Morales was washed up. The fight with Raheem showed it. When i watched that fight i knew it was over for him. It made me very sad being that he was the boxer i looked up to. He had the skills but chose to please us. I thank him for that even though it cut his career short by 2-3 years. Does anyone else miss him like me already??
being a big fan of his, i have a lot of morales film at home and watch it whenever i'm bored. intangibles really defined the guy. iron chin, iron will. skill wise if he wanted to box he was a good 'long' fighter. solid jab and a good right hand, which was his bread and butter. good uppercut as well which he abused guys like ayala, juarez, zaragosa with. good timing, which made up for his lack of athleticism. had a varied attack, going for the head and body. one of the interesting facts about him imo was that he used to work with floyd sr. on his defense, i wonder how those sessions worked out hehe.
For me his best attribute is his ability to make a mean tamale but as a fighter, it would just be his well balanced boxing ability
You again!? why do you hate so damn much. Go start a **** Morales thread or something punk. then see what people say to it. I hate the pinoys like you ****en got one good fighter and brag about him like he is some sort of god. I guess its the only thing that gives you guys something to talk about.
Dude shouldn't you be singing karaoke in a mall or something. Boxing is not for you . I know you have discovered a Manny just recently but damn he is not a god like Morales is. I like Pac but come on dude watch more boxing.
