    I will enjoy this fight. Morales COULD win but most likely he will completely outclass Garcia in spots but not do much in other parts of the fight. Don't get me wrong, Garcia won't do much either but the judges seemed to love his looping, ineffectual shots the first time so i am guessing they will score the same this time as well

    I don't see why not. Garcia won the first fight by the skin of his teeth and looked mediocre doing it, and Morales was out-of-shape. In-shape Morales could give him another go.

    Morales will get Ko'ed and not because Garcia is real good its because Morales seen his days.

    He has a chance I'd say. Its hard to know how ready he really was for that first fight after surgery, or how hard he was able to train. He did come in heavy, so that might state he didn't get a proper camp. That's the variable.

    If he comes in healthy and on weight, he could make things very interesting. He may be old in ring years, but he does bring a **** load of experience with him into the ring. I would not be surprised at all if this fight is much more exciting than some people are thinking right now. Garcia will have to work hard to earn the win.

    He couldn't prepare properly last time since he didn't have enough time to recover from his operation and he still gave Garcia a good fight.

    With a full training camp, healthy, of course Morales has a chance.

    Garcia-Matthysse would never get made. I think every top 140 pounder will do their best to avoid Matthysse. Except Khan. He seems to be a guy who fights for the fans.

    We can only hope. Garcia will be oozing confidence though after his last 2 fights though.

    I was very surprised how easily Morales would pick Garcia apart at times. It seemed as if Morales had more energy he could have won the fight.

    You can never count a guy like Moralez out... but with that said I do believe that Garcia will come alot more confident into this fight and he will probably look alot better then the first fight.

    Erik just is not active enough at this stage... in his prime he was a fighter that threw a lot of punches with great technique... now he`s a fighter that only has his technique to rely on.

    No doubt a younger Morales would **** on fighters like Garcia or Khan but even as a massive Morales fan, its hard for me to see how he can beat Garcia, he`s naturally smaller & wont be able to KO Garcia & as said above, cannot outwork the younger fighters anymore like he used to in his best days.

    Even in rounds were Erik is landing the cleaner, better looking shots he will likely be outworked so winning a decision is going to be very difficult... I hope I`m wrong, lets see I suppose.

    I didn`t know about surgery last time, I found out the result of the fight before viewing it & didn`t bother watching it... I heard it was a clear enough win for Garcia tho so I just assumed Morales was all done... if the surgery thing is true & it did affect him then we might be in for one last effort from the great warrior, maybe.

    You don't know which Morales will show up on October 20th. He could win a UD. Or Garcia could knock him out!
