Naseem Hamed vs Erik Morales At FW

With or without roids?

 

114-110 Morales
There will be knockdowns in the fight - Hamed was always dropped by good opposition.
The fight will be definitely be closer than the Barrera fight.

 

Hamed couldn't knockdown Peter Buckley in 2 fights and 10 rounds.
Second fight stoppage was 100% total bull****.

Peter Buckley had a good chin / defence though and if you don't count robberies probably has more wins than most boxers ever. (Should have around 150)

He certainly isn't going to KO an elite like Morales.
He isn't going to win either.

 

Not going to win and not last the distance either.Reckon Morales would have been the hardest puncher with the longest reach hed face by a long chalk.

 

I think Erik is able to what MAB couldn't quite pull off. I envision Erik up about 6-3 on the cards when he stops Hamed in the middle of the 10th.

 

Not sure I understand this one....2 of the judges scored MAB by 3 (with the 3rd by 5)...How is a 4 point differential closer than that???

 

Hamed via TKO. Morales would have a scrap with Naz, and there's only going to be one winner there I'm afraid.

 

The Barrera fight was that close.

Morales should win a decision over the Hamed who fought Augie Sanchez on. Before that, I think I'd favor Hamed by decision in a fight that would resemble a closer version of the Cesar Soto and McCollough(sp?) fights.

 

This would be much like the Barrera fight..
Morales by KO around the 7th or 8th.

 

Boxrec has Hamed listed at 5'4 and a half,but I don't think he was even that tall - I've seen him listed as being 5'3 plenty of times in the past.Morales is a guy that would enjoy possibly a five inch height advantage,and a significant reach advantage over Hamed,and he was always really good at boxing from range.And Hamed's style will allow Morales to fight from that distance,so,on paper,it doesn't look too good.


That being said,I'd favour Hamed to spark Morales out within four of five rounds.It just seems like the logical choice,ya know?

 

Morales had an iron chin but hamed sparked lots of fighters with good chins,Morales would have a war with him and is easy to hit,Hamed by ko in around 8 rounds,Morales would probably be up on the scorecards before being sparked..

 

Morales by decision.

 

He was a 5'3 Bitchboy..
