Erik was reported to have brittle hands, that's why he was "forced" to like Winning gloves. Thicker synthetic foam padding around the knuckle area. Consistent padding that never bunches up and gets thinner and more compacted as the fight goes on, like a Cleto Reyes glove. I'm sure Erik would have also liked Cletos, if he had sturdier hand bones. Plus, he had an endorsement deal with Winnings Japan, so he had to use them all the time. PS: I wish Manny never changed his red/orange/black flaming trunks, and used them throughout his career and made it a trademark of his. Like Chico and his army fatigues, or Ali's short white trunks with black trim.
I like that idea but nothing beats Pacquiao wearing Nike. You know, one of the reasons *****s hate Pac? LOL
yea the no fear brand goes really well with Pac. btw, I understand that Morales wants to wear Winning gloves if he has brittle hands, but why would he force Pac to wear them?
one of the best fights of our generation. truly amazing. 12th round was some epic **** man. lampley and merchant sounded like they just jizzed and roy was luvin it.
Maybe the promoters had something to do with it. Any little thing to tilt the balance in your favour would be nice. At that time, Erik can beat Pac by TKO, KO or decision. But Manny, he might beat him by TKO or KO only, most probably. Lessens the chances of a dramatic, come from behind, one punch KO.
What did he do to you man? I know you can tell us. It's okay dude. Just point to the doll and tell us where he touched you.
amazing fight and great video. Morales truly defines what a real ****in warrior is. the man puts his all in whether he wins or loses and shows very little emotion before, during and after his fights...straight business. he'll always be one of my favorites. :good
That fight is exactly why Mayweather will never receive the same respect Pac Man will. He is a warrior and an ATG.
