ANBER: WHAT WAS MORALES THINKING?
By Boxing News October 19th, 2005
Weeks after the fact, people are still talking about Erik Morales’ loss to Zahir Raheem at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. On this edition of the Russ Anber Show, the veteran Canadian trainer and co-host of “In This Corner with Russ Anber” on The Sports Network (tsn.ca), sdmits he can’t understand the kind of rationale that would have put Morales in the ring with Raheem in the first place. He talks to Charles Jay of Boxing Channel Radio about that, the future of Raheem, the Pacquiao-Morales rematch, and the wisdom of fighters “biting off more than they can chew” in often vainglorious attempts to move up and conquer other weight divisions.

Morales vs Pacquiao II: Eric needs 100 solid jabs before he could bring Manny on his knees. While Pacman will only need one solid punch. It was that nasty cut that aided Morales to victory when they first met. This time I don’t think Pacman will let this fight go the distance. A devastating 3rd round KO will send Morales’ fans wondering whether a third match is necessary.

Training makes a person different Mr. Anber. You are saying that whatever training you will give to Pacquiao he will not respond to that training. Are you really a boxing trainer? Or do you know how to train? And you are also saying that Freddie Roach is not a good trainer? Come on Anber, be fair in your comments. Now you eat all what you said about the rematch result on Pacquiao and Morales.
