Trashing talking trainer takes aim at Morales’ hunger
I tend to regard Freddie Roach as a benevolent tutor type, but the man has a knack for trash talking.
His guy Manny Pacquiao (42-3-2) will get it on with Erik Morales for the third time on November 18, at the Thomas & Mack Center, and the mischievous Roach took the opportunity to poke fun at Morales, who is like he’s far, far, far away from the super featherweight limit. I’m guessing junior middleweight, maybe more…
“On November 18, Manny Pacquiao will have Erik Morales eating his heart out,” Roach said. “And by the looks of Erik at the recent press conference, that seems to be the ONLY thing Erik hasn’t eaten.”
Joking aside, this corpulence does not bode well for Morales, who is on a two fight losing streak, has been in more wars than the Israelis and the Palestinians, and is a relatively ancient 29. The 48-4 Morales of course has ample time to trim down but that is both a mental and physical strain, while Pac Man stays reasonably close to 135 pounds in between fights.
If I was a bettin’ man, recent photographic evidence that Morales is indulging in any and all eats would send me to the window to plunk down major moolah on Pacquiao to go to 2-1 against the legend from Tijuana…
The only way Morales can defeat Pacquiao in the Grand Finale is by accident!!!!!
The manner Pacquiao has been “behaving” recently, the “Pacman: might just be facing the biggest “shocker” of his life.
On Nov 18, the only fighter who will be able to beat Manny is Manny himself. With the way Erik looked at the press con, we dont need an expert to tell us how plump and heavy he was. Erik’s problem now is losing a lot of weight, then train for the fight. But for Manny, weight is not an issue. He only has to train. Thats a big difference, right there. If Manny comes in overconfident and ill-trained, he’ll repeat the sins of the past and might end up losing the same way he did in the 1st fight. It’s in Manny hands, or should i say fists.
No doubt Pacman can still destroy Eric Morales, but BOXING IS A BIG BUSINESS! what would you think if Eric Morales loss, its the END of him, he cannot be saleable anymore.but if he wins WOW! a very good business! if Paman loss or intend to lose, its not the end of his career, he’s still saleable Barrera is still there, still a good business! Pacman will lose this time intentionally because BOXING IS A BIG BUSINESS!!!
In the first place, why Morales should ask for a rematch if he feels his weight is disadvantageous to him.
It seems he has a feeling that he’s losing the fight even if it hasn’t started yet by making weight as excuses.
Did you ever heard Pac say Morales is bigger and has longer arms?
You can’t have all the things in life the way you want it to be. Get by and make do the most of all you got.
The difference between the first and second fight is the CLETO gloves plus Manny’s excellence superhuman conditioning. The result: He demolished Morales and broke him down piece by piece and Morales just ran out of steam to withstand the bombs and lightning reflexes of Pacman.
Granting both men climb the ring at the same level of conditioning and preparation which will be likely as off the eyes of the public press, the factors that made made PACMAN win in the second game are too much to deny him a victory on the third match. Manny has been training in his hometown GenSan as he normally does before flying to the US. While Eric has been working to loose weight and loose more of it, Manny is already ready next week to make it to 130 lbs.
When Manny starts climbing the Hilly park of LA, his hermit-like focus in training camp takes over and that will be an added problem for Morales.
To compound to the Morales camp’s puzzle is the CLETO and the new found arsenal of Pacman PLUS the undeniable advantage of PACMAN being THE younger fighter.
Thse factors if Eric can exceed, supercede or overcome but certainly he CAN NOT ignore the huge advantage Pacman has going into the third chapter.
I believe no body in 130 can beat pacman… not even morales, barrera, guzman, barios or even valero.. nothing of this guys have the speed and power that pacman has. the only thing that can beat pacman is by running a vice mayor on 2007.
roach got an existing bad blood with morales. morales pulled out the proverbial beast in freddie by insulting him right after the 1st fight. roach is just giving back what morales gave to him in the past
Roach is a beautiful trainer, Manny is a fighter full of heart and refuses to lose, Morales is a mexican warrior that would die in the ring before losing. Manny showed determination and heart in their last fight. One thing you ppl dont understand and underestimate is the Mexican heart. Boxing runs in our veins. We are amongst the greatest warriors in boxing. come Nov. 18th Pacquiao is going to experience the fight of his life. Morales knows what mistakes he made and WILL correct them. Manny will be surprised and confused. Morales will be Chavez,Barerra, and delahoya all in one nov 18th. The Mexican heart will prevail! Manny is one of the best fighters i’ve ever seen. He’s just gonna have to honor this beating as he did the first one.
THE FIRST FIGHT BETWEEN THE EM AND MP… IS NOT CONVINCING I THINK MANNY LOST BECAUSE HE WAS CUT IN THE 5TH.. EM ALMOST WENT DOWN IN THE 12.. AND IF CAN RECALL ABOUT THE BLOOD.. IF YOU WILL WATCH AGAIN THE FIRST FIGHT YOU CAN REALY TELL THAT EM IS NOTHING TO PACQUIAO… I AM REALY SURE THAT EM FOUGHT IN A NICE CONDITION IN THE 2ND FIGHT EM IS WISE ENOGH HE HIRED TRAINERS AND SPARMATES TO MAKE HIS CONDITION STRONG.. ANALIZE IT STEP BY STEP WOULD YOU THINK EM WILL FIGHT IN THE RING IF HE KNEW THAT HIS NOT IN GOOD SHAPE??? FOR EM JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU LOST, YOUV GOT ko BY A STRONGER ,FASTER, AND MUCH HARDER PUNCHER. THAT HIM… IF HE IS REALY NOT IN GOOD SHAPE IN THE 2ND FIGHT HE CANT STAY WITH MANNY IN 10 ROUNDS… AS IF YOU SEE IN THE FIGHT IN THE 2ND ROUND ERIC WAS HIT IN THE JAW AND TOOK HIM TO HOLD THE ROPES RIGHT.. BUT HE STILL CLAMING THAT HE LEADS THE FIGHT BUT HE GETS TIRED HAHAHA FOR ERIC AGAIN WATCH THE FIGHT AGAIN AND KISS YOUR ASS… YOU ARE A GREAT FIGHTER,LEGEND. BUT MANNY IS MUCH BETTER… HE HAS A POWERFULL LEFT AND THE DAMAGE IN ERIC MORALES BODY STILL WORKING INSIDE… YOU CAN NOT TEACH AN OLD DOG A NEW TRICK.. THE CHANCES FOR EM FOR PACQUIAO THIS RUBBER MUCTH WILL BE 30 70% BUT IF PACQUIAO TAKE HIM LIGHTLY ERIC MIGHT WIN IN A 30% POSIBILITY… HOPE YOU HAVE A COPY THE VIDEOS TOO SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT AM I TRYING TO TELL YOU FOLKS GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU AND TO BOUGHT FIGHTER GOD BLESS US ALL TY…
My friends it does not matter how much blood and how badly cut you are. If you are a true warrior you will suck it up. I dont think manny ever legitimately used the cut as an excuse for losing the fight. I believe Manny’s exact words were ” He has a different difficult style”. Their first fight Manny thought he was going to run over erik like the rest of the mexican fighters he fought. Perfect example is when Manny knocked down Marquez 2 times in the first round and had him bloodied from the nose where the guy could barely breathe throughout the fight but yet Marquez sucked it up and got a draw out of that fight. That is true mexican heart right there! When Manny pacquiao Lost to Erik He honored it. He even cried on National television. He was a humble warrior about it and admited He had never faced a fighter like Morales. If you watch their first fight Paquiao was confused and was relying on his left hand to do the job. Morales even switched to southpaw in the last round to give the crowd a show. I believe the cut issue is an excuse Manny Pacquiao fans are using for him. He never used that excuse. Its boxing. Fighters get cut and keep on fighting.
you’re right mr. dreamboy! EM is really really nothing but a crap of old dogs now! i noticed that too dude. in their 1st fight, manny just could’nt find his target on early round until he got headbutted accidentally on 5th round and his blood is taking it’s toll on MP. but MP showd a lot of heart later between 9th to 12th and he is a real cocky matador but the fight is only 12 rounds and if that fight is going 15, EM will kiss the canvass as he is slowly fading from 11th to 12th round. on the 2nd fight manny got wiser until he wasted no time hitting EM left and right booms to the body and head the very 1st bell. this coming 3rd fight maybe EM is a more conditioned but he’s still no match with MP’s power and stamina. 10-3 in favor of MP. Mabuhay!!!!
I agree with the cut argument with MexicansRwarriors, matter of fact, I don’t even call distractions as an excuse. Manny said in the first fight that he was 100% physcially ready but not 100% mentally ready. Though in my opinion, Pacquiao had the tools to beat Morales the first time, but didn’t use it and didn’t listen to Roach. At the end, I think everyoen forgot this that MANNY THOUGHT HE WON; Manny thought he was winning rounds (another example: Viloria’s loss to Omar, at the end of the fight, Viloria raised his hands as if he thought he won the bout). Sure the cut on his eye may have had a factor to Pacquiao losing, but I wouldn’t call it an excuse.
Like I said, Im afraid for Pacquiao because of the distractions (especially in the Philippines). Though even though he had mad distractions before the Larios fight, Pacquiao came out successful…though Larios is no Morales.
My prediction on who’s going to win: I don’t know
This time it will be worst for EM. Can u imagine Manny in his peak while Morales is his twillight of his career? Its already painted in the wall. Nobody can go against the Law of Nature. For me, its only the “Purse” what Morales is after for.. Bye bye… Erik. Make sure you don’t end up in the hospital.
My prediction? Obviously… Manny. What we are afraid of is that.. what is going to happen to Erik in the later rounds. You have seen the head of Erik that twirled!
Manny in politics? He has everything to lose and nothing to gain!
He is better off in going around the country and share his blessings…
The trash talking doesn’t really matter. What matters is who’s gonna be the more conditioned fighter come fight night. Erik has many things going through his head right now…age, losing streak, weight…He has to give evrything he’s got right now for him to win. The momentum is on Manny’s side as well as the odds. Manny as seroius as he always is when it comes to training, will go all out come fight night. Manny keeps on improving every fight. Manny fights with a lot of heart, aside from his great power, awesome speed and footwork. He’s a total package. Come fight night, this will be the greatest fight of the trilogy.
Let’s see who is the better man in november 18 match, manny will prove that can win even without a knock-out. Trash talking is part of the game and even morales tries to sell himself by giving some excuses.
I cant wait to see this fight, goodluck to Manny and Erik.
Buenos Dias!
mabuhay ang Pilipinas.
november 18 will be the legal holiday of all places in the philippines. cz one thing for sure it would the biggest celebration in the century cz
manny will send erik to the canvas and ended up his career.
that what nustradamos said.
Siguradong talo si Eric Morales! Period….. Wala halung biro, kinakabahan ang pupusta kay Eric Morales. Sa mga Pinoy na walang tiwala sa kapwa nya filipino ..sige pumusta kayo at ehto na ang panahon para magkaisa tayo. Believe what you belief because it is true what you believe! O anu boksingan na…. matira matira matibay. Pilipino pa! Eh kung ang filipino ay nakikipagsapalaran sa iraq eh si Manny pa kaya. Sinong tao sa mundo ang matitibay kundi mga filipinong katulad natin. Everything we will win if we are unite! thats all dudes!
no doubt Pacman will win on Nov. 18 100% itaga mo sa bato!! Go Pacman!!!
Look Erik is most likey to lose this fight You people cheering for Morales are gonna be really upset soon the 2nd fight Morales was clearly out pointing Pacquiao, Then the one round came and Boom Morales is messed up and Erik is getting old, but it is alittle pre-mature for that to happen right now. This is what i’m going to think for the fight in the first Rounds Erik is going to try and counter punch pacquiao, and study him in the fight and use his jab to keep him away, but this time he will have better conditioning and I think he’s doing the right thing, Meanwhile pacquiao right now is undergoing his hardest training program of this career which I think Morales should be doing, but while pacquiao is training as hard as he can Morales will be trying to lose weight since he maybe weights about 150 even 160 maybe, but i think it will win And we dont know maybe pac will have a new punch idk so this fight is going to be a very good fight, but I still have my money on Manny
I had enough in Pacquiao-Morales 2.
Same result but more bloody outcome.
If Eric M could not finished off a half blind Pacman in MP-EM 1, got demolished in 10 rounds in MP-EM 2. How in the world could eric win on Nov?
theres no way EM will beat manny, except when he gets headbutted again. so manny watch his head.i can see no problem with ur style manny, u got incredible speed and power,great abs.my worry is ur chin,its vulnerable.larios’ strengten his chin by lifting weights through mouth, i think it works.he was able to finish the fight even he was getting hit several times by big shots on the chin.just an advice,put extra work on ur chin.buboy take charge.
MORALES WILL WIN.
Morales = Dead
Morales is living in a dream world beating pacquiao is going to be very very hard and is foolish for going into a rematch (Prolly doesn’t want to lose again)
Also Erik is trying to pull off a Rocky story win
Im a pacfan but if manny doesn’t stop making tv ads and start training hard for the fight, he might end up beaten by morales. It’s morales’ most important fight and manny’s taking it easy. Pacman’s the best but he’s surrounded by distractions. These people are his real enemies and might just get him beat.
Many will kiss a canvass becase of over confident, but if he will trained as hard as he can in the last week before the fight he will beat Mrales inside the 7th round
Manny will go down and kiss the canvas making him just like your average bum. Its too bad. He will go down because Morales will hit him with an uppercut.
HEY Morales fans! what now huh???…3rd round was too early for your man to get knocked out…..Manny Paquiao is jus too fast and strong for your mexican warrior! ha!
