I love Morales this weekend -110.
He won the 1st fight and the 2nd one will be just as exciting.
Pac-Man has no defense and Morales loves to dish out punishment.

As always, I will be watching it.
$45 is well worth seeing 2 guys go toe 2 toe for 12 rounds.

This should be a good fight, and it's winnable for Pacman if he comes out to dictate the pace of the fight. Morales looked like hell against Raheem, it could've just been an off night, it could be he got old in the ring. Pac needs to start just like he did against Marquez, and find out right quick if Morales still has it. He can't afford to let Morales settle in, or it will be a long night for him. He has the power to drop Morales, but if he lets Morales fight his fight, it'll be hard to get the knockdown or a ko, when you're getting hammered to the body, and always having to counter. Morales has never been down, I believe, let alone KO'd, but as bad as he looked against Raheem, I don't rule anything out. Both guys are always in shape, Morales is the better boxer, but he has nothing against a good, old fashioned, brawl. I like a good trilogy, and I also like Pacman by a unanimous, razor thin decision. Setting up a rubber match late this year. This is the first big fight of the year, but if you want to make it a weekend of boxing, there is a Showbox card and ESPN's first card of the year tomorrow night.
