One of the things that Morales is looking at to suggest that he’ll win is Maidana’s power. Morales doubts whether Maidana punches as hard as his old nemesis Pacquiao, who beat Morales in two of the three times they fought. Morales said “Do you think he [Maidana] hits harder than Pacquiao, for instance?”

Morales says he has the style to beat Maidana

by

By Dan Ambrose: The last person you would think would have the style to beat the slugger Marcos Maidana (29-2, 27 KO’s) is 34-year-old Erik Morales (51-6, 35 KO’s), a smaller, fading slugger himself. Morales is like the super bantamweight division’s version of Maidana, except that Morales’ time at the top was from 1997 to 2005.

By Dan Ambrose: It’s sad that former three time world champion Erik Morales (51-6, 35 KO’s) is very likely on the verge of being ground up into hamburger by the heavy hitting Marcos Maidana (29-2, 27 KO’s) on April 9th at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Maidana vs. Morales: A win for Marcos could lead to Bradley

by

By Sean McDaniel: The hugely popular light welterweight contender Marcos Maidana (29-2, 27 KO’s) could find himself in a big money fight in the near future against WBC/WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley if Bradley can get by WBA Super World light welterweight champion Amir Khan in July. There is an excellent chance Bradley will win that fight, setting up a possible big money bout between Bradley and Maidana. Of course, Maidana still has to beat 34-year-old Erik Morales (51-6, 35 KO’s) next month on April 9th at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Morales, who is out of his class in terms of size and youth, isn’t expected beat Maidana.

Prediction: Maidana will destroy Morales on 4/9

by

By Jason Kim: The April 9th match-up between Marcos Maidana (29-2, 27 KO’s) and 34-year-old Erik Morales (51-5, 35 KO’s) will be a great example of what happens when you take a guy that’s been out of the ring for too long, make him up move up in weight several divisions, and then put him in with the hardest puncher in that division. Morales is going to get massacred in this fight and that’s basically all you can say about it.

Maidana vs. Morales: Erik will be lucky if he sees the 6th

by

By Jason Kim: Erik Morales (51-6, 35 KO’s) is gambling big by taking on knockout artist Marcos Maidana (29-2, 27 KO’s) on April 9th, hoping he can resurrect his career with a win over one of the most popular fighters in the light welterweight division. Morales, 34, is two divisions above the last time he was able to find any real success at super featherweight, and it’s pretty clear that Morales doesn’t belong at light welterweight.

Maidana vs. Morales: Erik in serious trouble in this fight

by

By William Mackay: If you’re a fan of 34-year-old Erik Morales (51-6, 35 KO’s), you might not want tune in on April 9th when Morales faces Marcos Maidana (29-2, 27 KO’s) at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Morales may have been a good fighter many years ago but he’s now aged to the point where he’s a B level fighter going up against one of the best punchers in the light welterweight division in the 27-year-old Maidana.
