[Title] => Five reasons why Erik could upset Manny
[Summary] =>
Manny Pacquiao is the logical favorite to win over Erik Morales in their scheduled 12-round rubber match at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas on Nov. 18.
The reasons are clear.
First, Pacquiao soundly whipped Morales in their second meeting last January and nobody had ever stopped "El Terrible" before.
Second, Morales has lost three of his last four outings and at 30, appears to be approaching retirement while Pacquiao, 27, is at the peak of his career.

[Title] => Pacquiao to fight like a pit bull, says Davidson
[Summary] => Beverly Hills lawyer Keith Davidson said yesterday Manny Pacquiao will fight Erik Morales like a pit bull in their scheduled 12-round bout at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas on Saturday night (Sunday morning, Manila).
Davidson, who with Nicholas Khan provides the legal dimension in Pacquiao’s management team led by Shelly Finkel, told The STAR in an e-mail from Los Angeles the fighter himself vowed that once he traps Morales, he’ll lock his jaws and not let him escape.

[Title] => Manny can KO Erik if he sticks to game plan
[Summary] => Beating Erik Morales is one thing. Knocking him out is another.
Difficult as it is, Manny Pacquiao’s chief handler Freddie Roach said it could happen when the two great fighters clash anew on Jan. 21 at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"I wouldn’t be surprised if Manny knocks out Morales," said Roach, the noted American trainer last Wednesday during a conference call Team Pacquiao hosted for a group of boxing writers.

[Title] => Pacquiao all focused, ready for revenge
[Summary] => Manny Pacquiao on Tuesday said his upcoming rematch with Erik Morales will be a completely different story now that he’s without the distractions that plagued him when he dropped a close but unanimous decision to the former three-time world champion last year.
Speaking at a conference to hype the Jan. 21 showdown at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Pacquiao, 40-3-2 (31 KOs), pointed to the disrupting subplots that unfolded around their first encounter, including one involving the fight gloves.

[Title] => Watch out, Morales
[Summary] => The die is cast. Manny Pacquiao is definitely fighting Erik Morales in a grudge rematch on Jan. 21, tentatively at the 22,000-seat Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said Morales? loss to Zahir Raheem in Los Angeles last Saturday (Sunday morning, Manila) won’t make a difference because the rematch is a fight that fans are itching to see.
Morales has already started beating the war drums for the bout. And he’s still sporting lumps from yielding a lopsided decision to Raheem.

[Title] => Slow start throws off Velazquez
[Summary] => For a change, Manny Pacquiao didn’t come out smoking in his fight against Hector Velazquez at the Staples Center in Los Angeles last Saturday night (yesterday morning, Manila) and it appeared to throw off the Mexican.
Known as a strong starter, Pacquiao seemed slow and lacked rhythm in the first two rounds which Velazquez took with relative ease. The early lead probably lulled Velazquez into a false sense of security because he never won a round again.

[Title] => Rematch nina Pacquiao at Morales baka ‘di matuloy
[Summary] => Posibleng hindi matuloy ang inaasahang rematch sa pagitan nina Erik Morales ng Mexico at Manny Pacquiao ng Philippines.
Isang malaking hadlang sa labang ito si Zahir Raheem na magiging mapanganib para kay Morales kung pagbabasehan ang kredensiyal ng una.
Maghaharap sina Morales at Raheem bilang co-main event ng Sep-tember 10 ‘Double Trou-ble’ bout sa Staples Center sa Los Angeles.
Si Raheem, tubong Philadelphia ay may ma-gandang record na 26 wins, 1 talo, 16 nito ay mu-la sa knockout wins bilang No. 6 sa WBC, No. 7 sa WBO at No. 10 naman sa WBA.

[Summary] => It’s do or die for former two-time world boxing champion Luisito Espinosa as he battles unbeaten Zahir Raheem in a scheduled 10-round bout at the Creek Nation Gaming Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma, tonight (tomorrow morning in Manila).
Espinosa, 35, is putting his career–or what’s left of it–on the line against Raheem, a flashy 1996 Olympian known for his lightning-quick jabs and impregnable defense. Raheem, 25, was only eight years old when Espinosa turned pro in 1984.
