    It's smart to do this for goldenboy. Morales is everything Hopkins isn't aka entertaining.

    Amnesty International intervened. Human Rights Violation. It falls under torture.

    Morales can just mandate the fight be @ 126 and then show up at whatever weight he feels like.

    "oops i forgot about that part of the contract"

    sounds like they may be working towards JMM/Morales.

    Yep that's the plan for next spring I believe (or mid March-ish anyway).

    I'm with Neil on this one... Morales by very brutal KO in this fight would be absolutely fantastic.

    The Barrios kid is strong, awkward, and very unpredictable as to what his next punch will be.

    This fight could be trouble for Erik as he has lost the snap on the end of his shots due to his hurting hands.

    Perhaps his hands healed over the long time off, but the once wonderful Arguello-like snap is long gone, and he was pushing his punches starting way back with the second Barrera fight.

    Very risky fight for him as Barrios is as strong as a bull, but is also very open for counters, but you have to time him just right when he lunges in, and turn your shots over on the kid like Freitas and Rocky did.

    I am not going to venture a prediction on this one just yet, but it will be action-packed.
