did anyone see the interview with him on ringside last week.... he was hardly recogniseable...... his face was round, rather than the skeleton look we are used to.... I couldnt stop laughing

Yeah, I was watching it with Tony. We both laughed spontaneously at how fat he was.

I was a little suprised when he moved up to Super-Featherweight, but after seeing that interview I can see why he did it.

perhaps him and Naz could fight for the IBO middleweight title

He's quite tall too, so heaven knows how much he weighed at that point.

i would say 154 -160?????

gotta be more. when he fought at feather he probably entered the ring at close to 10stone and still looked like a skeleton

Having given it a bit more thought, your right, I will re-evaluate my guess at around 155ibs+.

quote from eastside

There were questions about Morales’ struggle to make weight, once again. He seems to torture himself to make weight. He looked dried up and weakened during the official weigh-in. Ayala made the 126-pound weight easily and even looked good doing so. Amazingly, only 24 hours later, Morales weighed 138 lbs. Ayala came in at 139! I have to wonder, why don’t they just fight at Lightweight (135 lbs.) since that’s what they really are. But we all know it’s more complicated than that.

We are not the only ones to have noticed Morales weight gain between fights.

Adds quite an interesting dimension to the Hernadez fight though, doesn't it?

He (Hernandez) is not the kind of guy you would want to find yourself running out of juice against.

Whilst he doesn't hit that hard, he throws alot of leather and could overwhelm an exhausted Morales.

Still picking El Terrible though.

Me to by late stoppage, should be an entertaining fight.

Morales is utter class, he and Barrera both meet the best time after time (including one another) and if he beats Hernendez then Morales is a serious claimant for P4P IMO.
