Lost Wages, Nevada: Mexicans and Latin Americans appreciate their boxing.

They are today?s most ardent fans of the fight game.

Now fans in their own right, Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera, who fought thrice in hall-of-fame performances, have picked their one-time tormentor Manny Pacquiao to triumph over Keith ?One Time? Thurman.

Recorded by PhilBoxing.com at yesterday?s press conference (MGM Grand Arena) for the Manny Pacquiao-Keith Thurman and Caleb ?Sweet Hands? Plant-Mike Lee title bouts, Senor Morales and Senor Barrera share their unified support for Manny Pacquiao.

Mr. Jaime Mota (blow-by-blow announcer) will join Hall of Famer Erik Morales (analysis) for the Spanish language outfit called Fox Deportes.



PhilBoxing.com greatly appreciate Mr. Mota?s help so we do not get lost in translation.

Arriba!
