LAS VEGAS - Manny Pacquiao is a solid 3-1 favorite to beat Erik Morales in their epic 12-round showdown at the Thomas and Mack Center here tonight (tomorrow morning, Manila). The climax to the trilogy is billed the "Grand Finale" because the consensus is the rubber match will end conclusively.


Pacquiao’s manager Shelly Finkel predicted the Filipino will knock out Morales after the fourth round.

Former World Boxing Council secretary-general Rudy Salud said the other day the drop in weight from 142 pounds a month ago will lessen Morales’ power and make it easier for Pacquiao to mow down the Mexican.

Morales Wants Espinosa

Former World Boxing Council (WBC) superflyweight champion Gerry Peñalosa begins his climb back to title contention when he faces tough Yang Sang Ik of Korea tentatively on May 13 at the Casino Filipino in Parañaque.

Yang, a southpaw like Peñalosa, invaded Cebu in 1997 and knocked out Ric Magramo in the eighth round to win the WBC International lightflyweight crown. So fighting on hostile soil is nothing new to the hard-hitting Korean who boasts a record of 19-7, with 13 stoppages -- six inside three rounds.

Yang is coming off a loss on points to Pich [DatePublished] => 2000-03-21 00:00:00 [ColumnID] => 133272 [Focus] => 0 [AuthorID] => 1804869 [AuthorName] => Joaquin M. Henson [SectionName] => Sports [SectionUrl] => sports [URL] => ) ) )
