This Saturday on HBO Erik 'El Terrible' Morales, 48-2 (34), will face off against the 'Z-man' Zahir Raheem, 28-0 (16). While there are many who see this fight as a mere formality on the way to a Morales and Manny Pacquiao rematch, others are seeing this as a competitive bout and possible upset situation. This fight pits two skilled boxers against each other, one with an unquestionable warrior spirit, and the other with speed and skill that can befuddle many an opponent.
Manny Pacquiao is fighting on the same card, and should he and Morales both win, they'll meet (again) early next year. As you all know, Morales out-pointed Pac Man in their first encounter in earlier this year. It was mos def one of the best fights I've seen this year (second only to Corrales v. Castillo), and I'm counting the minutes until they do it again.
