Dont really like this fight, cant really see Moralesdoing anything to change the outcome of it either. If anything Garica should take it even clearer, maybe even stop Erik.
Seeing as Morales will be even older and Garcia will have more experience.. I'd say it's likely to just be wider than the first fight. Bit of a crap matchup if it actually gets made IMO. Even though he beat Khan more decisively, a rematch with Khan would be much more interesting.
But in fairness the first fight between them was quite entertaining so it wouldn't be all bad. Still don't see the point though
If the winner can face Marquez we could see either Garcia turn into a superstar or Marquez solidify his status (imo) as one of the greatest fighters of the last 25 years.
Garcia defeated former WBC champion Morales earlier this year and the Mexican veteran has activated a rematch clause.
The fight will headline the first night of boxing at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, with Paul Malignaggi set to defend his WBA welterweight title on the undercard.
Mexican Pablo Cano, who holds the 'regular' WBA title at light-welter, has been approached to step up and take on Malignaggi although talks are thought to be ongoing.
Garcia's date with Morales means a rematch with Amir Khan before year's end is highly unlikely.
The Briton had been hoping to have another crack at Garcia in December following his devastating stoppage loss earlier this month, but the American is set for a well-earned break after three big fights in 2012.
