Morales To Fight Again On December

   Former multi-division champion and Mexican legend Erik "El Terrible" Morales is really eager to get back on top as he is expected to return to the ring on December 18 against a yet to be determined opponent for the WBC Silver super lightweight title at the fighter's hometown, Tijuana, Mexico.

   This will be Morales's third fight since his return last March and a win against his opponent will make way for a title fight against the winner of Juan Manuel Marquez-Michael Katsidis bout.



(TheBloggerSays: Erik is really squeezing what's left on him. A true warrior indeed, with this kind of attitude, I think Erik will stay for a while.)

El Terrible is Back!

   Known for his trilogy fights with fellow countryman Marco Antonio Barrera and Filipino Manny Pacquiao, former 3-division title holder Erik "El Terrible" Morales made his awaited return to the boxing ring against Jose Alfaro as a welterweight yesterday, March 27 at Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico.


  Morales, (49-6, 34 KO) now 33, captured the vacant WBC International welterweight title against Alfaro (20-3, 18 KO) in a unanimous victory. Prior to the fight, Morales stated that he wanted to face Pacquiao again for the fouth time as well as Juan Manuel Marquez.


  “One must pursue the dream” Morales said, “Defeating Pacquiao is my greatest accomplishment in the ring. I remember seeing him cry after our fight. I would love another chance at Pacquaio and I also look forward to fighting Juan Manuel Marquez in the future.”


El Terrible is also known as the last man who defeated Pacquiao, the fighter who is considered as todays best. In March 2005, Morales won a unanimous victory that left Pacquiao bloodied. The two faced each other again in January and November 2006 which both resulted in a knock-out win for Pacquiao after 10 and 3 rounds respectively.
