This past Friday, former world champion Erik “Terrible” Morales began his sparring sessions for his March 27th comeback against Nicaragua’s Jose Alfaro in Monterrey, MX. Morales has been in the Otomi Mountains in southeastern Mexico for two weeks in preparation for his first fight after a two-year hiatus.
“I am very motivated in returning to the top again with my original team,” Morales, who is trained by his father, stated.
A three divisional WBC champion, super bantamweight, featherweight and superfeatherweight, Morales hopes to win a fourth title in either lightweight or jr. welterweight to become the first Mexican fighter to do so.
“I have felt great in training and I have been able to handle the work load,” Morales added. “On March 27th I will be in great physical condition.”
He also mentioned that he has lowered his weight considerably and will have no trouble in making the 142 lbs. catch weight for the Alfaro bout scheduled for the Arena Monterrey.
“After my break I have felt great. My rest did me good and I will show that I can continue in boxing,” he said.
Good luck. You had some memorable fights for the ages
