The three time divisional champion Erik “Terrible” Morales of Tijuana, MX, stated recently in Monterrey, MX, the city of his comeback bout versus Jose Alfaro on March 27, that if he were to lose, he would retire immediately from the ring.
“Without a doubt and if that were to happen, there would’t be anything left to look for,” he stated. “It will be retirement and no more, no farewell fight, that is for those fighters that don’t have anything left.”
The Morales-Alfaro twelve round bout will be for the WBC International welterweight title and will be held at the modern Arena Monterrey.
“I have respect for the fans and I am going to do things right and if they don’t go my way, we must admit to it,” the 33-year-old fighter stated in a press conference held in Monterrey.
Despite his statements, Morales is confident that he will be victorious against Alfaro, who lost fought and lost to Antonio DeMarco late last year, because he hopes his return is for two more years and then he would definitely say good bye to the squared circle.
As far as the former champion Jose Alfaro, 26, stated that Erik Morales “is past his prime, he had his best moments in another time and I don’t know what he is trying to prove. He has already been a three time world champion and I don’t know what else he is trying to prove.”
“He is doing the wrong thing fighting with me,” Alfaro added.
Alfaro also mentioned that by beating Morales, it could only help his career and secure him bigger and better fights.
