Undefeated World Boxing Organization Oriental super bantamweight champion Ciso ?Kid Terrible? Morales will defend his title against Tanzania?s Hussein Pazzi on July 26, on the undercard of the planned title defense of WBO bantamweight champion Gerry Penalosa at the Araneta Coliseum.
Well known promoter and boxing manager Sammy Gello-ani told Viva Sports/Manila Standard Today during a quick business trip to Manila that Pazzi is no patsy and has a respectable record of 17 wins against 8 losses and one draw with 7 wins by knockout. He is coming off back-to-back wins against Kassim Hamis (second round KO) and Isalu Mula (unanimous decision.)
Morales, regarded as among the many promising young fighters on the fringes of world recognition, has a record of 11-0 with 7 knockouts and is coming off a fifth round TKO over South Korea?s Yoo Shin Kim last April 6 at the Araneta Coliseum. Morales won the WBO Oriental title in a hard-fought encounter with Indonesia?s Marangin Marbun in Tubod, Lanao del Norte last February 9.
Gello-ani disclosed that should the July 26 card headlined by Penalosa?s title defense push through ? and there were strong indications it would ? then he plans to bring in popular Mexican Oscar ?Chololo? Larios (60-6-1, 37 KO?s) to face Indonesia?s Aleksander ?The Black Horse? Bajawa (36-3-2, 11 KO?s)in a super featherweight bout.
The 31 year old Larios who won the WBC Latino super featherweight title last February 22 gamely battled Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao over twelve rounds on July 2, 2006 before dropping a unanimous decision.
Bajawa who is 25 has lost his last two fight suffering a painful ninth round TKO to Victor Manon in a close bout last April 5 and a fifth round knockout at the hands of undefeated Thai slugger Saddam Kietyouyuth (13-0, 9 KO?s) on January 26.
