AS a rising young boxer Ciso ?Kid Terrible? Morales still has a lot prove to the boxing fans if he really is the real deal when he tries to defend his World Boxing Organization Oriental super bantamweight crown for the second time against the dangerous Thai Narongnoi Sor Muankalang at the Cebu Coliseum tonight.
Aside from defending his belt, Morales will also gun to extend his unblemished record of 11 wins, 7 knockout record and another win could also open a window of opportunities for better fights in the future.
Promoter Samson Gello-ani has promised Morales that if he wins tonight, he will get a chance to fight in the undercard of Gerry Pe?alosa?s title defense in September.
?I can?t guarantee it but I?ll try my best to knock him out. They say that my opponent is good but I won?t let him steal my crown,? Morales said during the press conference last Thursday.
The challenger has a record of 9 wins, one loss with 5 knockouts.
Meanwhile, after a successful campaign in Australia, Ranee ?KO Kid? Ganoy will be fighting in Cebu City for the first time in his career against another Thai warrior Sapapetch Sor Sakaorat.
Ganoy?s almost four-year stay in Australia earned him 11 wins in 14 contests.
He also fought some of the best pugilists down under, like Robbie Peden, whom he knocked out in the 8th round of their bout for the vacant International Boxing Federation Pan Pacific title last year, and Michael Katsidis, who decked him in the fifth round.

The 36-year-old Batawang has an impressive record of 47 wins, 7 losses with 36 knockouts, while Soralla has 23 wins, 13 losses and 3 draws with 6 knockouts.
