A 34-year-old, three-division titlist, Mexico’s Erik Morales (51-6, 35 knockouts) was the last man to hand a loss to eight-division and WBO welterweight (147 pounds) titlist Manny Pacquiao, doing so in March of 2005 by unanimous decision.
On April 9, Morales will face former WBA interim junior welterweight (140 pounds) titlist Marcos Rene Maidana (29-2, 27 KOs) of Argentina in a Golden Boy Promotions clash on HBO.
FanHouse spoke to fans in Los Angeles regarding the return to prominence of Morales.
