Last night at the Caliente Racetrack in Tijuana, Mexico, three-division champion Erik Morales produced his third victory of the year with a close decision over Dominican Francisco Lorenzo. The 34-year old Morales figured that Lorenzo, a late sub for the often-troubled Jorge Barrios, would give him a decent scrap and the tight scorecards reading 116-111, 115-112, and 114-113 were a reflection of such.
