Erik Morales ( 48-6-0, 34 KOs) squares off with Jose "Jicaras" Alfaro (23-5, 20 KOs) for the vacant WBC Intercontinental welterweight crown.

The iconic Mexican warrior returns to the ring on a mission to become the first Mexican world champion in four different weight classes. His road to this mission will not be easy. Morales takes on former WBA lightweight champion Jose "Jicaras" Alfaro, a K.O artist, for the vacant WBC Intercontinental welterweight crown.



"I’m happy to be here (in Monterrey) and completely ready to face Alfaro," Morales said. "Fans will see a different Erik Morales than in my last few fights because now I’m hungry to win this fight and go on towards winning a world title in my fourth division. I want to prove to everyone watching that all of the hard work in training camp will result in a great performance in my return to the ring."

Fight Hype

Will Erik "El Terrible" Morales proves his still has balls on boxing? For sure its not going to be an easy road for him. With Jose "Jaracas" Alfaro's boxing record and reputation as a knockout artist, its going to be a very exciting bout.

My bet goes to Alfaro. How about you?
