This is why a tuneup fight is dangerous to take. WBO bantamweight champion Fernando Montiel suffered a deep cut above his left eye on Saturday night when he fought in a non-title bout against Alejandro Valdez on the Latin Fury card in Mexico. The fight was ruled a TKO win for Valdez after the fight was stopped due to a cut. Later it was ruled the fight was a no-contest.

Due to the amount of time needed for the cut to heal, his scheduled fight with mandatory Eric Morel is once again postponed. The fight has been postponed a number of times. It was scheduled to take place on the Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto undercard on November 14 in Las Vegas.

WBO president Francisco "Paquito" Valc�rcel told Primera Hora that he plans to call for a WBO interim-title fight, which may take place on the Pacquiao-Cotto undercard. He�may rule for�Morel to fight Valdez for that title.

"Morel is going to fight on that�card in November.� What we are going to do is find another contendor, perhaps Valdez, or another�who may�be available to fight for the temporary bantamweight title of the WBO," said Valc�rcel.�

I guess they're trying to make it a P.R. show! I know that Morel will do a lot better than Montiel did. What a shame that the ref and the commission made it so obvious.

Blame Montiel for this. What happend to him is well deserve for being ducking Morel!!!! he shoudl get stripped really. he won teh title vacantly from a nobody and has not defended in a year!!!!!!!!

i agree,santos-formeman is going to be boring,and valdez-morel??...i read somewhere that valcarcel wanted to make it a championship fight (interim)..i guess it makes sense,but not to put it on this card....valdez isn't really any good,i just can't see montiel training hard for this fight,like he ...

Montiel should get a rematch with Valdez.

Morel-Valdez? Santos-Boreman? Is this the 'spectacular undercard' Arum promised? From Valero-Soto to this trash, shit just keps getting worse for this undercard. I thought we'd somewhat turned the corner on low quality big fight undercards.
