Ciso “Kid Terrible” Morales, the reigning WBO Oriental super bantamweight champion gets a big break when he sees action on the undercard of WBO super flyweight champion Marvin Sonsona’s (14-0, 12 KO’s) first title defense against Mexico’s Alejandro “Payasito” Hernandez (22-7-11 KO’s) at the Casino Rama in Ontario, Canada on November 21.
The 21 year old Morales who is undefeated with a record of 13-0 with 8 knockouts will face Mexico’s Miguel Angel Gonzalez Piedras who has a record of 10-1 with 4 knockouts. It will be Morales' first fight outside the Philippines.
Morales whose career has been handled by promoter Sammy Gello-ani won the WBO Oriental title with a controversial ten round unanimous decision over Marangin “Dinamita” Marbun on February 9, 2008 in Tubod, Lanao del Norte.
Marbun is the same Indonesian fighter who gave Rey “Boom Boom” Bautista a hard time before suffering a 7th round knockout at the Waterfront Hotel in Cebu City last Friday.
Gonzalez has won his last five fights by unanimous decision after his loss to undefeated Ramon Maas on May 19, 2007.
Gonzalez will be coming off a ten round unanimous decision over Roberto Cuenca last June 20 while Morales in his last fight on January 31 scored a 5th round TKO over Thailand’s Pichitchai Twins Gym.
