The former world champion, Venezuelan Lorenzo Parra (31-2, 18KOs) has told reporters that he plans to be the executioner of the WBA super bantamweight champion, Anselmo "Chemito" Moreno (30-1, 10KOs) of Panama. Their fight is set for February 18 at the Arena Roberto Duran in Panama City. Parra returns from a split draw with Jorge Arce in September. Moreno has not fought since close decision victory over Nehomar Cermeno in August.

"I think it will be difficult and complicated, but I'll be the executioner. He is the champion, but I am the phenomenon, and he's going to fight fight someone better than him. I have self-esteem through the sky, physically and mentally. I'm spectacular. That day will be glory for me, because I will become world champion again, and I'll go and show my children that they still have a champion," Parra said.
