Moreno Wants To Be Part of Showtime's Tournament

By Jhonny Gonzalez

Fresh from his twelve round decision win over rival Nehomar Cermeno, WBA bantamweight champion Anselmo Moreno (30-1-1, 10 KO) is aiming to be a part of Showtime's planned bantamweight tournament. The Showtime network is putting together a Super Six style tournament with some of the top bantamweights being involved.

IBF champion Yonnhy Perez, IBO champion Vic Darchinyan, Abner Mares and Joseph Agbeko are expected to participate in the tournament. Fernando Montiel, Nonito Donaire and Hasegawa turned down their invitations to be part of the tournament.

Moreno will take two to three weeks off to heal a cut that he suffered on his right eyebrow from a clash of heads with Cermeno. Once the cut is healed up, he will return to the gym and wants his management to get in touch with Showtime.
