Sources: Moreno's Next Opponent Still Likely Parra

By Rick Reeno

According to sources in Panama, the next defense for WBA bantamweight champion Anselmo "Chemito" Moreno (30-1, 10KOs) will likely come against Lorenzo Parra (31-2, 18KOs). Moreno-Parra has been scheduled several times since the start of the year, but scheduling conflicts with the television networks caused numerous postponements. Additionally, when Moreno was being considered as the next possible opponent for Nonito Donaire, the finalization of the Parra fight was put on hold. Despite Eric Morel's belief that he might Moreno next, Parra appears to be ahead of the line.
