**** i wanna watch these i hope theyre traded later ... surprised to hear Cermeno lost

Moreno will continue to prove my young Pernell Whitaker comparison look legit. The guy keeps going to hostile territory and winning. Cerme~o is a good fighter, Moreno will keep winning and people will have to take notice.

If he wants any shine, he's going to need to sign to an American promoter cuz he'll never get on US TV this way. No other beltholder will dare try to unify with him neither will a popular fighter moving up.

Challenge an unknown tall, fast, slick southpaw with good skills, there's not a manager dumb enough.

young whitaker? i dunno about all that.
he fights like spadafora...a more talented version.
i gotta see both these fights.
sucks that linares struggled again. maybe he's just not as good as a lot of us think.

Moreno fights nothing like Whitaker.

He should man up and face a certain ko machine in Japan

he's a skilled, pitty pat volume punching southpaw with great footwork and angles. sounds more like spadafora. he's not nearly as athletically gifted as pea was and doesnt have the upper-body movement that pea had.
glad to see him win though. i like his style and i absolutely hate cermeno's.

Moreno to "man up"?

Moreno has defended his belt several times on foreign soil against solid competition (with the exception of Patrac) and has won every time, relying on his defense, footwork, and skills. He doesn't have the power to back him up.
