Will he move to 122 full time or will he return to bantamweight? Does anyone know? Has he stated his plans either way? 122 is a lion's den these days with Donaire, Rigo, Mares, Vasquez jr. Nishioka, Arce, Mijares, etc. But I'd make Moreno even money at worst against any of those guys. And he could pick up some solid paydays against those types since all of the aforementioned guys are have had plenty of exposure on HBO/Showtime.
It all depends on the money. If a rematch with Mares will pay the bills and is warranted, we might see it. If not, he could take on a decent name at 122, maybe against a faded Arce or Mijares. Both those fights are winnable and come with a decent pay check. Edit: just realized the flaw in my post. I should have said 122 has all the money.
122 will be the best division in the sport when Moreno moves up. Donaire Rigo Nish Mares And prospects like Frampton and Oguni coming through. My new favourite division. :bbb
122 has always been one of my favorite divisions. It's always stocked with talent. I don't really see anyone at 118 that would be worth Moreno's time except Leo Santa Cruz, especially now that Agbeko is moving up.
