“A win would catapult me to bigger things,” said Morales. “Not only would my confidence go up, but this is a big step for me. This is my first big show, so I feel this is going to help me out in the long run.”
Morales has fought all over San Antonio, including the Scottish Rite Theatre, Alzafar Shrine, Market Square and even in Floresville. Today’s press conference, which was presented live on YouTube, featured Morales along with the undefeated Ryan Garcia and legendary boxers Oscar De La Hoya and Bernard Hopkins.
“It’s all surreal,” Morales said about being next to some of boxing’s greatest fighters. “It helps me stay consistent at the gym and it’s a huge motivation for me. If I keep doing this, I can get bigger cards and better things will come my way.”Friday’s weigh-in is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. at the Alamodome and will be open to the public. The weigh-in will also stream live on YouTube.
