The flyweight bout showcased Moreno&rsquo;s veteran experience against Erceg&rsquo;s technical striking. Moreno, a former two-time champ, started strong, as he dictated the pace in the first round of the contest. Erceg, coming off of two loses, found some rhythm in rounds two and three. However Moreno&rsquo;s relentless output and sharper striking took over in the final rounds of the fight. If Erceg managed to land something on Moreno, the Mexican would immediately fire back with a combination. He never allowed Erceg to get shots off for free as he had an answer every single time.<\/p><p>The fight went the full five rounds as Judges scored it a unanimous decision in favor of Moreno, marking his first win on Mexican soil.
