Morales, born,
raised and residing in Houston, is a former UBO
Latino and International champion, and
far more
experienced than his game opponent from Florence
in Arizona,
who was
fighting for his first professional title.
Goade
was not intimidated by the accolades of Morales,
also a former WBC titlist, and tried his best to
offset
him,
but the local man just had too much skill and
experience, winning most rounds with sharp
counters
from his
southpaw stance, tight defense
and elusive
movement.
Likely knowing
that he needed a knockout to win, Goade upped
the tempo in the last round and threw almost
exclusively power-shots, but it was to no avail
as he failed to bring Morales in any kind of
trouble towards a clear unanimous decision
(79-73, 78-74,
78-74).

Now a three-time

last four going in, drops to 7-4-2 (6).
