By Steve Kim (Photo © German Villasenor): This Saturday night at the Monumental Plaza de Toros in Mexico City, Erik Morales faces Willie Limond on a small pay-per-view show that is being distributed by Integrated Sports. “El Terrible” made his return to the ring after a two-and-a-half year hiatus this past March as he decisioned Jose Alfaro over 12 rounds in a welterweight contest...
