Hot superbantamweight prospect Ciso "Kid Terrible" Morales was granted his American visa today in only his first try after his interview at the US Embassy in Manila.
Morales, who came into the interview bringing with him the necessary and pertinent documentations for his March 15 fight underneath the Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez duel, is slated to fly to Hawaii later this week to continue his training under Fil-Am strategist Bobby Villaver.
Morales, who hails from the beautiful island of Bohol, will be accompanied in the trip by his handlers, the father-and-son tandem of Florsky and Kenneth Rontal of the Mindanao Glassware fame in Cagayan de Oro City.
Bobby Villaver is currently training in Hawaii two of Thailand's stars--Terdsak Jandaeng and ex-WBA king Somsak Sithchachawal--and would be more than willing to see Morales knock on his doors soon.
Jandaeng will challenge WBO featherweight champ Steven Luevano on the same Pacquiao-Morales card, while Somsak battles a compatriot in an eliminator for the WBA superbantam title.
