Davao City's Moralde (23-4-0, 13KOs) came in throwing nice jabs against Vivas but the Mexican forced his way inside and while Moralde tried to hold on Vivas, the Mexican connected with a left to the face of Moralde sending Moralde to the canvas for a knockdown.
Sensing Moralde hurt, Vivas pursued the Filipino and connected with two wicked body shots that sent Moralde to the canvas for the second time. The referee immediately stopped of the fight seening Moralde grimacing in pain.
