Professional career
Bantamweight
He won the WBA Bantamweight title from the Ukrainian Wladimir Sidorenko on May 31, 2008, to become Panama's 25th world champion.[2] He defended his title against Cecillo Santos by technical decision as a result from an accidental headbutt. Moreno defended his crown for the second time on October 30, 2008 with a unanimous decision win over Rolly Matsushita. In July 2009, he made a successful defense of the WBA title against Mahyar Monshipour.[3] On November 10, 2012, Moreno moved up in weight to challenge and ultimately lose a scheduled 12-round decision in a fight against WBC Super Bantamweight Champion Abner Mares. Moreno was knocked down in the 5th round and deducted a point in the 11th for holding the head of his opponent. The judges scorecards were 116-110, 116-110, and 120-106 all in favour of Mares. This marked the second professional loss in Moreno's career, ending a 10-year unbeaten streak.
