SAN ANTONIO — Ramon Cardenas had every reason to be intimidated by his opponent at Woodlawn Gym.Johnny Moreno Jr.'s father, Johnny Sr., was one of the premier San Antonio boxers during the 1960s and '70s. To be honest, I've never even heard of him,” Cardenas said. “But I don't think it would have mattered. My game plan would have been the same.” The McCollum High School senior used his superior hand speed and effective counter punching to beat Moreno Jr. by unanimous decision to win the open senior division featherweight title in the finals of the South Texas Championships.

Cardenas was one of 20 champions crowned. “I think my speed was the difference,” said Cardenas, of Ramos Boxing Team. “I could see every punch he threw.”
