Junior welterweight Antonio Orozco (12-0, 8KOs) cruised to an easy six round decision this past Saturday night, September 17th, over Fernando Rodriguez (6-6, 3KOs) in his debut with Golden Boy Promotions. The bout was one of the preliminaries for Saul “Canelo” Alvarez versus Alfonso Gomez held at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. In that match up, part of the “Star Power” PPV, Alvarez stopped the Gomez in six rounds to defend his WBC super welterweight title.
Orozco, who is part of the Espinoza Boxing Club led by Frank Espinoza, had no trouble with Rodriguez through out the eighteen minutes of action, easily displaying all the weapons in his arsenal, from the hard left hook to the body to the hard straight right hand to the head. The over matched Rodriguez of Dallas, TX, had no alternative but to try to make it a brawl but National City’s Orozco had the answer as he displayed nice defense by getting out of the way easily.
After slowing near the end of the six rounds, Rodriguez was still able to reach the final bell while Orozco kept his composure and kept consistently attacking.
