Kissimmee, FL, USA: Welter: Daniel Rosario C (11-1) W KO 2 Aaron Garcia (14-4-1).Cruiser: Yunier Dorticos (20-0) W TKO 1 Galen Brown (43-31-1).
Rosario vs. Garcia
What looked an even money fight on paper ended in a crushing win for Rosario. The lanky Puerto Rican made a fast start and almost ended it in the first but Garcia survived. Not for long as Rosario scored two knockdowns in the second and the fight was stopped. Ten wins by KO/TKO for Rosario who wins the vacant WBO Latino title and he gets his third victory since losing a majority decision to Edgar Ortega in Mexico City last August. Chicago-born Mexican Garcia, 21, had won his last 9 fights against very low level opposition and now gets his second loss by KO/TKO.
Dorticos vs. Brown
Cuban Dorticos returns after a year of inactivity and brushes aside veteran loser Brown. Dorticos showed no sign of rust as he blasted Brown to the canvas three times for the win. The 29-year-old Dorticos won his first 18 fights by KO/TKO before having to go the full ten rounds to beat Edison Miranda in July last year. It looked as though he might became another Cuban to waste his talent when contract problems kept him out of the ring for a year but now he is back he could be a real force at cruiser. Despite not fighting for a year he is still rated No 2 by the WBA and is also WBO 11. “Bad Boy” Brown now has 20 losses by KO/TKO.
