Reynaldo Ojeda (ר) out-boxed veteran for impressive decision
HARTFORD, קאַן.

The 26-year-old Ojeda took advantage of his decisive height and reach advantage in his U.S. פֿאַר דעבוט, out-boxing the diminutive (5′ 2″), all-action Meza-Clay throughout a very entertaining fight. Meza-Clay continually walked down Ojeda, who used his quickness, superior movement and boxing ability to register a convincing victory by 12-round unanimous decision.
“I’m a top prospect at 135 איצט; I’m going to be giving them all grades now,” commented Ojeda, a teacher in Puerto Rico. “The plan was to box Monty because he’s such an aggressive fighter.”
Meza-Clay was hampered in the later rounds by a serious cut over his right eye. Ojeda wisely attacked the wound, pumping a series of stiff jabs and left hooks. “I got confident when his cut opened up,” Ojeda admitted. “What’s next for me is up to my promoter and manager, but I’m available to fight any 135-pounder in the world.”

Rosa was penalized a point in the fourth round for hitting his downed opponent. From that point on, כאָטש, he never let up. He pounded Perez, caught him on the ropes, and unleashed an unanswered barrage of punches until referee Michael Ortega ended the fight in the fifth round.
Rosa is world ranked by the World Boxing Association (וובאַ) און וועלט באָקסינג קאָונסיל (וובק), ריספּעקטיוולי, at No. 15 און ניט קיין. 16.
“I said it was going to be explosive and we made it that way,” Rosa said after the fight. “I made a statement that I’m coming after all of the top 122-pounders. I’m a future champ in the making.”
