Lots of action South of the border this past Saturday.
In Mexico City at the Auditorio Plaza Condesa, former world champ, Daniel Ponce de Leon (38-2, 33 KOs), headlined a sold out Golden Boy show and inched closer to another world title shot by knocking out Puerto Rican, Orlando Cruz (16-2-1, 7 KOs).
Ponce de Leon pounced on Cruz from the opening bell and never let him in the fight until a thudding liver shot ended the bout at the 2:37 mark of the third round. For his part, Cruz never really seemed invested into the fight as he basically ran and pawed with weak shots for the entire bout.
The WBC Latino Featherweight title was at stake.
