Alexis Rocha outpoints game Brad Solomon on Garcia-Fonseca card
Welterweight contender Alexis Rocha had to work hard but overcame a spirited effort from Brad Solomon.
Rocha put Solomon down in the 10th and final round en route to a unanimous-decision victory on the Ryan Garcia-Francisco Fonseca card Friday night at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
Rocha (16-0, 10 KOs) put Solomon (28-3, 9 KOs) down with a right hook followed by two rights to the body.
The scores were 100-89, 99-90 and 97-92, although the fight might’ve been closer than that.
Roacha grew up in Santa Ana, a few miles from the Honda Center.
Solomon has now lost back to back fights to Golden Boy Promotions prospects. He was stopped by Vergil Ortiz Jr. in the fifth round in December.
