Misael Rodriguez defeats Omar Chavez

Omar Chavez and Misael Rodriguez got into the ring for a fight scheduled for 10 rounds that ‘El Chino’ ended up winning by unanimous decision in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.

The first rounds were even, Omar Chavez tried to impose himself on the Mexican Olympic boxer and they exchanged heavy blows.

The physical issue did end up being a factor against Omar Chavez, who after the first four rounds began to look much slower, tired and with less mobility and this was well taken advantage of by Misael, who punished him with combinations.

Finally, after months of controversy and rescheduling of this highly anticipated fight, Misael Rodriguez defeated Omar Chavez by unanimous decision with scores of 96-94, 97-93 and 98-92.2.
