On this day in history, Chavez dominates Rosario

November 21, 1987

Julio César Chávez produced a masterclass to defeat Edwin Rosario in Las Vegas.

Chavez, the reigning WBC super featherweight king, stepped up to 135lbs and battered Rosario to become a two-weight world champion. The Mexican legend landed 450 punches, compared to Rosario’s 264, before the Puerto Rican’s corner threw in the towel in the 11th.
