By Jake Donovan - Mike Alvarado inched closer towards title contention after his 10-round decision win over Gabriel Martinez on Saturday evening. Scores were 100-89, 100-90 and 99-90 in their Fox-Sports televised main event, which aired live from the Softball Country Complex in Denver, Colorado. Chants of “303” filled the arena in honor of the Denver area code and acknowledgment of Alvarado representing his hometown. The undefeated 140 lb. contender didn’t disappoint in the slightest, coming flying out of the gate with an opening round knockdown. Martinez bounced back and actually held his own in the second, but never to where Alvarado didn’t dictate the terms of the bout. The hometown chants once again picked up, though would eventually taper off once it was sensed that an early night wasn’t in store.
When the percussion from the final bell reached featherweight Roberto Marroquin’s ears, the feeling was no less than numb. After going almost four years without losing, Francisco Leal would officially break the Dallas native’s unblemished streak once the scores were inevitably announced.
