Felipe Orucuta picked up his second straight win with a 10-round unanimous decision over Roberto Pucheta in ther bantamweight bout Saturday evening in Tecate, Mexico.
There were no knockdowns in the headliner, but also few lulls. The majority of the bout was fought at a phone booth's distance, but ultimately with Orucuta clearly proving to be a class above Pucheta (9-6-1, 5KOs).
All three judges scored the contest 98-92 in favor of Orucuta (31-3, 25KOs). The win was his second straight since a highly disputed majority loss to then-115 lb. champ Omar Narvaez last May.
Carlos Ocampo remained unbeaten after outpointing Jhonny Navarrete over 10 rounds in the evening's co-feature.
Scores were 100-89, 99-90 and 97-92 in favor of Ocampo, who struck early with an opening round knockdown courtesy of a counter right hand.
Navarrete was brave throughout the contest, but never entirely competitive, as well reflected in the final scores.
Ocampo improves to 16-0 (11KOs) with the win. Navarrete's 12-fight win streak comes to a close as his record falls to 29-7-2.
The bout aired live on beIn Sport Espanol in the United States and TV Azteca in Mexico.
