He did a lot of moving his body and head. I stalked him. The brought a pup to a dogfight, and I did what I was supposed to do to get the "W". I thought I pulled it out. I am in the sport to take chances. I fight on other promoter's cards. If they think they are the best, I want them to prove it to me," said Robinson. Pacheco, of Los Angeles, was the number-one ranked amateur in the United States and Mexico, dropped Chauvin with a hard right hand to gain his 2nd consecutive opening round round, and subsequently raised his perfect mark to 4-0 with three knockouts.  |
