Los Angeles, CA: David Rodela, the fast rising star of the Golden Boy Promotions, won via split decision at the Nokia Fight Night. Rodela, the ex-Manny Pacquiao sparmate, beat Eric Cruz of Manati, Puerto Rico via a split decision. The scores were 77-75, 77-75 for Rodela and 78-74 for Cruz.
With the win, Rodela improved his record to 15-3-3, 6KO while Cruz dropped to 7-3-3, 7KO.
Freddie Roach of the Wildcard Gym worked the corner of Rodela together with Team Rodela from Oxnard, CA.
