Bracero took on the rugged Alatorre in a bit of a step up bout.
Bacero was effective as he has become a big draw on the Broadway Boxing series. He landed various right hands and fought through adversity as he was cut along the left eye in round two and on the side of the face midway through the fight. Those marks were the result of headbutts but that seemed to have spurred him on as he fought even harder. Alatorre gave a good effort but it wasn’t enough as Bracero took every round by a 80-72 tally on all three judges cards.
