Without going too far in his second presentation as a professional, Cuban boxer Lázaro Álvarez defeated Argentine Alexis Torres by a unanimous vote in a card organized this Friday by Chino Maidana Promotions, in the Bolivian city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra.
The Pinar del Río triple world champion and three-time bronze medalist at the Olympic Games, took the South American out of circulation by the verdict of the judges (79-77, 80-71 and 77-72), although he was able to sentence from the very first round after connecting with force and knock down your rival.
However, Torres withstood the blow and was able to sustain himself during the eight rounds of the fight, in which Álvarez brought out his technical arsenal, maneuvering a lot with his jab, combining lefts and rights and looking for spaces without despair.
BY UNANIMOUS DECISION!
The Olympic medalist took the victory by DU after a great start, he could not reach the KO.

Either way, ESPN KnockOut’s descriptions say there was little action overall. The Antillean, despite having control from bell to bell, did not risk too much and perhaps for this reason he did not find the blow that sentenced the fight before the limit, they specified in the broadcast.
This is the second win as a professional for Lázaro Álvarez, after the one he achieved against Mexican Francisco Mercado in a six-round fight two months ago.
That billboard held in Aguascalientes, Mexico, marked the debut of the Domadores de Cuba franchise in the professional arena, with victories by Osvel Caballero, Yoenlis Hernández, Roniel Iglesias, Arlen López and Julio César la Cruz.
After that appointment, Billy Rodríguez also had a professional fight scheduled at the beginning of June, but it was canceled after his rival, the Argentine Sergio Daniel Rosalez, did not meet the agreed weight. The one who could return to the ring in these scenarios was Roniel Iglesias, winner at the beginning of July in a poster held in Monterrey, Mexico.
