Trini Ochoa shuts out Jose Angulo in homecoming bout in Phoenix

With the Phoenix boxing scene picking up, including more fight cards on bigger platforms, Trini Ochoa hopes to put himself more in the mix.

The unbeaten junior welterweight defeated gatekeeper Jose Angulo Saturday night at the Celebrity Theatre in his hometown of Phoenix. Scores were 99-91 (twice) and 100-90 for Ochoa, who improved to 18-0, 8 knockouts.

“My opponent had a tough guard, and he came in three pounds heavier than the contract weight, so he was a bit bigger,” Ochoa told The Ring on Sunday.
