Rocky Juarez TKO4 Backlin Medrano… Featherweight contender Rocky Juarez continued his comeback, winning his second straight bout following an upset loss to Humberto Soto in August 2005. In Kinder, Lousiana on Saturday, Juarez drubbed Indiana’s Backlin Medrano over four rounds. It was good action throughout, but Medrano could not handle the ex-silver medalist’s power. All told, Medrano was dropped five times, leading his co-trainer Christy Martin to throw in the towel in round four. Juarez, Boxingtalk’s #7 featherweight, moves to 25-1 and with another big opportunity most likely not too far away. Medrano drops to 9-3. Undercard...
