Tonight’s opening televised bout of Telefutura’s “Solo Boxeo” boxing series featured perennial contender Ben “Wonder” Tackie winning a hard fought ten-round majority decision over tough and rugged Norberto Bravo. The fight featured a lot of two-way action with both fighters having their moments. Tackie, true to form, seemed to get stronger as the fight went into the latter rounds and hurt Bravo late with wicked body shots. The Arizona native showed a ton of heart, but was simply outgunned by the warrior from Ghana. It's a solid win for Tackie as he looks to make some noise in a wide-open welterweight division.
