The Santa Ana welterweight made a name for himself as a top contender by seizing opportunity and delivering a sensational knockout of George Ashie last week
Alexis Rocha gets asked the same tiresome questions most boxers receive on a daily basis.“Is it hard to cut weight?” strangers ask during small talk.
“I always tell everyone when they ask me, ‘Do you think you’re ready ?’ I won’t know until I’m in there,” Rocha said. “I won’t know until we’re firing away and throwing hands at each other. You know, but if that’s the fight to be made, then it’s the fight to be made.” Crawford, 35, recently met with Oscar De La Hoya, the face of Golden Boy Promotions, and De La Hoya likely offered a fight against his best welterweight – the 25-year-old from Santa Ana.
“It was a really good knockout,” Rocha said. “I think I needed it to get the buzz going about who I am. I wanted to show that I could be a headliner. And that’s the best part about it, that I brought up a pretty good crowd. I delivered a good performance, and I hope DAZN and Golden Boy see that, so they could put me in another main event in the future.”
“They reached out to me and my coaches,” Rocha said. “And they told me I would need to be ready in five and a half weeks and most people would have been like, ‘No, I need eight to 10 weeks for camp and for a main event.’ But I was already in the gym.”
