Antonio Orozco (born 30 October 1987) is a Mexican professional boxer.

Amateur career

Antonio had a very good amateur career, he holds victories over Mexican Olympian, Jessie Vargas and U.S. Olympian, Javier Molina.[1] Orozco boxed out of The Garden City Boxing Club where he was trained by five trainers. His original trainers included Ignacio "Buck" Avila, Antonio Orozco Sr., Manuel Rios, Juan M. Aldana Jr. and Alfred Ritz.

Professional career

On June 11, 2010, Orozco beat Mike Peralta by unanimous decision in San Diego.[2]

In July 2011, Antonio beat the veteran Josh Beeman by knockout. This was the first time he had ever been knocked down in a fight.[3]

On September 14, 2018, fought for a world title for the first time in his career, against Jose Carlos Ramirez, for the WBC light welterweight belt. In action-packed fight, Orozco got dropped twice by Ramirez, once in the fourth and once in the eighth round. Ramirez was also the more active fighter, especially towards the end of the fight, earning him the unanimous decision win over Orozco.[4]

In his next bout, Orozco got a comeback win against Jose Luis Rodriguez. This was Orozco's first fight under legendary trainer Freddie Roach. Both boxers had they say throughout the fight, but Orozco got the edge with his aggressiveness and boxing skills, en route to a unanimous decision win.[5]

On August 10, 2019, Orozco fought undefeated rising prospect Vergil Ortiz Jr. Orozco got dropped three times by Ortiz Jr, which culminated in a TKO victory for Ortiz Jr in the sixth round.[6]
