WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 (China News) -- Cristobal Cruz was crowned at the International Boxing Federation featherweight competition Thursday by winning a 12-round split decision over fellow Mexican Orlando Salido.
Two judges awarded the vacant title to Cruz both by scores of 116-112 while the third judge gave 27-year-old Salido 115-113.
Cruz, 31, improved to 37-11 with one drawn. It was his second split-decision triumph in a row, having defeated South Africa's Thomas Mashaba in the same manner last March.
Mexico's Juan Manuel Marquez denied Salido in his first title bout in 2004 and the second title bout, in 2006 against American Roberto Guerrero, was declared a no contest.
