Orlando is making waves in the mat. He won big this weekend, while representing us in a rainbow kilt.
Orlando Cruz made good Friday night on his aspiration of being No. 1 in line for Mikey Garcia's WBO featherweight championship.Hold it down, Orlando.
The WBO Latino champion retained his regional title and reinforced his No. 1 ranking in the 126-pound division after scoring a TKO at 1:19 of the sixth round against Mexican Aalan Martinez in Kissimmee, Fla. The win put Cruz in a position to face Garcia, even though Top Rank -- which also promotes him -- revealed this week its intention of having former champion Juan Manuel Lopez face Garcia.
But his easy TKO victory could make the company change its plans.
"I'm ready for the championship," Cruz said after the fight. "My mind is now in challenging for the WBO belt. I'm thirsty for glory now."

He looked really good. I hope he gets his shot after that other bout takes place. He deserves it.
