PAC WINS IN ROUT

Dallas, TX– Manny Pacquiao, (144.6 lbs), General Santos City, Philippines UD 12 Antonio Margarito, (150), Tijuana, Mexico. (vacant WBC 154 championship) After a controversy over a mystery drink in Margarito’s hands, Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KOs) was a non-stop human punching machine against an unusually inactive Margarito (38-7, 27 KOs). A defenseless Margarito couldn’t keep pace with Pacquiao. Margarito’s face was a bloody mess after twelve unbelievably lopsided rounds the unnecessary scorecards read 120-108, 119-109, and 118-110.

JONES LUCKY
TO GET WIN

Mike Jones, (145.5), Philadelphia, PA MD 10 Jesus Soto Karass, (148 lbs), Los Angeles, CA. Jones (23-0, 18 KOs) hurt Karass (24-5-3, 16 KOs) in the second and went for broke only to punch himself out.  Fighting mainly on the outside Jones aught his second wind while a bloodied Karass couldn’t.  Cards were 94-94, 95-94, and 97-92 .

CUBAN GETS CLOSE NOD

Guillermo Rigondeaux, (121), Miami, FL SD 12 Ricardo Cordoba, (121.25), San Miguelito, Panama. Rigondeaux (7-0, 5 KOs) and Cordoba (37-2-2, 23 KOs) both suffered knockdowns in separate rounds but last the full twelve.  Cordoba was dropped in the fourth from a body shot while Rigondeaux’s glove touched the canvas in the sixth.  After that Rigondeaux boxed well and landed enough to earn the win.  The cards were 117-109 and 114-112 for Rigondeaux, while the third went to Cordoba at 114-112.

Brandon Rios, (140.25), Oxnard, CA TKO 5 Omri Lowther, (137.5 lbs), Toronto, CA. Rios (26-0-1, 19 KOs) used Lowther (14-3, 10 KOs) as a human punching bag.  As the punishment mounted the referee Raul Caiz Jr. stoppped it at 2:17.

WBA HEAVYWEIGHT BELT IN UK

Manchester, England– David Haye, (210.5), London, England TKO 3 Audley Harrison, (253.5), Westlake Village, England
