Guerrero outpoints Ortiz in battle of former champions
In a forgettable battle of former welterweight champions years past their best days, Robert Guerrero topped Victor Ortiz via unanimous decision in the co-feature of Pacquiao-Ugas.
All three judges turned in the same score: 96-94.
Guerrero (37-6-1, 20 KOs) and Ortiz started out strong with an action-packed first round, but as the fight wore on, both boxers seemed to tire. Over the last half of the 10-round fight, they were mostly hugging each other, throwing arm punches on the inside. Still, it was Guerrero, 38, who was more effective, winning over the judges in a closely contested fight.
Ortiz (32-7-3, 25 KOs), 34, has won just three of his last nine fights.
Magsayo stops Ceja in Round 10
Mark Magsayo scored a brutal knockout of Julio Ceja in a WBC featherweight title eliminator, warming up the Filipino faithful on hand to watch their hero Manny Pacquiao.
The 26-year-old landed a right hand that rendered Ceja senseless on his feet before a second right hand left the Mexican unconscious on the ring mat.
Magsayo, who is promoted by Pacquiao, will now be guaranteed a 126-pound title shot. He might be ready, too. Ceja, a former 122-pound champion, was a massive step up in class for Magsayo.
Ceja was also dropped in Round 1, the result of a left hook that caught him cold in the opening seconds. He rallied as the fight waged on and scored a knockdown of his own in Round 5, a left hook flooring Magsayo after a series of right hands to the body slowed him down.
Now, Magsayo has finally tasted adversity in the ring and proved he could handle it. Next he'll have to prove he can take care of better fighters.
Castro demolishes Escandon for KO victory
Carlos Castro scored the biggest win of his budding career on Saturday night, notching a 10th-round KO of durable fringe contender Oscar Escandon.
The 27-year-old Mexican boxer dropped Escandon in Round 10 of the brutal featherweight bout -- the second knockdown of the match -- and this time, the Colombian fighter was in no shape to continue.
Escandon, 37, had weathered the storm several times earlier in the pay-per-view opener. In fact, he started strong by hurting Castro at the end of the first round, buckling the 11-1 favorite with a left hook.
However, Castro (27-0, 12 KOs) used his range and height to punch down on the smaller man, and in Round 6, he pummeled Escandon before the bell. Escandon walked back to his corner on unsteady legs, and in Round 7, he was dropped for the first time in the contest. Rather than clinch, Escandon (26-6, 18 KOs) slugged his way back into the fight, pushing Castro back with a flurry before the bell.
Escandon has now lost four of five contests, all against quality opposition and all inside the distance. The other defeats came to Gary Russell Jr., Brandon Figueroa and Tugstsogt Nyambayar.
Castro now appears well on his way to a title shot at 126 pounds in the not-too-distant future.
Contreras upsets Dato
Angel Antonio Contreras scored a unanimous decision win over John Dato in an eight-round featherweight fight, handing the latter his first pro defeat. The cards read 78-73, 77-74 and 77-74 for Contreras, who improved to 11-4-2 with 6 KOs.
The 27-year-old Mexican fighter beat Dato to the punch in a bout that was mostly contested on the inside. The victory is Contreras' first in his past four fights.
Dato, a 28-year-old Filipino fighter, is now 14-1-1.
Spencer outclasses Villalobos for decision win
Mickel Spencer, the brother of undefeated prospect Joey Spencer, was successful in his pro debut. The 17-year-old from Union City, California, scored a shutout unanimous decision over Eliseo Villalobos in a four-round lightweight fight. All three judges scored it the same: 40-36.
Mickel Spencer was in control from the opening bell and cruised.
Villalobos (1-2, 0 KOs), a 21-year-old from Simi Valley, California, has lost two straight after winning his pro debut.
