Update 9: Super welterweight Manny Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KOs) added another chapter to his legendary career on Saturday night before a huge crowd at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas. Pacquiao won a world title in a record eighth weight class (WBC junior middleweight) with a brutal twelve round beating of Antonio Margarito (38-7, 27 KOs). Pacquiao was a little better in round one against the much bigger Margarito who was 17 pounds heavier at fight time. Both fighters landed big shots in round two. Pacman had the edge in round three, landing more clean shots. Pacman began to bust up Margarito in round four landing many clean shots. Another big round for Manny in the sixth. Huge cut under Margarito’s right eye. Margarito had some good moments in the sixth, trapping Pacquiao on the ropes. Margarito was still in the fight in the seventh, but it was Manny’s round. Margarito trapped Manny on the ropes several times but Manny fought his way out of it. Still Margarito came on hard. Pacquiao kept the fight in the center of the ring in the ninth much to his advantage. Big rounds for Pacman in the tenth and eleventh. Pacman had mercy on the game, nearly blind Margarito in the twelfth and carried him to the final bell.

Update 8: In a clash for the vacant WBA interim junior featherweight championship, two-time Olympic gold medalist Guillermo Rigondeaux (7-0, 5 KOs) won a world title in his seventh pro fight by taking a split decision against former champion Ricardo Cordoba (37-2-2, 23 KOs) over twelve mostly technical rounds. Rigondeaux dropped Cordoba with a body shot in round four and Cordoba got credit for a knockdown in round six when Rigondeaux’s glove touched the canvas after a jab. Rigondeaux was on his bicycle the rest of the fight, but still landed enough to win by scores of 117-109, 114-112 on two cards. Cordoba was up 114-112 on the other card.


Update 7: Welterweight contender Mike Jones (23-0, 18 KOs) won a ten round majority decision firefight with Jesus Soto-Karass (24-5-3, 16 KOs). Jones, rated in the top four of all sanctioning bodies, went for the KO in round two with a long, sustained assault, which Soto-Karass weathered. Although busted up, Soto-Karass came back in round three to punish a seemingly punched out Jones and applied pressure the rest of the fight. Jones got his second wind in the later rounds. Scores were 94-94, 95-94, 97-93. With the win, Jones retained his NABA, NABO and WBC Continental Americas belts.

Update 6: WBA #1, WBC #4 lightweight Brandon Rios (26-0-1, 19 KOs) battered Omri Lowther (14-3, 10 KOs) until referee Raul Caiz Jr. stopped the punishment in round five. Time was 2:17.

Junior lightweight Angel Rodriguez, 6-4-1 (4 KOs), scored a minor upset, handing southpaw Juan Martin Elorde, 11-1 (4 KOs), his first defeat with a four round unanimous decision. Scores were 40-36, twice and 39-37. Elorde is the grandson of Hall of Fame inductee Flash Elorde. 

Update 5: Top Rank junior featherweight prospect Roberto Marroquin dropped Francisco Domingquez first with a left hook and finished him off later in the round with a left right combination as Referee Raul Caiz waived it off at 1:27 of the 1st round. Marroquin improves to 17-0 with 13 KOs. Dominguez falls to 8-8, 2 KOs.

Light heavyweight Mike Lee, 3-0 (2 KOs), blasted away Keith Debow, 0-3-1, with a two-fisted barrage punctuated by and overhand right at 1:33 of the opening round. Lee is a former Notre Dame champion.

Update 4: Highly touted Top Rank junior welterweight prospect Jose Benavidez (9-0, 9 KOs) scored a third round TKO over Winston Mathis (6-3, 2 KOs).
