SHOWTIME CARD FROM TEX-ASS
El Paso, TX– Abner Mares, (119.5 lbs) Montebello, CA UD 12 Eric Morel, (120), Madison, WI. (WBC 122 lb title). The still unbeaten “low-blow” king Mares (24-0-1, 13 KOs) outworks and outguns Morel (46-3, 23 KOs) to win the vacant green belt. Mares simply had more power and was busier as the rounds went on, cards were 120-107 and 119-109 twice.
WBA TITLE TIFF CALLED OFF BY FIGHTER!
Anselmo Moreno, (117.5), San Miguelito, Panama TKO 9 David De La Mora, (117.5), Tijuana, Mexico (WBA 118 lb title). Moreno (33-1-1, 12 KOs) dropped De La Mora (24-2, 17 KOs) with head and body shots twice and was in control throughout the fight until De La Mora stopped it himself at :10 of the round.
TOUGH GUY LOSES TO YOUNGSTER
Rowland Bryant, (173.5), Altamonte Springs, FL TKO 3 Librado Andrade, (173), La Habra, CA
Bryant (16-1, 11 KOs) scored a surprisingly easy third round drubbing of the usually durable Andrade (30-5, 23 KOs). After Andrade was hit with a flurry of big right hands the bout was waved off at 2:19. Andrade did complain about the stoppage.

SHO-BOX SHOWED “THE GHOST” OF JERMAINE TAYLOR APPEAR!
Biloxi, MS– Jermaine Taylor, (160.5), Little Rock, AR UD 10 Caleb Truax, (160.75), Osseo, MN. Taylor (30-4-1, 18 KOs) was easily out boxing the now once beaten Truax (18-1-1, 10 KOs) until the ninth round when a right by Truax dropped and hurt him badly. Only the inexperience of Traux prevented him from winning by KO over the “oh-so” predictable and weather-worn Taylor. Whether it’s his chin or focus, he needs to figure it out before facing a top contender. Scores were 97-94, 98-91 and 97-92.
CUBAN HOTSHOT DESTROYS HEARNS QUICKLY!
Erislandy Lara, (156.25), Miami, FL TKO 1 Ronald Hearns, (156.5), Southfield, MI. Lara (16-1-1, 11 KOs) all over the china chinned Hearns (26-3, 20 KOs) dropping him thrice in one round ending it at 1:34.
ESPN2 FEATURED QUICK STOPPAGE IN FAVOR OF “HOUSE” GUY
Montreal, Canada– Adonis Stevenson, (167.4), Quebec, Canada TKO 2 Noe Alcoba, (168), Santa Fe, Argentina. Stevenson (18-1, 15 KOs) gets an early stoppage over a hurt but still looking alert Alcoba (28-2, 20 KOs) in 1:40.
