A roundup of the past weeks notable boxing results from around the world:Saturday at Puerto Penasco, MexicoJuan Francisco Estrada W10 Raymond Tabugon Junior bantamweight Scores: 100-90 (three times) Records: Estrada (34-2, 24 KOs); Tabugon (18-6-1, 8 KOs)Rafaels remarks: For a guy who had not boxed in a year and was coming off a serious right-hand injury, former unified flyweight world titleholder Estrada, 26, of Mexico, looked sharp from about the third round on in a shutout decision against Tabugon, a 25-year-old journeyman from the Philippines. Denis Savard Jersey . Although the talent gulf between the two was enormous, this was a reasonable fight for Estrada to take coming off the layoff and moving up to a new weight class. Estrada had held a pair of flyweight titles for 3? years and made five defenses before deciding to vacate the belts and move up to throw his name into the talent-rich junior bantamweight division, where he hopes to face top names such as titleholders Naoya Inoue, Luis Nica Concepcion and former titleholder Carlos Cuadras. But the big fight for him, which could happen next year, is a rematch with titleholder Roman Chocolatito Gonzalez, who outpointed him in an outstanding 2012 junior flyweight world title fight before he moved up to win a flyweight title and then a junior bantamweight title from Cuadras last month.Against Tabugon, Estrada seemed to have no problems with his right hand, which he landed often. Estrada took a few rounds to find his groove and dominated as he pressured Tabugon. Estrada took his foot off the gas a little in the second half of the fight but kept up a steady pace and boxed nicely from the outside en route to the victory.Also on the card, junior featherweight Emanuel Navarrete (16-1, 13 KOs), 21, of Mexico, cruised to a one-sided decision against countryman Martin Casillas (15-9-1, 9 KOs), 28. Navarrete won by scores of 100-90, 100-90 and 99-91 as Casillas dropped to 0-5-1 in his last six fights.Saturday at Harrow, EnglandLiam Walsh W12 Andrey Klimov Junior lightweight - Title eliminator Scores: 120-107 (twice), 119-108 Records: Walsh (21-0, 14 KOs); Klimov (19-3, 9 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Walsh, a 30-year-old southpaw from England, scored the biggest win of his career in a one-sided decision against Klimov, 34, of Russia, to earn a mandatory world title shot. He is now the mandatory challenger for 130-pound world titleholder Jose Pedraza (22-0, 12 KOs), of Puerto Rico, although Pedraza is considering a move up to the lightweight division, which would leave Walsh to fight for a vacant belt.Regardless of who Walsh fights for the belt, the former Commonwealth champion looked good in the fight to earn the shot. He took control against Klimov, who was fighting for the first time in 16 months, early on and used a good jab and his better speed to befuddle him. A right hand from Walsh produced a knockdown at the end of the fifth round. Walsh said after the fight he was ready to face Pedraza, be it in Puerto Rico, the United States or England. He said he would go anywhere in the world for the opportunity.Klimovs two previous defeats came the two times he stepped up in competition, a very poor performance in a shutout decision to Terence Crawford in 2013 and a near-shutout decision to Pedraza challenging him for a vacant world title in his previous fight, which was in June 2015.Friday at Glasgow, ScotlandRicky Burns W12 Kiryl Relikh Retains a junior welterweight title Scores: 118-110, 116-112 (twice) Records: Burns (41-5-1, 14 KOs); Relikh (21-1, 19 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Three-division world titleholder Burns, 33, thrilled the hometown fans with another win in the first defense of the vacant 140-pound belt he won in May, a month after Adrien Broner was stripped for failing to make weight. He squared off with the 26-year-old Relikh, of Belarus, who is trained by British legend Ricky Hatton but fighting a top opponent for the first time.Relikh, who had won 12 fights in a row (all by knockout) coming into the bout (and needed three attempts to make weight), gave a great effort and applied a ton of pressure, especially in the first three rounds and final three rounds. But Burns was the quicker, more skilled boxer and survived a few rough moments to win the well-deserved decision, although the 118-110 scorecard appeared a bit generous. The win is expected to set up a fight with four-division titleholder Broner (32-2, 24 KOs) in his first bout since being stripped of the belt Burns now holds.Dillian Whyte TKO10 Ian Lewison Wins vacant British heavyweight title Records: Whyte (19-1, 15 KOs); Lewison (12-3-1, 8 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Whyte, 28, of England, made his name last December when he went seven hard rounds with Anthony Joshua in a much-hyped fight. Although Whyte got knocked out and took heavy punishment, he also badly hurt Joshua and nearly stopped him in a tremendous fight. He has now won three fights in a row since and aims eventually for a rematch with Joshua, who went on to claim a world title in his next bout. Whyte continued to make the case that he deserves one as he beat up the game Lewison throughout the one-sided fight. By the end of the 10th round, Lewison, dealing with a nose injury, had taken a lot of punishment and his corner stopped the fight as he returned to the stool after the round. Lewison, 35, of England, saw a five-fight winning streak come to an end.Friday at Los AngelesDiego Magdaleno W10 Art Hovhannisyan Junior welterweight Scores: 99-91 (three times) Records: Magdaleno (29-2, 12 KOs); Hovhannisyan (17-3-3, 9 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Twice Magdaleno, a 29-year-old southpaw from Las Vegas, has fought for a world title and twice he has lost. He gave a good account of himself in a questionable split decision loss to Roman Rocky Martinez for a junior lightweight belt in 2013 in Macau, China. But in his last fight, a year ago, Magdaleno got blown out in a second-round knockout loss to lightweight titleholder Terry Flanagan in England. In his first fight since that bad loss, and his first since being released by promoter Top Rank, Magdaleno looked sharp in a one-sided decision against Hovhannisyan in the main event of Golden Boys LA Fight Club series. Magdaleno suffered a cut over his right eye in the fourth round but otherwise had few issues as he easily outboxed Hovhannisyan, 34, an Armenia native fighting out of Glendale, California, who suffered a cut over his left eye in the fifth round.Friday at Tampa, FloridaOrlando Cruz TKO7 Gabino Cota Junior lightweight Records: Cruz (25-4-1, 13 KOs); Cota (19-7-1, 17 KOs)Rafaels remarks: In the main event of promoter Tutico Zabalas Boxeo Telemundo card, Cruz, a 35-year-old southpaw from Puerto Rico, took apart late substitute opponent Cota, 23, of Mexico. The fight was a rematch of Cruzs more competitive 10-round decision victory last October. In the rematch, Cruz dropped Cota twice, in the second round with a left hand to the head and in the seventh round with another left hand, as he dominated the fight. After the seventh-round knockdown, Cota beat the count but he was in rough shape, which caused referee Andrew Glenn waved off the fight at 2 minutes, 38 seconds. Cruz won his fourth bout in a row since suffering back-to-back losses, including a seventh-round knockout to Orlando Salido in a vacant featherweight world title bout in 2013. Cota fell to 2-6 in his last eight fights. Michal Rozsival Jersey . Mats Zuccarello and Derek Stepan scored shootout goals, and backup goalie Cam Talbot earned his second win in two nights as the Rangers shook off a late tying tally and beat the Maple Leafs 2-1 Monday night. Bobby Hull Jersey . Andreas Johnson had a goal and two assists while Jacob de la Rose also scored for Sweden (2-0-0). Esa Lindell and Rasmus Ristolainen replied for Finland (1-1-0) Lindell opened the scoring for Finland just 41 seconds into the game, but the hosts quickly regained their composure and tied the score less than four minutes later on Wennbergs first of the game. www.blackhawksjerseyscheap.com/?tag=jan-rutta-jersey . Team physician Dr. Steve Traina performed the surgery Friday. Robinson was injured in a spill underneath the Nuggets basket during the first quarter of Wednesday nights loss to the Charlotte Bobcats. FORT WORTH, Texas -- Jimmie Johnson gets to make a drive for five in Texas with no pressure before going for his record-tying seventh NASCAR championship.Already locked into the Sprint Cup title-deciding race at Homestead, Johnson doesnt have to worry about the Chase like seven other drivers who have only two more chances to get a title shot. He can focus Sunday on trying to win the fall race at Texas Motor Speedway for the fifth year in a row.Weve had a great hot streak going, we certainly hope it keeps going, Johnson said. But if we show up and the best we can run is 15th, believe me, were going to be pretty disappointed in that.Johnson has won six Cup races overall at Texas, twice as many as any other driver. Carl Edwards got the last of his three Texas victories eight years ago.Since Johnson won at Martinsville, in the first race of the third round in the Chase, there is plenty of time to talk about his opportunity to match the seven season championships won by Hall of Fame members Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt.Not that Johnson is paying too much attention to any of the talk and speculation.Im kind of immune to it, he said. I just have never been caught up in that stuff, and I try even harder now at this point in the year to avoid any media related to myself or my sport, just so I can have my own little universe and just kind of focus on what I think I need to.This is the third year of NASCARs elimination Chase format. Johnson was already out of contention and played a spoiler role by winning the last two fall races at the 1 1/2-mile, high-banked Texas track.Our wins the last two years in this fall race, weve actually gone home obviously happy, but also kicking ourselves he said. We wwould have made it to the final round if we would have just had the first part of the Chase under control. Brent Seabrook Jersey. Last November, Brad Keselowski led 312 of 334 laps and was so close to a win to get one of the final four spots. But Johnson took the lead on the final restart , and Keselowski was eliminated the next week.Johnson won at Texas in 2014 on the second attempt at a green-white finish, though his victory was overshadowed by the postrace melee between Jeff Gordon and Keselowski on pit road.When the Chase championship was still determined by the final 10 races, Johnson regained the points lead by winning Texas and went on to win his sixth championship in 2013. That was a year after Johnson left Texas with a win and the lead over Keselowski, who ended rallied to win the 2012 season title.Another win at Texas this weekend would take away the chance for another contender to automatically advance into one of the remaining three spots for a championship shot at Homestead. He finished fourth at Texas in April with damage to the nose of his car.While it doesnt matter where Johnson finishes, his mindset is exposure to the right pressure and to keep trying to win. That applies to the driver on late restarts, crew chief Chad Knaus making strategy calls, or the pit crew going over the wall for stops.If they got the job done the week before, theyre going to jump off the wall more comfortable and calmer, and can execute hopefully better on that stop at Homestead, Johnson said. Thats the stuff I want to keep my team engaged in, just to feel the pressure of competing for the win.
