Should be a great match-up tonight!
TV Lineup for Saturday's HBO PPV card (9 p.m. ET) from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas:
• Super middleweights: Kelly Pavlik vs. Jermain Taylor--- Wins with a Unanimous Decision in a great fight. Fighting at a catch weight of 166, Pavlik was busier while Taylor landed the sharper punches. Most of the rounds were close, but it was Pavlik who closed stronger. Scores were 117-111, 115-113, 116-112.
• Junior bantamweights: Fernando Montiel vs. Martin Castillo---Montiel floored Castillo with a double left hook in round one and then pummeled Castillo until he knocked him out with a body punch at 1:56 of round four. It was Montiel's most impressive performance.
• Junior bantamweights: Cristian Mijares vs. Jose Navarro---Ring technician Mijares systematically outpointed Navarro, cutting him badly over the right eye and closing his left eye, en route to a 115-113, 117-111 win on two cards. Judge Doug Tucker turned in a bizarre card 120-108 for Navarro. Navarro is now 0-4 in world title fights.
• Junior middleweights: Ronald Hearns vs. Juan Astorga ---- Hearns floored Astorga with a right hand late in round five and finished him at 1:10 of round eight.
I will post the live results!
