Other Saturday Results

1. Wilfredo Vasquez Jr. TKO7 Genaro Garcia. It wasn't pretty, but the legend's son got the best win of his career on the Telemundo main event by fighting patiently, waiting for Garcia to make mistakes, and not relenting when he finally hurt Garcia on a flurry of hooks. Don't be surprised if Vasquez gets a shot at a title when Juanma Lopez moves to 126.
2. Moruti Mthlane UD12 Julio Cesar Miranda. Mthlane won a wide decision, capturing the belt that was vacated by Nonito Donaire. Nick Durant, who also trained Simphiwe Nongqayi, Isaac Hlathswayo and Malcolm Klassen, is on my short list for trainer of the year this year.
3. Zolani Tete KO1 Anthony Mathias. Just an interesting name to keep in mind. At 12-0, he's already cleaned out a very strong South African flyweight division (other than Mthlane), winning all but one bout by knockout. Only a year ago, it was feared his career would be over due to severe epilepsy, but he seems to have come back, and on paper, he looks like as promising of a flyweight prospect as anyone.
4. Avtandil Khurtsidze TKO8 Kuvanych Toygonbayev. Khurtsidze is working his way towards mandatory status in the middleweight division for the WBA.
5. Kaleb Truax UD10 Kerry Hope. Truax improves to 13-0, and his handlers might want to try to take the next step with him.
