Anaheim, CA (My Sportsbook) - Humberto Soto retained his WBC lightweight belt Saturday night with a unanimous decision over Urbano Antillon at the Honda Center. Soto (54-7-2) was victorious in his third title defense, but only after a hard-fought battle with a fighter in his first title bout. He squeaked by on two cards that were scored 114-113 and one that was 115-112. Antillon (28-2) was deducted a point by referee Ray Corona in the fifth round because of low blows -- a costly turn of events -- and he was cut by an accidental head butt in the sixth. Also on Saturday, Pawel Wolak (28-1) earned a seventh-round technical knockout of Jose Pinzon (18-2-1) after Wolak's scheduled opponent, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., pulled out because of the flu. |
