Boxing Challenge

  Since time is short from the weekend wrap-up, here is a just-the-facts recap for the boxing challenge and keeping the points straight.

IBF Junior Lightweight champion Joe Cordina retained his title in Monte Carlo over Edward Vazquez by majority decision.

Official scores of 116-112 twice for Cordina and the third judge scoring 114-114.

My score was 114-114.

Adrien Curiel upset Sivenathi Nothshinga with a devastating right hand in the second round to stop Nothshings and win the IBF light flyweight title on the Cordina-Vazquez undercard.

In Lake Tahoe, heavyweight Efe Ajagba stopped Australia's Joe Goodall in four rounds, while undefeated lightweight contender Raymond Muratalla was very impressive in stopping the previously unbeaten Diego Torres in eight rounds.

In Miami, Noel Mikaelian stopped Illunga Makabu in three rounds to win the WBC cruiserweight title that was vacated by Badou Jack.

Mikaelin knocked Makabu down in the second and third before the fight was ended.
