COMPLETE FIGHT RESULTS AND PHOTOS FROM MANDALAY BAY By Ed de la Vega, DDS PhilBoxing.com Sun, 12 Dec 2010  Las Vegas, NV: Amir Khan (24-1-0-17KO) last night barely escaped with a very close unanimous decision over the tough Argentinean, Marcos Maidana (29-2-0, 27KO). Khan dropped Maidana in the first round via two vicious shots to the liver area but Maidana avoided an early ending of the fight by recovering nicely as the fight progressed. In round 10 he rocked Khan pretty badly and almost turned the table on Khan. The scores were 114-111, 114-111 and 113-112. Khan retained his WBA Super lightweight title.  In the supporting main event, Victor Ortiz (28-2-2, 22KO) knocked down a very determined Lamont Peterson (28-1-1,14KO) twice in round thee but was unable to continue the assault and Peterson was able to recover nicely and almost stole a victory from Ortiz. The judges scores were 95-93 (Peterson) and 94-94, 94-94 making the fight a majority draw.  Joan Guzman (31-0-1, 18KO) kept his unbeaten record via a 2nd round TKO over Jason Davis (11-8-1,3KO) by softening his young opponent with two low blows in round 1. The fouls apparently weaken Davis and in round two he had nothing left to fight. Davis? corner threw in the towel when they saw that their man had nothing to answer Guzman.  Heavyweight Seth Mitchell (20-0-1,14KO) knocked out Taurus Sykes ( 25-7-1, 7KO) in round 5. Mitchell dropped a very tired Sykes with a right hook that did not even solidly connect and Sykes simply collapse from fatigue.  Lightweight Sharif Bogere 18-0-0, 11KO) of New York, via Uganda won a clear unanimous decision over Chris Fernandez ( 19-111-1, 11KO)of Salt Lake City. The scores were all 80-72. Bogere came up the ring wearing a full blown lion skin complete with the lion?s head while Fernandez showed off his Native American heritage by coming in with a replica of a Native American Indian head dress.  In a battle between two Las Vegas resident super lightweights, Jessie Vargas (13-0-0, 7KO) won over Ramon Montano (17-9-2, 2KO) via unanimous decision. The scores were 78-74,79-73 and 80-72.  Jamie Kavanaugh of Hollywood, CA (4-0-0, 2KO) barely broke a sweat in stopping an outclassed Jacob Thorton ( 2-2-0) of St Louis, Mo. Kavanaugh took a mere 44 seconds to end the fight.  Rudy Caballero ( 6-0-0, 4KO) of Coachella Valley, CA kept his record clean via a unanimous decision over Robert Guillen (5-9-3, 1KO) of Glendale, Arizona. The scores from the three judges were all 40-35.
