Santa Cruz outpoints Guevara, defends IBF belt

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Leo Santa Cruz defended his IBF bantamweight title with a unanimous decision over Alberto Guevara on Saturday in the first live boxing match on CBS in 15 years. Santa Cruz (23-0-1, 13 KOs) won his third defense of his 118-pound belt in just over three months with steady aggression against Guevara (16-1), who performed well despite taking the fight on three weeks' notice. Yet the Mexican-born champion who fights out of nearby Lincoln Heights promptly lost the first two rounds, with Guevara repeatedly beating him to the punch with combinations and superior movement. Santa Cruz had the challenger in steady retreat for long stretches of the remaining rounds, and Guevara's relatively meager power wasn't enough to back up the champion.
