ARLINGTON, Texas -- In an audition for a possible Dec. 10 fight against Canelo Alvarez, middleweight Willie Monroe Jr. defeated Gabriel Rosado, but he did little to enhance his chances of landing the coveted money fight in a lackluster decision win on the Alvarez-Liam Smith undercard Saturday night at AT&T Stadium.Rosado and Monroe, who were both knocked out by Gennady Golovkin in world title fights, were both under consideration to challenge British world titleholder Billy Joe Saunders in the co-feature, but when he rejected fighting both of them, as well as Curtis Stevens, Golden Boy Promotions matched Rosado and Monroe.The judges scored it 118-110, 117-111 and 116-112 in a fight that featured little clean punching and elicited booing from the crowd throughout.I just want to thank God for this 21st victory. Hopefully, I performed and they want to bring me back, Monroe said.Monroes movement and quick jab seemed to throw the hard-charging Rosado off, keeping him from landing too many clean shots. Neither man landed many clean punches in a boring cat-and-mouse fight that saw an aggressive, stalking Rosado (23-10, 13 KOs), 30, of Philadelphia, going straight ahead, as usual, and Monroe (21-2, 6 KOs), a 29-year-old southpaw from Rochester, New York, boxing, moving and countering.I thought I was going to be strong tonight, but I felt tight, Rosado said. It was a tough fight, I think I should have used my jab more. I mean, he was a decent fighter.Rosado, in his third fight with trainer and former world titleholder Fernando Vargas, landed a left hook that dropped Monroe to his backside at the end of the ninth round, but referee Laurence Cole ruled that the blow apparently was after the bell and did not call a knockdown.It was one exciting moment in a otherwise forgettable fight in which neither fighter turned in the kind of performance that would excite anyone about a fight with Alvarez.Diaz stops bloody CancioFeatherweight Joseph Diaz Jr. (22-0, 13 KOs), a 2012 U.S. Olympian who could challenge for a world title in 2017, thoroughly dominated Andrew Cancio (17-4-2, 13 KOs) en route to a one-sided ninth-round knockout.This is a great victory. It will open up so many doors for me moving forward, Diaz said. I felt very comfortable, I was the better puncher, I was faster and was able to cut off the ring more efficiently. I knew that Cancio was going to be a strong guy. I knew he was going to be tough and try to push me around, so I had to be the better fighter tonight. I was able to display my defense and my power.Diaz, a 23-year-old southpaw from South El Monte, California, has already defeated former world-title challenger Jayson Velez, and looked sharp against Cancio, especially with his left hand. He tagged the slower Cancio, 27, of Blythe, California, with it repeatedly and opened a cut on the bridge of his nose in the third round.In the fifth round, Diaz put together combinations that pushed Cancio back as the fight became more and more one-sided. By the eighth round, the cut was bad and dripping blood into Cancios mouth before he would spit it to the canvas.Diaz continued to take it to the bloody Cancio in the ninth round, and when his corner threw in the towel, referee Gregorio Alvarez stepped in at 2 minutes, 26 seconds.Cancio was tired, and he was badly hurt, trainer Daniel Garcia Jr. said. He was not up for finishing the fight, and I we could not let it continue.Said Cancio: He was the better fighter, and he got me with multiple shots throughout the fight. The cut over my nose didnt bother me in the first couple of rounds, but when it didnt stop, it blurred my vision and started to distract me.Mexican junior featherweight prospect Diego De La Hoya (16-0, 9 KOs), the first cousin of promoter and Hall of Famer Oscar De La Hoya, took a solid step up in the level of his opposition and soundly outboxed Luis Orlando Del Valle (22-3, 16 KOs) in a unanimous decision. The judges had it 100-90, 99-91 and 99-91.De La Hoya, 22, landed many quick counter punches against the slower Del Valle and controlled the entire fight. In the sixth round, De La Hoya landed a left hand that sent an off-balance Del Valle reeling backward before unleashing a flurry.We knew this fight was going to be difficult. We knew we were going up against an opponent who had a flood of experience, De La Hoya said. There were moments where the fight was complicated, but I was able to hurt him consistently with shots to the head. My most effective shot was the uppercut, and once I found that out, I consistently used it. Im glad for the victory. To bring this fight for all the Mexican fans tonight in front of such a venue has been a dream come true for me.Del Valle, 29, of Puerto Rico, landed his share of hard shots, including some solid right hands, but De La Hoya did not seem too bothered by any of them. By the end of the fight, the right side of Del Valles face was swollen as his four-fight winning streak ended.I know how I performed in the ring. I trained hard, brought my skills to the ring and left it all there, Del Valle said. He was the better fighter, and thats that. There are no excuses on my part. I wish Diego the best.Welterweight contender Sadam Ali (23-1, 13 KOs), 27, of Brooklyn, New York, rolled to a near-shutout decision against Saul Corral (22-8, 13 KOs), 29, of Mexico, in his first fight since suffering his first loss. Ali won 99-90, 99-90 and 99-91 as he rebounded from a ninth-round knockout to Jessie Vargas in a fight for a vacant welterweight world title on March 5.The plan was to get the knockout, but that didnt happen with this victory, Ali said. My opponent definitely had a Mexican style to him, and I was not expecting the reach he had with his arms. I knew I hurt him in the exchange of blows in the fourth round and other times throughout the fight. This is still the win I needed and worked hard for, and I know the next fight I am in will demonstrate my will power.Ali, a 2008 U.S. Olympian, dominated from the opening bell. But he had his biggest moments in the fourth round when he rocked Corral with a left hand about a minute into the round and continued to land clean punches before finally knocking him down with a right hand on the chin. Corral beat the count but took a beating for the rest of the round.Corral came into the fight riding a three-fight winning streak since suffering a third-round knockout loss to former junior welterweight titleholder Mike Alvarado on March 19.Junior welterweight Vergil Ortiz Jr. (2-0, 2 KOs), an 18-year-old prospect from Dallas, scored a devastating first-round knockout of Ernesto Hernandez (1-4, 1 KO), 28, of El Paso, Texas. Ortiz knocked him out cold with a single right hand to the chin 40 seconds into the fight.Lightweight prospect Hector Tanajara Jr. (6-0, 4 KOs), a 19-year-old from San Antonio, dominated Roy Garcia (3-20-1, 2 KOs), 31, of Alice, Texas, in a shutout decision. Tanajara won 40-36 on all three scorecards and picked apart the game Garcia. He showed patience, a strong jab and an assortment of punches.Bantamweight prospect Joshua Franco (7-0, 4 KOs), 20, of San Antonio, scored all three of his knockdowns against Mexicos Brian Bazan (9-3, 6 KOs) on left uppercuts in an explosive fourth-round knockout victory. Franco connected with two clean uppercuts on Bazans chin to drop him twice in the third round. He barely made it out of the round, but 19 seconds into the fourth round Franco landed another one and knocked him flat on his back.I feel amazing getting the knockout in front of all my fans, Franco said. This was only a taste of the things to come. I think my performance showed that I can take on any opponent. I knew the first time he fell that it would only take a couple of shots until I could get the knockout.Brooklyn, New York, junior welterweight prospect Zachary Ochoa (16-0, 7 KOs) cruised to a decision win against Mexicos Daniel Montoya (11-5, 8 KOs). Ochoa, 23, won 80-72 on one card and 79-73 on the other two. He easily outboxed Montoya, 26, and kept a stiff jab in his face throughout the bout.I knew I could stop him, but I hurt my knuckle in the second round blocking his right-hand hook and counter punching him with my left hook, Ochoa said. He was a tough guy, resilient, but I was in control the whole time. I knew my body shots were hurting him, and I continued doing that to break him down. I knew going in it was going to be a tough fight, but we trained exactly for this, and we are ready to take on the next talented fighter.Junior middleweight Alexis Salazar (13-3, 6 KOs), who is part of Alvarezs camp, won a six-round decision against Larry Smith (10-29-1, 6 KOs), of Dallas. Salazar, 21, of Mexico, won 60-54 on two scorecards and 58-56 on the third.British cruiserweight Anthony Yarde (8-0, 7 KOs), 25, made his United States debut by knocking out Rayford Johnson (11-22, 5 KOs), of Longview, Texas, at 2 minutes, 10 seconds of the first round in their scheduled six-round fight. Yarde caught him with a left hook along the ropes, and he was out on his feet.Obviously, Im happy to get the win, but I was trying to carry him a bit, Yarde said. I wanted more time in the ring. I wanted to get some rounds in and take in more of this experience in AT&T Stadium. Thats why I didnt follow up after I hit him with my left hook. But overall I got the win, so Im content with that.

MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin would like to develop some passing options to complement its running game.With Big Ten play looming, the ninth-ranked Badgers matchup on Saturday against Georgia State serves as the final nonconference tuneup for first-year starting quarterback Bart Houston and a receiving corps looking to provide balance on offense.If we continue to improve on the offensive line, and the tight ends, fullbacks, weve got a chance. If we improve on our route-running and throwing, location ... weve got a chance, coach Paul Chryst said. So I wouldnt limit this group, but weve got to get better.Wisconsin (2-0) could get an opportunity to get in some valuable work in the passing game against the Panthers this weekend at Camp Randall Stadium. Georgia State (0-2) is coming off a 48-14 loss at Air Force in Week 2.That defeat left Georgia State coach Trent Miles steaming mad this week.We were horrible, Miles said. We didnt play good football -- fundamentals and basics of blocking and tackling, kicking and throwing and catching.It probably wont get any easier on Saturday.Chryst had his team focused and prepared in Week 2 in a 54-10 win over Akron. Houston, a senior, was 15 of 22 for 231 yards with two scores. He shook off a couple questionable throws for near-picks and showed off his strong right arm.The goal is for Houston to keep developing into a threat who can make defenses think twice about stacking the box to stop top running back Corey Clement.Just opens up the defense, keep them on their toes, receiver Jazz Peavy said . You dont know whos going to be doing what.Other notes and things to watch as Wisconsin goes for a 37th straight win in a nonconference home game:CLEMENT TIME: The senior was added to the injury report on Thursday as questionable after he rolled his left ankle late in the second quarter of last weeks victory over the Zips. Chryst said Clement practiced on Monday but hadnt done much more through the week. With a trip to No. 12 Michigaan State coming up on Sept.dddddddddddd. 24, dont be surprised if Clement sits. Sophomore Taiwan Deal and freshman Bradrick Shaw should get valuable snaps, though senior Dare Ogunbowale figures to get the start.JAZZ HANDS: Peavy had a breakout game last week with seven catches for 100 yards and two scores from Houston. Senior receiver Robert Wheelwright is off to a good start, too, with eight catches for a team-high 159 yards over his first two games. In the season-opening victory over LSU, tight end Troy Fumagalli had the big day with seven catches for 100 yards. If the receivers keep developing with Houston, the passing game will have three legitimate options for the first time in a few years.MILES FROM WISCONSIN: Georgia States head coach has some experience in Wisconsin after having served as an offensive assistant for the NFLs Green Bay Packers. At Georgia State, Miles heads a program that is just in its fourth year as an FBS school.PANTHERS D: Georgia State has experience on defense, listing six seniors and three juniors as starters. The bad news for the defense is that it has allowed 789 yards rushing and nine touchdowns on 135 carries through two games against Ball State and option-oriented Air Force. Wisconsin should be able to run the ball even without Clement.BADGERS D: The left leg injury that Natrell Jamerson suffered in the win over Akron means that the Badgers must find a new third cornerback. After starters Sojourn Shelton and Derrick Tindal, junior Lubern Figaro is the next most experienced player on the depth chart. The possibility of promising freshman Caesar Williams seeing action for the first time this year at corner disappeared after he was ruled out on Thursday with a left leg injury.---Online: AP College Football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org/---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP ' ' '
