LAS VEGAS -- Frustrated in his big fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. Ricardo Lockette Jersey ., Canelo Alvarez found a much easier target in Alfredo Angulo. Alvarez battered a game but outclassed Angulo on Saturday night before stopping him with an uppercut that prompted referee Tony Weeks to move in at 47 seconds of the 10th round of their junior middleweight fight. Alvarez (43-1-1) never was able to put down Angulo (22-4), but hit him throughout the fight with hard combinations that almost always found their mark. By the middle rounds, the only suspense left was whether Angulo could go the distance. The fight was in marked contrast to the last bout for Alvarez, who was dominated by Mayweather in the richest bout ever. But while Mayweather was the master of defence, Angulo was there to be hit all night long -- and Alvarez did just that. "Tonight, I was the best fighter and definitely rebounded from the Mayweather fight with my performance," Alvarez said. Angulo, who was never close to going down, protested when Weeks moved in to stop the fight after a big left uppercut to the head. Before the 10th round began, Angulos corner had pleaded with the ring doctor to give their fighter one more round to try and turn things around. "Im upset because they should have let the fight go on," Angulo said. "Im fine and I was fighting." Angulo never stopped going forward, but he paid a price, taking shot after shot to the head as Alvarez teed off seemingly at will. Alvarez won all but one of the first nine rounds on two ringside scorecards, and two on the third. The Associated Press had him winning eight of the first nine rounds. Ringside punching stats were just as lopsided, with Alvarez landing 295 punches to 104 for Angulo. The ending was booed by many in the crowd that filled the MGM Grand arena for the junior middleweight showdown between the two Mexican fighters. There was no title at stake, but the 23-year-old Alvarez seemed determined to win big to erase memories of the loss to Mayweather, the only one of his career. He landed the first left hook he threw seconds into the fight and it was quickly apparent that Angulo would have no answer for his speed and power. "He wanted to please the fans because he felt in the Mayweather fight he let a lot of people down," promoter Richard Schaefer said. "Canelo was not satisfied with just the win. He came to make a statement and you saw that." Alvarez was already a big star when he met Mayweather in September, but the red-haired fan favourite was frustrated by Mayweathers defence and lost almost every round. He said before this fight that he learned a lot against Mayweather, and vowed to show it in his comeback fight. The only time Angulo even seemed to be in the fight was in the eighth round when he landed some good punches to the head and kept advancing. But Alvarez came back to dominate the ninth round, prompting the ring doctor to look at Angulo between rounds to see whether he could continue. "I was so secure in my jab and my stamina was there," Alvarez said. "Of course I was a little tired, its boxing. But I was ready to finish the fight and even go 10 more rounds." Alvarez was guaranteed $1.15 million to $850,000 for Angulo. The purses were adjusted when Alvarez agreed to pay $100,000 to Angulo on Friday to raise the weight limit to 155 pounds from 154 because he couldnt make the original weight. Before the main event, Alvarez watched from his dressing room as his brother, Ricardo Alvarez, was knocked down twice on the way to a decision loss to Sergio Thompson in a 135-pound fight. Thompson was the harder hitting fighter from the opening bell, winning easily on one scorecard and narrowly on the other two in taking the 10-round decision. In another undercard fight, Leo Santa Cruz remained unbeaten in defending his 122-pound title with a lopsided decision win over Cristian Mijares of Mexico. Santa Cruz, who lives in Los Angeles, shook off a cut near his right eye from a head butt in the fourth round to win every round on two ringside scorecards and all but one round on the third in improving to 27-0-1. Mijares, a former 115-pound champion, fell to 48-8-2. Earl Thomas III Womens Jersey . LUCIE, Fla. 12th Fan Womens Jersey .

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Clint Bowyer was in a strange predicament a couple months ago. The veteran driver already had lined up sponsorship for next season, no easy task in a sluggish economy, but he couldnt seem to work out an agreement to remain with Richard Childress Racing. So, Bowyer looked elsewhere and took his sponsorship right along with him. On Friday, Michael Waltrip Racing announced that it had signed Bowyer to a three-year deal to drive the No. 15 Toyota next season. The sponsor, 5-hour ENERGY, will come on board for 24 races beginning with the Daytona 500, leaving the team with a dozen sponsorship dates left to fill. "I see their performance improving week-in and week-out. I had to work my butt off to make sure I was on top of them," Bowyer said of his new team during a news conference at Kansas Speedway. "I see this as a wonderful opportunity for me to prove myself." Bowyers contract with RCR will quietly expire after a moderately successful six-year run that included four wins and three Chase appearances. Bowyer said he took his potential sponsor to Childress a few months ago but could never get an assurance about his status for next season. "Its a shame. I owe a great deal to Richard," Bowyer said. "Ive never been in a situation where I had a sponsor that came to me and said, We would like to have you. Youre the asset. So I felt a responsibility to go to an organization where I can build a brand." That wound up being Michael Waltrip Racing, where Bowyer will join a team, featuring David Reutimann and Martin Truex Jr., that has never qualified for the Chase. "It was the No. 1 thing on our radar screen at the start of this year. We felt we had built our organization to where we felt we could contend for Chase spots," Waltrip said. "Having guys like David and Martin and Clint, were poised. Were on the brink of that." News of the deal began leaking out last weekend at Dover, but Bowyer wanted to wait until the Cup series came to KKansas Speedway to make a formal announcement. Seahawks Jersey. The native of Emporia, Kan., considers the 1 1/2-mile trioval to be his home track. Bowyer still holds several records at nearby Lakeside Speedway from his dirt-track days, and the location allowed many of his friends and family to attend the announcement. Scott Miller, RCRs director of competition since 2003, also will be joining Waltrips team. "We now believe were structured exactly how we want to be," Waltrip said. "Were bringing a guy in Scott Miller aboard who has guided teams to the Chase and competed for championships." Waltrips team still has plenty of ground to cover before that happens. Since expanding to a full-time operation in 200, the team has just two wins, and the closest it has come to qualifying for the Chase was Reutimanns 16th-place finish in 2009. Reutimann has struggled much of the season, running second at Kentucky but netting one other top-10 finish. "Were adding cars and sponsors, and a lot of teams havent been as fortunate," Reutimann said. "It should help on the competition side, and it never hurts to have teammates out there." Truex has fared slightly better during a wildly inconsistent year, with two top-5s and eight top-10s, including a second-place finish at Bristol in August. "Clints going to be a really good addition to Michael Waltrip Racing," Truex said. "Its going to be good to have someone of his calibre and experience join our team." Bowyer immediately becomes Waltrips most high-profile driver, though the owner refused to anoint him as such. Bowyers departure from RCR should give Childress time to get his grandsons, Austin and Ty Dillon, seat time over the next few years. Austin is scheduled to make his Cup debut Sunday, and the plan is for him to eventually slide into a full-time ride. Bowyer promised there will be no hard feelings. "Its all about the future," he said with a smile. "The futures bright." cheap jerseyscheap jerseys from china' ' '
