CARSON, Calif. -- Jhonny Gonzalez stopped Abner Mares late in the first round Saturday night, reclaiming the WBC featherweight title in stunning fashion. Leo Santa Cruz also won the WBC 122-pound title at the StubHub Center south of Hollywood, stopping Victor Terrazas in the third round. Gonzalez (55-8, 47 KOs) dropped the previously unbeaten Mares twice late in the first round, flattening the 126-pound belt-holder with a left hook. Mares appeared to be hurt when he got back up, and the Mexican challenger knocked him down again with a combination along the ropes. Referee Jack Reiss stopped the fight with 5 seconds left in the first round. Gonzalez is known for his impressive knockout power, but the 31-year-old veteran from Mexico City also has been stopped three times in his up-and-down career. Gonzalez held the WBC title for nearly 18 months before losing it to Daniel Ponce De Leon in a technical decision last September, and he was knocked down during one of his two previous victories this year. Mares (26-1-1) held titles at 118 and 122 pounds before claiming the featherweight belt last May, stopping Ponce De Leon for his third world title belt. The popular Los Angeles-area fighter had sizable crowd support, but Gonzalez silenced his fans with two dramatic knockdowns. Santa Cruz (25-0-1, 15 KOs), the former IBF 118-pound champion from nearby Lincoln Heights, picked up another impressive victory with a swift stoppage of Terrazas. After controlling the first two rounds, Santa Cruz knocked his opponent down twice in the third round with a left hook and a big right hand. Terrazas got up both times, but referee Lou Moret stepped in with 51 seconds left in the third. Terrazas (37-3-1), whose face was swollen after the first two rounds, won the vacant WBC title with a split decision over Cristian Mijares in April. Santa Cruz has knocked out four of his last five opponents. He could be the next opponent for Mares, since promoters Golden Boy and Top Rank refuse to work together for a much-discussed fight pitting Mares against 122-pound star Nonito Donaire.

Chukwuma Okorafor Jersey . -- Michael Bennett gambled last off-season that playing on a one-year deal in Seattle would pay off in the future with the long-term contract he always wanted. Louis Lipps Jersey . The defending champions sent their preliminary list to FIFA on Tuesday, with coach Vicente del Bosque to announce the final 23-man squad on May 25. Costa is set to lead the attack in his native Brazil, with Atletico Madrid teammate David Villa and Chelseas Fernando Torres also included, while David de Gea replaces injured goalkeeper Victor Valdes.Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - There are still 10 undefeated teams left at the Division I level with less than a month gone in the 2014-15 season. Some of those squads who have yet to suffer a loss are familiar names, as nobody is surprised that talent-rich programs like Kentucky, Duke and Arizona are all sitting pretty with a goose egg in the loss column. For teams like TCU (8-0), Colorado State (8-0), Northern Iowa (8-0) and Washington (7-0), the undefeated look is a new one. The real intrigue now lies in determining which squads are for real, and which are destined for a harsh dose of reality in the coming weeks. In Fort Worth, fans may be consumed by disappointment over TCUs rejection from the College Football Playoff, but the Horned Frogs faithful have had plenty to cheer about on the court. TCU has never been much of a basketball power, with only two NCAA Tournament appearances in the last 40 years. The Horned Frogs have had a losing record in eight of the last nine seasons, including a 9-22 debacle in 2013-14. That is what makes their 8-0 success rate through the month of November and the beginning of December so startling. Sure, they have yet to really take down any team considered top notch, although triumphs over Mississippi State (61-52) and on the road against Ole Miss (66-54) are solid for sure. However, just the fact that the Horned Frogs are within reach of 10 wins before February is an accomplishment. TCUs success has been and will need to continue to be built on defense, as it ranks 10th in the country in opponent field goal percentage (.349). With a roster made up of a host of supplementary scorers (Kyan Anderson (12.5 ppg) is the only consistent double-digit threat), the Horned Frogs better hope their defense holds up. The Pac-12 has two of the remaining unbeaten teams, but Washington wasnt the lock to have the kind of the start that Arizona was. Coming off back-to-back seasons with moderate success, the Huskies did not seem to be headed in the right direction and that meant the heat was increasing under Lorenzo Romars seat on the bench. A 6-0 start didnt exactly wipe all that away, but the seventh win might have bought Romar some more time. The Huskies hosted then No. 13 San Diego State on Sunday and thanks tto some suffocating defense, escaped with a 49-36 victory.dddddddddddd Was it a pretty win? Absolutely not, but it counts just the same as any of its previous victories in the standings. In the minds of college basketball fans and pundits alike, it weighs even heavier. As with TCU, Washington can thank its commitment to defense for not only its win over the Aztecs, but its overall success. The Huskies are sixth in the country in opponent field goal percentage (.336), thanks to some excellent rim protection. They are blocking seven shots per game, which is tied for sixth in the nation. Robert Upshaw leads the way, swatting four shots per contest. Length, first of all, Romar said when asked why his team has been so strong defensively. We have more shot blockers as opposed to last year when we were so small that if you got near the rim we wouldnt make you pay for it. But this year we make you pay for it. Of course, for all the defensive superlatives for the Horned Frogs and Huskies, they are still ranked outside the top-30 in terms of adjusted defensive efficiency according to the Ken Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings. That fact makes the hopes of continued domination seem that much more precarious, especially as these teams enter January and the crunch of playing teams from power conferences every night. Meanwhile, Colorado State and Northern Iowa may be able to hide a bit in the more diluted Mountain West and Missouri Valley Conferences, respectively. That is not to say that the Rams and Panthers are not strong teams. Colorado State has wins over Georgia State (80-70) and UC Santa Barbara (65-63), which are impressive at the mid-major level. Northern Iowa has its fair share of mid-major wins, a 79-77 overtime triumph at Stephen F. Austin perhaps the most eye-opening. The Panthers also defeated Virginia Tech (73-54) and Northwestern (61-42) to log some wins against power conference teams, albeit weaker ones. It also is worth mentioning that of the teams discussed above, Northern Iowa is the second-highest in Pomeroys overall ratings, sitting at 38th. Washington is ranked 35th, while TCU (58) and Colorado State (70) are further down the list. The Huskies (17) and Panthers (23) are the only teams ranked in AP Top-25 as well.
