Indio, Calif.

--Pablo Cesar Cano survived a major scare from Juan Carlos Abreu to take a majority decision in their 10-round welterweight bout Friday evening at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California.

Scores were 95-95 even, overruled by tallies of 96-94 and 97-93 in favor of Cano (28-4-1, 21KOs), who picks up his second win in the span of barely three weeks. 

FULL REPORT TO COME...

UNDERCARD

Diego de la Hoya picked up the biggest win of his career, scoring an eight-round decision over Manuel Roman.

Scores were 80-72 across the board in favor of de la Hoya (9-0, 6KOs), who perhaps won every round but was forced to work hard throughout the contest. The fight was a huge step up in class for the unbeaten super bantamweight prospect, whose older cousin is famous Hall of Famer former fighter-turned-active-promoter Oscar de la Hoya. 

Roman (17-4-3, 6KOs) has now lost two straight. The Mexican boxer was coming off of a two-round knockout loss to unbeaten 122 lb. titlist Leo Santa Cruz last September.

Super-sized heavyweight Taishan Dong opened up the Fox Sports 1 telecast with a four-round decision over Roy McCrary. Scores were 40-34 (twice) and 39-35 in favor of the 7'0" Taishan (3-0, 2KOs), who dropped McCrary in round three but was still given a bit of a fight the rest of the way.
