In boxing action, the national here of the Phillipines, Manny Pacquiao, defended his WBC International Super Featherweight belt against undefeated Mexican fighter Jorge Solis.

Solis' unorthodox style gave the champ a bit of difficulty in the early rounds, and a clash of heads opened up a cut over the eye of Pacquiao. But the champ pressed the action and put Solis down for the count in the 8th round. Needless to say, the San Antonio boxing fans went home happy last night.
