BOXING

Garcia wins pro debut by knockout

Javier "Pelos" Garcia continued the Garcia legacy with a second-round knockout in his pro debut Thursday night at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Garcia came out relaxed and patient in the first round, but landed with overhand rights that left some bruising over his opponent's left eye.

In the second round Garcia floored his opponent with body shots that sent him to the ground and was then counted out. Garcia almost didn't fight when his original opponent, Freudas Rojas, did not pass his eye exam. Luckily, a replacement was found and Garcia agreed to fight at 138 pounds instead of the original 135 while his opponent weighed in at 142.

GOLF

Oak Park's Kang earns first AJGA win

Oak Park's Alex Kang earned his first AJGA victory Friday with a three-day total of 10-under-par 203 in the Tee Up Junior Challenge at Industry Hills Golf Club. Sarah Salvo of Glendale finished at 1-over-par 214 to win her second AJGA Open Championship event of the season.

Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Tee Up Junior Challenge was a 54-hole stroke-play event featuring 60 boys and 24 girls, ages 12-18. Four states and one foreign country were represented, with 74 juniors from California. The event was staged on the Industry Hills Golf Club's par-71 Zaharias Course with boys' tees set at 6,635 yards and girls' tees at 5,983.

Kang entered the final round of the challenge with a four-stroke lead and never looked back. He said he knew he was in the lead going into No. 18, and with a five-stroke cushion he played the hole with less apprehension and more gut.

In a five-way tie for second place at 6-under-par 207 were Paul Mitzel of Mercer Island, Wash.; Andrew Perez of Oxnard; Ramsey Sahyoun of Reseda; Michael Jae Woo Im of Fullerton; and Hyun Seok Lim of Fullerton.

Oxnard's Michael Casca finished with a 220 and Westlake Village's Jason Rosenkranz finished with a score of 232.
