Canelo-Jacobs live undercard results: Espino dominates Wagner in decision win

Next fight: John Ryder vs. Bilal Akkawy, 12 rounds, for vacant WBA interim super middleweight title

• Featherweight Aram Avagyan (8-0-1, 4 KOs), 28, of Russia, making his United States debut, got off the deck from a second-round knockdown to otherwise win a convincing unanimous decision over Francisco Esparza (9-1-1, 3 KOs), 24, of Las Vegas. It was not a hard knockdown and Avagyan quickly collected himself and went on to win by scores of 97-92, 96-93 and 96-93.

• Middleweight Alexis Espino (2-0, 1 KO), 19, of Las Vegas, who turned pro in February with a second-round knockout win, went the distance in a one-sided battering of Billy Wagner (1-1, 0 KOs), 26, of Great Falls, Montana. Espino beat him pillar to post for the entire fight in a shutout decision scored 39-34, 39-34 and 39-35. In the second round, referee Jay Nady penalized Espino one point for hitting Wagner with a right hand when he was down on the canvas. He did not count the knockdown either and gave Wagner time to recover.
