Khegai’s corner kept trying to encourage their fighter with the hope that he could potentially knock Espinoza out, but the challenger landed plenty of good shots and just wasn’t able to dent the champion.</p><p class="has-text-align-none">Espinoza dented Khegai plenty, leaving his face bloody and and swollen.</p><p class="has-text-align-none">It was a fourth defense of the belt that Espinoza, 31, won just under two years ago, and all of the defenses have come by stoppage. There are some really intriguing potential fights out there for the Mexican star in 2026, including potential unifications with Nick Ball, Angelo Leo, or O’Shaquie Foster vs Stephen Fulton winner.</p><p class="has-text-align-none">On the undercard, Emiliano Vargas (16-0, 13 KO) stayed unbeaten, but the 21-year-old super lightweight prospect got a good 10 rounds out of New Orleans’ Jonathan Montrel (19-4, 13 KO), who put the young man through the paces even if he was never any threat to win. If nothing else, Montrel’s ability to hang in, defend himself for a full 10 rounds, and land some shots gave Vargas some live-rounds pointers on what needs to be improved and tightened up.</p><p class="has-text-align-none">Heavyweight prospect Richard Torrez Jr went to 14-0 (12 KO) with another pointless first round stoppage, blasting through Tomas Salek (23-8, 14 KO) with no trouble.</p><p class="has-text-align-none">The night’s show-stealing fight was probably the IBF super lightweight eliminator between Lindolfo Delgado (24-0, 16 KO) and Gabriel Gollaz (31-5-1, 17 KO), which Delgado won by debatable split decision. Delgado is now in line for a fight with IBF titleholder Richardson Hitchins, which would be a very tough style matchup for the 30-year-old Mexican.</p>)

With the momentum high and LeBron James set to make his return from injury soon, they are now set to play five of their next six games at home.</p><p>"To go 3-2 on a trip like this early in the year is good," Austin Reaves said, who finished the game with 25 points in the win. "You wish you played a little better against Atlanta and OKC... you're going to have nights like that and you have to learn to move on."</p><p>The Lakers found a way to get it done at the Fiserv Forum with two starters out of the lineup, a game that was lifted behind a perfect first half that had them up 31 points at halftime. </p><p>Luka Dončić was the catalyst of the Lakers, notching his fourth 40-point game of the season and 50th of his career. After 21 points in the first half, Dončić poured in 15 points in the third quarter to help the Lakers stay at bay from a charging, new-life Bucks team.</p><p>Milwaukee went on to outscore the Lakers 38-27 in the third, but Dončić, who finished with 41 points (nine rebounds, six assists), and Reaves took over. </p><p>Dončić's stellar third quarter was followed by a Reaves fourth quarter that stopped any chance of a comeback by the Bucks, hitting three big-time 3s when the Lakers needed a bucket most.</p><p>Giannis Antetokounmpo still put up a big performance against the Lakers, willing his way to the foul line throughout the game, scoring 13 of his 31 points from the charity stripe.</p><p>The Lakers will have the next two days off before their next matchup, which will be at home on Tuesday against the Jazz. This will be the first of two straight games versus Utah.</p>)
