His majority decision against the game heavyweight from Riverside gives Poland something to cheer about in wake of recent troubles.

Boxing's heavyweight division, a general bore to the public for several years with the dominance of the Klitschko brothers, finally got an old-time, rock 'em, sock 'em show Saturday night.

A card featuring heavyweight contender Cris Arreola draws more than 6,000 to Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, and organizers hope it will be just the first of many such programs.

Brothers Jose and Daniel Roman from Riverside are big boxing fans, but until Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario was constructed last year, their options to watch a match were restricted to hotel ballrooms, casino parking lots or a lengthy drive to a pricey seat at Staples Center.

Vanessa Zamarripa and Brittani McCullough add to Friday's team championship with vault and floor titles, respectively. Stanford's Carly Janiga wins the uneven bars.

— UCLA Coach Valorie Kondos Field had grown tired of the "S-E-C" chants.
