A roundup of the past weeks notable boxing results from around the world:Saturday at Anaheim, Calif.David Emanuel Peralta W12 Robert Guerrero Welterweight Scores: 116-112, 115-113 Peralta, 115-113 Guerrero Records: Peralta (26-2-1, 14 KOs); Guerrero (33-5-1, 18 KOs)Rafaels remarks: When a fighter is matched softly their opponent is often called a cab driver, a snarky way of describing a guy given virtually no chance to win. Peralta, who turns 34 on Wednesday, certainly fit the description. Literally. A part-time fighter, his actual job is that of a cab driver in his native Argentina. He had a nice record and was brought to the United States -- as a massive underdog -- to fight for the first time against Guerrero, 31, of Gilroy, California, who was badly in need of a win coming off a loss for a vacant welterweight title to Danny Garcia in January and 2-3 in his previous five fights.Most viewed Guerrero, a former two-division titleholder, as a badly faded fighter even before this bout, which headlined a Premier Boxing Champions card on Spike. Now it quite clear that he really is done as a top fighter -- and as a main event performer for that matter -- after this clear loss (despite the one scorecard in his favor) to the painfully slow Peralta, whose previous opposition had been about as bad as it gets.Guerrero, who made $500,000 to Peraltas $30,000, got off to a solid start and looked pretty good for the first couple of rounds but then it was mostly downhill. Peralta kept up a persistent attack, came forward, controlled the action and took it to Guerrero, whose timing, speed and reflexes are not what they were. Peraltas margin of victory should have been even greater because in the ninth round referee Ray Corona blew a clear knockdown. Peralta blasted Guerrero with a pair of right hands that landed cleanly and sent him sagging into the corner post, which clearly held him up. It should have definitely been ruled a knockdown and was obvious in real time and on the television replays. Regardless, Peralta took it to Guerrero for the rest of the fight and got the well-deserved upset (prompting him to do an insanely bizarre dance in the ring!) and likely ended Guerreros run as a meaningful fighter.Freddy Hernandez W10 Alfredo Angulo Super middleweight Scores: 98-92, 97-93 (twice) Records: Hernandez (34-8, 22 KOs); Angulo (24-6, 20 KOs)Rafaels remarks: If you thought Robert Guerrero was a shot fighter after his poor showing in an upset loss to a low-level opponent in the main event, Angulo, 33, of Mexico, showed himself to be even more totally shot in this loss to Hernandez, 37, also of Mexico, a journeyman opponent who had his best days about eight years ago as a welterweight. Angulo and Hernandez were both fighting for the first time in one year and, as expected, slugged it out in an entertaining and bloody high-contact fight. But all the hard fights have clearly taken more of a toll on fan-favorite Angulo, who took a beating and should strongly consider retirement.As usual, Angulo pressured Hernandez, who suffered a bad cut over his left eye in the fifth round, and landed a lot of punches. But Hernandez landed a ton of shots also and appeared to have more steam on his. He also employed a solid jab that he kept in Angulos face, where his left eye/cheek was swollen and marked up by the end of the fight.Terrell Gausha W10 Steve Martinez Junior middleweight Scores: 97-93 (twice), 95-95 Records: Gausha (19-0, 9 KOs); Martinez (16-3, 13 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Gausha, 28, a 2012 U.S. Olympian from Cleveland, had a tougher time than perhaps many expected against Martinez, 26, of Bronx, New York, but came out on top in the majority decision win against the most notable opponent he has had so far. Both guys landed quality shots and Martinez put on a good body attack, but was warned for low blows by referee Jack Reiss in the fifth round. Gausha also did a good job attacking Martinez to the body but also showed a more diverse arsenal, including a good jab and solid counter punching as he took control late in the fight against a seemingly tiring Martinez.Saturday at Fallon, NevadaMiguel Marriaga TKO6 Guy Robb Featherweight Records: Marriaga (24-1, 20 KOs); Robb (18-2, 8 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Since a lopsided decision loss in a featherweight world title fight against overweight Nicholas Walters 14 months ago, Marriaga, 29, a big puncher from Colombia, has won four fights in a row, including this nice knockout of Robb, 27, of Sacramento, California, in the main event of Top Ranks Solo Boxeo Tecate card on UniMas.In the sixth round, Marriaga caught Robb with a series of right hands. As each one landed, Robb appeared to be cracking. And then Marriaga landed another big one flush and sent Robb sprawling to the mat. He beat the count but was unsteady and referee Russell Mora waved off the fight at 2 minutes, 6 seconds, ending Robbs 11-fight winning streak. The win kept Marriaga on track to becoming the eventual mandatory challenger for featherweight world titleholder Oscar Valdez (20-0, 18 KOs).Jose Felix Jr. TKO6 Robert Frankel Lightweight Records: Felix Jr. (34-1-1, 26 KOs); Frankel (34-17-7, 7 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Felix, 24, of Mexico, extended his winning streak to seven fights in a row since a decision loss to Bryan Vasquez for an interim junior lightweight belt in April 2012. This latest victory came against 36-year-old Denver journeyman Frankel, whom Felix took apart and beat up before scoring the knockout in a mismatch.Midway through the sixth round, Felix buckled Frankel with a right hand. Later in the round, he landed several unanswered shots, including body punches and right hands that forced him to hold on. Then Felix punched him into the corner and continued to unload until referee Vic Drakulich waved off the fight at 2 minutes, 23 seconds as Frankel sank to one knee. After the fight, Felix called for a world title shot against Englands Terry Flanagan (31-0, 12 KOs).Tuesday at Bethlehem, Pa.Caleb Plant W10 Juan De Angel Middleweight Scores: 100-89 (three times) Records: Plant (14-0, 10 KOs); De Angel (18-5-1, 17 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Plant, a 24-year-old prospect from Nashville, Tennessee, looked good in his first scheduled 10-round bout as he dominated De Angel, 29, of Colombia, en route to a shutout decision. To punctuate his dominance, Plant knocked De Angel down in the fourth round with a left hook in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions card. Plant fought with maturity, showing patience. He established his range and distance early on and never let the aggressive De Angel, who lost his second fight in a row, get into the fight or land any big shots, which was pretty much his only prayer to win. Instead, De Angel, perhaps feeling Plants good power on the knockdown, spent a lot of the remainder of the fight attempting to tie him up and avoid and exchanges. In the ninth round, an accidental clash of heads opened a cut on Plants head but it certainly was not enough to derail him on his way to the victory.In the co-feature pitting welterweights from Washington, D.C., southpaw David Grayton (15-1, 11 KOs), 29, knocked out 21-year-old Kareem Martin (8-1-1, 3 KOs) in the final round of their eight-round fight. Grayton dropped Marin with a left hand to the body in the eighth round and while he beat the count, Grayton was all over him when the fight resumed. During a flurry of punches, Benjy Esteves Jr. waved off the fight 41 seconds into the round.Also, two-time Olympian Carlos Gongora (6-0, 5 KOs), 27, of Ecuador, knocked out Ronald Mixon (7-1, 6 KOs), 27, of Los Angeles, at 1 minute, 16 seconds of their light heavyweight fight.

NEW YORK -- Since the start of the 2008-09 season, the Pittsburgh Penguins, Chicago Blackhawks, Los Angeles Kings and Boston Bruins all have had several things in common.Besides winning at least one Stanley Cup, each team was loaded with depth, speed and solid goaltending during its respective championship run.The 2016-17 version of the?New York Rangers?has all of those qualities -- minus the Cup. So far.Sure, its still November and the Rangers have played only 14 games. But New Yorks 10-4-0 record, and 20 points, ranks it near the top of the Metropolitan Division. Along with a veteran leadership core that has been through it all, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault has the flexibility to roll four lines consistently. His squad is fast and is scoring goals at a frenetic pace.They are one of the three best teams in the East, said one NHL general manager. They are faster than last year.Thanks to the additions of Mika Zibanejad, Jimmy Vesey, Brady Skjei and Michael Grabner, along with a healthy Dan Girardi and Marc Staal, New York looks like a completely different team than it did a season ago.?The Rangers are no longer stale.Thats the biggest thing -- the main thing is our depth, said Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist. So many guys have been scoring and helping out offensively, but at the same time were taking responsibility defensively. I feel like we have four lines that can make it happen, and thats a big thing to have. When you play 82 games, you cant rely on just one or two lines. Our third line has been on fire.You look at Pittsburgh. When the Penguins won last year, their depth probably won them the Cup. It wasnt their first two lines, Lundqvist continued. Yeah, they were great, but their third line for them was key, and their fourth line, too. The years that we had good runs we had a pretty deep team, and so far its been looking great. Its still early so you dont want to overthink it, but so far the one thing thats been helping us most is the depth.The Rangers have scored 58 goals through their first 14 games and lead the league with 4.14 per game. And speaking of their third line, over the past six games, Grabner, Kevin Hayes and J.T. Miller have combined for 24 points (12 goals and 12 assists).There was a point last season when Vigneault made Hayes a healthy scratch because the center wasnt being productive. Being sat served as a wake-up call, and Hayes used that moment as motivation to work harder during the offseason.It definitely helped, he said of his amped-up offseason routine. It was a fun summer, to be honest, and not socially. Its nice to have a good start and feel good and actually believe in what you did [during the summer]. Its something you wish you did earlier in your career.Every line combination is a threat to score. The Rangers are playing well defensively, too.dddddddddddd. Theres nothing carefree about their play. The Rangers are rolling, but theyre veteran enough to know that they must sustain it for the remainder of the regular season.Todays NHL is all about depth, said Rangers forward Chris Kreider. You need four lines. You need contributions up and down the lineup throughout the year, and its a long year. A lot of that comes from your leadership group playing the right way. Weve got a really great core, a great group of leaders who set the tone, and the young guys are able to follow that.The result? Everyone is confident, said Hayes.And everyone is contributing on both sides of the puck. The Rangers have changed their style of play in an attempt to be more uptempo but are still showing a commitment to defense. All the aforementioned Cup-winning teams featured a potent offense that started with their defense.Before anyone anoints the Rangers as this seasons Stanley Cup champs -- and, to be clear, thats not what were doing here -- not everything is rosy for Vigneault. After a recent loss to the lowly Vancouver Canucks, he said that nobody even had a C game tonight for the Rangers. The coach was forced to shorten his bench twice in two games, and he benched Vesey and Kreider.Kreider, who had a strong start to the season, hasnt been the same since neck spasms sidelined him last month. Veseys struggles are understandable as he deals with the normal rookie growing pains.Patience also will be key for the Rangers because they no doubt will deal with the ebbs and flows of the long, arduous season. GM Jeff Gorton continues to build depth within the organization. On Tuesday, he traded former first-round pick (10th overall in 2010) Dylan McIlrath to the Florida Panthers in exchange for defenseman Steven Kampfer, who will be assigned to the AHL as security for New Yorks blue line.Lundqvist described this seasons team as a pretty tight group now.The leadership group has been here a while now, and personally Ive been here with a few guys now for eight, nine years. You know how everybody works around games, under pressure, what they like, what they dont like, so its a good mix, he said. We have a lot of young players coming in now. Theyre great guys but also great players, so that adds on to the mix. Its a good group.But, Lundqvist admitted, camaraderie only counts for so much.It doesnt matter how fun of a group you are -- if youre not winning, its not going to be fun, he added. We talked about it going into the season, that the No. 1 thing we need to focus on in order to have a fun year is to win. The rest will take care of itself. ' ' '
