CANCUN, Mexico -- Sam Peter was a man on a mission.
Mission accomplished.
After waiting impatiently for 16 months for a mandatory shot at Oleg Maskaev, Peter gave the bulls the night off on Saturday at the Plaza de Toros, the city's main bullring, and put on his own hard-charging show as he stopped Maskaev with a violent sixth-round flurry to claim a heavyweight world championship.
It was a dominant performance, one Peter hopes sets up an eventual rematch with unified titleholder Wladimir Klitschko, who handed him his only defeat in a 2005 title eliminator in which Peter scored three knockdowns.

CANCUN, Mexico -- Junior bantamweight titleholders Cristian Mijares and Alexander Munoz will meet to unify their 115-pound world championships May 17 in Gomez Palacio, Mexico, Mijares' hometown.
Mijares and his co-promoter, Nacho Huizar -- who both attended Saturday night's Samuel Peter-Oleg Maskaev heavyweight title bout at Plaza de Toros -- told ESPN.com that the fight was signed.
Mijares-Munoz will be the first junior bantamweight unification fight since Johnny Tapia won a decision against Danny Romero, his crosstown Albuquerque, N.M., rival in a high-profile fight in Las Vegas on July 18, 1997.

MONTREAL -- Montreal fighter Olivier Lontchi successfully defended his NABA super-bantamweight title Saturday, easily outpointing light-hitting American Roberto Lopez at the Montreal Casino.
Lontchi (16-0-1) made the second defense of the minor belt he won with a 12-round decision over Cruz Carbajal on Nov. 11.
The Cameroon-born Lontchi was never in trouble against Lopez (26-17-1), whose frequent clinching led to a point deduction in the ninth for holding. Two judges scored it 118-108 and the other had it 117-109.

ESPN - Pongsaklek's late rally not enough to defeat Naito - Boxing

TOKYO -- Japan's Daisuke Naito retained his WBC flyweight title with a draw against Thai Pongsaklek Wongjongkam on Saturday.
Former champion Pongsaklek, who had knocked Naito out in a record 34 seconds in the first of their three previous meetings, did little until the last three rounds in Tokyo.
"I really wanted to win outright but I'll take it because I kept the belt," Naito said. "It feels a lot better than losing. I just want to enjoy this."
Naito won the title from Pongsaklek in a stunning points win last July following two defeats at the hands of the hard-hitting Thai.
Pongsaklek, a national hero in Thailand after successfully defending the title 17 times before being ambushed by Naito, had struggled to make the weight limit for the fight.
A hard right from Pongsaklek drew blood from Naito in the sixth round, but Pongsaklek was warned for bundling the champion to the canvas as the fight finally came to life in the ninth.

CANCUN, Mexico -- Once again, Jose Luis Castillo failed to make weight.
And once again, it forced the cancellation of a significant fight.
This time the former two-time lightweight champion's well-documented battles with the scale resulted in his junior welterweight elimination fight against Timothy Bradley Jr. being canceled Friday, one day before they were to meet for the right to challenge titlist Junior Witter of England.
The fight was one of the undercard bouts scheduled for the bill headlined by Oleg Maskaev's heavyweight title defense against Samuel Peter.
