NEW KID ON THE BLOCK: Orange County, a haven for white-collar workers, has become a twice-monthly host to the most blue-collar of sports. . . . LBNT Pro Sports, headed by Nick Bartlett, started up a second county boxing show earlier this summer at the UCI Bren Events Center. His first card drew fewer than 500.

Van Horn defended his International Boxing Federation super-middleweight title with a third-round knockout.
