Monjardin Challenged by Pumar : Boxing: State junior lightweight champion puts crown on the line in rematch after losing non-title bout.

Hector Monjardin will defend his state junior lightweight championship in a rematch against Isagani (Little Guns) Pumar in the main event of a six-bout professional boxing card July 12 at the Warner Center Marriott.

Monjardin, from Compton, was considered one of the top prospects in Southern California when he was stopped by the relatively unheralded Pumar in the fourth round of a non-title fight at the Grand Olympic Auditorium in February.

Pumar, from Manila, has a record of 23-6-2 with 12 knockouts. Monjardin is 15-6-1 with eight knockouts.

In six-rounders on the undercard, Cash McCallum of Santa Monica will fight Marco Dixon of Sacramento in a heavyweight bout, Steve Von Schert of Pasadena will fight Ruben Ceja of Pomona in a junior welterweight bout and Troy Weaver of Chino Hills will fight Junior Neequaye of Nigeria in a super middleweight bout.

In a four-round lightweight bout, Ricardo Caldillo of Los Angeles will fight Gordon Williams of Sacramento. Lightweight Jimmy Nakahara or light heavyweight Calvin Coombe will fight a four-round bout against an opponent to be named.
