LAS VEGAS — James (Buddy) McGirt won the World Boxing Council welterweight title with a unanimous 12-round decision over defending champion Simon Brown on Friday night. Also on the card, Michael Nunn, the former middleweight champion, stepped up to 168 pounds and knocked out Randall Yonker to win the North American Boxing Federation super-middleweight title. Felix Trinidad disposed of Freddie Pendleton with a hard left hook to the body in the fifth round, putting an explosive end to a lackluster fight and retaining his IBF welterweight title in Las Vegas. KO of the Day: Wilfredo Vazquez vs Eloy Rojas Trailing on all three cards, Wilfredo Vazquez roared back to stop Eloy Rojas in the 11th round on May 18, 1996, winning the WBA featherweight title.
