ROSARITO, Mexico -- Former world champion Antonio Margarito reached another milestone Saturday in his comeback as he beat fellow Mexican Ramon Alvarez by split decision in the Baja California Center.Margarito (40-8, 27 KOs) dropped Alvarez (23-5-2, 15 KOs), the brother of lineal middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez, in the eighth round as he showed he can still be a force to be reckoned with after being out of the ring for more than four years.Scorecards from two judges favored Margarito 97-92. A third judge saw the fight in favor of Alvarez 95-94.Alvarez took the offensive in the second round with jabs, trying to keep Margarito at a distance and hit punches to the lower body. At a distance, Alvarez was more consistent against Margarito, who didnt throw many punches.The 30-year-old Alvarez kept Margarito at bay with straight punches and uppercuts before the Tijuana native started counterpunching and took Alvarez to the ropes.Margaritos jab took over in the fifth round, sending Alvarez to the ropes while avoiding his counterpunching. From the sixth round on, Margarito kept the pressure coming, taking Alvarez off his fight plan and shrugging off his opponents intent to control the rhythm of the fight.Margaritos physical condition took over in the eighth round, and he dropped Alvarez with a straight right. Alvarez tried to rebound in the final two rounds, hitting a left hook that shook Margarito, but it was not enough to change the cards in his favor.After retiring in 2011, Margarito, 38, returned to the ring in March, winning a unanimous decision over Jorge Paez Jr. He has been vocal about fighting in the United States and getting another shot at a world title.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Los Angeles Rams return home after two straight road wins, the latest a comeback victory in the desert.The Arizona Cardinals move on from their latest disappointing defeat with a short week of practice and without starting quarterback Carson Palmer.The Rams improved to 3-1 with their 17-13 victory over the Cardinals on Sunday, their best start since 2006, when they won four of their first five.After playing three of their first four games on the road, they go back to Los Angeles tied with Seattle for first in the NFC West.Its huge, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. Were going home. We get the chance to play in front of our fans, seems like its been forever.Tavon Austins 47-yard punt return set up Case Keenums 4-yard touchdown pass to Brian Quick for what proved to be the winning score with 2:36 to play.We really felt like we were going to get a punt return at some point during the game, Fisher said, and we got it.Next up for Los Angeles is a home game against Buffalo.I think the Coliseum will be rocking, Keenum said.The Cardinals (1-3) have already lost as many games as they did all of last season. Now Palmer almost certainly wont be available after his head slammed to the turf on a sack by Aaron Donald late in Sundays game. Palmer was in the concussion protocol, and coach Bruce Arians doubted if theres any way the quarterback would be ready for Thursday nights game at San Francisco.Probably not, Arians said. Well be very, very careful with this injury. It is not like a sore wrist or a sore shoulder.Here are some things to consider from Los Angeles victory over the Cardinals.QUICK SUCCESS: Quick caught just 10 passes for 102 yards last season and there was some question as to whether the Rams would stick with the wide receiver.Fisher said Quick has shown development in practice.You can see it. He really has had a really solid couple of weeks on the practice field making those kind of plays, Fisher said. In Brians case, the game has started to slow down for him, Now you can just go and make those plays.Keenum praised Quicks work.He has really good ball skills, Keenum said, so its fun to throw him the football.ddddddddddddQuick also scored the first Rams TD, a 65-yard pass play in the first quarter.LOSING THE CLOSE ONES: The Cardinals home losses have come down to the wire.In the season-opening loss to New England, Arizona missed what would have been a winning 47-yard field goal in the final seconds. On Sunday, it was the long punt return. We made a living winning close games for a long time, Arians said, and this year, right now, we are not making the plays to win them, and that is the difference this season.CASE IN POINT: Nobody seems to doubt the decision to start Keenum ahead of No. 1 pick Jared Goff anymore.As you can tell by my voice, Im pretty tired, Keenum said. Anytime you go fight like that, and I think we fought in all phases, every phase had a big part in the win. Anytime you fight like that and come out victorious, it feels really sweet.Fisher said Keenum and Goff root for each other.Case is not looking over his shoulder, Fisher said. Hes winning games.BROWNS BREAKOUT: Arizona wide receiver John Brown had gotten off to a slow start after missing most of the preseason with a concussion. He had eight catches in the first three games.But on Sunday, Brown caught 10 passes for 144 yards.I feel good, he said. The receiving coach comes to me like, `Were trying to put the ball in your hands. We need you to do this and do that. It just made me push harder to get back where I want to be.STANTON TIME: The Cardinals got the ball twice after Palmer was hurt but werent able to do much with it.Backup Drew Stanton threw two interceptions, the last on a Hail Mary on the games final play.Now the team will turn to Stanton to try to get a victory in San Francisco.Its unfortunate were coming off a short week, Stanton said, but thats the way the leagues built. You have to be able to go in and, especially somebody in my role, you have to be able to go in there and have success, and that didnt happen today.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL.
