years, is leaving the division behind.The 26-year-old Estrada (33-2, 24 KOs) has
not fought since last September, mainly because of a severe right hand injury,
but he announced on Tuesday at a news conference that he would return to the
ring on Oct. 8 (beIN Sports Espanol) as a junior bantamweight.Estrada will face
Raymond Tabugon (18-5-1, 8 KOs), 25, of the Philippines, in a scheduled 10-round
fight at Francisco Leon Garcia Stadium in Puerto Penasco, Mexico.The WBA
announced last week that Estrada vacated its 112-pound title. He also has
vacated his WBO version of the belt, according to WBO general secretary Jose
Izquierdo II.Estrada formally vacated his WBO title on Sept. 13, citing that he
could no longer make weight, Izquierdo told ESPN.com.After losing a highly
competitive decision in a slugfest against Roman Chocolatito Gonzalez in a 2012
junior flyweight title fight, Estrada moved up to flyweight and won a split
decision against Brian Viloria to claim two flyweight belts in March
2013.Estrada made five title defenses of the unified title. He beat opponents
such as former world titleholders Giovani Segura and Hernan Tyson Marquez, as
well as top contender Milan Melindo.Now Estrada will move up to the 115-pound
junior bantamweight division, where an eventual rematch with Gonzalez (46-0, 38
KOs) is possible. On Sept. 10, Gonzalez -- the pound-for-pound king and
flyweight champion -- moved up to the weight class and outpointed Carlos Cuadras
to win a world title in his fourth weight division.A rematch between Gonzalez
and Estrada would be one of the biggest fights that could be made in boxings
smaller weight divisions.I will win and analyze with my team and my promoter
Zanfer possible fights against Chocolatito, Naoya Inoue and [Luis] Nica
Conception, Estrada said. Im looking for big fights.

Jersey .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse
connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach.
PHILADELPHIA -- Orlando Magic coach Frank Vogel had a simple trick to help his
team get over a brutal loss in Memphis the previous night.I let them sleep in,
Vogel said.Aaron Gordon scored a season-high 20 points, Nikola Vucevic had 12
points, 11 rebounds and five assists and the Magic awoke from its slumber to
cruise by the Philadelphia 76ers 105-88 in a matchup of slumping Eastern
Conference teams Friday night.Serge Ibaka, Evan Fournier and Jeff Green all
added 16 points for the Magic (8-12), who had lost five of six coming in,
including a one-point loss to the Grizzlies on Thursday in which they blew a
14-point fourth-quarter lead.I thought we played well last night and we just
didnt close the game out, Vogel said. Were continuing to show we have one of the
top defenses in the league. Were going to be a great defensive team and were
going to score enough to win.Bismack Biyombo had 13 rebounds for the Grizzlies,
who shot 50 percent from 3-point range and 47.4 percent from the field.The
Sixers (4-15) lost their fifth straight despite 25 points and 10 rebounds from
rookie Joel Embiid. It was his fifth double-double of the season.Jahlil Okafor,
who saw extended action with Embiid for the first time this season, also had a
double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds.Nobody else scored in double
figures for the Sixers, who shot 37.9 percent from the field. They missed 20 of
their 26 shot attempts in the first quarter and allowed the Magic to go on an
early 16-0 run to fall behind for good.Sometimes you read so much into
back-to-backs, Sixers coach Brett Brown said. You assume people are tired or
depressed because they lost at the buzzer. I give them credit. They came in and
played with great energy. I dont know how to explain that.The game was the first
for the rested Sixers in four days after Wednesdays scheduled matchup against
the Sacramento Kings was postponed because of moisture on the Wells Fargo Center
court.TIP-INSMagic: Orlando was back in the same building where it overcame an
18-point deficit in a 103-101 win over the Sixers a little more than a month
ago. The Magic have won four straight vs. Philly. ... The Magic havee two games
left of a five-game trip.dddddddddddd.76ers: Robert Covington left in the fourth
quarter with a left knee sprain after logging nine points and six rebounds. ...
PG Jerryd Bayless missed his third straight game with left wrist soreness after
previously sitting out the first 13 games.THE EMBIID-OKAFOR EXPERIMENTEmbiid and
Okafor looked sharp when paired together as the crowd roared in delight watching
the two cornerstones of the franchises rebuilding effort. In the second quarter,
Embiid hit a 3-pointer, fed Okafor for a basket and then hit a jumper to pull
the Sixers within 23-21.During their second stint together in the fourth
quarter, the two centers produced 12 of the teams 19 points while combining to
shoot 5 for 5 from the field in just over 7 minutes.I thought we had our
moments, said Embiid, who had his minutes restriction increased from 24 to 28
two days after being named the NBAs Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for
October/November. We made shots. Obviously we need to play more together.MEEKS
BIG RETURNMagic guard Jodie Meeks made his season debut after a foot injury held
him out for the first 19 games. He finished with 10 points and three steals in
17 minutes, while shooting 2 for 3 from 3-point range.Vogel didnt think it was a
coincidence that the sharpshooters return coincided with Orlandos best shooting
night of the season.Its contagious, I guess, Vogel said. It was good to see him
back out there. He was a little rusty in certain areas but thats to be expected.
But he looked a lot less rusty than I thought he would.CLUTCH SHOOTING (AND
PASSING)The Magic put the game away in the third quarter thanks to consecutive
3s from D.J. Augustin followed by one from Gordon -- shots Vogel called
pivotal.Gordon, who shot 9 for 14 from the field and 2 for 4 from 3-point range,
credited the teams passing for all of the baskets.I think our passing was very
good tonight, he said. We were on time and on target.UP NEXTMagic: At Detroit on
Sunday night.76ers: Host Boston on Saturday night. ' ' '
