The move was said to be King's attempt at retaliation for Carbajal's decision to jump ship in July and return to Arum, his promoter before he signed a controversial two-year deal with King jn 1994. "We were prepared to relinquish the title," said Carbajal's manager and trainer, Danny Carbajal, whose brother (43-2, 28 knockouts) is scheduled Tuesday night for a non-title tuneup against Mexican Victor Jose Burgos (15-7-1, 4 KOs) on USA Cable from Corpus Christi, Texas.

Then, Top Rank's plan was for Carbajal to say no to the IBF and Pastrana, vacate the title and fight a different foe on the Jan. 18 card for a lesser championship. 'But a funny thing happened on the way to the auction block. King's bid was $151,000, $70,000 less than Top Rank's. Carbajal is expected to get the lion's share of the Top Rank bid.

He's also expected to beat Pastrana 15-0, 13 KOs), possibly route to a much talked about showdown with unbeaten Ricardo Lopez of Mexico City. Trouble is, Lopez is promoted by King. The feud continues.

Vaught surrendered a single to speedy Donnie Sadler (Red Sox), but he never got any farther, as Kevin Polcovich (Pirates) gopped up a bunt, Adrian Brown (Pirates) fined out to left and Spencer struck out looking.
