MARINA BAY, Singapore -- Lewis Hamilton is not expecting an easy race at the Singapore Grand Prix after struggling for performance during qualifying at the Marina Bay street circuit.Hamilton qualified 0.7s off teammate Nico Rosberg and will start the race from third on the grid behind Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo. After losing practice time on Friday with a technical issue, Hamilton said he struggled to find a set-up ahead of qualifying and is concerned it could also impact his race pace.Honestly I cant really take you through it [the problem] because I dont understand it all at the moment, he said. Theyre trying to understand everything. There are several different things that could be the issue, but I dont know just yet. Ill just sit in there with my engineers trying to figure it out.I didnt do the long run on Friday so I dont know [how it will impact race pace]. I might luck in and it might be just right for tomorrow, but it doesnt sound particularly likely that that is the case.It might be the case that it is just not great and I should still be able to hold position at least, so I will find out tomorrow. But for sure the time lost yesterday is proving to be more valuable than I thought.Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said the team had failed in finding the right set-up for Hamilton this weekend.Lewis car was not where it should have been after FP1. As you know it is not always easy to find the right compromise with the set-up of the car and getting the tyre in the right window and giving the driver a comfortable feeling and here we have failed. He didnt have a car today that he was able to extract all of the performance from. The set-up was not right. He didnt have the tool.First of all you have to give the driver running time and we havent given him running time because the car broke down yesterday and if you cant run the car here, you cant find out which set-up works for you and you cant really gain confidence in the car either, which was less his particular problem. It was more the car didnt generate any grip or didnt generate the amount of grip that Nico had.Hamilton said it would be difficult to pass the Red Bull in front of him if he does not make a move stick into the first corner.Getting past Daniel could be a pit stop or a Safety Car, generally thats the only way to get past. I dont know which one is going to work for me. Obviously I will try and get him at the start, but if I dont then I will just try and stay close behind but their tyres should be able to go a long way and theyve got more downforce as well so they are in a very strong position.

Mississippi doesnt have much time to sulk after its marquee Labor Day matchup against Florida State didnt go the way it had hoped.The 19th-ranked Rebels didnt return to campus until 4 a.m. on Tuesday and then had to quickly begin preparation for its home opener on Saturday against Wofford.The Terriers -- who play at the Football Championship Subdivision level -- will provide a different challenge with their throwback triple-option offense that is rarely seen in todays college football world.It is totally different, coach Hugh Freeze said. Usually you would like to have two weeks to get ready for (the triple option) and we basically have two days. We just have to correct the mistakes and hopefully stay healthy.Ole Miss is hurting both mentally and physically after the season-opening loss to No. 3 Florida State in Orlando. The Rebels had a 28-6 lead in the second quarter before giving up the next 33 points and losing control of the game.Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly -- who threw four touchdown passes, but also had three interceptions and lost a fumble -- acknowledged it wasnt the easiest loss to forget.There are little things that definitely frustrate you because you could be sitting here 1-0, Kelly said. It hurts but youve got to get by it and now were looking forward to the next game.The Rebels are also trying to figure out solutions after two injuries. Starting cornerback Kendarius Webster and running back Eric Swinney are out for the season after both tore knee ligaments.Webster was widely considered the Rebels best cornerback. Freeze said he expected Webster to play about 95 percent of the snaps prior to the injury, and when he went down in the first quarter it hurt the Rebels pass defense.Senior Carlos Davis moves into a starting role in Websters absence.Ole Miss was already thin at running back because junior Jordan Wilkins was declared academically ineligible just before the season started. Now the Rebels will likely lean on Akeem Judd and Eugene Brazley for the majority of the carries. Freeze also said that freshman DVaughn Pennamon would likely join the rotation instead of redshirting like previously planned.Freeze said there were plenty of positives to take from the Florida State game, even if the final outcome wasnt good. He said the fact that the Rebels were leading 28-6 in the second quarter is proof they can play with anyone.The trick is sustaining it for four quarters.Ole Miss needs to fix its issues quickly. The Rebels have crucial game against Alabama on Sept. 17 and Georgia on Sept. 24.I think you build on the positives, but also address the reasons we couldnt get it done, Freeze said. If we are going to be any good, you bounce back from those (losses) and traditionally we have done that very well here.---Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP .---AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org .

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Talk about a 1-2-3 punch for the Toronto Blue Jays in these playoffs.The wild-card Blue Jays have rediscovered their power stroke in October, and are going home with a chance to sweep the Texas Rangers in the AL Division Series after a 5-3 win Friday.Edwin Encarnacion capped a three-homer burst in the fifth inning off Yu Darvish, and Toronto won on a dreary, misty afternoon for a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five matchup.One important reminder, though: Last fall, Toronto lost the first two games of the ALDS at home against Texas, then rallied to win the series.I learned something last year ... you got to win three games, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. Theyve got a great team over there. You dont lead the American League, powerhouse league, you dont luck into that.Wearing spikes that had No Panic printed on them, closer Roberto Osuna got a five-out save that sent the Blue Jays home looking to clinch the series in Game 3 Sunday night.Osuna entered after reliever Francisco Liriano was hit near the back of the head by Carlos Gomezs line drive. Liriano was taken by ambulance after the game to a hospital, where he was checked out and then cleared to fly home with the team that evening. It was Osunas first appearance since he left the mound in the AL wild-card win Tuesday night with a shoulder injury that left his status in doubt.Kevin Pillar, Ezequiel Carrera and Encarnacion, who ended the wild-card game with a three-run homer in the 11th inning, hit solo homers in a five-batter span in the fifth. Troy Tulowitzkis two-run drive in the second put 20-game winner J.A. Happ and the Blue Jays ahead to stay.Getting behind in the count, and they were looking for fastballs, Darvish said through his interpreter. When I left it on the plate, they got it.Texas scored twice in the eighth, including Gomezs single that struck Liriano. The pitcher walked off the mound.A day after Cleveland homered three times in an inning against Boston and won its ALDS opener, the Blue Jays matched the feat against the team that won an AL-high 95 games this year. The home runs boosted the Blue Jays in a game in which they got outhit 13-6.While Toronto finished the regular season fourth in the majors with 221 homers, only eight came in the last 11 games. They already have eight in three postseason games.Home runs are always a good thing, Gibbons said.Darvish had as many strikeouts (four) in his five innings as homers allowed, becoming the first pitcher in the postseason to allow four homers in a game since Minnesotas Rick Reed against Oakland in Game 3 of the 2002 ALDS.Texas has lost five straight ALDS games to the Blue Jays since winning the first two games iin Toronto last October.dddddddddddd The Rangers dropped to 1-11 in ALDS games in their home ballpark, including Cole Hamels worst postseason outing in the 10-1 series-opening loss Thursday.Weve come back from a lot this year. ... We all believe in each other, said Texas outfielder Ian Desmond, who drove in two runs but was also thrown out trying to score on a grounder.Happ allowed nine hits but only run before leaving one batter into the sixth.You go into a game knowing that at some point theyre going to get their hits, Happ said. But yeah, it was a battle. It seemed like a long five innings.Osuna, who afterward said he felt no pain, came in a little earlier than planned, a move that followed Liriano getting struck.The ball off Gomezs bat was measured at 102 mph, and Liriano turned away just in time to avoid being hit in the face. Gomez winced as the ball caromed into right-center field for a single to make it 5-2.Desmond drove in a run with a grounder before Osuna struck out Carlos Beltran to end the eighth.Adrian Beltre was stranded at second after a leadoff double in the ninth.COOL DOWNAt first pitch, it was overcast with a temperature of 67 degrees, but the game started on time after rain fell overnight and in the early-morning hours at Globe Life Park. It was 90 degrees Thursday at the start of the series opener that was played under bright, sunny conditions.OUT AT HOMEDesmond had a leadoff double in the seventh, but was later thrown out at the plate after third baseman Josh Donaldson fielded a grounder. The out call stood after a replay challenge by the Rangers.TRAINERS ROOMBlue Jays: 2B Devon Travis was scratched from the starting lineup about an hour before the first pitch because of right knee irritation.Rangers: RF Shin-Soo Choo was out of the lineup after playing Game 1, but manager Jeff Banister said Choo was fine physically. Choo was on the disabled list four times this year, and had missed 39 games with a broken left forearm until last weekend.UP NEXTBlue Jays: One of the two losses this season by RHP Aaron Sanchez, the AL ERA leader at 3.00, was to Texas. He gave up six runs, matching his season high, and was the loser in that May 15 game with the bench-clearing brawl after Toronto star Jose Bautista was punched by Rougned Odor.Rangers: RHP Colby Lewis is 4-1 with a 2.38 ERA in nine career postseason games (eight starts) for Texas. In 2010, he won the AL Championship Series clincher to get the Rangers to their first World Series, and beat San Francisco in Game 3 for their only victory in that series.

Rodney Gunter Jersey .com) - Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Roger Federer were easy first-round winners Tuesday at the Australian Open. Former NFL running back Warrick Dunn is struggling to cope with the police shooting in his native Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Sunday morning.Dunn, who is a minority owner of the Atlanta Falcons, suffered the loss of his mother as a result of a violent incident in the same city in 1993. Betty Smothers, a Baton Rouge police officer, was killed in a robbery attempt, leaving an 18-year-old Dunn to raise five younger siblings.In a statement released to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Sunday night about the incident in which three police officers were fatally shot and three others injured, Dunn asked to stop the violence.My heart breaks for the families and law enforcement officers in Baton Rouge who have lost loved ones, Dunn said. I have been in similar shoes -- it will change their lives and leave them reeling with questions for years to come. It is a shame -- so many officers who are out there on the front lines have tremendous heart for what they do. These acts of violence dont solve anything, and if my voice can add to the movement to stop it, then Id consider that a good thing.The shooting of the police officers on Sunday came less than two weeks after Alton Sterling died in an incident with the police in Baton Rouge that was captured on video and sparked protests across the country. It also follows the shooting deaths of five Dallas police officers earlier this month.The reality of our world is that there is a lot of unrest in our communities, particularly where police shootings are happening, Dunn said in the statement. I feel close to this subject -- it has touched me very personally. I speak for no one other than myself and I support law enforcement. I also support the community of Baton Rouge because they were there for me and my family.dddddddddddd If I could have any effect, Id ask the community to stop the violence, to cool down and to come together to figure this out. There is nothing we cant do, but we have to work together to make something positive come from yet another tragedy in my hometown.?Dunn was drafted in 1997 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a stellar college career at Florida State. He played for five seasons with the Bucs before moving to Atlanta to play for the Falcons. He returned to Tampa Bay in 2008 for his final NFL season as a professional player.In his 2008 autobiography, Running For My Life, Dunn detailed his mothers murder and how his battles with depression throughout his life transformed his journey.In his statement, Dunn encouraged the Baton Rouge community to act as a method of healing. ?We cant just sit around and talk about how horrible all this is -- we have to do something. And that means it always starts with the individual, Dunn said. One of the things I am doing is taking the role of fatherhood very seriously so I can raise a son who makes a positive contribution.?And then we have to give justice a chance to work. When people are intentional about their use of guns against others, we have to make sure the message that crime doesnt pay means something.Dunn has received local and national recognition for his philanthropic work off the field, including the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in 2005, the 2010 Heisman Humanitarian Award and the 2011 Jefferson Humanitarian Award for Public Service.

NEW ORLEANS -- While Rams rookie Jared Goff couldnt keep up with Drew Brees and the prolific New Orleans Saints, he just might have given Los Angeles hope that its No. 1 overall draft pick will in fact pan out.There were moments of brilliance as he showed off his touch, strength, and sometimes, guts, while throwing for 214 yards and three touchdowns in his first road start on Sunday. He made some mistakes, too, losing a fumble deep in Rams territory and throwing an interception near midfield. But coach Jeff Fisher sounded as if he was more concerned with his defense than Goffs performance in a 49-21 loss.Jared did a really nice job in the first half, especially in the two-minute drive, Fisher said. I thought he got better, which was encouraging.Goff is the latest in a string of heralded rookie QBs making themselves at home in the Superdome in one of their first road starts.Robert Griffin III in 2012, along with Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota in 2015, all led their teams to wins at New Orleans, completing a combined 70 percent of their passes for nearly 900 yards, seven touchdowns and no interceptions.Goff built on his first career start a week ago at home, a 14-10 loss to Miami in which he was just 55 percent passing with no touchdowns or interceptions.I obviously felt a lot more comfortable in my second game, just from experience, Goff said. Felt better out there -- was able to see it a lot better and it began to slow down a little bit for sure about halfway through the first half.Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro was impressed with the former California quarterback, who delivered several completions under pressure, releasing the ball accurately moments before absorbing heavy hits.He has pretty good arm talent. Hes young. Youre on the road in a hostile environment, and his books just starting, Vaccaro said. Each day, each month, each year is a new chapter for him. Hell keep growing.Against the Saints, he spread the ball around, hitting seven different receivers while completing 20 of 32 attempts. The Rams converted both of their red-zone chances with touchdown passes to Kenny Britt and Lance Kendricks.Goffs first career touchdown pass was a perfect throw to Tavon Austin, who caught the 24-yard scoring strike in stride in the end zone for a 7-0 Rams lead.Goff led Los Angeles on an eight-play, 79-yard drive at the end of the second quarter that ended with the touchdown pass to Kendricks and cut New Orleans lead to 28-21.He made some really good throws in the two-minute drive off his back foot and put the ball in the end zone, Fisher said.Added running back Todd Gurley: He definitely felt a lot more comfortable this game than last game -- came out spinning it that first half.He also, however, showed an inability to get rid of the ball when the pocket was collapsing on him. He was sacked three times and was hit a total of eight times when dropping back to pass.That might be what Goff focuses on this week as he prepares for the New England Patriots and his third start.I dont want to be out here saying Im happy with what we did or what I did or anything in between because Im really not if we dont win, Goff said.

The Kings organization has been embedded in dysfunction, from ownership to abrupt coaching changes, and that revolving door has created a tumultuous locker room atmosphere.It is believed throughout NBA circles that McLemores best playing days would come in a different uniform; hiss name has been linked to much trade chatter the past few years.ddddddddddddAccording to ESPNs Marc Stein -- before the Milwaukee Bucks traded away Michael Carter-Williams to the Chicago Bulls this week -- the Bucks proposed a trade that would have swapped Carter-Williams for McLemore, but the Kings rejected that proposition.If McLemore can put together a productive, consistent year, he would put himself in place for a lucrative payout in the offseason. For his career, he averages 9.7 points and shoots 35 percent from 3-point range.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Olympic gold and silver medalists Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson were among the first to sign up for the PGA Tours first team event since 1981.The Zurich Classic outside New Orleans will feature 80 two-man teams, and both players will receive credit for an official victory, the tour said Monday.Rose outlasted Stenson in the final round at Rio to capture the gold medal. They also have gone 4-2 as partners in the last two Ryder Cups.The addition of a team format adds a new, incredibly exciting element to the event, said Rose, who has a sponsorship deal with Zurich. Henrik and I are very excited to tee it up together in April, and hopefully we can continue our longstanding chemistry and success in team formats.Jason Day, the worlds No. 1 player, and Rickie Fowler also announced plans to compete as a team.The Zurich Classic is April 27-30 at the TPC Louisiana. It will feature two rounds of foursomes (Thursday and Saturday) and two rounds of fourballs. Tour officials felt it was important to have foursomes (alternate shot) as part of the format so that both players contributed.The winning team will each get credit for an official PGA Tour victory and be exempt into the Tournament of Champions and the PGA Championship, just like a regular PGA Tour event. It does not include an exemption to the Masters, which is held three weeks before the Zurich Classic.Prize money and FedEx Cup points will be distributed based on sharing points for two positions. Using last years prize money, first place ($1,260,000) and second place ($756,000) would be combined and then split, awarding each player $1,008,000. The runner-ups would split third- and fourth-place money. For the FedEx Cup, because first place is worth 500 points and second place is worth 300 points, each winner would get 400 points.The last official team event was the Walt Disney World Team Championship in 1981.Players can pick their own partners, provided they have PGA Tour status or receive a sponsors exemption.That creates a field of 160 players, with a cut after the second round to the top 35 ties. In case of a tie, a playoff would be determined using fourballs.The tour hopes to create more interest and to complement the team format used in the Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup and World Cup. The PGA Tour now has stroke play, match play, modified Stableford scoring (Barracuda Championship) and now a team format. Air Max 98 2018 .

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- With his focus on the present, not the future, coach Todd Bowles announced Monday that the embattled Ryan Fitzpatrick will remain the?New York Jets starting quarterback.After sitting on his decision for seven days, through the bye week, Bowles opted for Fitzpatrick over fan favorite Bryce Petty even though the team is out of playoff contention at 3-7.Hes healthy, hes been our starter, Bowles said of Fitzpatrick. I dont see anything that could change that right now.Fitzpatrick sat out the last game (Nov. 13) with an MCL sprain, but hes healthy enough to start Sunday against the New England Patriots, according to Bowles.The Jets fan base has been clamoring for Petty to start. Fitzpatrick, a free agent after the season, is a lame duck. But Bowles isnt ready to give up on the season to evaluate players for 2017.I dont think anything of that argument, he said, referring to those who want him to look toward the future. We take it week by week. Well try to get four [wins]. If we get four, well try to get five and well go from there.I dont give away jobs, Bowles added. You have to take the job.Fitzpatrick, who signed a one-year, $12 million contract in July, is having a terrible year. He has only eight touchdown passes and 13 interceptions, tied for the league lead. He has the lowest passer rating among starters, 67.6. He has been benched once, but he regained the job when Geno Smith tore his ACL.Im excited to get out there and play versus New England and try to rally the guys, Fitzpatrick said. This is something I really enjoy doing, and I enjoy doing it with the guys in this locker room.Petty blew a chance to wrest tthe job from Fitzpatrick, falling to the Los Angeles Rams?9-6 in his first NFL start.dddddddddddd. He received lukewarm reviews from Bowles after completing 19 of 32 passes for 163 yards and one touchdown -- and the touchdown came on a hook-and-ladder play. He threw a late interception that killed the Jets comeback bid.Bowles said he always planned to go back to Fitzpatrick.Obviously, you throw 10 touchdowns, you have to take a look at it, Bowles said of Pettys chances. Barring anything outstanding, Fitz wouldve been the starter.Petty refused to say he was disappointed, adding, You know what? My feelings are irrelevant. Im not going to focus on me because that takes away from the team.Nothing has changed for me, he said. Thats Coachs decision. Im going to respect that. He knows whats best for the team.Just last week, general manager Mike Maccagnan called it a complicated decision, saying its a delicate balance between trying to win now and evaluating for the future. He consulted with Bowles, but the coach had the final say.Petty and rookie Christian Hackenberg, a second-round pick, are the only two quarterbacks under contract for 2017. Its the biggest issue surrounding the future of the franchise.Bowles said hes in no rush to get either player on the field.I actually know quite a bit about both of them, he said. Its not paramount for them to play right now.Right now, Fitz gives us the best option. You dont play a person just to see what they have. Pettys time will come. Well have to be patient with that.

ARLINGTON, Texas-- Immediately after Canelo Alvarez retained the middleweight championship by brutally knocking out Amir Khan in May, he invited an interested spectator into the ring.Unified titleholder Gennady Golovkin climbed through the ropes and while there was no confrontation between the two fighters, Alvarez made it clear that he, too, wanted what fans have been demanding -- a title unification fight with GGG that looms as the biggest event in boxing.With Golovkin standing a few feet away from him, Alvarez explained when asked in his post-fight HBO interview with Max Kellerman why he invited GGG into the ring.Like we say in Mexico, we dont f--- around, Alvarez said through translator. I dont fear anyone. We dont come to play in this sport. I dont fear anyone in this sport.With his machismo oozing, Alvarez made it clear that Golovkin -- his mandatory challenger by virtue of his interim belt -- would be next and he reiterated his stance at the post-fight news conference. So did Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya, who said he would call Golovkin promoter Tom Loeffler the next day to begin negotiations, adding that he hoped Loefflers cell phone would be on.Yet the fight was not made -- not even close. And it was not because of Golovkin, who has been chasing Alvarez and is under no delusions about which fighter was the A-side of the promotion.There was no real negotiation. Instead, Alvarez, the lineal middleweight champion (albeit fighting at his preferred catchweight of 155 pounds), gave up his alphabet title and left Golovkin, who was elevated to full titleholder and now owns three major belts, and fans around the world out in the cold.De La Hoya and Loeffler said they made an informal agreement that they would negotiate the fight to take place in September 2017 while Alvarez, bashed by fans for what has been perceived as an outright duck of GGG, elected to return to junior middleweight, where he once held unified titles. Instead of the megafight with Golovkin, Alvarez will challenge Englands little known 154-pound titlist Liam Smith on Saturday night (HBO PPV, 9 p.m. ET) at AT&T Stadium.The fight is on Mexican Independence Day weekend and has already sold more tickets than the two Manny Pacquiao fights the stadium hosted in 2010, according to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who also owns the stadium. That means a crowd of more than 50,000. Alvarez, one of boxings biggest stars, would draw a crowd to fight anyone, but just imagine the hype, crowd and pay-per-view bonanza for a Golovkin fight.Alas, it remains on hold and a distant prospect. Golovkin traveled to London last week and knocked out welterweight titlist Kell Brook in the fifth round and is expected back in the ring Nov. 26. If Alvarez beats Smith -- and he is a massive favorite to do so -- he is expected back in the ring Dec. 10 as they continue to circle each other.Golovkin, 34, the Santa Monica, California-based Kazakhstan native, wants the fight as soon as possible. Alvarez, 26, of Mexico, and his team are in no rush, claiming Alvarez needs time to build himself into a true 160-pounder.Alvarez (47-1-1, 33 KOs) has been forced to repeatedly defend his choice of Smith (23-0-1, 13 KOs), 28, who has made two successful title defenses and scored eight knockouts in a row but has never faced a top opponent and is unknown outside of England.Just because Smith isnt very well-known in the U.S. doesnt diminish how tough he is as an opponent, Alvarez said. We expect him to be very powerful, and we are training for that.Despite the heavy criticism by fans and media for dodging Golovkin, Alvarez said he is ignoring it.Yeah, you know, theres always going to be critics, he said. Theyre always there, and its something thats part of it. Its part of the business. Obviously, theres good critics sometimes and theres bad critics. But the most important thing is it doesnt faze me. It doesnt faze me. Thats fine, Im used to it now, and Ive got to do whats best for my career.When De La Hoya was an active fighter during his Hall of Fame career, he had a sterling reputation for fighting all the top fighters of his time and never ducking anyone. But he has been as responsible as anyone for Alvarezs career direction -- perhaps, as many have suggested, as a way to protect his companys cash cow.Its basically the teams decision, you know? I mean, Canelo knows his body, De La Hoya said. His trainers know his body, and the bottom line is Canelo is a 154-pound fighter. The fact that he fought at 155, people expect him to go up and fight at middleweight, and thats not the case. Hes a 54-pounder, and hes going to go up to 160 when his body feels ready.People will always talk and will always want the very best when you are on top of the world, and thats what Canelo is right now. Hes on top. He is the star fighter in boxing, and people want him to fight the very best. And he has always fought the very best. And fighting a Golovkin is going to be no exception. Hes going to fight him, but when hes ready to move up to 160.De La Hoya and Alvarez both insist the fight will happen a year from now. De La Hoya said he and Loeffler may not have a formal deal but that they will make one.As of today, Canelo is a 154-pound fighter. He only fought for a middleweight championship because fans wanted a fight with Miguel Cotto, and Canelo delivered by winning that fight convincingly, De La Hoya said of the November 2015 fight. I have been clear that Canelo will fight Golovkin at 160 pounds and we have a verbal agreement to do it in the fall of 2017. But in the meantime, Canelo is going to build up to being a true middleweight. The plan is to face Smith, a big, bruising 154-pounder, and if Canelo emerges victorious, to start making his way up to 160 pounds and fight Golovkin on equal turf (in terms of weight).De La Hoya then laid out his plan.We envision Canelo doing a third fight in 2016 either at or close to the middleweight limit and then a fight (in May) on Cinco De Mayo at 160 before facing Golovkin in the fall, De La Hoya said. I know Canelo-Golovkin is the biggest fight to make, the fighters know its the biggest fight to make and the fans know its the biggest fight to make. Everyone agreed that a fight for the middleweight championship should take place at the middleweight limit and once Canelo builds up to that weight, the fight will be on.In the meantime, we are hopeful and confident that Canelo will continue to perform at a level that has led to back-to-back knockouts of the year over James Kirkland and Amir Khan and when his body is ready, GGG should look out.Until then, De La Hoya is focused on promoting the fight with Smith and on Alvarez winning another title Saturday.Look, people always say Ive been running from that fight (with Golovkin), Alvarez said. I wanted to make it clear to people that I dont run from anyone. I always fight the best. But the fight against Golovkin didnt happen because of negotiations. ?Theyre very difficult for such a big fight.That fight will happen when its supposed to happen. Now we have the 154-pound titleholder, Liam Smith. Obviously, hes not as big a name here in the United States, but we know how dangerous he is. Black Seahawks Jerseys .

MILWAUKEE -- Scooter Gennett got some good fortune on the go-ahead hit Tuesday night. And the way he figures it, the Milwaukee Brewers deserved it.Gennett and Jonathan Villar each hit a two-run single in a five-run eighth inning that sent Milwaukee to a 9-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.With the score tied at 4, the Brewers batted around and broke the game open on three hits and four walks against Arizonas bullpen.Hernan Perez singled up the middle off reliever Daniel Hudson (1-2) to start the eighth, and Ryan Braun walked. With one out, Chris Carter walked to load the bases for Gennett, who blooped the tiebreaking single over second base.Its a crazy game, Gennett said. Sometimes you can do everything right and fail. Sometimes you can get jammed by 97 (mph) and everything works out. Its a crazy game and its about time that things start working in our favor, though.Second baseman Phil Gosselin made a diving attempt at the ball, but it just eluded his reach.For a while there, we couldnt catch a break, hitting balls hard right at people in big situations, Gennett said. And now, were getting those hits. Were finding holes. Its been fun, lately.The good times continued for Milwaukee, too.Zac Curtis came on and struck out pinch-hitter Andy Wilkins, but walked Keon Broxton and Kirk Nieuwenhuis to force in another run.The walks are tough to stomach, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said. Two-out walks come back to get you.And they did, when Villar followed with a two-run single that capped the rally.We did a nice job tonight with two outs just keeping the line moving, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said after his club won consecutive games for the first time since July 4-5.Milwaukee starter Matt Garza allowed five hits in six innings and left with a 4-3 lead, but Arizona tied it at 4 in the seventh. Michael Bourn singled on a bunt to reliever Will Smith and raced to second on the throwing error to first. Bourn went to third on a groundout before Paul Goldschmidt greeted Tyler Thornburg (4-4) with a run-scoring infield single.Garza hasnt won since beating Washington 6-5 on June 25, a span of five starts.Going into the 8th tied 4-4, I think we felt great about it, Hale said. We had a good part of the order coming up in the top of the ninth. We just need to get there.Milwaukee chased Patrick Corbin in the sixth and went ahead 4-3. Braun singled, extending his hitting streak to 11 games, and Jonathan Lucroy walked.dddddddddddd Enrique Burgos came on and got Carter to hit into a double play. Braun scored on Gennetts single off the glove of shortstop Jean Segura.With Corbin throwing so many pitches (40) in the first inning, he did an unbelievable job to get to the sixth, Hale said.Corbin hasnt won since June 21, a stretch of six starts.The Diamondbacks tied it at 3 in the fourth on Bourns fielders choice with the bases loaded.Carter, who got Monday night off to regroup after going 1 for 18, singled in the Brewers first run in the first inning. Jake Elmore added a two-run single.Segura doubled and scored on Goldschmidts single in the first. Welington Castillos ground-rule double drove in Goldschmidt.MILWAUKEE GOLDGoldschmidt is a .433 career hitter (45 for 104) with 13 doubles, eight homers, 24 RBI and 20 walks in 28 games against the Brewers.LAMB OUT OF LINEUPHale kept 3B Jake Lamb (sore left hand) out of the lineup and plans to use him sparingly over the next few days.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: RHP Zack Greinke threw 40 pitches in a bullpen session. Hes been on the disabled list since June 29 with a left oblique strain. He threw 25 pitches, took a brief break and then finished with another 15. Hale said Greinke likely will pitch in an Arizona Rookie League game on Friday. ... OF David Peralta (lower back strain) will remain on his rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno, but is expected to rejoin the Diamondbacks on Friday.Brewers: INF Will Middlebrooks (lower right leg strain) was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday. In his absence, Counsell plans to use Perez more at third and less in right field. Perez has appeared in 62 games, including 39 starts (26 at 3B, 13 in RF). His versatility is valuable, Counsell said. Elmore is also in the mix at third.UP NEXTDiamondbacks: RHP Archie Bradley (3-6, 4.44 ERA) faces the Brewers for the first time. He was recalled from Triple-A Reno on May 29.Brewers: RHP Jimmy Nelson (6-8, 3.40) looks to add to his team-leading 11 quality starts when he faces the Diamondbacks for the third time in his career and first this season. He was 1-0 with a 2.77 ERA in two starts against Arizona last season.

WALTHAM, Mass. -- Bostons Isaiah Thomas is feeling like a new man. A taller man.Im now listed at 6-1, the 5-foot-9 point guard joked when he sat down at Celtics media day on Monday. I grew a couple of inches this summer.While Thomas was speaking in jest, theres nothing at all fake about his excitement entering this season.The Celtics went into this past offseason focused on attracting the kind of star power to their roster that would help them move into the contender ranks of the Eastern Conference.They missed on Kevin Durant, but added veteran All-Star forward Al Horford to a young core that already includes Thomas -- a first time All-Star himself last season -- Avery Bradley, Jae Crowder and Marcus Smart.Its given coach Brad Stevens a lot to work with entering training camp as he tries to help Boston advance past the first round of the playoffs for first time since 2012.Were not asking Al to be any more than him, Stevens said. Hes a good fit for how we play on offense, hes good fit for how we play on defense...hes a guy that guys can follow by example. Its unfair to ask Al to be anything more than who he is.Who the Celtics have been the past two seasons is one of the surprise teams in the East. They improved from 25 wins in Stevens first season in 2013-14 to 40 and 48 wins the past two seasons, which both ended in playoff berths.Boston pushed the Atlanta Hawks to six games last season despite losing Bradley to a hamstring injury in Game 1 against the Hawks, seeing big man Kelly Olynyk aggravate a shoulder injury in the same game, and watching Crowder struggle throughout the series because of an ankle issue.Having a promising year derailed by that kind of bad luck has stuck with Thomas.All season thats all I thought about, Thomas said. Losing that series left a bad taste in all of our mouths. We want to get past that first round. I do, I know that. I want to win a playoff series. I want to go farther; we have a good enough team to make that happen.Gone are sixth man Evan Turner and Jared Sullinger, who both left in free agency. But the optimism and excitement surrounding Horford was palpable Tuesday. Not only for his ability to defend and be a big man who can stretch the floor, but for his anxiousness to see the Celtics return to a championship contender.His four-year, $113 million deal certainly carries with it some weighty burdens, but he said he isnt feeling any pressure because of it.In his very first trip to the Garden as a rookie in 2007, Horford recalled being mystified by Celtics championship banners hanging from the rafters.Youre very aware, Horford said. I couldnt stop looking at the banners up top. Maybe some guys feel differently, but I couldnt stop looking at them. Its something thats powerful. It leaves an impression on you.Team president Danny Ainge said he thinks Horford is joining a team that already has garnered the attention of other teams around the NBA.Were not going to be able to sneak up on anybody, Ainge said. I think that the team has earned a great deal of respect around the league the way they played last year, and the last couple of years. Thats a good thing. Thats progress. Thats where we want to be. We want our expectations to be higher. And learning to live up to those expectations is part of the grind.This month will be about integrating Horford into that foundation.Its a challenge Horford says hes eager to embrace.I have a good idea of the history of the Celtics, and of the passion of the people here. I know that its special, and thats part of the reason that Im here, he said. I want to be a part of that.Game notes Olynyk, who had arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder in May, is due to have his five-month evaluation on Oct. 15. But he has been cleared to do noncontact drills in the interim. Hopefully in the next three or four weeks, I can get out there and make something happen, Olynyk said. I just gotta make sure its strong enough to take the hit. ...Stevens said that he has had discussions with players and other team officials regarding the protest and demonstrations that have taken place during the national anthem in the NFL and other sports. Its been great to engage in those discussions. Its been really fun for me to hear about how excited our guys are about using their platforms to promote good things, Stevens said.---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/khightower Elite 49ers Jerseys .

NEW YORK -- Thanks to injuries to two opponents, Novak Djokovic did not exactly need to put in much work to reach the U.S. Opens fourth round for the 10th consecutive year.So it made sense that the defending champion and No. 1 seed would spend extra time practicing in Arthur Ashe Stadium under the watchful eye of coach Boris Becker on Friday after spending a grand total of 31 minutes of match time on court over the second and third rounds.This particular situation I never had in my Grand Slam career. But considering the stage of the season, the amount of matches Ive played, what Ive been through with my body, I think its actually good to have some days off and then shorter matches, from one side, Djokovic said. From the other side, sure, as you are approaching second week of the Grand Slam, you want to have match play and you want to have time spent on the center court before you face one of the top players.Yes, Djokovic got another free pass at Flushing Meadows, advancing this time when Mikhail Youzhny stopped because of a strained left hamstring while trailing 4-2 after a little more than a half-hour of play.Youzhny received treatment from a trainer early on, getting his left leg wrapped, but briefly tried to continue. After holding serve in the sixth game, closing it with an overhead putaway up at the net, the Russian -- a semifinalist in New York in 2006 and 2010, and a former top-10 player now ranked 61st -- shook his head and told the chair umpire he couldnt keep going.Ill take it, Djokovic said. Im moving on and focusing on the next one.Djokovic did not play at all on Wednesday, when the man he was supposed to face in the second round, Jiri Vesely, withdrew from the tournament a couple of hours before that match because of inflammation in his left forearm.Theres plenty of things to work on. Thats the beauty of spport: Every day is different.dddddddddddd The challenge is every day you feel different on the court. I work more or less on every aspect of my game, Djokovic said.The first week of a Grand Slam, obviously, things are not 100 percent, so you are getting a way through the tournament. I didnt get too much of match play, Djokovic said. Ill try to get on the practice court once more.And that he did, changing out of his white collared match shirt into a gray T-shirt and getting in about an hour of training. As Becker stood nearby, tossing over tennis balls, Djokovic hit serve after serve. Then he hit return after return of serves from a practice partner.A few hundred fans remained in the stands at Ashe, enjoying that rare chance for an up-close look at a man who has won 12 Grand Slam titles, including two at the U.S. Open and two this year. Plenty of cellphone photos were taken.Djokovic arrived in New York with a sore left wrist. But in his first-round victory way back on Monday, he experienced problems with his right arm. He was massaged by a trainer after only five games, then repeatedly shook that arm or flexed his elbow and grimaced following serves, some of which were far slower than he usually hits. He also dropped a set in an opening-round Grand Slam match for the first time since 2010.The arm is doing very well. Everything ... is going in the right direction, Djokovic said Friday. I feel significantly better now than I (did) at the beginning of the tournament.On Sunday, maybe hell finally get a chance to test how he feels. He will be scheduled to play 84th-ranked Kyle Edmund of Britain for a spot in the quarterfinals.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale China Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale China Jerseys Cheap Cheap Jerseys China Jerseys From China Wholesale Authentic Jerseys ' ' '

After all, theyve been ahead twice before. If the Spurs want to close out the Warriors in Game 6 on Thursday night at rowdy Oracle Arena, theyll have to do what neither team has in this series: win consecutive games. Golden State also is 4-0 after a loss in the playoffs. "Nobody talks about getting this over with like youve got a rash," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "Like you can take a pill or put some cream on it, its going to be gone. This is a war. Theyre a class team. They bust their (butts) at both ends of the floor. Its not about getting rid of anything. Its about going and playing and thats about it." San Antonio has increasingly shown its veteran savvy the last three games, and Golden State has looked like its finally wearing down from all its injuries. Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and the rest of the Spurs overwhelmed the Warriors in Tuesday nights 109-91 win in San Antonio. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson -- described by Coach Mark Jackson as the "greatest shooting backcourt in NBA history" -- combined to score just 13 points on 6-of-22 shooting. Curry has refused to use the left ankle he sprained late in Game 3 as an excuse, but anybody who has watched can clearly see he has been slowed by the injury. Thompson, who failed to even attempt a 3-pointer for the first time all season Tuesday, has been shut down by San Antonio since scoring 34 points in Game 2. Neither Curry nor Thompson was made available to speak to reporters during the teams light shootaround Wednesday in Oakland. The rest of the Warriors insist theyre not worried about the "Splash Brothers" or the teams ability to respond. "Were never going to quit. Were never going to die. Weve got a lot of fight left. This isnt the end," Warriors forward Carl Landry said. "Actually, were excited about having the opportunity to play in a Game 6. Everybody in that locker room is excited and ready." The odds are not in Golden States favour. Teams that have won Game 5 of a best-of-seven series that was tied have gone on to win the series 88 out of 99 times. However, those teams are 50-49 in Game 6. The Spurs have won 11 of 12 best-of-seven series when leading 3-2. The last time the Warriors came back from a 3-2 deficit was against the Chicago Bulls in the 1975 Western Conference finals, when the franchise went on to win its only NBA title.dddddddddddd Despite all the doubt, Golden State has overcome every obstacle it has faced this season -- from forward Brandon Rushs season-ending left knee injury in the home opener to centre Andrew Boguts sore left ankle throughout the year to All-Star forward David Lees hip injury in the first round against Denver. "We are our habits and we have a tight-knit group that is able to make adjustments, own it when they dont play well and bounce back," Jackson said. "I have no doubt that will take place again." The Spurs are getting production from others besides Parker and Duncan, and that might be the biggest turnaround in a series that has been full of them. The length of Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green has bothered Curry and Thompson. Duncan and Tiago Splitter have put Bogut in foul trouble in two straight games, and San Antonios team defence has displayed the "maniacal" effort that Popovich has preached in leading the franchise to four NBA titles. "Thats how its supposed to be," said Spurs guard Manu Ginobili, who is starting to find success as a facilitator with his shot not falling. "We are not a team thats going to have somebody scoring 40 every game that we can rely on. We need everybody to contribute because we are not the most talented team in the league, so we need a contribution from everybody." Standing in the way of a second straight Western Conference finals appearance for San Antonio is a gritty Golden State team that has nothing to lose. Jackson is relying on a phrase he has repeated since the playoffs started: few people expected the Warriors to be a serious contender in the preseason, so theres no pressure on his players, who echoed those sentiments. For a franchise that has made the playoffs just twice since 1994, the Warriors are relishing the opportunity to push the conference semifinals to a decisive Game 7, which would be in San Antonio on Sunday. "Its almost like an NCAA tournament game," Landry said. "We just have to go out there and never take any possessions off. After the game, we shouldnt have anything left. We shouldnt even be able to walk to our cars. Everything should be left out on the floor."
