Julio Lugo Rumors
D'Backs Scouting Red Sox
Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe notes that the D'Backs have been scouting the Red Sox recently. This may be nothing more than a straightforward assignment, but Chad Tracy could appeal to the Red Sox. Mike Lowell should return after the All-Star break, but Tracy, who just came off the DL, could appeal to Boston if Lowell's injury is worse than anticipated.
The D'Backs "would like to move" the corner infielder, who will become a free agent after the season if the D'Backs don't exercise his $7MM option for next season. The Red Sox have limited space on their bench, however, especially now that Julio Lugo is boosting his trade value by hitting better.

Reds Seek Bats
Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports reports that the Reds are actively seeking right-handed hitting, especially after losing out on Mark DeRosa to the rival Cardinals. Here are a few options for the Reds, who could improve at third base, shortstop and left field:
- They have considered dealing for Josh Willingham.
- Ty Wigginton could fit their needs as well.
- Adding Matt Holliday would be huge for the Reds, but he'd command the biggest return of all.
- Gary Matthews Jr. could fit in Cincy if the Angels are willing to pay a considerable portion of his contract. The Angels would likely want relief help in return.
- Since the Red Sox may be prepared to eat a considerable portion of Julio Lugo's salary, the Reds could consider dealing for him and asking for Boston to pay most of his $9MM salary.

Red Sox Rumors: Penny, Bay, Lugo
The Boston Globe has posted a few notes today from Amalie Benjamin and Tony Massarotti.
- Massarotti says that between Daisuke Matsuzaka on the DL, the age John Smoltz (42) and Tim Wakefield (43), and not knowing how much Clay Buchholz can contribute, Brad Penny is "more valuable to the Red Sox than people may think" and there shouldn't be any urge to move him. Massarotti quotes Terry Francona, "We didn't sign him to trade him. We signed him to win. He's worked hard. I only think it's going to continue to get better."
- While Jason Bay isn't concerned about getting a contract done, Massarotti says the Sox "have every intention of revisiting talks with the outfielder before the end of the season, a baseball source has confirmed."
- Amalie Benjamin suggests that Jed Lowrie's return could mark the end of the Julio Lugo era in Boston. Before yesterday, Lugo had not started since June 14, ceding time to Nick Green who is making $8.5MM less. According to Benjamin, "…the shortstop would be foolish not to prepare for the possibility of being released. The Sox would be on the hook for his salary, and he could be signed by any club for the league minimum."

Lugo Available; Mets Not Interested
Alex Speier of WEEI.com reports that the Mets are not interested in acquiring Julio Lugo. The Jose Reyes injury leaves them "in dire straits" according to Speier's source, but they are not "desperate" enough to go after Lugo. He's available on the trade market, but has $15MM remaining on his contract between this year and 2010.
The Red Sox have shortstop issues of their own, and are considering making a deal. They're playing Lugo and Nick Green as they await Jed Lowrie's return from a wrist injury.

Lowrie To Be Tested, Could Miss Season
According to John Tomase of the Boston Herald Jed Lowrie will have his left wrist examined today in Arizona. If the tests don't go well he could face surgery that, as Lowrie says, "would essentially be the season."
The Red Sox have Julio Lugo and Nick Green to play short. Lugo is rehabbing his way back from knee trouble and Green was actually outperforming Lowrie so far this season. There aren't any shortstops available on the free agent market.

Lugo To Have Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
Julio Lugo is going to have his knee scoped to determine the severity of a torn meniscus, reports Dan Barbarisi of the Providence Journal. Recovery from a meniscus tear can be a matter of weeks or months.
Lugo has a $9MM vesting option for 2011 that requires 600 plate appearances in 2010 (and 2400 PAs from '07-'10) for it to kick in. That now looks improbable.

Red Sox Rumors: Lugo, Bay, Varitek, Beckett
The latest on the Red Sox, courtesy of WEEI's Alex Speier.
- Julio Lugo says he's in the best shape of his career. The $9MM shortstop won't be happy if he's on the bench this year. Speier believes he'll ask for a trade if he doesn't win the competition with Jed Lowrie. Lugo was following the Tigers trade rumors earlier this winter.
- Jason Bay remains open to an extension, but admitted "it's not the end-all, be-all." Bay will be part of the 2009-10 free agent class if the Sox don't lock him up.
- According to the AP, catcher Jason Varitek spoke of spending the rest of his career with the Red Sox.
- WEEI's Rob Bradford spoke to Josh Beckett, who hopes to remain in Boston past his current contract. The Red Sox have a $12MM club option for a $2MM buyout for 2010.
- Bradford also reports that the Brad Wilkerson signing is official; he's in camp on a minor league deal.

Lugo For Byrnes Talks Dead?
FRIDAY: ESPN's Jerry Crasnick notes that this deal looks dead now that the D'Backs have signed Felipe Lopez (MLBTR commenters were all over the idea as well).
THURSDAY: According to ESPN's Steve Phillips, the Red Sox and Diamondbacks are having discussions about swapping Julio Lugo for Eric Byrnes. Lugo would play second base for Arizona, while Byrnes would be Boston's fourth outfielder. Lugo has $18MM left on his deal, Byrnes $22MM with no-trade protection.

Baldelli A Fit For Red Sox?
We've all heard the Rocco Baldelli-Red Sox rumors. Today Ed Price says the Sox are wary of Baldelli in that they'll need their fourth outfielder to be able to play the outfield for significant stretches.
Price adds that the Red Sox still hope to trade Julio Lugo and replace him with a utility infielder.

Red Sox Rumors: Bloomquist, Lugo, Varitek
Red Sox linkage…
- Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald says the name of Willie Bloomquist continues to be associated with the Red Sox.
- Silverman says the Sox have been floating around Julio Lugo's name; no interest yet.
- Silverman sees the Tigers, Marlins, and maybe Yankees as potential suitors for Jason Varitek. Scott Boras would have a hard time getting two years, $20MM from any of those teams. The Marlins or Yanks would have to give up their first-round pick, too.

After reading the title of Massachusetts-bred Booth newcomer Jinx's new single, you might be expecting an ode to the popular sportswear company, or perhaps a track centered around a (probably F-bomb-containing) acronym. The truth, however, is considerably weirder than either of those options: F.I.L.A. is the name of a "futuristic love angel" from the past (yeah, I'm not sure how that works either), who sparks up a romance with the rapper, a spacefaring adventurer who refers to himself as "the black Buzz Lightyear." The time travelers' romance is passionate, but short-lived; ultimately, their feelings for one another aren't enough to bridge the temporal gap, and their love meets a bittersweet end. So yeah, it's a little out there – whether or not you can wrap your heard around the spaced-out premise, though, the combo of Jinx's witty rhyme style and producer Adrian McKennon's dreamy boardwork makes for an appealingly strange experience. Like what you're hearing? More fantastic journeys await on the artist's Furutama LP, released in April and out now online.

Clarke rails at treatment of 'amateur' British team
Thursday 23 March 2006
The departing Great Britain coach, Phil Clarke, has accused the Rugby League and Super League clubs of lacking commitment to the success of the national team.
Clarke quit this week after five years in the job, despairing of closing the gap on Australia and New Zealand. "We're no closer than we were 15 years ago," he said last night. "I would question the interest from the RFL and the interest from the clubs."
Clarke complained about the lack of time and resources allocated to the Great Britain team. He said: "We're almost amateur in our preparation compared to some Super League teams. Since we lost the fourth Test at the KC Stadium we haven't had a single meeting for Great Britain. So how do we possibly get better?"
Wigan have signed a former St Helens forward, Tim Jonkers, on a one-month loan from Salford to bolster their injury-hit pack, following their failure to bring in Keith Mason.
Ian Millward, who coached Jonkers at St Helens, has put the forward straight into the Wigan squad for the match at Bradford tomorrow.
The Great Britain captain Jamie Peacock is back for Leeds after a knee injury for Saturday's game at Harlequins, whose own injury toll is so severe that they may have to play three newcomers. Duncan James, a scrum-half from their rugby union landlords, is in the squad, along with Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook and Michael Worrincy.
Mick Cassidy, of Widnes, and Paul Rowley, of Leigh, have both been suspended for one match for offences in their Northern Rail Cup game earlier this month.

"Super quick delivery (days earlier than expected!). Quick and easy design template. I used the pearl paper and am so glad I did. It added a little extra shine to the gold style design. The weight of the paper was perfect for my son's birth announcement!"
"Lovely card that is both elegant and sweet at the same time. Perfect for showing off our much waited for sibling without being too modern."
"Fast delivery received them earlier than expected. Cute two in one announcement so you don't have to purchase to announcements."
"I should have ordered more! This card turned out really well. I used the plain green/blue back and used a white pen to write personal messages to recipients. I had professional newborn photos done, so this was a good way to showcase them. Other colour options would be great."
"the quality of the card was better I thought it would be. I was seeking an economical announcement without looking cheap...and this turned out very well! I would purchase again."

Nhuan LeXuan
Under the Purple Flowers
In the purple flowers' shade
You kissed me the first kiss.
The moon lit its light of jade;
The cicadas sang their song of bliss.
Then, time passed fast and blind;
You went to your studies above
Leaving the purple flowers behind
With such a dreamlike love.
In each letter sent to the old place
You said you still missed this start
With the purple flowers of grace
And this young and true heart.
I have come back each day alone
To see the old flowers obsess
And hear the cicadas groan;
I feel such a vague distress.
I have nurtured my pastoral love
Now that summer is back to see
With the purple flowers above
I am an amorous banyan tree.

It was a quiet hotel, as stated, yet very conveniently located with Metro stop just steps away. We felt as if we "lived" in Paris with the location. Staff extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Breakfast buffet good with lady available to replenish at request. Very happy with hotel. - Margaret
We loved this hotel. The room was elegant and just as pictured. The bedding was 5 star and even the baby crib had top quality sheets. The location was perfect and close to busy main street , but far enough away that it was quiet. We highly reccommend this hotel and will stay there again on our next trip to Paris. you will not be dissappointed with this hotel. - Susan
Condo chic studio is in a wonderful area, right in the heart of the 6th. Perfectly placed for your Paris adventures. The metro is 100 metres away. There's a great crepe takeaway at the comptoir across the road.
The studio is above an Italian restaurant, and the stairs are steep, narrow, and windy, so beware if this could be an issue.
There is a great wine shop one street up which had a great selection.
Overall, an great location in a tremendous part of Paris - Anonymous
Le Villiers is really good hotel, perfectly located and easy reachable from any destination in Paris. I liked not only the destination but also the hotel itself. The room was perfect and the services as well. I will reccomend this hotel to everyone. Being there was very good background for enjoying Paris. - Simona
Location and the market - Anonymous
Staff superb, location ideal, room very nice and comfortable, clean,well appointed. We stayed in a deluxe room- not large by U.S. standardsbut larger than average for Paris. All front desk staff went above andbeyond to help us with many different requests. The concierge stayed anhour past the end of his night shift to help us make some travelarrangements. Very helpful, friendly! - Blake
The hotel is tiny but cosy. Stuff is very friendly. I felt myself like at home. I recommend this hotel everyone who is comfortable with small space. Room was quite small, but as I stayed alone it wasn't bother me. The location is perfect, it's 5 minutes on foot from Arc de Triomph and the nearest metro. - Anonymous
ideal for solo person, even with bath! - Yiqun

They say you should never judge a book by its cover, but the title of Dent May's debut album really says it all. The Good Feeling Music of Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele is, as you might expect, a blithely sentimental collection of throwback whimsy and mellifluous lounge ditties. May is a somewhat unlikely addition to Animal Collective's Paw Tracks label, but the bespectacled crooner from the state of Mississippi is hoping that his doo-wop melodies and nebbish naiveté will allow him to charm and strum his way into the hearts of uke-lovin' softies everywhere. You may fault him for kitsch, you may fault him for schmaltz, but you could never fault him for false advertising.

The NHL's first attempt to establish itself in the Bay Area died 30 years ago this week. Final score of the final game: California 5, Los Angeles 2 -- and hockey fans zero for the next 15 years. Talk about a doomed franchise. In its nine years on the planet, this one had seven ownership groups and three name changes. The California Seals. The Oakland Seals. The California Golden Seals. Wait, let's try California Seals again. Eventually, they came up with a fourth name: the Cleveland Barons.

Associated Press
Nearly four years after Barack Obama was elected to the most powerful office in the most powerful country in the world, the question remains: Who is he?
He seemed to come out of nowhere. He had served seven years in the Illinois Senate, and less than four years in the U.S. Senate — a meager political resume, augmented by a stirring speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
His was an exotic story, at least by the standards of the 42 white men who preceded him in office. Son of a black African and white Kansan, born in Hawaii, raised there and in Indonesia, he was something new, and America seemed ready for him. He won almost 9.5 million votes more than John McCain.
And yet, "there was the feeling that we knew less than we needed to know" about our new president, says Janny Scott, author of "A Singular Woman," a biography of Stanley Ann Dunham, Obama's mother. "He didn't fit a comfortable template."
Four years have passed. We have watched Obama as commander in chief, waging wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — and we have seen him accept the Nobel Peace Prize. We have seen him grapple with a dismal economy and a relentless opposition. We have been spectators to a grueling fight over health care from which he emerged victorious — if only just barely. All of this in the glare of a fierce and unyielding media spotlight.
By now, we should have a fix on the man who is asking for a second term.
But still we ask: Who is Barack Obama?
On the last night of April in 2011, Obama put on his black tie for the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner at the Washington Hilton. Obama was in good form that night; he congratulated Donald Trump, then considering a run for the Republican nomination, on his recent decision to fire actor Gary Busey on "Celebrity Apprentice."
"These are the kinds of decisions that would keep me up at night," Obama said, to peals of laughter. "Well-handled, sir. Well-handled."
What his audience didn't realize — what few people knew at that moment — was that Obama had, just hours before, given the go-ahead for the mission that would claim the life of America's Public Enemy No. 1, Osama bin Laden. It was a huge gamble, perhaps the biggest of Obama's presidency.
"If that failed, it really would have been a political disaster," says historian Robert Dallek, who has written books on presidents from Franklin Roosevelt to Ronald Reagan. "It would have been reminiscent of Jimmy Carter and the helicopter going down in the Iranian desert" in an ill-starred effort to rescue American hostages from Tehran.
If Obama was nervous, he kept it hidden. In fact, he played nine holes of golf the next morning, before returning to the White House to monitor the unfolding mission during what he later described as "the longest 40 minutes of my life."
It was retired Air Force Chief of Staff Tony McPeak, an Obama supporter, who first called him "No-Drama Obama" during the 2008 campaign. The nickname stuck, perhaps because sang-froid is central to Obama's personality.
"That measured approach to everything characterizes a lot of what he has done," says David M. Kennedy, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian. "It's kind of remarkable how he has stayed in character, as if he were the calm, cool grown-up in the room."
This has not always worked in his favor; at his first debate with Mitt Romney, he appeared detached, almost professorial, and he took a beating in the polls. Repeatedly, he has frustrated supporters who say he does not express righteous anger when he should.
Kennedy recalls that in 1936, when FDR was running for his second term, he declared the start of the second New Deal — and pronounced himself ready to take on the many, moneyed powers aligned against him: "They are unanimous in their hate for me — and I welcome their hatred."

Leafs' Ranger released from hospital following hit from Killorn
Toronto Maple Leafs' Paul Ranger is taken off the ice on a stretcher after hitting the boards head first from a check by Tampa Bay Lightning's Alex Killorn during first period NHL action in Toronto on Wednesday, March 19, 2014. (CP / Frank Gunn)
The Canadian Press
Published Thursday, March 20, 2014 7:50AM EDT
Last Updated Thursday, March 20, 2014 1:02PM EDT
TORONTO -- Maple Leafs defenceman Paul Ranger was released from a Toronto hospital Wednesday night, the team said in a statement.
Ranger's head struck the glass on a hit from the Tampa Bay Lightning's Alex Killorn, and he remained on the ice for seven minutes before he was taken off on a stretcher.
The Leafs said during the 5-3 loss that Ranger was "stable, conscious and alert" after going to the hospital for precautionary reasons.
Aside from two brief statements, the team has not released any other information about Ranger's condition.
Players are off Thursday and return to practice Friday.

The Bravery Tragedy Bound Lyrics
Last updated: 03/12/2013 12:32:16 PM
Tragedy Bound
Looking for clues
I'm starting to suspect she likes abuse
I'm starting to feel like she doesn't feel
Is there anybody in there?
Tragedy Bound
She is a mess
Her daddy was a demon watching her dress
He shriveled her down, wore her like a crown
Is there anybody in there?
All her life, she's bound to lose
Tragedy Bound
I feel sick
Her daddy was killed, her feelings were mixed
He wore a hole in her skin, now all the boys look in
Is there anybody in there?
Tragedy Bound
Now she's stuck
She can't even care enough to fuck
She's cutting herself just to see if it works
Is there anybody in there?
All her life, she's bound to lose
Tragedy bound
If I met this man
Whout would I say? How could I speak
How could I speak

This song strikes me to the core. It's raw emotion is amazing but not overwhelming. The artist cries for this poor shell of a girl and we know his sorrow. We can feel the pain she isn't able to. Its amazing.

Geale was confident of victory when he said: "Training has gone very well with my trainer Graham Shaw at the Grange gym. We have seen Barbosa on tape and he looks good but I am confident of victory. Graham and myself are certain we can lift my performance by 30% from my fight with Anthony Mundine."

More on Pacquiao-Castillo
By Dennis Principe
Proving that last week's bad weather was never an issue in training camp, Manny Pacquiao dominated his sparring partners Tuesday at the Shape-Up Gym in Cooyesan Hotel in Baguio City. Pacquiao sparred with highly touted former two-time world lightweight champion Jose Luis Castillo of Mexico for three rounds. Pacquiao is preparing for his upcoming world welterweight with Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto set for 12-rounds at a catch weight of 145lbs scheduled on November 14 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas, Nevada. In his anticipated sparring with Castillo, Pacquiao used his vastly improved lateral movements in trying to avoid the Mexican's uppercuts and body shots. Pacquiao stalled Castillo's aggressive attacks with three to five punch combos and counter left straights. (more…)
Abraham, Taylor workout
Dozens of reporters and camera teams attended today's public workout in the heart of Berlin as "King" Arthur Abraham and Jermain Taylor gave a taste of their class. The two former champions will open the hotly anticipated Super Six World Boxing Classic in front of what will be a sell-out crowd at the o2 World Arena here on Saturday night (SHOWTIME®, 8 p.m. ET/PT, tape delayed). Not just the German capital, but the international press and fans around the world are buzzing with anticipation. Camera teams from Russia, Denmark, Italy, Germany and America, amongst other nations, were deployed to cover today's training session. King Arthur believes his opponent will be in for "an unpleasant surprise". He said: "Taylor is good, he is a proven champion, but he has never been in the ring with someone that punches as hard as I do. He will find out on Saturday. I have a lot of respect for him, but he will not beat me in my hometown. The Super Six is the biggest challenge of my life and I want to be a star in America once the tournament is over."

Pacquiao spars with Castillo
By Nick Giongco
Manny Pacquiao finally engaged ex-world champion Jose Luis Castillo of Mexico in a sparring session on Tuesday in his training camp in Baguio City and two key figures inside the Filipino's camp were both satisfied with the showing of the 35-year-old warhorse from Sonora state. "Castillo proved to be a worthy sparmate," said Pacquiao's Canadian adviser Mike Koncz, who personally picked Castillo to spend some quality minutes with his boss. Conditioning coach Alex Ariza was also all praises for Castillo, who will likely fill in the void that will be left by Urbano Antillon. Antillon is due to return to the US this weekend so he could get used to the local weather there as he prepares for a fight next month. Freddie Roach wanted to know if Castillo was indeed in shape as he ordered the Mexican to start off the seven-round session by going three rounds with Pacquiao. After Castillo, Pacquiao worked with unbeaten super-welterweight Shawn Porter. So far, Pacquiao has logged a total of 38 rounds of sparring. Pacquiao, who faces Miguel Cotto on Nov. 14 in Las Vegas, spars thrice a week.
Andy Lee opponent named
Middleweight contender Andy Lee (19-1, 14 KOs) announced details of his next fight today at a press conference overlooking the hallowed turf of Thomond Park in Limerick, Ireland.

The professional debut of Peking Olympic champion Rachim Chakhkiev ended in success on Saturday night in Rostock when the Russian cruiserweight scored an impressive second round KO over Tayar Mehmed. A hard left hook ended the night for the overtaxed Mehmed. Chakhkiev was very happy about his debut as a pro. "This was all very thrilling for me," he said. "It's a big difference from the amateurs. Everything is a few dimensions larger. It especially hit me when I made my first walk into the atmosphere of the arena. This makes me hunger for more." (more…)
Ajamu returns Nov. 20 in AC
By Rick Scharmberg
Prince Badi Ajamu (27-3-1, 15 KOs), of Camden, NJ will defend his NBA light heavyweight title when he take on Otis "Triple OG" Griffin (20-6-2, 8 KOs), of Sacramento, CA in a twelve round bout on Friday, November 20 at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. Ajamu, or "The Boxing Prince", won the title in his last bout against DeAndrey Abron last July, also in Atlantic City. The card, promoted by Dee Lee Promotions, promises to be a light heavyweight bonanza, as Patrick Perez (25-7, 14 KOs) and Chuck "The Professor" Mussachio (13-1-2, 5 KOs) are also penciled in to appear in separate bouts.

Lopez-Mtagwa Aftermath
By Matt Richardson
It was one of those nights when nobody seemed ready to leave. 15, 20 even 30 minutes after WBO junior featherweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez beat Rogers Mtagwa by unanimous decision in the theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Saturday night, there was still a significant contingent of fans and media on hand, almost standing in disbelief at what they had just witnessed. For 12 brutal and sensational rounds, Lopez and Mtagwa traded wild shots in what has to be considered one of the best fights of 2009, if not the best. (more…)
Muriqi wins in Greensboro
On Saturday night, Walter Johnson Promotions and Worldboxe hosted a fight card at the Greensboro Coliseum Special Event Center in Greensboro, NC. The best known fighter on the card, light heavywight Elivir Muriqi (37-5, 23 KOs) was impressive with his workman like effort in his bout scoring a third round TKO over veteran Tiwon Taylor (27-16, 20 KOs). For his efforts Elvir picked up the Universal Boxing Council (UNBC) America's belt. In the main event, crusierweights Paul Jennette (12-2, 9 KOs) and Zach Mwekassa fought a slugfest that will not soon be forgotten by any in attendance. (more…)
Barrios returns Nov. 21
Former world champion Jorge Rodrigo "La Hiena" Barrios (48-4-1, 34 KOs) will look to extend his unbeaten streak within his native Argentina to 31 when he takes on Mexico City banger Michael Lozada (32-5-1, 25 KOs) for the WBO Intercontinental lightweight title on November 21 at the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In the co-featured bout, unbeaten junior welterweight knockout artist Lucas Matthysse (24-0, 22 KOs) will take on an opponent to be determined in a WBO Latino title bout. HBO Plus will televise in Latin America.
Clottey vs Quintana set
WBA #1 ranked welterweight Joshua Clottey of Accri, Ghana will take on former world champion Carlos Quintana of Moca, Puerto Rico on the Pavlik vs. Williams world title card Dec. 5 at the historic Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. Clottey and Quintana will box 10 rounds. The fight will be televised by HBO before world middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik and challenger Paul Williams get into the ring. Clottey has a record of 35-3, 21 KOs. Quintana's record is 26-2, 20 KOs. Bob Arum made the announcement today. Clottey is promoted by Top Rank. Quintana is handled by DiBella Entertainment. The Dec. 5 title card is hosted by Caesars Atlantic City. "This is the most important fight in the careers of Clottey and Quintana. Both need to win to get to the next level — a championship fight," said Brad Goodman, Top Rank matchmaker. "It's a tough fight against a tough fighter in Quintana," added Vinny Scolpino, manager of Clottey. "Joshua has to work hard and do his business in the ring on December 5."
Mtagwa Camp wants rematch
Hall-of-Fame boxing promoter J Russell Peltz feels the WBO should pressure its super bantamweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez to give Rogers Mtagwa an immediate rematch in the wake of Saturday night's thriller in Madison Square Garden. Lopez, now 27-0, 24 K0s, was awarded a unanimous decision by scores of 114-113, 115-111 (Peltz: "Gimme a break.") and 116-111 (Peltz: "Why even show up?"). "There should Lopez-Mtagwa II before Lopez fights anyone else," Peltz said. "The fans want it!" (more…)

Kiyota, Miyazaki, Shikasho win
By Joe Koizumi
We witnessed a triple header with the OPBF and national belts on the line today (Monday; our national holiday named Athletic Day) in Tokyo, Japan. OPBF super-middle champ Seizo Kiyota (18-2-1, 16 KOs), 168, was awarded a TKO victory as he landed a very strong right cross to Indonesian challenger Yanto Siamora (13-4-4, 3 KOs), 168, to halt him at 2:52 of the third round in a scheduled twelve. Australian referee Frank Hadley didn't bother to intervene, as he saw the much shorter Indonesian unfit to go on because of his absorption of punishment. Unbeaten prospect from Osaka, JBC#6 Ryo Miyazaki (10-0-2, 5 KOs), 108, upset WBA#9/WBC#9 ex-world challenger and national champ Munetsugu Kayo (17-3-3, 9 KOs), 107.5, by a unanimous technical decision (99-94, 98-94, 97-94) at 1:13 of the tenth and final stanza to capture the Japanese 108-pound belt in a surprising ten. Miyazaki's direct big rights very frequently caught the southpaw champ to effectively hurt and bloody him, and a head-collision in the last session made the ref Uratani to terminate the affair and take a technical verdict. Game and gutsy Asami Shikasho (3-1, 1 KO), 112, acquired the vacant female OPBF flyweight belt by lopsidedly batter Thailander OA Kokietgym (6-4, 1 KO), 111, to stop her at 0:46 of the eighth round in a scheduled ten-round elimination bout. Promoter: Flash Akabane Promotions.
Thai boxer Sakai dies in Japan
By Joe Koizumi
A sorrowful tragedy happened as Thai top bantam contender Sakai Jockygym (11-6, 5 KOs), 121.5, passed away at hospital almost just after he was stopped by JBC#8 bantam Kazuyoshi Niki (25-3-1, 13 KOs), 122, at 1:02 of the tenth and final session on Monday in Munakata, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. We sincerely mourn his passing. The ring victim Sakai was the Thailander who recently shattered a daydream of former three-time WBC bantam champ, ex-Japanese superstar Joichiro Tatsuyoshi's severely criticized comeback by badly and miserably annihilating him into a TKO defeat in Bangkok, Thailand, this March.
Sakai tonight suffered a knockdown as he touched the canvas with Niki's right counter in the opening session. The Thailander gamely fought back hard, while Niki aimed exclusively at the midsection to have him fading in later rounds. The ref declared a halt when Niki had him off balanced with a solid right without the Thailander hitting the deck midway in the final session. (more…)
Froch dismisses Dirrell comments
WBC super middleweight champ Carl Froch says he's happy to let Andre Dirrell's mouth make all the running ahead of their Super Six World Boxing Classic showdown at the Trent FM Arena, Nottingham on SHOWTIME Saturday night. Froch though believes that the talk emanating from the challenger masks an underlying insecurity. "I think it's a case of his mouth writing checks that his butt can't cash," said Froch. "All this trash talk from him this close to the fight only confirms the first impressions I had of him when we all met up in New York to launch the Super Six. I think all the big talk is just to mask his own insecurities that maybe he's not ready for this level. It sounds like he'd sooner take me on at baseball then step in to a ring with me. I think it's dawned on him that now he has to step into the ring with the world's best fighters and maybe he's starting to doubt his own ability. If that's the case then the last place he needs to be next Saturday night is in a boxing ring at the Trent FM Arena, in front of 10,000 Cobra fans and with me standing in the opposite corner. It's going to be a very, very lonely place for him and all the talk in the world will count for nothing when that first bell rings."

Mark Carney must cool off an overheating housing market
James Moore
James Moore is Deputy Business Editor at The Independent.
Wednesday 21 May 2014
Outlook Property is once again the hot investment commodity, as results from the buy-to-let lender Paragon clearly demonstrated. First-half profits grew by a fifth and the chief executive reckons lending could more than double in the second half. Clients borrowed £269.3m in the first six months of the company's year, and with a pipeline of £348m, it would be a surprise if his prediction doesn't prove accurate.
Which brings us to yesterday's increase in inflation to 1.8 per cent. That was probably down to factors such as a late Easter, and it still remains below the Bank of England's 2 per cent target. So there doesn't appear to be any real threat of an interest rate rise any time soon, despite what some commentators would have you believe.
Nonetheless, the Bank's Governor, Mark Carney, is right to be worried. With house prices rising at 8 per cent, the bubble continues to expand apace. He needs to find a way of deflating it gently before it pops.
