Unbeaten as a professional, 22-year-old Manuel “Tino” Avila (14-0, 5 KOs) has been attracting the attention only afforded to the top up and coming talents in the sport. A former elite amateur, Avila has continued to impress since his debut in 2010. On February 17, Avila nabbed his fourteenth professional win with a 10-round decision win over Enrique Quevedo that was highlighted by a tenth round knockdown of his toughest foe to date. On May 15, he will attempt to get win number 15 making his return to the hit Golden Boy Live! series.

Former WBC Fecarbox Champion David “Morita” De La Mora (25-5, 18 KOs) is a warrior always willing to go to battle when the bell rings. A professional since 2006, De La Mora fell short in championship fights against Koki Kameda and Anselmo Moreno, but he believes his experience will be the key to him getting a win over Avila and putting him back on the right track this May.

Born in Tijuana but now fighting out of Paramount, California, 26-year-old Manuel Roman (16-2-3, 6 KOs) has faced off with the likes of Randy Caballero, Luis Lugo and Anthony Villareal over the course of his career and while he’s had his ups and downs, a win over then 14-0 John Amuzu at the Del Mar Fairgrounds last September has “Suavecito” on the upswing.

Merida’s Jose “Cacho” Silveira (15-10, 6 KOs) is a stern test for any fighter looking to take his career to the next level and having faced nine unbeaten opponents since turning pro in 2005, the proof is right in his record. Coming off of a hard-fought eight round bout with three-time Olympian Rau’shee Warren last December, Silveira is eager to return to the win column against Roman.

NBA Y OLÉ PRESENTAN EL PRIMER SITIO OFICIAL DE LA NBA EN ARGENTINA

-- La NBA y Olé Acordaron Una Alianza Plurianual que se Compone del Sitio Oficial y la Plataforma para Móviles Todo Dirigido y En Forma Exclusiva para los Aficionados de Argentina --

 NUEVA YORK -- La Asociación Nacional de Básquetbol (NBA)  realizó una alianza de varios años con el diario deportivo Olé para lanzar el primer sitio oficial NBA en línea para los fanáticos de Argentina (NBA.com/Argentina). El nuevo sitio ofrecerá contenidos editoriales y de video.

Para Leo Farinella, director periodístico de Olé, esta alianza “nos genera el mismo sentimiento que a nuestras estrellas: desde ahora sabemos que ‘jugamos’ en la mejor liga de básquetbol del mundo. No tengo dudas que nuestras marcas se potenciarán a nivel local, regional e internacional”.

"Hay una gran pasión por el básquetbol en la Argentina y estamos muy enfocados en que la NBA esté más cerca de nuestros fanáticos”, dijo Philippe Moggio, vicepresidente de la NBA para América Latina. “Nuestra asociación con Olé es el nucleo de este esfuerzo y que nos ayudará a mantenernos en la vanguardia digital, a medida que desarrollamos nuevas y únicas formas para que los aficionados se conecten con nuestra liga”, agregó Moggio.

El acuerdo NBA-Olé ofrecerá contenidos de videos de alta calidad, las noticias del día, entrevistas, informes, estadísticas globales y de los jugadores y una amplia cobertura editorial, incluyendo su difusión en las redes sociales.

Con el lanzamiento de NBA.com/Argentina, la NBA ahora cuenta con 17 destinos internacionales en la web. La NBA fue la primera liga deportiva de Estados Unidos que comenzó a ofrecer sites internacionales en la web para sus fanáticos cuando lanzó el site para Japón, en 1999.

LeMond cree que Lance Armstrong debería ir a la cárcel

El ex ciclista estadounidense Greg LeMond cree que su compatriota Lance Armstrong debería ir a la cárcel por amenazar a la gente que sabía de sus prácticas dopantes.

"Lo peor no es sólo el doping, sino lo que hizo a la gente que dijo algo en su contra", aseguró el LeMond de 52 años en unas declaraciones publicadas hoy por la revista deportiva alemana "Sport Bild".

"Este comportamiento es criminal. Por ello debería acabar en la cárcel", afirmó el campeón del Tour de Francia en 1986, 1989 y 1990 y activo luchador contra el doping.

El propio LeMond vivió seis años con la amenaza de una demanda de más de 15 millones de dólares en el caso de que dijera públicamente algo sobre Armstrong y el doping, aseguró el ex ciclista.

"Fue algo raro que una persona tuviera más poder que todo el deporte junto", agregó.

Armstrong fue sancionado de por vida por haber recurrido al doping para ganar los siete títulos de Tour de France, de los que fue desposeído.

El ex ciclista confesó en enero del pasado año en televisión, tras años de mentiras y negaciones, que había tomado sustancias prohibidas, lo que le llevó a perder sus patrocinadores y a enfrentarse a demandas aún pendientes que le podrían costar muchos millones de dólares.

Sin embargo, para LeMond esa confesión no sirve para la rehabilitación del tejano. "No pueden devolverle ninguno de sus títulos del Tour de Francia. En ningún caso", declaró.

"Si diera a conocer toda la verdad y mostrara arrepentimiento verdadero, entonces tendría una oportunidad", indicó. "¡Verdadero arrepentimiento!", insistió.

El martes el belga Johan Bruyneel, que fue jefe de Armstrong, fue suspendido diez años por la USADA (Agencia Antidoping de Estados Unidos) en su relación por el escándalo de doping en torno al estadounidense.

Strong Defensive Effort Gives Shorthanded Earthquakes 0-0 Draw on the Road Against Colorado

 

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – The San Jose Earthquakes picked up their first clean sheet of the season in a 0-0 draw against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
 
Despite missing both of their regulars on the depth chart at left back and starting right back Brandon Barklage, Earthquakes head coach Mark Watson was able to cobble together a backline that withstood the Rapids’ advances throughout the match. The Earthquakes also finished the game down a man after second-year forward Adam Jahn was sent off in the 87th minute.
 
The Earthquakes put pressure on their hosts early and nearly found the net two minutes in. Alan Gordon had a look in front of goal after a Shea Salinas corner kick, but his header rattled the crossbar and bounced away.
 
Chris Wondolowski had another golden chance in the 38th minute after losing his marker on a free kick from Salinas. Wondolowski snapped a header toward goal, but watched his shot shave the woodwork just high.
 
Earthquakes goalkeeper Jon Busch was largely untested in picking up his first shutout of the season. He made one save with Andreas Gorlitz, Victor Bernardez, Clarence Goodson and Ty Harden providing cover on the backline. Gorlitz, a former Bayern Munich product, played 90 minutes in his San Jose debut while Harden went the distance in his first career start at left back.  
 
Saturday’s draw ups the club’s unbeaten streak against Colorado to eight games (5-0-3).
 
The Earthquakes return to action on Saturday, April 26 against Chivas USA at Buck Shaw Stadium. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. PT on Comcast SportsNet California, 1590 KLIV and 1370 KZSF.

SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES HEAD COACH MARK WATSON

 
On result:
“That’s a good result. You look at how the 90 minutes unfolded, we had to dig deep again and had a lot of pressure on us. We also went down a player. We’ll take a lot of positives out this result with the way we fought and earned that clean sheet.”
 
On defensive effort:
“That’s our first clean sheet of the season. That’s something we pride ourselves on, being tough to break down, and we hadn’t quite gotten there this season. I thought our team played well. Colorado had a fair bit of pressure. I don’t think we had a ton of great chances, but there were some good situations where we just lacked a bit of quality in the final third.”
 
On Andrea Gorlitz:
“I thought he did well. He’s been battling injuries for eight weeks now. That was his first 90 minutes and his first time with our first team. He’s an experience pro, calm, a good passer of the ball. Defensively he was solid in dealing with Deshorn Brown, who has a lot of pace, and I thought he did well handling a tough Colorado team.”
 
 
SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES FORWARD ALAN GORDON
 
On his chance that hit the crossbar:
“It was a good ball. I was able to get free. I was just trying to put it on target. It was a bit high, and hit the crossbar. I tried to get the rebound, but my momentum was carrying me away. That’s just the way it goes sometimes, but next time hopefully [it will go in].”
 
On getting a point on the road:
“I think we’re happy with the point. It’s tough to play here and we’re playing against a good team. But I think that we’re getting desperate for a win. I don’t think that we’re celebrating by any means, but we’ll take the point and move forward.”
 
 
SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES DEFENDER CLARENCE GOODSON
 
On what kind of a threat the Rapids offense poses:
“Strength and pace. Edson [Buddle] is kind of a target forward, and you have the other guys, [Vicente] Sánchez and [Deshorn] Brown as well, playing off of him trying to get behind. I think we were just trying to keep a good shape and we’ve gotten away from that a bit in the last few games to give up some not so good goals. That was really the focus tonight – get into a good shape.”
 
On Colorado not having very many chances at goal:
“They had some crosses, but I don’t remember any saves that [Jon] Busch had to make that were goal-saving saves. They certainly had a lot of corners, but we’re big guys. We don’t give up a lot of opportunities on set pieces. I think we had opportunities to score as well. We had some good crosses in at the end there with Yannick [Djalo], a really dynamic player. I thought he got hacked a few times as well and we could have had some free kicks.”
 
 
 
On what the message was at halftime:
“Stay focused. Toward the end of the first half it really got kind of messy out there. It’s a hard field and when it starts to rain it gets slick, so there were of those kinds of mistakes. Ty [Harden] and I slipped on a play, I think that was maybe their best chance, but they ended up shooting wide. I think [Jon] Busch may have touched the shot, but it was going high. It got really windy as well so I think we were sitting back a little more than we wanted to, and we just wanted to step up a little bit more and put more pressure on them, if possible, higher on the field. And we did that in the second half.”
