John Molina Jr.
Discount Nike Sb Shoes . did not come close
to making weight for his junior welterweight world title shot against unified
champion Terence Crawford on Friday, and while the fight is still on, Molina
cannot win the belts.Though Crawford was inside the 140-pound weight limit,
weighing in at 139.6 pounds, Molina was dramatically overweight.He was 144
pounds and, given two hours to lose the excess four pounds, he returned to the
scale and was 143.4 for the fight on Saturday (HBO, 9:35 p.m. ET/PT) at the
CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska, Crawfords hometown.Crawford cannot lose
the belts even if he loses the fight. Molina agreed to give up an undisclosed
five-figure payment of his $400,000 purse to Crawford, who will add it to his
$1.5 million purse, to go through with the fight.We are disappointed Molina
didnt make weight, Top Rank vice president Carl Moretti told ESPN. Im glad for
everyone involved that we were able to get (the side deal) done. This was very
unexpected. Molina looked and acted fine all week, but even salt looks like
sugar.Top Rank did not have any notion Molina was heavy until Friday morning,
which is when Molina promoter Tom Brown of TGB Promotions called Moretti to
inform him that Molina probably would not make weight.Ive never been overweight
before, Molina said. I tried my best to get it off in the two-hour limit, but I
couldnt.Crawford (29-0, 20 KOs), 29, unified titles with a one-sided decision
win against Viktor Postol on July 23 in a career-best performance and will be
making his fourth defense against Molina.Molina (29-6, 23 KOs), 33, of Covina,
California, a big underdog, is coming off a significant victory against former
junior welterweight world titleholder Ruslan Provodnikov on June 11, a fight for
which Molina did make weight.Lightweights Raymundo Beltran (31-7-1, 19 KOs), 35,
a Mexico native based in Phoenix, and Mason Menard (32-1, 24 KOs), 28, of Rayne,
Louisiana, both weighed in inside the 135-pound limit for their scheduled
10-round co-feature. Beltran weighed 133.8 pounds and Menard was 134.2.

dealt Thomas Vanek to the Montreal Canadiens after less than a year on Long

Senators on Wednesday for a fifth-round pick in 2014 and a third-rounder in
2015. New Zealand 15 for 2 (Williamson 2*, Taylor 2*, Steyn 2-3) trail South
Africa 263 (Amla 53, Wagner 3-47, Boult 3-52) by 248 runsScorecard and
ball-by-ball detailsIt seemed the only thing Dale Steyns angry eyes did not have
power over was the weather. While the grey clouds gave him swing, and he
controlled it so well that South Africas total of 263 assumed excellent
proportions, they also brought rain which allowed only 22 overs to be bowled on
the second day at Kingsmead.New Zealand were 15 for 2 at lunch and they stayed
15 for 2 when play was called off at tea time.The day had begun a little late
with South Africas tail batting. Trent Boult designed a beauty - away swing that
almost bowled Kagiso Rabada around his legs. Tim Southee, playing his first Test
in South Africa, kissed the top of leg stump. The man he dismissed, that old pro
Steyn, took four balls when New Zealand batted to make clear his having played
no Tests in eight months would only serve to embellish his legend. It was a
fast-bowling fashion show in Durban.Martin Guptill was distracted by a bevy of
outswingers before one moved in and struck the front pad. Steyn whirled around,
his veins popping and spit flying in appeal. Umpire Richard Illingworth calmly
shook his head in response.Crack it open, boy, leered the slip cordon. Tom
Latham found himself ganged up on. Then he was sucked in by one that pretended
to be a half-volley.Steyn had watched Latham playing with extreme care, making
sure his bat didnt stray too far from his body and committing himself to a shot
as late as possible. But a batsmans instinct is to score runs and that instinct
flared up when the second ball of the seventh over was pitched wide. Latham
fished outside off. Steyn bagged him, tagged him and would have instagrammed him
if he was allowed to.Guptills front pad and Steyns inswing went out on a second
date right in front of middle stump. The romance was so compelling that even
umpire Illingworth had to give his blessing.Steyns first spell read 6-4-3-2.
After a point he felt he was getting too much movement and began bowling
cross-seamers to have a better chance at snatching the outside edge.

Sale. He was on 408 wickets and needed 14 more for the South
African record.Into this walked Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor, their averages
of 10.75 and 11 in South Africa hanging over them along with the dark clouds.
They had only played three matches in this country, but they were New Zealands
two best batsmen. Regrouping on day three with them at the crease may just be
the best of a bad situation for the visitors.New Zealand will need some luck
though because overcast conditions are forecast on the third day as well and
South Africa have an attack capable of exploiting them. Vernon Philander, coming
back to Test cricket for the first time since injuring his ankle in November
2015, bustled in to string together balls on a good length and jerk them this
way and that. There was one delivery that came down perfectly straight, pitched
a few inches in front of Taylors front foot and seamed away so sharply it seemed
like a freakishly quick legbreak.The stage was … wet after the break. Gloomy
conditions - despite the floodlights - meant New Zealand were confined to their
dressing room, which they wouldnt have minded. It was safe indoors, and the All
Blacks were thumping the Wallabies in the Rugby Championship.It wasnt rain that
kept the players out for the rest of the day. For the most part the light just
wasnt good enough, leaving the 2543 people at Kingsmead, approximately one-tenth
its capacity, equally frustrated. Helpfully, play was called off with an hour
remaining for them to scramble and catch the start of the Springboks
Championship campaign.The outfield in Durban had been relaid in June and a few
chunks did come out when fielders slid to retrieve the ball. With more rain
expected at night, there was concern over whether it would be ready in time for
play to restart tomorrow at 10 am. ' ' '
