shell join the LPGA Tour in 2015 instead of attending the UMONTREAL - There seemed to be a curse on Saturday nights boxing card at the Bell Centre even before Jean Pascals main event against Roberto Bolonti ended in a controversial no contest. Michael Bennett Jersey .The two were not originally scheduled to face each other, but were paired after their opponents pulled out. That left a 10-round, non-title contest that was no more than a tune-up for Laval, Que.s Pascal, who was already booked for a bigger fight in March against world champion Sergey Kovalev.It ended in confusion, as Pascal hit Bolonti with a short right as they were coming out of a clinch along the ropes in the second round and the Argentine dropped to the canvas. He stayed there for several minutes, taking oxygen from ring medical staff before he was taken out on a stretcher to hospital.Referee Michael Griffin ruled it a no contest due to an unintentional foul at 2:29 of the second, so the records of Pascal (29-2-1) and Bolonti (35-3) remain unchanged.And it should not stop Pascals showdown with Kovalev on March 14, to be held in either Montreal or Quebec City.Its an unfortunate incident, said Pascal, the former WBC champion. Its too bad because I wanted to put on a good show.I was doing well the first two rounds. It happened really fast, but he hit me once behind the head and again on the ear and I didnt hear the ref say break. I saw an opening and I hit him. If hes really hurt, I wish him a full recovery.The crowd booed, but it was difficult to determine if there wasnt some play-acting on both sides.Bolonti looked to have a slight advantage in an uneventful first round, but Pascal dropped the Argentine with a left jab early in the second and went on the attack.Then the two clinched in the middle of the ring. Bolonti swung twice at Pascal as they moved together to the ropes. They were just coming out of the clinch when Pascal hit him on the side of the head.A first, it appeared Pascal would lose by disqualification, which may have compromised the Kovalev bout. So having it ruled a no contest came as a relief.There was no comment from the Bolonti camp, but Pascals corner was convinced he stayed down in a bid to win by DQ. Trainer Roy Jones Jr. said Bolontis reaction was worthy of Hollywood.When you hit him for real and he really goes down, theres a difference, said Jones, the former middleweight king. When Jean hit him with the jab, he got up right away because he was embarrassed that he got knocked down from a jab.When he started faking, there was no chance he was coming back. This punch wasnt as hard as the jab, but there was no chance he was getting up. Its disgusting.Pascal is not known for illegal punches, but had no clear explanation for why he decided at that time to throw an illegal shot.He punched me on the ear so I punched back, said Pascal. I didnt know the ref said break. That was an unintentional punch. I dont know what to say. Im not a dirty fighter. Ive never done that in my life.Jean Bedard, president of Promoter InterBox, was relieved that Pascal didnt lose and came out of the bout without an injury.Michel Hamelin, head of Quebecs boxing commission, said it was ruled a no contest because both fighters threw punches during the clinch.It was the referees decision, not the commissions. The referee acted properly, he said. Bolonti was conscious when he was taken from the ring.He seemed to be recovering but we didnt want to take any chances so he went to hospital, Hamelin said.Pascal won the WBC title with a win over Adrian Diaconu in 2009 and defended it four times before losing a 12-round decision to Bernard Hopkins in 2011. Hopkins lost the WBC belt soon after, but had the IBF and WBA belts when he lost to Kovalev last month in Atlantic City.The WBC title is now held by another Montreal fighter, Adonis Stevenson, who will defend it Dec. 19 in Quebec City against Russian Dmitry Sukhotsky. Bolonti was originally set to fight former IBF super-middleweight champion Lucian Bute, but the Romanian-Canadian pulled out two weeks ago with a back injury suffered in sparring.Pascal was supposed to face Don (Da Bomb) George, but the American was dropped when promoter InterBox arranged for Pascal to fight Bolonti.The Pascal-Bolonti fiasco ended up as the second controversial card in recent years in Montreal, after a 2008 fight in which Butes title was said to have been saved when he received a long count from the referee at the end of a clash with Librado Andrade.In the co-feature, light heavyweight Schiller Hyppolite (14-1) knocked down 19-year-old Hungarian Norbert Nemesapati (15-1) in the third round and stopped him at 1:26 of the 11th to win an ill-defined title called the WBC International Silver belt.The 28-year-old Hyppolite dominated from the start, but it took a stiff uppercut followed by a flurry of punches in the 11th to end the scheduled 12-round bout.There were no surprises on the undercard.Pascal started his own promotion company and one of his first deals was to co-promote American super-featherweight Joel Diaz (18-0), who floored Mexican journeyman Pedro Navarrete (28-20-3) with a body shot at the end of the fourth round.Welterweight Junior Ulysse (5-0) was in his first eight-round bout. He won all eight for a unanimous decision, but couldnt knock down Lukasz Janik (12-8-1) of Poland.Same for light welterweight David Theroux (5-0) of Sorel, Que., who won all six rounds but couldnt put away another Pole, Maurycy Gojko (22-45-3).Light middleweight Steven Butler of Montreal handed French left-hander Lyes Chiabi his first career stoppage with a TKO 1:12 into the fifth round of a free-swinging eight-rounder.Heavyweight Bogdan Dinu (12-0), a Romanian fighting out of Montreal, had Frenchman Mickael Vieira (14-5) on the canvas twice en route to a knockout at 2:49 of the first round of their eight-rounder. Haloti Ngata Jersey ... maybe even more than that. Maybe all season I have to take a few blows. Josh Sweat Jersey . -- Chicago manager Darold Butler has a message for the Windy City. http://www.theeaglesfootballauthentic.com/eagles-avonte-maddox-black-jersey/ . Cruz set the tone with a two-run homer in the first inning, and Baltimore scored eight times in the eighth to pull away for a 12-3 victory in Game 1. The major league leader with 40 homers during the regular season, Cruz added an RBI single to his early blast off Max Scherzer.LOS ANGELES -- After Clayton Kershaw completed a spectacular month on the mound with yet another dominant victory, he struggled to muster much excitement about his performance or even the Los Angeles Dodgers leap to the top of the standings. Kershaw knows its only June. But what a month its been for the Dodgers and their incredible left-hander. Kershaw struck out 13 during seven innings of five-hit ball, and Andre Ethier hit a three-run homer in the Dodgers 6-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. Kershaw (9-2) extended his career-best scoreless streak to 28 innings in his first home start since throwing his first no-hitter June 18 against Colorado. He went 6-0 with an 0.82 ERA in June, yielding four runs in 44 innings and striking out 61. "More importantly, weve just won every game," Kershaw said. "Were on a good run. In a long season, well go on a bunch of runs. Weve just got to make sure the lowest points arent as low." The Dodgers have had nothing but high points lately: With 12 wins in 16 games, Los Angeles (47-37) has pulled virtually even with the slumping Giants (46-36) atop the NL West. The Dodgers were 9 1/2 games behind San Francisco on June 8, but erased the entire deficit in three weeks. "When we were struggling early, I think everyone knew in the back of their minds that we could turn it around," Kershaw said. "Coming back and tying up the Giants in a month is not something we expected, just like we didnt expect to go 42-8 last year, but we have that ability." Kershaws bid for back-to-back home no-hitters lasted exactly two pitches before Matt Carpenter lined a single to left. Although he walked two and retired the side in order just once, Kershaw never allowed a runner to reach third base while getting at least one strikeout in each inning. Kershaw still finished strong by striking pinch-hitter Jon Jay and Carpenter to end the seventh, earning a loud standing ovation from the Dodger Stadium crowd. Hes been the best pitcher in the world (lately)," said Matt Kemp, who drove in the Dodgers first run. "You get a day off from your legs sometimes when hes pitching, because you dont have to run too much (in the field)." The Dodgers took three of four from St. Louis in a rematch of last seasons NL championship series. Ethier capped Los Angeles four-run fifth inning with a shot to right off Shelby Miller (7--7) for his first homer since May 27. Markus Wheaton Eagles Jersey. Carpenter had three hits for the Cardinals, who were shut out twice in the four-game series. "We had a couple of guys on with leadoff hits, and the next thing you know, theyre still standing on the bag they started on," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. "A couple of times we had guys in scoring position, but (Kershaw) just wasnt giving us much. Hes locked in." Indeed, St. Louis had little chance on another vintage day for Kershaw, who hasnt allowed a run since June 13. His 28-inning scoreless streak is the fifth-longest in franchise history, trailing only a whos-who of Dodgers luminaries: Orel Hershiser, Don Drysdale, Don Sutton and Sandy Koufaxe. Kershaw has the longest streak since Hershisers record 59-inning run in 1988. "Its tough," Miller said of his pitching matchup. "Knowing what hes capable of and doing what hes doing, you know youve got to do the same thing. Its just frustrating when you give up runs and give up those big innings. You give them a lot of momentum." Miller gave up seven hits and six runs in five innings for St. Louis, which is among the few teams with a history of success against Kershaw. The two-time Cy Young winner entered the game just 4-5 with a 3.75 ERA against the Cardinals. Adrian Gonzalez got the Dodgers first hit in the fourth inning by bunting into the wide-open space near third base created by the Cardinals severe defensive shift. After Kemp drove in Yasiel Puig, Gonzalez scored on Juan Uribes sacrifice fly. Puig hustled for a two-out double in the fifth, and Gonzalez drove him in. After Kemp doubled, Ethier connected for just his fourth homer of the season, setting off a dance party in the Dodgers dugout when he returned. NOTES: Dodgers starters have walked two or fewer batters in 33 straight games, the longest NL streak in a century. ... Uribe committed an error in the ninth, ending the Dodgers streak at nine errorless games, their longest in a decade. ... Dodgers SS Hanley Ramirez sat out with tightness in his left calf, one day after returning to the lineup from a four-game absence with a sore right shoulder. Manager Don Mattingly said Ramirez might be headed to the disabled list. ... The Cardinals recalled RHP Jorge Rondon from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday, and he made his major league debut Sunday, pitching a hitless seventh inning.
