RIO DE JANEIRO -- His heart in the United States and his fight for Honduras, Teofimo Lopez stood in the Olympic ring feeling like a boxer without a country. Air Max 97 Gold Femme.The 19-year-old fighter was born in New York, raised in Florida, and developed into a prime candidate for the United States in the boxing tournament. With a win in the Olympic trials, Lopez certainly had the credentials to land a spot in USA Boxing.Because of a convoluted series of circumstances, Lopez was squeezed out of a likely role fighting for his home country. Instead, he fought for the homeland of both of his parents and became the entire Olympic boxing team for Honduras.But by the time Lopez lost a unanimous decision Sunday to Sofiane Oumiha of France, he was ready to move on and forget about Rio.Lopez felt abandoned by the Amateur International Boxing Association and unwanted by Honduras.They didnt want me to win, Lopez said. They came here to see me lose. Im not Honduran. They called me `gringo. Its like a slap in my face.Lopez declined to identify the people he said had turned against him before the fight, although it was impossible to find fans in the stands rooting against the outspoken teen. About a dozen Hondurans went wild for Lopez and waved their countrys flag when he walked to the ring. Lopez gestured in appreciation toward the cluster of fans when he was introduced by the ring announcer.Lopez was sharp in the ring but lost 30-27 on all three cards to a fighter with a much deeper pedigree.Lopezs father and trainer, Junior, was furious at the decision and the way his son swerved from the game plan to try for an early knockout. Junior Lopez stopped to scold his son during a news conference afterward.If you would have done what I told you, you would have stopped that dude, Junior said.All right. But unanimous, thats crazy, Lopez said.You won the fight! But theyre not going to give it to you. I told you from the beginning, his father said, hands gesturing toward his sons face.Dad, its over, man.Lopez never wanted to fight for another country, only eventually being persuaded to fight for Honduras once he realized it was his only opportunity to make the Olympics.Qualifying for the Olympics has long been a complicated system, and the winner of a little-known tournament was actually used for the first time to select team members.Lopez won the lightweight division at the U.S. Olympic trials in December, and his feat was still not enough to make the team.Carlos Baldera had qualified for the one open lightweight slot based on his finish in the World Series of Boxing, a little-seen series not really known outside of amateur circles. Lopez was not old enough to compete in the series.Lopez, a 2015 Golden Gloves champion, was able to use his parents birth country as another way to fight.He had the Olympics, just not his country.If Lopez had fought for Team USA, Junior Lopez said the scorecard would have read in his sons favor.Of course, he would have freakin won, Junior said.An IABA official nearby shook his head and flatly shot down the idea that Lopezs fighting nationality would have played a role in the result.Lopez still performed a backflip in the ring once he lost the decision.I always said, `medalha de ouro, Portuguese for gold medal, because when you attract positivity it comes to you.But that didnt come out today, he said.---Online:AP Summer Games website: http://summergames.ap.org/ Speedcross 3 Salomon Pas Cher . Thousands of fans at Mosaic Stadium will be cozying up to each other in an effort to stay warm in chilly temperatures and block the Prairie wind that locals say can knock your socks off. Salomon Fellraiser Femme . -- Stanfords Kevin Danser knelt on one knee and hardly moved on the sideline as Michigan State celebrated its Rose Bowl victory and his Cardinal teammates made their way to the locker room. http://www.salomonbasket.fr/ . Argentina winger Ezequiel Lavezzi and France midfielder Blaise Matuidi scored, with star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic setting up both despite having a poor game by his high standards. Forward Eduardo gave Ajaccio the lead in the sixth minute after being set up by right winger Benjamin Andre, and the Corsican side looked comfortable in the first half, with the lively Johan Cavalli causing problems with his probing runs from midfield. Its not often Maryland can say it has something in common with Ohio State, Michigan and Nebraska.Like those standard bearers of college football, the Terrapins are still unbeaten this season. Since Marylands 7-0 start in 2001, the Terrapins have taken a perfect record into their fifth game only in 2013 and this season.No one is pulling harder for first-year coach DJ Durkin -- at least until their teams meet Nov. 5 -- than Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh. Durkin was a Harbaugh assistant for three years at Stanford and was his defensive coordinator with the Wolverines last season.Harbaugh said Tuesday hes been following the Terps progress and has watched three of their games. He said hes spoken with Durkin a couple times since the season started, usually on matters only coaches would find interesting.Hes busy doing his duties and Im busy doing mine, Harbaugh said, but were watching with a lot of pride what hes doing and very proud of the job hes doing.Maryland, which puts its 4-0 record on the line this week at Penn State, already has one more win than it had all of last season. Two more wins will make the Terps bowl eligible. Their 173 points are a program record for four games, and their 50-7 win over Purdue last week was their most lopsided conference victory since 2010.The biggest difference from 2015 to 2016?The Terps have turned over the ball twice. Last year at this point they had 14 turnovers, including 12 interceptions.Durkin said he addressed the turnover issue the first day he met with the team.Its just been a process of talking about it, teaching our players just how the game works and how a turnover can really kill you -- how a punt is not a bad play, he said. Taking a sack or throwing it away isnt all bad if you go punt and play good defense. You may have been won yourself some field position.Marylands schedule gets increasingly tougher, with November featuring road games against Michigan and Nebraska and a home game against Ohio State.Other notes from the Big Ten coaches teleconference:HEALING HUSKERSNebraaska coach Mike Riley, whose team has a bye this week, said receiver Jordan Westerkamp (back) and tight end Cethan Carter (elbow) probably will miss the Oct. Balenciaga Trainer Speed Prix. 15 game at Indiana.Running back Devine Ozigbo probably wont practice this week as he recovers from an ankle sprain. Riley said hes hopeful offensive lineman Tanner Farmer and receiver Alonzo Moore will be back from injuries that kept them out of the Illinois game.BARRETTS FAST ASCENTWith four touchdown passes against Rutgers, Ohio States J.T. Barrett became the schools all-time leader with 59. Barrett also has 84 TDs responsible for and needs five more passing or rushing touchdowns to break Braxton Millers record of 88.Barrett, a junior, has played in 27 games and started 21.This is only his second year, maybe 2 + years, of full-time starting, Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer said. He would be the first to tell you hes been very fortunate to be around very good players and a very offensive line that protects him and guys that make plays. When you think of the history of this great university, and he could be No. 1, thats incredible.LAGOWS COMPOSUREIndiana coach Kevin Wilson was heartened by quarterback Richard Lagows bounce-back from his five-interception game against Wake Forest. The Big Tens passing yardage leader was picked off once against Michigan State but led touchdown drives on the Hoosiers last three series in regulation in a 24-21 overtime victory.He lost his composure in the fourth quarter (against Wake Forest), and that hurt us with his body language. You cant be a leader if you cant lead yourself, Wilson said. He got into a competitive game and got in a similar situation and got it corrected against a very challenging team in Michigan State. What I saw last week was a guy who got into position where he could have lost his composure and he kept it.--Online:AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org Cheap NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaCheap Jerseys From ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys AuthenticWholesale Jerseys ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaNFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
