Awful Score In Canelo Alvarez-GGG Fight
Working Out,
The megafight between Canelo Alvarez and Gen- nady Golovkin at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas delivered for the fans on Saturday night. The fight featured two of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world and was very close based on most peoples’ opinions. The fight was scored a draw, but the real takeaway that had people talking was the scorecards. One judge had it as a draw, while another had it as a narrow win for GGG. But then you had Adalaide Byrd, who must have been watching on a different planet.
While Don Trella scored the fight 114-114 (six rounds apiece) and Dave Moretti
Ready To Play
COLIN KAEPERNICK
Free-agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick wants to play football this season, even as NFL teams move into their third week of games without him on a roster.
Asked by Shaun King of the Fair Punishment Project if he still wanted to play, Kaepernick said: "Yes. I've never stopped. I'm ready right now. Working out daily."
King recounted the conver- sation Sunday on Twitter.
Kaepernick had a work- out in May with the Seattle Seahawks, and the Baltimore Ravens discussed signing him this summer when starter Joe Flacco reported to training camp with a back injury. But there have been no confirmed contract offers.
Dwyane Wade Waiting For Bulls To Come To Him With Buyout Offer
DWYANE WADE
Dwyane Wade is ready to leave the Chicago Bulls, but he reportedly isn’t going to rock the boat to make it happen.
Wade has made it clear that he wants a buyout from the Bulls, but has not gone directly to the front office with his re- quest. Instead, he intends to wait for the front office to come to him with what he considers to be “suitable” compensation.
Wade is willing to be a good teammate and quietly re- port to camp, and is set to make $24 million this season for doing so. He is, however, clearly uninterested in being part of a long-term rebuilding project, which is exactly what the Bulls have become.
A buyout for Wade feels like a matter of when, not if at this point, and he has a couple possible destinations in mind when it does happen.
CANELO ALVAREZ AND GENNADY GOLOVKIN
had it 115-113 (seven rounds to five for Golovkin), Byrd had Canelo winning 118-110. That means she scored it 10 rounds to two. She gave Alvarez the last five rounds.
After the fight, even HBO was critical of Byrd, with an- nouncer Jim Lampley call- ing her an “outlier.”
Ice Cube Countersues Company For
USF's Charlie Strong:
Rapper Ice Cube is hit- ting back at a lawsuit claiming he stole the concept for his new BIG3 basketball league.
Ice Cube has filed a defamation suit against the Championship Basketball League, alleging the founder is straight up lying in his $250 million lawsuit against The BIG3.
According to Cube's defamation lawsuit, the rap- per denies having any con- tract with the Championship Basketball League, nor did he prevent any players from par- ticipating in the rival league, and some players even did so.
Cube and his company la- beled "the head of the Cham- pions League is a serial con-artist, fraudster, and

Ponzi-schemer who blames his failures on others."
Last month, the owners of the Championship Basketball League filed a lawsuit against Ice Cube and The BIG3, claiming Cube stole the con- cept for the three on three basketball concert, in addi- tion to swiping all of the major talents.

Defamation Over Basketball Team
'Special' For Irma Victims
South Florida rolled up nearly 700 yards on Coach Lovie Smith and Illinois in a 47-23 win, and afterward, coach Charlie Strong said he and his players were deter- mined to make Friday night special for all those impacted by Hurricane Irma.
Strong praised his team's resiliency after it played the game with just three practices during the week, but he also made sure to note there were more than 3,000 high school players and coaches and 2,100 first responders who attended the game for free, at his urg- ing.
About the only downer Fri- day night was the cancellation of a pregame honor for first re- sponders. A group of 20, largely from the Tampa Police Department, was set to run onto the field with the football

team, but it didn't happen be- cause of a weather delay.
USF was one of seven FBS programs in the state of Florida that had a game either canceled or postponed because of the devastating storm. After its scheduled game last week against UConn was postponed, Strong made sure his players either stayed in the university dorms, the on-campus football facility or with family in the area.
