Two Golden Boy Promotions contenders, junior welterweight Lucas Matthysse and middleweight Tureano Johnson, are on the mend and aiming for ring returns in 2017.Matthysse (37-4, 34 KOs), of Argentina, one of boxings fiercest punchers, has not fought since suffering a damaged eye and broken orbital bone in a 10th-round knockout loss to Viktor Postol in a fight for a vacant junior welterweight world title in October 2015.Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez told ESPN that Matthysse, 34, who considered retirement after the injury, would likely return to the ring in March or April.Hes started training again, Gomez said. Hes been very, very careful with things because of the injury. He wants to make sure he is 100 percent, and when Matthysse trains he is always nonstop. He always likes to stay active but he just needs to take it slowly. So he is getting back into it but hasnt started to spar yet.What (Argentine co-promoter) Mario Arano is telling me is that come March, Lucas will be ready to fight, so were going to go ahead and start working on that for him. But when he comes back, Matthysse wants to come back at welterweight. He wants to fight at 147 pounds, so he is moving up (from 140 pounds).Johnson (19-1, 13 KOs), of the Bahamas, has not boxed since October 2015, when he easily outpointed Eamonn OKane in a world title elimination fight on the undercard of the Gennady Golovkin-David Lemieux middleweight unification bout. The victory against OKane made Johnson a mandatory challenger for Golovkin, who knocked out Lemieux.Johnson, 31,?was the likely candidate to face GGG last April 23 but had to pass on the fight because he injured his right rotator cuff during the fight with OKane. Johnson, who has won five fights in a row since a 10th-round knockout loss to former world title challenger Curtis Stevens in 2014, eventually had surgery to repair the injury and has been out since.Gomez said that Johnson should be ready to fight in January.Hes been rehabbing the shoulder and he has started training lightly, and he feels good, Gomez said. Hes able to use his arm. I dont think hes sparred yet, but hes been hitting the heavy bag and feeling good. Were looking for a January or February comeback for him.Well get him a tuneup fight to knock off the rust and then well look for that mandatory fight. Hes still in position. So well get him a comeback fight and after that, depending on how he looks and feels, well look to evaluate his performance and see if hes ready to take on that mandatory position for GGG.

Cheap Jordans From China . PETERSBURG, Fla. CLEVELAND -- Addison Russell lofted a fly ball in the first inning, and right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall converged with center fielder Tyler Naquin.Probably an easy play in a half-filled ballpark on a hot summer night, the 284-foot fly turned into a disorienting disaster for the Cleveland Indians.With a loud, raucous crowd packing Progressive Field hoping to witness Clevelands first World Series title since 1948, the ball hung in the air for 5 seconds. Chisenhall pulled up and looked at the onrushing Naquin, who was a few feet behind him.A 25-year-old rookie who made his debut on opening day, Naquin had no chance by then to make the catch. The ball bounced past him for a two-run double as Anthony Rizzo scored and then Ben Zobrist, who bowled over catcher Roberto Perez. The Chicago Cubs built a three-run lead before Jake Arrieta threw his first pitch.It counts as a hit, which I was totally stoked, Russell said. I thought that was going to be kind of a routine play.Far from it.Cleveland never recovered, and Chicago coasted to a 9-3 win Tuesday night that forced the Series to a deciding Game 7.Kind of one of those deals you wish you could take back, Naquin said. Me being the center fielder, I need to take charge on that.Even after the game, the sequence of what happened was unclear. Naquin said both players called for the ball. Chisenhall said neither did.Baseball practice says corner outfielders defer to their teammate in center.Its Naquins ball. He was playing on that side, and hes the center fielder, Indians manager Terry Francona said. I think at the end there, as Lonnie was kind of pulling off, Naquin was yelling, `Its yours. You got it.Chisenhall, a 28-year-old converted third baseman in his sixth big league season, appeared to follow protocol.Still, he shouldered the blame.I should have caught that ball. I made the aggressive move on it, Chisenhall said. The balls moving towards me, and somebodys got to catch it. It should have been me. ... He said he saw me moving towards the ball, and I should have continued my route, and I kind of felt him coming, so I pulled up. But I should have kept going.By the third inning, Chisenhall did take charge and cut in front of Naquin to catch Kris Bryants fly with a runner on as the center fielder slid behind him.ddddddddddddYouve got to catch the ball. You cant let another one drop, so you risk making a collision, Chisenhall said. We talked about it. We were both avid about not letting the ball hit the grass.Chisenhall and Naquin had a long discussion during a pitching change later in the inning, joined by left fielder Coco Crisp. Naquin said he suggested they use their arms as flippers to signal each other.Three pitches later, Russell hit a grand slam off Dan Otero for a seven-run lead.Naquin, the 15th overall pick in the 2012 amateur draft, hit .296 with 14 home runs and 43 RBI this year but is 4 for 25 (.160) with two RBI in the postseason, including a strikeout that left the bases loaded in the fourth.In the crucible of the World Series, defense can go awry.Last year, Kansas Citys Alcides Escobar drove the first pitch of the Series to the left-center warning track, where Mets center fielder Yoenis Cespedes and left fielder Michael Conforto came together. The ball ricocheted off one of Cespedes feet and rolled along the fence as Escobar sped around the bases with the second inside-the-park homer to lead off a Series game.A year earlier, San Francisco center fielder Gregor Blanco allowed Alex Gordons two-out single to bounce past him for an error that put the potential tying run at third base with two outs in the ninth inning -- some questioned whether Royals third base coach Mike Jirschele should have waved Gordon home. Madison Bumgarner then retired Salvador Perez on a foulout, saving the Giants 3-2 win in Game 7.And with Game 7 in 1968 scoreless in the seventh inning, Detroits Jim Northrup hit a two-on, two-out drive that was misjudged by St. Louis center fielder Curt Flood and fell behind him for a two-run triple. The Tigers held on for a 4-1 victory behind Mickey Lolich, the last pitcher to win three starts in a single Series.Cleveland ace Corey Kluber will try to match that feat in Game 7 on Wednesday night.Weve just got to win the game tomorrow, Chisenhall said. I think we leave winners, people will remember that. ' ' '
