MONTREAL - Boxing legend Roy Jones Jr.
Quincy Wilson Colts Jersey . says hes to
blame for Jean Pascals big mouth.Jones said Wednesday that Pascal is part of a
generation of fighters who copied his style in and out of the ring, including
the pre-fight trash talk.I understand that in Quebec, you like silence — people
that come off a little bit lower key than how Mr. Pascal comes off, Jones said.
Thats partly my fault because a lot of guys grew up watching me.I didnt have
good sense, so I said everything and did everything. But I always aimed for the
sky.The 44-year-old Jones will pull double duty on Saturday night when Pascal
(28-2-1) takes on Lucian Bute (31-1) in a light heavyweight grudge match between
former world champions from Montreal.He will work as colour commentator for the
HBO broadcast of the co-feature pitting Cuban heavyweight Mike Perez (20-0)
against Carlos Takam (28-1) of France, then work in Pascals corner for the main
event.A full house of more than 20,000 is expected at the Bell Centre for what
it billed as one of the biggest boxing events in Canadian history. The fighters
will reportedly earn $2 million each.It pits former WBC light heavyweight champ
Pascals speed and athleticism against the heady technique of the southpaw Bute,
the former IBF super-middleweight champion.It will also establish who is best
between two local fighters and two local boxing promotion companies — Pascals
Groupe Yvon Michel and Butes InterBox.The Romanian-born Bute is a quiet guy, not
given to trash talk, but his recent assertion that he will shut Pascals mouth
was all the fodder the decidedly vocal Pascal needed.At a press conference on
the covered Bell Centre ice, Pascal challenged Bute to stand up and say that to
his face. He didnt, and Pascal scoffed.If someone said the same thing to me, Id
come and say yes, Im going to shut you up, said Pascal. When you talk, you have
to face the music.Im always ready to face the music. Im going to bring Lucian
Bute to The Hood on Saturday night.Bute shrugged at Pascals taunts.I worked very
hard, I feel good, strong and confident, he said of the bout. I know what I have
to do.Many fans find Pascals flashy style and boastful talk distasteful, but it
was music to Jones ears.The Pensacola, Fla., native who dominated boxing and won
world titles in four weight classes through the 1990s and 2000s says trash talk
is good. He says it will make for a better fight, and make Pascal a better
fighter.Theres always a danger — theres another guy on the other side that you
might (make angry) — but thats a chance you have to be willing to take because
we want to give people more than what they pay for, said Jones.We want to bring
some attitude to this match and to do that we have to put ourselves under
extreme pressure. If we dont talk, when we come (to the ring), we wont have
anything to back up. Jean puts pressure on himself by talking, so he has to
perform. You guys should embrace it.Pascal, his trainer Marc Ramsay and the rest
of his entourage had Jones at his high altitude training camp at the Big Bear
resort in California. It was a thrill for Pascal, who idolized Jones as a
youngster.Its inspirational to him because having your idol in your corner means
you dont want to let your idol down, said Jones.It was Pascal who approached
Jones. That may be a sign that Pascal has finally understood he needs world
class help with his fight preparation.The 31-year-old won the WBC belt in 2009
but was brought down to earth in a pair of bouts with veteran Bernard Hopkins,
who dodged Pascals haymakers, let him blow himself out in the early rounds, and
then took over at the end.Pascal escaped with a draw in their first meeting in
2010, but lost a clear decision to the then 46-year-old Hopkins a year later.He
approached me, said Jones. He said he had to fight a southpaw and he always
liked how I fought southpaws. He has no disrespect for Bute. If he did, he
wouldnt have called me.When he turned pro after the 2004 Olympics Pascal would
mimic Jones style in the ring, including keeping his hands at his waist and
pot-shotting opponents. He has become a better defensive fighter since then, but
still likes to throw bombs.Last week I was in Big Bear and I was saying wow, I
was watching this guy when I was 14 on TV and now hes next to me and hes helping
me for my next fight, said Pascal. This is incredible.Its a dream come true. Id
watch him and I was trying to imitate him, but now I know why he was doing it
and when to do it, so this is a big difference to me.And he doesnt want to let
Jones down.I dont want to look like a fool in front of my idol, so whatever
happens, Ill try to dig down and win this fight.
Quincy Wilson Youth Jersey . James Harden
wasnt worried and told his coach as much. "He was fired up but I told him: Its
OK. Were going to be all right," Harden said. And they were. Houston scored 17
straight points after that timeout, led by 10 from Harden, to take the lead and
roll to an easy 129-106 win.

-- Notre Dame got off to a strong start to the new season and then received more
good news after the game. The No. 14 Fighting Irish scored on their first two
possessions, each of them three-play drives, with Tommy Rees connecting with
DaVaris Daniels on a pair of 32-yard TD passes in a 28-6 victory on Saturday.
The Irish announced after the win that coach Brian Kelly had signed a new
five-year contract. Kelly said he wasnt too worried that the Irish (1-0) couldnt
quite seem to put the Owls (0-1) away, saying he had confidence in his defence.
"I was OK with the dink and dunk that they were going exhibit on offence," he
said. For Notre Dame, the victory was welcome after a turbulent off-season
following an embarrassing 42-14 loss to Alabama in the national championship
game. The victory sets up a big game against Michigan next Saturday night. "Were
going to have to play better in all phases against Michigan next week, but were
going to enjoy this victory today," Kelly said. The victory was the 200th career
win for Kelly, improving his overall record to 200-68-2 and 29-11 at Notre Dame.
The Owls, picked to finish ninth in the 10-team American Athletic Conference,
fell to 2-76 against ranked opponents. "We left a lot of points on the field,"
Temple quarterback Connor Reilly said. Although Temple was a heavy underdog, it
was still a bit of a disappointing start for first-year Temple coach Matt Rhule,
because of missed chances. "They proved that they can play with that team,"
Rhule said. Rees, who regained the starting quarterback job when Everett Golson
was suspended from school for the fall semester, was 16 of 23 for 346 yards, his
fourth career 300-yard passing day. "I saw some really good things, and some
things that were going to have to get better at," Kelly said. One of the
questions about Rees was whether he could beat opponents deep in the passing
game. But Rees threw a pair of long TD passes to Daniels, who didnt have a
touchdown catch last season. Daniels beat Temple cornerback Anthony Robey on
both TDs. The first drive sstarted with Amir Carlisle breaking a 45-yard run up
the left sideline to the Temple 37.
Malik Hooker Jersey. While the second was set
up by a short pass to TJ Jones, who broke two tackles, for a 51-yard gain. "One
of the questions coming in was: Can we push the ball downfield? I think we
answered a lot of those questions right away with his ability to push the ball
downfield. I think his patience was better and it will continue to get better,"
Kelly said. Rees said he was pleased. "There are some things out there that we
have to fix as an offence, but I was pleased with how the entire offence
played," he said. There were some encouraging signs for Temple. First-time
starter Reilly was solid, completing 23 of 46 passes for 228 yards, which was
more than the Owls had in any game last season. He also ran for 65 yards on 12
carries. Rhule installed a pro spread offence after the Owls had the
fifth-fewest yards passing in the nation, averaging 121 yards a game. But Temple
missed a pair of field goals wide right before finally scoring in the second
quarter to cut the lead to 14-6, with Kenny Harper scoring on a 1-yard run. The
Irish didnt give up a rushing touchdown in going 12-0 in the regular season last
year until the eighth game against Oklahoma. Coopers PAT was blocked by Notre
Dame defensive lineman Jarron Jones. The Irish answered 18 seconds later when
Rees hit Troy Niklas at midfield and he faked his way past two Temple defenders
and raced for a 66-yard touchdown. Temple opened the second half with another
strong drive, advancing to the Notre Dame 6. Reilly threw four straight
incomplete passes as Rhule decided to go for it on fourth-and-6 instead of
trying another field goal. The Irish responded quickly again with a 94-yard
scoring drive, highlighted by a 33-yard pass from Rees to Chris Brown. George
Atkinson scored on a 2-yard run to make it 28-6. For the Irish, it wasnt the
dominant defensive effort many expected against Temple. "Theres things that we
have to correct, but this isnt last years defence, its this years defence,"
safety Matthias Farley said.
