After the triumph of Puerto Rican boxer Miguel Cotto over Mexican Antonio Margarito speculation about who would be the next Puerto Rican rivals among likely emerge and the prospects would also Mexican Julio Cesar Chavez Jr . From August 2010 it began to consider the possibility that Mexicans will face the Puerto Rican but for the time Chavez Jr. barely campaigning at 154 pounds, now those days are past and would be very likely that both fighters will face.
'Julito' as it is called the son of so-called 'great Mexican champion', Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., is currently the WBC middleweight champion so the possibility is open for more than a Mexican, especially when the promoter Top Rank Bob Arum, announced on the morning of Sunday, at a press conference that his plan was to fight Cotto-Chavez. It is known that more than matches are determined by Top Rank's Bob Arum, so if the developer already has decided not to be doubted that soon would be facing the tough Mexican Miguel Cotto fist marking another chapter in the history of Mexican boxing rivalries and Puerto Rico. For many boxing experts to fight 'Julito' against Cotto represent a direct ticket to the Mexican defeat it, although it is well managed by his father, still believe that it is 'very green' to face more experienced fighters 'skill' as the Puerto Rican.
A Mexican more sounds from the crowd and face the possibility of Caguas, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez , who is new at 154 pounds. El Tapatio is a good option for him to fight Cotto the point almost completely rule out the promoter, Oscar de la Hoya, who has a hunted war with Bob Arum, which makes it almost impossible for this meeting in Truly, the lover of boxing hobby, pull out sparks. Cotto would undoubtedly face his executioner, Manny Pacquiao, but still the possibilities being considered Mayweather Jr. and expectations are high but the second option would be U.S. because he is on the Filipino Pacquiao. In fact De La Hoya and Arum, through their respective companies, Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank, are negotiating meeting Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao.
I find that others would be one of the most lucrative, to take place next year, 2012. Another name that sounds, Latino of course, is the Argentine Sergio 'Maravilla' Martinez , who is currently considered the third best fighter in the world pound for pound, unfortunately, the boxer has not been able to take advantage of this position he has held since his spectacular victory last year over Paul Williams. Argentina's rivals have fought against rivals unknown faces in the middle. Finally, two internationally renowned fighters that can be rivals are American Puerto Rican and Mexican-American Andre Berto Victor Ortiz, who will have a lucrative rematch princes of 2012. The second chapter of the fight between them will be for the IBF welterweight title held by Berto. The winner would be in a position to go to Cotto certainly.

Tevez's representative to reach an agreement with Milan
"There is an agreement with the player and have recently sent an email with a proposal to the City, free transfer-purchase (...) Yesterday and today I put some another brick to strengthen a team that I think is already formidable, "said Milan chief executive of the right hand of the club's owner, former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi .

Galliani said that Berlusconi has given its approval to the operation, "proving once again he wants very much to the colors" of Milan, and explained that their idea is that the Argentine, as happened with David Beckham , can go even to the concentration of winter equipment Dubai .
" I hope the City says yes . I chased a threat between Italy and Europe (in the competition for his signature), I can not tell you who ... But this is the first place, "said AC Milan manager.
Sports daily "Corriere dello Sport" claims on its website that the agreement between the agent of Tevez and Milan stands at 3 million salary that the player would receive until the end of the season, which would rise up to 5 million bonus over the next three seasons .
The Milanese club, champions of the "scudetto" Italian, proposes to Manchester City Tevez free loan until June 2012 and then, according to the newspaper, paying for the final tab Argentine player between 15 and 20 million euros .
"Corriere dello Sport" ensures that after the agreement between Galliani and agent of the player, Tevez himself has had a telephone conversation with the CEO of Milan, who has said he is ready to play in the Italian club and that will at once.
The desire to Tevez, former player of Boca Juniors, Corinthians , West Ham and Manchester United, to change the club goes back to last year, when December came to apply in writing directly transfer to Manchester City.

Defeated at the Allianz Arena (2-0), the City needs the win against Bayern, as against Naples, third team in contention for the classification, is irreversibly negative balance. Luckily for those of Mancini , the engine from Bavarian, Bastian Schweinsteiger , still injured , and without it, the German team has lowered its performance, linking two successive defeats in the Bundesliga with Mainz and Borussia Dortmund .
The City is unbeaten in the two competitions at Etihad Stadium-eight wins and a draw against Napoli, and facing the coolest game that Bayern and he did not play this weekend. The German team, which is mathematically first group thrashed Werder Bremen on Saturday (4-1) and returns to lead the Bundesliga. Sheikh Mansour, the billionaire owner of Manchester City, endorsed last week and returned to Roberto Mancini reiterate that the priority this season is the Premier League.
Despite prioritizing the league, the Champions League elimination would be a serious setback for a team that aspires to dominate Europe. Fortunately, the statistics support the team of Silva. In the last ten years, have fallen only three times English teams in the final round of group stage-two the Liverpool , Manchester United one.

Cuban would be willing to let go of three of the key pieces of equipment (Barea, Butler and Chandler) to release its payroll and try the signing of Deron Williams, a dream of Mark Cuban already has said he will not sign the contract extension with the Nets.
"Next year will not be a walk in the park"

He believes it will be difficult to match a season that has signed this year. "It will be difficult to make as few mistakes," he said. "It's hard not to miss especially when you push the envelope," he said. "We've had great success the last two seasons and it would be uncommon to face the season saying we just want to finish in the points. Of course it is clear that we want to defend the title," he added.
He also knows how to evaluate their performance in a year masterful round. "There has been many seasons like the last," he said. "We will work hard to try to improve what we have achieved this year," he said.
And do not believe that 2012 will be something like what happened in this 2011. "Last year we had a competitive car. This year we have a competitive team. We have done things differently and better," he added. "But the competition next year will be higher. There will be a walk in the park. "

Blatter calls for technology to prevent ghost goal
FIFA President Sepp Blatter, said that currently are experimenting with technology to prevent phantom goals, because you should not repeat what happened in South Africa 2010, revealed in an interview published today in the Italian daily "La Gazzetta dello Sport".
The International Board of FIFA will decide in March 2012 whether to adopt a system that allows referees to clarify moves beyond the human eye, said Blatter, who said that a system must be "immediate, reliable and uncomplicated."
"FIFA can not accept a repeat of what has happened in South Africa where a balloon that was 70 inches inside, he was out," Blatter said in reference to the action of Frank Lampard in the match between England against Germany, which led to the elimination of the British.
Faced with the proposal of the president of UEFA, Michel Platini, to incorporate referees to monitor areas, Blatter believes it is "a brilliant idea, but expensive."
"Arbitrators are not Linieres" he said, while wondering how many federations can afford to have five referees, while noting that the technology "is less expensive."
"Either way would have to choose between one of two alternatives because the two together is difficult," said
On the other hand, the FIFA president spoke out against the current calendar, which he said is "unsustainable," adding that in this debate "nobody thinks about the players."
Over the next European Blatter said his favorites are the two finalists of last year, but opted for Spain.
"He's a technical game, fast and attractive. It is wonderful that football is an expression of culture. Each team should play like live your people," said Blatter.
Facing the upcoming derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Blatter admitted: "My love for Real Madrid is known: for white, that's when I played I Visp and because it is among the founders of FIFA."

The services Doctors also do not know where they came from his physical problems. The player tries to explain its lack of continuity in recent years, but it is not hundred percent sure.
Llorente's knee is in suspense Athletic

The changing role of the "players lift '
It is not easy to succeed in a large, even for players who have the conditions necessary to achieve it. Adapting to another culture, language, Mr confidence, one's attitude or just luck, can truncate the career of a player that the heat of the spotlight recently, in many cases, to undermine their performance after excelled in a modest. Some stay in the attempt, while others decide to seek a favorable outcome to recover the lost credit.
The Spanish Bojan, Gourcuff, Podolski, Hultelaar and Giovinco are some examples of this theory. The French case is very representative Gourcuff. The young midfielder signed for Olympique glamorous curdle AC Milan after three fantastic years at Rennes. Despite a promising start, the Morbihan not work in the famous square and had to seek accommodation in Bordeaux, where he won the league and was one of the most important players of all Bordeaux. Today is one of the stars of Olympique Lyon.
A similar case is what happened to Bojan. The Barça squad did not come true in a modest, although it did in all ranks of FC Barcelona, and even went to flash the first team during the season Rijkaard. With Guardiola dwarfed his role so he packed his bags for Rome, where it seems to be regaining the level of the best evenings at the Camp Nou.
A long list

It took the leap to assimilate large, so that had to sign for Parma to re-key feel. Now also has won the international rating after his appearances for his country. Podolski, meanwhile, looked to Germany as he left a bittersweet at Bayern. The Pole has had to return to Cologne, the club he left to play with the Bavarians, to regain their self-esteem and relevance.
Klaas Huntelaar's situation is even more bizarre. Despite breaking records in the Eredivisie, the striker did not quite convince in his brief experience in Real Madrid and Milan, so they decided to lower their aspirations signed for Schalke Raul. They have returned the hunter license. Did you press? A lack of confidence? Lucky? There are several reasons that can unite these players have to press the down button in the elevator to smile again.
