Light heavyweight contender Artur Beterbiev, who was idle from June 2015 until this past June because of a right shoulder injury and subsequent surgery, is set for the second bout of his comeback.Beterbiev, a native of Russia who fights out of his adopted hometown of Montreal, will face Paraguays Isidro Ranoni Prieto in a scheduled 12-round bout on Dec. 23 at the Casino du Lac Leamy in Gatineau, Quebec, promoter Yvon Michel announced Thursday.Despite the claims of some promoters and light heavyweight challengers, its a fact that Artur Beterbiev is the most dangerous and biggest threat to all of the world light heavyweight champions, Michel said. All contenders for titles change their minds when it comes to getting in the same ring with him. Isidro Prieto is a fierce fighter who accepted the challenge, also believing he has the style to repel even the most courageous boxer. He is determined to make a name for himself Dec. 23rd. We certainly admire his determination.Beterbiev (10-0, 10 KOs), 31, a two-time Russian Olympian, made his return seven months after the surgery, knocking out Argentinas Ezequiel Maderna in the fourth round on June 4.Prieto (26-1-3, 22 KOs), 30, has won two fights in a row. In his only loss, he dropped a unanimous decision to Eleider Alvarez, a Beterbiev promotional stablemate, in August 2015 in Montreal.Prieto is by far the best fighter available to fight Artur, trainer Marc Ramsay said. He is very aggressive, and his style ensures a fight filled with action.Said Beterbiev: Im really happy with the turn of events. During his time in Montreal, Prieto has shown that he is a true warrior, and thats the kind of opponent I want to face.Before Beterbiev injured his shoulder, he was supposed to fight in a world title elimination bout with a shot at unified titlist Sergey Kovalev at stake. He defeated Kovalev in the amateur ranks. With the injury behind him, Beterbiev is likely to land an eliminator if he beats Prieto.He has all the qualities required to become world champion, said Andre Kulesza, Beterbievs strength and conditioning coach. He is healthy and always positive. He is highest level of athlete I have ever had the chance to work with in Montreal. Artur is naturally strong, agile and flexible. He will go up very quickly and destroy his rivals. Expect lots of KOs.Beterbiev was put on the fast track by Michel as soon as he turned pro. He has already scored notable knockout wins against former world titleholders Tavoris Cloud and Gabriel Campillo.Michel also announced that the kickoff of the new season of boxing cards at the Casino de Montreal will begin Oct. 20. The show will be headlined by a 10-round welterweight bout between 2012 Canadian Olympian Custio Clayton (9-0, 7 KOs) and Mexicos Ramses Agaton (17-4-3, 9 KOs).I work hard every week, and I always feel better when I work out, Clayton said. I had a solid training camp in Montreal and a few days in Ottawa with my trainer. Ill be ready. Air Force One Schuhe Günstig .

Tony Allen finished with 16 points, eight rebounds and three steals as Memphis won for the seventh time in eight games. The only loss during that stretch was a 103-86 defeat Tuesday night in Cleveland.With the teams top three scorers not on the one-day trip, the Cavaliers managed only nine 3-pointers -- matching their fewest in a game this season.James Jones made three shots from outside the arc and led Cleveland with 15 points. Cavaliers rookie Kay Felder scored a season-high 14 in 23 minutes.I know Coach (Tyronn) Lue said plenty of times -- and we have said the same -- at the end of the day, we are here to win, Jones said. And we are going to do everything we need to put ourselves in a position to be as good as we can be when it really matters in the postseason.Memphis took advantage of the missing Cavaliers and carried a 47-36 advantage into the break.The Cavaliers opened the second half with nine straight points, but the Grizzlies continued to connect from beyond the arc. By the end of the third quarter, Memphis was 11 of 17 from long distance and had a 74-53 lead.Even though there were times Cleveland chipped into the margin in the fourth, it was never enough for Memphis coach David Fizdale to put Gasol back in the game.TIP-INSCavaliers: Clevelands 16 points were the teams fewest in a first quarter this season. ...

That was the only time the Cavaliers were within single digits since about 3 minutes left in the third quarter.NO REST FOR THOMPSONWhile the Big Three sat out for the Cavaliers, center Tristan Thompson played in his 394th consecutive game -- the longest current streak in the NBA. I know the streak is important, Lue said before the game. Its a great streak to be a part of when youre durable and ready to play every single night.FOCUS ON LeBRONSome fans were disappointed that the Cavaliers left James, Irving and Love at home -- especially because it was Clevelands only trip to Memphis this season. Some paid hundreds of dollars to see James in particular. One youngster held up a sign that read: LeBron. Thanks for ruining my Christmas!Lue understood.You know, guys sit their guys every night, the Cleveland coach said. But when the Cavaliers do it or LeBron does it, its something different. I understand, too, because these people were waiting to see LeBron play.ALWAYS READYLue said he never had to worry about a night off for rest in his career.
