INGLEWOOD, Calif.
ospina-football-jersey/">David Ospina Jersey . --
Juan Manuel Marquez fought 12 times at the Forum in the
early days of his record-setting career, and the Mexican
champion fondly remembers almost every round. Even as an
unknown featherweight prospect, Marquez loved the
crackling atmosphere of the 1990s fight cards at the
once-Fabulous Forum, where Lakers owner Jerry Buss
indulged his passion for boxing by putting on hundreds of
shows. Hollywood glitterati and hard-core fight fans
mingled in Buss famed arena, which fell into decline
after the Lakers and the NHLs Kings moved downtown to
Staples Center in 1999. The Forum still holds a beloved
place in the minds of California sports fans -- and after
13 years of inactivity, the building is back in the
boxing business. Marquez (55-7-1, 40 KOs) gets the
privilege of re-christening a building where he has never
lost. "I feel very happy, because I get to fight in a
great place," said Marquez, who made his Forum debut in
1995. "It is a beautiful, historical place." Marquez is
hoping to revive the excitement when he takes on Mike
Alvarado (34-2, 23 KOs) on Saturday night at the Forum,
which has been rehabilitated by The Madison Square Garden
Co. with everything from a fresh coat of red exterior
paint to a thoroughly refurbished interior. Marquezs
welterweight showdown with the hard-punching Alvarado
live on HBO is the first fight card since 2001 at the
Forum, where dozens of Mexican and American boxers got
their first big fights. Its also the place where Top
Ranks Bob Arum promoted Muhammad Alis second fight with
Ken Norton in 1973, back when Jack Kent Cooke owned the
building. "I really missed it when they closed the Forum
as an entertainment and sports venue," Arum said. "They
used it as a church for a while, and nothing pleases me
more than that it is back as a sports venue and hosting a
boxing event." Arum put together a compelling main event
for the Forums return. Although both fighters are coming
off a loss, Marquez and Alvarado are among two of the
worlds most entertaining fighters at their weights, with
Alvarados boldness and brawling instincts contrasting
nicely with Marquezs skill and counterpunching. Marquez
has won world championships in four weight classes, and a
victory over Alvarado would set him up for a shot at a
fifth title at 147 pounds. The winner of this bout is
likely to fight Manny Pacquiao in the fall, which means
Marquez would get a fifth bout with the Filipino
congressman after winning their fourth meeting by
spectacular knockout. "I concentrate only on this fight,"
Marquez said. "Maybe in the future Ill think about that
fight, but right now, the most important fight of my
career is against Alvarado, because he is a strong
fighter and a tough fighter." Alvarado is eager to bounce
back from a difficult loss to Ruslan Provodnikov, who
stopped Alvarado and took his 140-pound title last fall.
While Alvarado would love the career-changing opportunity
of a fight with Pacquiao, hes grateful for the chance to
fight Marquez, who ranks right alongside Pacquiao among
their generations best boxers. "Im here to put on a
better show and perform at a higher level," Alvarado
said. "This is where I belong, and Im going to show that
this weekend." Although the main event is compelling, the
return of boxing to the Forum will evoke fond memories
for veterans of the fight game. Arum is hoping the card
creates new excitement in Inglewood for future visits in
an area already featuring several excellent boxing
venues, including the outdoor StubHub Center in Carson.
"I see that a lot of the fighters (for this weekend) are
staying at the Marriott at the airport," Arum said. "When
we did the Ali-Norton II fight, that was the fight
headquarters as well. That was what, 41 years ago? Oh my,
I was a thin, young handsome guy. Now Im an old, fat guy.
It was a great night, a good fight. Norton gave Ali
trouble. The fight at the Forum was very close, and Ali
pulled it out."

Angeles Kings are on top of their formidable defensive
game, they revel in the silence they can create in a
frustrated road arena.NEW YORK, N.Y. - Michael Sam has
been selected the winner of the Arthur Ashe Courage
Award. The Missouri defensive end, who likely will be
drafted by an NFL team this weekend, will receive the
award given to individuals who transcend sports at The
2014 ESPYs on July 16. Sam, the SEC Defensive Player of
the Year, has announced that he is gay, making him set to
become the first openly gay player in the NFL. ESPN is
honouring Sam for "his courage and honesty that resonates
beyond sports." "Im very honoured to be presented with
the Arthur Ashe award," he said. "It is about courage.
"You know I dont think there is anything courageous I
did. I look forward to when we can live life in a world
when gays dont have to come out in public." Sam said he
has received support from athletes in all sports, "from
football to basketball to softball to soccer, everyone."
"I am thrilled to be living in a time when you can be
accepted for how you live." Sam joins a prestigious list
of winners ranging from Jim Valvano, the first recipient
in 1995, to Muhammad Ali, Billie Jean King, Cathy
Freeman, Nellson Mandela and Pat Summitt.

award, of course, is named for Ashe, the inspirational
tennis star who died in 1993 after contracting AIDS from
a blood transfusion. After learning he had the disease,
Ashe campaigned to raise awareness about AIDS. "Arthur
always believed in and practiced leading by example,"
said Ashes widow, Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe. "When Michael
Sam announced that he is gay, he courageously stepped
forward to engage an issue that still remains a pervasive
problem in many professional sports. Michael has
displayed true leadership both on and off the field." Sam
is one of eight children from Hitchcock, Texas. Two of
his siblings have died and one disappeared and has not
been found. Maura Mandt, executive producer of the ESPYs,
calls Sam a "humble guy who isnt looking for any
accolades." "In deciding to give Michael this honour,
while his courageous act of coming out is a part of it,
the story is about the life he led growing up," Mandt
added. "A man who has consistently lived his life with
integrity, is never afraid of living this truth."
