Algieri makes weight for Pacquiao on 2nd try
MACAU -- Chris Algieri needed about 50 minutes to make weight Friday (Saturday in China) for his WBO welterweight title fight with Manny Pacquiao at Cotai Arena.
Algieri, the unbeaten WBO junior welterweight champion, weighed 144.4 when he first stepped on his scale. After stripping naked and removing a large chain, he still weighed 144.2. At that point, he had two hours to make the weight.
Algieri said he successfully made weight Thursday night in the room of a Top Rank employee.
"Maybe something happened when the scale [got] moved here," said Algieri, who has a master's in clinical nutrition.
Pacquiao weighed 143.8 pounds, making the contract limit of 144 easily on the first try.
"I'm disappointed," Pacquiao said after he was asked about Algieri's weight. He also said that Algieri looked dehydrated when they did the staredown.
Algieri ate a breakfast of oatmeal, eggs and coffee before heading to the arena for the weigh-in.
"I'd rather be well fed and feel good than sucked out and drawn," he said.
Algieri trainer Tim Lane said Algieri did not work out to make the weight and simply used the bathroom.
He said he thought there might have been a quarter pound variance on the scale.
"We have two scales upstairs and one of them said he was 143 on the dime and another said he was 143.8," Lane said. "We thought we were where we needed to be. But he had to go to the bathroom and he kind of held onto that. He's fine. ... He just had to go to the bathroom. No exercise. That was it."
When he came back to weigh in, Algieri was 143.6 on the first try. There is no fine for missing on the first attempt.
Justin Fortune, Pacquiao's strength and conditioning coach, laughed at the irony of Algieri, who has a degree in nutrition, being the one who missed weight.
"I don't have a degree but my guy made it with no problem," Fortune said, grinning.
Roach told Yahoo Sports before the weigh-in that Pacquiao weighed 143.1 last night after dinner and said he expected his fighter to come in between 143.4 and 143.8, which is exactly what happened.
That, though, didn't bother Lane.
"Pacquiao's a 126-pounder, dude," Lane said. "Of course. Pacquiao should never be at this weight. The guy walks around at probably 142. He probably ate a hamburger just before the weigh-in just to get the weight up. I'm sure he made it [easily]."

Astonishing Hot BABE Challenges NISSAN GT-R On A DUEL.
“Top Gear” always likes to give answers on important social issues. This time Jeremy Clarkson, the host of the most popular car show in the world, arranged for a unique race at the Top Gear Festival in Sydney. Jeremy wanted to find out who is faster – a woman or a Nissan GT-R. In the role of a woman was the famous Australian hurdler Michelle Jenneke.
Terms of short race came down to the shuttle run. That is Jenneke had to run 50 meters, turn around and come running back to the starting line. The task of Clarkson was that at around 50 meters he had to stop the GT-R, and return driving in reverse. What came of it, see below on the video.
In addition to her achievements, the Australian athlete in the hurdles became known for her ritual – the warm-up before the start, which is a kind of merry dance. It is a pity that it did not help Michelle win Clarkson.

Which is Faster? Nissan GT-R or a Woman? :)

Costa Rica vs. Greece: Final score 1-1 (5-3), 10-man Ticos win on penalties
Despite being reduced to 10 men
for the last third of the game, Costa Rica clinched a win over Greece
to record their best ever performance in a World Cup.
The Ticos have been on a
fairytale run ever since topping Group D -- a so-called "Group of
Death" -- and will now be contesting a World Cup quarterfinal thanks to
Bryan Ruiz, who scored the decisive goal. Oscar Duarte saw himself sent
off shortly afterwards, and Greece eventually found a breakthrough in
the first minute of injury time when Sokratis Papastathopoulos scored to
force extra time. But Costa Rica held on, and a heroic performance from
Keylor Navas helped them after he produced a superb save to send the
Ticos to a victory in the shootout.
The first half was mostly a
cagey affair with both sides looking to play on the counter-attack,
although there were a limited amount of chances. A decent move saw Ruiz
feed Christian Bolanos early on, but the midfielder blazed his shot over
the bar when well-placed to test the goalkeeper.
It was Greece
who came the closest to scoring in the first half with José Holebas
delivering a sensational cross from deep for Dimitris Salpingidis.
Although the forward's cushioned volley was true, he still failed to
score as Keylor Navas managed to keep it out with his trailing leg,
another stunning save for a hugely impressive tournament for the Ticos
keeper.
Yet less than 10 minutes into the second half, Costa Rica
found their opener. Bolanos found Ruiz in space in the area, and the
forward finished with a deliciously calm shot which took advantage of
Karnezis' poor field of vision, calmly rolling the ball past him and
into the corner of the net to give his country one foot in their first
ever World Cup quarterfinal.
Costa Rica were looking on top,
but the game was to take a further twist as Duarte foolishly went in
with a late challenge on Holebas to earn himself a second yellow card
and leave the Ticos with 30 minutes to hang on with a numerical
disadvantage.
Greece poured forward with
little to lose, but Costa Rica were holding out well enough. Georgios
Samaras produced one archetypal piece of skill to unlock the Ticos'
defence, falling over as he stumbled into putting a good ball into the
box, but Navas was able to get it away.
Greece's terminal lack of
creativity looked like it was going to cost them, yet another late goal
was to come just as the game looked lost. Theofanis Gekas ought to have
scored with his effort on goal and was denied by another huge save from
Navas, but Papastathopoulos was waiting to prod home the rebound and
prompt extra time.
Costa Rica were looking all but
beaten due to exhaustion as the next 30 minutes began, but Gekas missed
another fine chance after a good cross from Vasilis Torosidis. At the
second half of extra time, the Ticos somehow managed to find some energy
to briefly rally and create a few half-chances, with Brenes and
Campbell both having decent opportunities.
Costa Rica came close from a
corner but somehow contrived to allow Greece to spring a 5-on-2
counter-attack, yet when the shot eventually came from Mitroglou it was
kept out by Navas, who produced another fine save to keep his team in
the game. Despite the extreme fatigue of the players, the final 10
minutes were an end-to-end affair of chances at both ends, none greater
than when Mitroglou collected a flick-on only for Navas, who flew out of
his goal, to deny him.
It was left to penalties to
separate the two sides -- Celso Borges smashed home the opening penalty
before Mitroglou belied his earlier misses by confidently slotting one
home. Ruiz and Christodoulopoulos both also converted in a display of
excellent penalty-taking before Gonzalez and Holebas also scored. The
exhausted Campbell then stepped up and managed to put his away.
Next to step up was the
veteran Gekas, but Navas produced maybe the best moment of his superb
tournament so far to thrust out a hand and deflect it away. Michael
Umana then confidently dispatched his to complete the historic night for
the tiny Central American nation.
Costa Rica: Navas;
Gonzalez, Duarte (sent off 66'), Gamboa (Acosta 77'), Umaña, Diaz;
Borges, Bolanos (Brenes 83'), Tejeda (Cubero 66'); Ruiz; Campbell
Goals: Ruiz (52')
Greece: Karnezis,
Holebas, Manolas, Papastathopoulos, Torosidis; Karagounis, Maniatis
(Katsouranis 78'), Samaris (Mitroglou 58'), Salpingidis (Gekas 69'),
Christodoulopoulos, Samaras
Goals: Papastathopoulos (90+1')

Costa Rica took the lead against Greece then saw themselves reduced to 10 men, with Greece equalising in the last minute. But the Ticos held on to clinch a win on penalties thanks to the heroics of Keylor Navas.
