ng 3-2 in their final five games.Delle Donne resumed practicing

Several retired, injured and damaged heavyweights gathered at ringside to watch Anthony Joshua take care of Eric Molina in the third with a right and a couple of left hooks at midnight on Saturday in Manchester.In the middle of the hefty gathering sat Wladimir Klitschko, one of the very best champions in history, and when the fight was over he agreed to meet Joshua next April outdoors at Wembley Stadium. It was a perfect end to a great night of fights.In the ring Joshua was calm and then destructive against Molina, who was disturbingly too willing to move away and not try too hard. Joshua is a hard puncher at this level and Molina should have known that, and crafted a strategy of some type. The American looked and fought like a fat journeyman and that is a disgrace at this level. Joshua finished it in style, but Molina offered nothing.Joshua was brilliant without having to think or fight too hard. He has been brilliant without having to think or fight too hard in every single one of his 18 professional wins, and that is a problem as he starts to count down the days before meeting Big Wlad.At ringside Tyson Fury, the man that so clinically ended Klitschkos reign as world champion last November, was unimpressed. He is beating bums, come on, Molina was a bum. How can he be praised for that? he asked.It has to be said that Joshua packs venues with his faithful and they are a truly devoted flock. Nobody boos the endings, nobody complains when men fall over without landing a punch. It is odd, a superb crowd to own and Joshua does own them.David Haye was also working at ringside -- not 10 feet from his verbal rival Tony Bellew -- and he was full of praise for Joshua. He does nothing wrong, he takes care of business -- he is impressive, confirmed Haye.Men like Molina litter Hayes record and Fury is right. However, Molina did survive nine rounds with Deontay Wilder, the WBC champion, and that is always a measure, a distorted form guide if you like. Molina is an honest pro and a nice guy but he is also possibly the most fortunate boxer to ever get two chances at winning the world heavyweight title.There were millions of words spoken, written and broadcast and they formed a river of congratulations late into the Manchester night. It is possible that Joshua and his team and Klitschko and his team are both 100 percent certain that the other man has made a critical error in agreeing the fight. All great fights in history are dependent and need this warped alchemy at their core.The outcome, lets be honest, is dependent on Klitschko, who will be 41 when they fight, and whether he is too old, too slow and simply unable to do what he has done for the best part of 20 years. That is not an early excuse, it is just a simple observation based on what nature does to a fighting mans huge body during 68 fights.Klitschko in 2006 plays with Joshua, who is still a novice. Thats fact, not invention, by the way. The crowd of 80,000 do not necessarily have to agree with the truth, they just need to be there in hope to praise their hero.It is trickier to understand Klitschkos desire to take the fight if his body is as shattered, weary and aching as it seems to be. Right now, his legacy is glorious; his horrible defeats were a long, long time ago and the loss to Fury last November was at the end of a 12-round chess match. There is the very real chance that Big Wlad could find himself ruthlessly bounced all over the white Wembley ring if his fighting days are over -- and that hurts any legacy.There is also the very real chance that Joshua will end up walking heavily in the sad tracks left by Frank Bruno in the same venue all those years ago when the ring knowledge of Tim Witherspoon proved too much for Brunos muscles, hope and endless support.Somebody, somewhere, has made the wrong calculation and that means that somebody, somewhere, has made the right decision; next April we will all find out when a great event just might be a great fight.

Air Max Scontatissime .Y. -- Paul Byron and Matt Stajan scored as the Calgary Flames started a five-game road trip with a 2-1 overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon.The mission for Chicago is clear: stop Angel McCoughtry.McCoughtry scored 37 points in Atlantas first-round playoff win over Seattle on Wednesday. The win set up a second-round, single-elimination game between the Dream and the Sky on Sunday. Tipoff is at 1 p.m. EDT at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill.No player in the WNBA has been as dominant on the offensive end as McCoughtry since the Summer Olympics break. Shes leading the league in scoring at 23.4 points per game. And she already holds the WNBA playoff record scoring a game-high 42 points.Chicago, which earned a first-round bye, will have to find a way to contain McCoughtry, and they have to do it without 2015 WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne, who was ruled out of Sundays game after having thumb surgery last week.Delle Donne is averaging 21.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per game.

She was limited and finally ruled out of Sundays game.In Delle Donnes place, the Sky will lean on Cappie Pondexter for scoring and leadership. Pondexters 19.8 points per game in the playoffs is the fifth highest in league history.Maybe more important, Pondexter averaged 13.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game in three games this season against Atlanta.Also having to step up in Delle Donnes absence will be Courtney Vandersloot, who was averaging 15.0 points per game in her last five games.When the two teams last met, the Sky hung on for a 90-82 win on Aug. 26 in Chicago. Atlanta won the previous two meetings between the two. ' ' '
