INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Cruiserweight world titleholder Oleksandr Usyk hoped to catch the attention of the American audience in his United States debut, and although he retained his belt, he did not exactly impress.Fighting on the Bernard Hopkins-Joe Smith Jr. undercard on Saturday night at The Forum, Usyk dropped fellow southpaw Thabiso The Rock Mchunu three times en route to a ninth-round knockout victory that featured very little action despite the knockdowns.Nonetheless, Usyk retained his 200-pound world title for the first time since going to Poland in September and winning a unanimous decision against hometown fighter Krzysztof Glowacki to take his world title and set a division record.By winning the belt in only his 10th professional fight, Usyk, the 2012 Olympic heavyweight gold medalist for Ukraine, broke the division record for fewest fights needed to win a world title, surpassing the mark held by Evander Holyfield, who won a cruiserweight world title in his 12th fight by outpointing Hall of Famer Dwight Muhammad Qawi in an epic 15-rounder in 1986.I get to take my belt back home, and I got to do it with my fellow Ukrainians in the crowd, Usyk said. We were hoping to get the knockout earlier, but we got it and were looking forward to bringing more fights to this cruiserweight division.The fight got off to a painfully slow start with neither fighter throwing many punches. They stared, feinted and occasionally threw one shot at a time, prompting the crowd to boo before the second round had ended. The fight meandered that way for the next few rounds until the 29-year-old Usyk (11-0, 10 KOs) got a bit busier in the fifth round and began to land combinations.In the sixth round he picked it up even more and seemed to have 28-year-old Mchunu (17-3, 11 KOs), of South Africa, in trouble with a series of power shots before knocking him down with a left uppercut.When the round was over, Mchunu looked exhausted as he sat on his stool and spit a stream of blood into the bucket.At that point of the fight, Usyk was firmly in control and attacking the shorter Mchunu with stiff jabs. Then he scored two knockdowns in the ninth round, both on left hands. After the second one, referee Lou Moret waved off the fight at 1 minute, 53 seconds.The styles didnt mesh, but any time you can get a knockout, youll take it, said K2 Promotions Tom Loeffler, Usyks promoter.According to CompuBox punch statistics, Usyk landed 163 of 517 blows (32 percent), and Mchunu, who had almost no power on his shots, landed 76 of 278 (27 percent).He got the better of me, and he used it against me, Mchunu said. All I can say now is that we have to go back to square one.Usyks next fight could land on the HBO PPV undercard of the March 18 middleweight world title fight between Gennady Golovkin and Daniel Jacobs. The fight, which will take place at Madison Square Garden in New York, was announced earlier Saturday.Diaz cruises past GarciaRising featherweight contender Joseph JoJo Diaz Jr., a 2012 U.S. Olympian, rolled to a shutout decision -- 100-90 on all three scorecards -- to retain his regional belt against Horacio Violento Garcia in a high-contact fight.Diaz (23-0, 13 KOs), 23, of South El Monte, California, was quicker and appeared to be the heavier hitter as he attacked Garcia to the body and with uppercuts throughout the fight. Garcia (30-2-1, 22 KOs), 26, of Mexico, took a lot of clean punches, as Garcia landed many more shots than him. According to CompuBox, he landed 266 of 629 blows (42 percent), while Garcia landed 116 of 690 (17 percent).I knew I was facing a tough, experienced opponent, so my plan was to go in there and get him using my jabs, angles and everything I worked on in my training camp, Diaz said. I came in and got what I wanted and Im very happy with the outcome.Garcias only previous loss came by 10-round decision to former three-division world titleholder Hozumi Hasegawa in Japan in 2015.It was a power versus speed fight, Garcia said. For every power punch I would throw, he would throw two. I agree with the judges decision, and well hit the gym to make the adjustments.Diaz went 4-0 on the year and put himself in position for a possible title shot in 2017.Middleweight Yamaguchi Falcao (12-0, 6 KOs), a 28-year-old southpaw who won a 2012 Olympic bronze medal for Brazil, stopped Mexicos German Perez (10-3-3, 3 KOs) in just 27 seconds when he dropped him and Perez could not continue because of a twisted ankle.Irish middleweight prospect Jason Quigley (12-0, 10 KOs) crushed chin-challenged Jorge Melendez (28-7-1, 26 KOs), of Puerto Rico. Quigley dropped Melendez three times in the first round and got the stoppage when the Melendez corner threw in the towel, as Quigley was teeing off on him along the ropes. Referee Gerald White stopped the fight at 2 minutes, 24 seconds.Me and [trainer] Manny Robles were ready to go all 10 rounds if necessary, Quigley said. He wanted the knockout more than I did. [Melendez] was coming forward and risking heavy punches to his own detriment.Lightweight Ryan Garcia (7-0, 6 KOs), an 18-year-old from Victorville, California, who recently signed with Golden Boy, stopped Mexicos Antonio Martinez (6-8, 5 KOs) at 2 minutes of the second round.I was a little nervous since this was my first timer as a Golden Boy Fighter, said Garcia, who was 215-15 as an amateur and a 15-time national champion. I set him up perfectly for me to utilize my straight jab and found a way to maneuver his awkward style. Im going to look back at the tape and just keep on improving.Junior lightweight Carlos Morales (15-1-3, 6 KOs), of Los Angeles, eked out an unpopular split decision against Charles Huerta (18-5, 10 KOs), of Paramount, California. Two judges scored it for Morales, 96-93 and 95-94, and one had it for Huerta, 96-93, who knocked Morales down with a left hook in the eighth round.He was on his game, and it was a tough fight, Morales said. I was caught completely off guard by his left hook, and I think that slowed me down, and the cut on my nose was a result of four hard rounds of boxing.Lightweight Christian Chimpa Gonzalez (16-0, 14 KOs), from Buena Park, California, dropped Jonathan Perez (36-16, 28 KOs), of Miami, Florida, in the second round and knocked him out at 24 seconds of the third round.My plan was to go in to the ring and practice what I had worked on in the gym, which was working on my jab, Gonzalez said. We knew we were facing an experienced opponent, and not much would surprise him, but my team and I trained hard on our plan, and Im very happy to have taken the knockout.Los Angeles lightweight Ivan Delgado (10-0-1, 3 KOs) knocked out Mexicos Roberto Rivera (6-4, 5 KOs) at 1 minute, 18 seconds of the sixth round.I feel great about my win, Delgado said. I knew I had to keep at my opponent in order to secure the knockout. I went heavy on the offensive, and I hadnt studied my opponent much before, but I knew it wasnt going to be an easy fight. Next stop is a state title in 2017.Featherweight Joet Gonzalez (15-0, 6 KOs), of Glendora, California, knocked out Mexicos Jairo Hernandez (15-11, 8 KOs) at 2 minutes, 40 seconds of the fourth round of a one-sided fight.Im glad we got the stoppage in the fourth round. Gonzalez said. I was expecting him to come forward more, and I think he was a bit cautious of my power blows. Overall, Im satisfied with my performance tonight. Cheap Nike Basketball Shoes .

We have a full slate of NBA games on Friday night (10), so that leaves plenty of options for DFS players. Who are must-starts in your lineup, and who should be avoided? Our experts -- Renee Miller, Joe Kaiser, Kyle Soppe and Al Zeidenfeld?-- give their picks.Renee Miller -- Kemba Walker, Charlotte HornetsThere is no shortage of quality point guards tonight, starting, of course, with Russell Westbrook. I think its boring to write up the best player in the league every time he plays, so Im highlighting Walker here. At a significant discount from Westbrook, Walker is quietly the player with the third-highest player-efficiency rating (29.08) and seventh-highest usage rate (29.3). Hes historically a higher upside play at home, and tonight he faces a Hawks backcourt that is giving up the third-most fantasy points to opposing point guards. Whether its as a second PG or G/UTIL, or simply a differentiation from the always-popular Westbrook, Walker could easily be one of the best point-per-dollar plays tonight.Joe Kaiser -- Stephen Curry, Golden State WarriorsBoston vs. Golden State is projected to be the highest-scoring game of the night (225 points), and Curry continues to be appealing this season. While his salary is down, his numbers arent too far off his previous MVP years. Hes still Steph, and hes still capable of catching fire and putting up 40 points any night out. He has played very well against the Celtics his last four games, with a low score of 37 on FanDuel and 45.8 on DraftKings, and I expect him to be in the 45-60 range tonight against Bostons 17th-ranked defense.Kyle Soppe -- Chris Paul, Los Angeles ClippersI find that the point guard position is often what makes the difference in DFS matchups. Sure, you can chase the monster point value, and guys like Russell Westbrook and Steph Curry are more than capable of producing at an otherworldly level tonight (and any other night for that matter), but value is what wins in DFS. Given the money you save on Paul, he is the point guard to build around on this full slate.He takes his league-leading PER into this showdown with the fourth-least efficient defense in basketball, a combination that gives him a very high floor. The assists floor is as high as ever for CP3, and with him currently firing a career-high 4.9 triples per game, not to mention more than five free throws a game for just the second time since joining the Clippers in 2011, his scoring ceiling is higher than youd assume. Have I not mentioned that his 5.2 rebounds and 3.1 steals also represent career highs? There are flashier skill sets to be had at the PG position, but value wins, and Paul is my best option on the board tonight.Al Zeidenfeld?-- Kemba Walker, Charlotte HornetsFew players have taken as large a leap forward in their night-to-night production as Kemba Walker. Most of that improvement can be attributed to his much-improved shooting, and it can certainly be argued that he will be hard-pressed to maintain those rates over the course of the season.dddddddddddd The conventional wisdom with Walker was that you played him at home and avoided him on the road, and those splits from past years remain in play in the short sample of games so far this season, as he averages 8.2 more DraftKings points at home as a result of improved shooting rates and assist totals. His price continues to be on the rise but is still too low for the average and ceiling he has possessed through the first 10 games.FadeRenee Miller --?DeMarcus Cousins, Sacramento KingsI hate putting Cousins in this space because he is no doubt one of the top players in the league. Tonight it comes down to a battle with the Clippers, one of the worst fantasy matchups for opposing big men and the league leaders in defensive efficiency. There are enough guys I want to pay up for -- too many in fact -- to be able to squeeze Cousins in when hes in a bad matchup. While I think Cousins will make a 5X value threshold tonight, its often the case on these big Friday slates that 7-8X is what you need to win, and L.A. wont make that easy.Joe Kaiser -- Tristan Thompson, Cleveland CavaliersI know that opposing centers often have big games against Andre Drummond and the Pistons, but Thompson scores a good portion of his DFS points off of rebounds, and those will be hard to come by against Drummond, who is second in the league with 13.8 rebounds per game. Thompson will have to put the ball through the hoop to reach his salary value on Friday.Kyle Soppe - Dennis Schroder, Atlanta HawksYeah, yeah, yeah, I realize that I was up on my soap box earlier this week telling you that I preferred Schroder for the rest of the way to Jeff Teague and Jrue Holiday. And I stand by that. We are looking at a very good point guard who is going to produce in a big way for fantasy owners. Annual fantasy owners. That doesnt mean he cant struggle from time to time, and I believe this is one of those instances.Listen, PER isnt everything, but Schroder ranks 23rd at the PG position, and that could be a major issue in this game that features two of the four most-efficient defenses in basketball. For daily purposes, I also worry about the floor on the Hawks spark plug, as he has not scored more than 13 points and handed out five assists in four straight games. As a young player taking on a new and extended role, Schroder is going to experience his ups and downs, which makes a matchup with a better than you think Hornets defense less than ideal. His cheap price tag is appealing, but Im paying for Chris Paul and pinching pennies elsewhere (Enes Kanter and Thaddeus Young, if youre curious).Al Zeidenfeld -- Terrance Jones, New Orleans PelicansJones had a fantastic game last time out, but with Davis expected to be back, and his price hike pushing him into a range where well need to see 30-plus fantasy points to be satisfied, Ill be staying away from Jones today.
