The WBA, which has to the consternation of most observers sanctioned three world title belts in most weight classes by crowning super, regular and interim titleholders, said recently that it would reduce the number of titles it hands out by ordering its titleholders to face each other.That process will continue as the WBA announced it has ordered two more mandatory world title bouts that will eliminate one of the extraneous belts.Junior lightweight titleholder Jezreel Corrales (20-1, 8 KOs), of Panama, was ordered to face regular titlist Jason Sosa (19-1-4, 15 KOs), of Camden, New Jersey.Corrales, a 24-year-old southpaw, scored a major upset when he traveled to Japan and knocked out long-reigning titlist Takashi Uchiyama in the second round on April 27. Sosa, 28, claimed his version of the 130-pound belt with a big upset on June 24 in Beijing. Trailing on all three scorecards, Sosa rallied to knock out Javier Fortuna in the 11th round.In the bantamweight division, Raushee Warren (14-1, 4 KOs), the three-time U.S. Olympian from Cincinnati, must face regular titleholder Jamie McDonnell, of England.After a draw with Juan Carlos Payano in an August 2015 title fight, Warren, 29, won a majority decision against Payano in a rematch to claim the 118-pound belt on June 18 in Chicago.McDonnell, 30, won the vacant regular belt in 2014 and has made four defenses, including a ninth-round knockout of Fernando Vargas on April 9 in London.The representatives for the four boxers have until early August to make deals for the two title bouts or purse bids will be ordered.Also, junior welterweight titlist Ricky Burns (40-5-1, 14 KOs), who is in a division with only one WBA titleholder, was ordered to make his mandatory defense. Burns, 33, of Scotland, must face 26-year-old Kiryl Relikh (21-0, 19 KOs) of Belarus.Burns, who has previously held world titles at junior lightweight and lightweight, claimed a vacant belt at 140 pounds by knocking out Michelle Di Rocco, of Italy, on May 28 in Glasgow, Scotland.The Burns and Relikh camps also have until early August to make a deal or a purse bid will be ordered.Of the boxings 17 weight divisions, the WBA has multiple titleholders in 13 but has reduced the number of belts over the past several months as it is down to eight that have three titleholders.

Lack made 20 saves for his third shutout of the season as the Canucks blanked the St. Louis Blues 1-0 in the first post-Olympic game for both teams night.CHICAGO - Adam Dunn made it seem as if he had no trouble seeing through the dense fog. Dunn went 4 for 4 with two homers and five RBIs to overcome two home runs and five RBIs by Torontos Jose Bautista and give the Chicago White Sox a 10-6 victory in a game delayed over an hour because of limited visibility Monday night. "It was actually pretty tough," Dunn said about the fog. "It was probably a lot tougher for the outfielders. "It was worse than when it rains. With the lights, it made it really really bright. It was weird." Dunn hit a three-run home run off knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (5-8) in the fourth inning after he hit a solo shot in the third. Dunn, who entered the game with a .165 batting average, hit home runs that were estimated at 444 and 441 feet. "I dont think Ive faced that many (knuckleballers)," Dunn said. "I think I faced Tim Wakefield a few times and a couple other guys. "If theyre right, theres nothing you can do about it," he said. "Hopefully the make a mistake and tonight he made a few." The game was played from the second inning on in fog which became so thick in the third inning that fly balls became an adventure. Umpires stopped play in the third for 1 hour, 10 minutes and the fog continued to varying degrees even after the break. "It wasnt being called," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said after his teams third straight win. "Its just you cant predict. Its not like rain. "It would clear up and all the sudden you couldnt see an outfielder. Very odd," Ventura added. "It was probably worse on the outfielders because they couldnt really see when it was coming off the bat." Like Dunn, Bautista made it simple for the outfielders by simply sending it well over their heads. Bautista matched a career high with five RBIs and his first-pitch, first-inning home run with Melky Cabrera on first base gave Toronto a 2-0 lead. Dunns homers gave him his 36th career multihomer game and he matched a career high with four hits. He helped the White Sox score 10 runs in a game for the first time this season. Dylan Axelrod allowed Bautistas two-run shot in the first inning and three-run drive in the fourth, as well as a solo shot by Colby Rasmus in the fifth. Axelrod lasted four innings and gave up eight hits, six runs and four walks. At least on the home runs he gave up, Axelrod said he didnt mind the fog. "I didnt see all those homee runs go out," he said.dddddddddddd "So thats cool." Dickey went five innings and allowed seven runs, 10 hits and a walk. "Unfortunately the knuckleball is tough sometimes," Dickey said. "When it doesnt break, it can just sit there on a tee for guys like Adam Dunn to hit it out of the park, and thats what he did." Addison Reed pitched the ninth after Jesse Crain pitched out of an eighth-inning jam as the White Sox bullpen threw five scoreless innings. Crain has thrown 25 2-3 consecutive scoreless innings. "You get that lead and you start mixing and matching with guys," Ventura said. "Jesse again coming in in the situation that hes been coming in, hes been big." Reliever Nathan Jones (2-4) got the victory. Trailing 2-0, the White Sox rebounded with a five-hit, three-run second inning against Dickey, capped by Alejandro De Azas two-run, two-out single. The White Sox loaded the bases with singles by Dunn, Jeff Keppinger and Gordon Beckham. A sacrifice fly by Hector Gimenez made it 2-1, then De Aza singled to centre to score Keppinger and Beckham. Dunn made it 4-2 with his solo home run in the third prior to the delay. Then Bautista made it 5-4 for Toronto with his three-run homer in the fourth. Dunns second homer made it 7-5 before Rasmus shot made it 7-6. The White Sox added three runs in the eighth inning helped by two errors by the Blue Jays. Beckham led off with a single and went to third on an error by Edwin Encarnacion. With one out, he scored on an error by Emilio Bonifacio. Paul Konerko and Dunn added RBI singles later in the inning.
