Ranger looked for opportunities throughout the race to make a move on

LAS VEGAS -- The fact theyre much bigger than when they first met eight years ago is undeniable. wholesale nfl jerseys . Both Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have added bulk along with the pounds, and both have had to deal with those who suspect they didnt do it naturally. Along with the fighters, the purses and attention have grown as Pacquiao and Marquez meet Saturday night for the fourth -- and presumably last -- time in the rivalry that has served both fighters so well. Marquez will try once again to do what he hasnt been able to do in 36 evenly contested rounds against Pacquiao -- get a decision from the ringside scorecards. At the age of 39, its a fight that may mean more to his legacy than his future career, which is why its a fight he seems almost desperate to win. "All I ask is for the judges to be objective," Marquez said. "They need to really see what is happening in the ring instead of what they think might be happening in the ring." Pacquiao is not as desperate, but he needs a win just as badly. He barely escaped with a majority decision over Marquez last November -- a result that drew loud boos from the pro-Marquez crowd -- and lost a widely panned decision to Timothy Bradley his last time out. A loss to Marquez would not only confirm the whispers that he is slipping after 17 years as a pro, but perhaps derail for good any talk of a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. that would be boxings richest ever. "I have always been focused, but not like this fight," Pacquiao said. "There are no distractions in my mind. The family problems I had I dont have this time." Neither fighter holds a title as they meet in a welterweight fight that will make both even richer. Pacquiao is expected to make more than $20 million by the time the pay-per-view receipts are totalled, while promoter Bob Arum said Marquez could make as much as $6 million. Its a far cry from 2004, when Pacquiao and Marquez could barely fill half the arena, and the money they made would barely pay for one of their luxury cars today. The fight, though, was plenty intriguing, with Pacquiao coming off a win over Marco Antonio Barrera that announced his entry into boxings elite and Marquez having stopped his last 11 opponents. It seemed a mismatch when Pacquiao knocked his fellow 125-pounder down three times in the first round and Marquez barely survived to hear the bell. But the Mexican champion began a comeback in round 3, dominating the late rounds on his way to a disputed draw that foreshadowed what was to come in the years ahead. All three fights -- Pacquiao won the last two -- were so close they could have gone either way. And had they gone the other way, boxing history may have changed. Pacquiao might not have gotten the fight with Oscar De La Hoya that catapulted him to stardom in 2008 just nine months after beating Marquez in a split decision in their second fight. Marquez, meanwhile, might have become more than just an opponent getting rich off the names of fighters who will be judged better than him. "My career maybe changed, and everything would be different," Marquez said. "But I feel great what happened in the past with Manny." A fourth fight between two world class fighters is almost unheard of in a day when top fighters rarely enter the ring more than twice a year. Almost as astonishing is that they were spread out over eight years and five weight classes, yet Saturday nights fight will still be a pay-per-view event that will likely draw more than 1 million buys (HBO $59.95) across the country. Pacquiao weighed in at the class limit of 147 pounds Friday, while Marquez was 143 pounds. If the old rules of boxing applied, Pacquiao would be fighting a rematch with Bradley for the welterweight title he lost in June in what most watching thought was one of the worst decisions in recent years. But Bradley doesnt sell pay-per-views and Marquez does, so hes on the sidelines as Pacquiao and the Mexican opponent he knows so well battle for riches instead of a crown. As is the norm in the sport, the fight needs some controversy to sell. This time its about Marquez bulking up in ways a 39-year-old normally cant and the ties his strength coach has to steroid scandals of the past. Angel Guillermo "Memo" Heredia provided track athletes like Marion Jones and Justin Gatlin with steroids and human growth hormone, only to escape prosecution in the BALCO case by agreeing to testify for the prosecution. He hotly denies using anything with Marquez, claiming his fighter has bulked up only because of an unorthodox strength and conditioning program he designed for him. Pacquiaos trainer, Freddie Roach, said Marquez didnt look like a fighter who had naturally grown, prompting a threat of a lawsuit by Heredia and denials by Marquez himself. "You can say anything you want but you have no proof," Marquez said. "Lets go together and Ill do any test you want." Pacquiao, who himself was the target of suggestions by Mayweathers camp that he used something to grow, said he wasnt worried about it. "Lets give him credit for hard work," Pacquiao said. "Its not about size, its about how you function in the ring. Ive been fighting bigger guys all my life." nfl jerseys china . Raonic dropped a 6-7 (3), 7-6 (7), 7-6 (8), 6-4 decision to American Sam Querrey. The match was suspended a day earlier because of darkness with the score tied at one set each and 3-3 in the third. cheap jerseys . Headlining the list of players sent down were Calder Trophy candidate Adam Henrique and fourth-overall draft pick Adam Larsson.J.R. Fitzpatrick knew he was going to have his hands full keeping Andrew Ranger behind him on Saturdays final lap. Turns out, he didnt have to worry as a final lap caution allowed the Ayr, Ontario, driver of the No. 84 Equipment Express Chevrolet to sail across the finish line under a yellow-checkered to claim the NAPA AUTOPRO 100 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve for the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1. "My car was really good at the beginning. The tires were hot and we all were setting a pretty good pace, but after the first caution came I found out that it took a bit to build heat in the tires," Fitzpatrick said. "So, on that (last restart) I knew I wasnt going to have enough time to get my tires heated back up which caused me to do a little more mirror driving than Id like, but its what I had to do." Seven of Fitzpatricks eight series wins have come on road courses, including his 2009 victory at Montreal. He won the pole position in Fridays qualifying and led 22 of 23 laps Saturday.  Ranger looked for opportunities throughout the race to make a move on Fitzpatrick. On Lap 14 took the chance and made it work, but unfortunately for Ranger the caution flag came out when Benoit Theetge was stopped in Turn 1 with the field bearing down on him. The lineup is set on the running order on the last completed green flag lap which returned Fitzpatrick to the race lead. A late-race caution set up a two-lap shootout to the finish for Fitzpatrick and Ranger as the two cars were aligned nose to tail. However, a multi-car wreck in Turn 14 after the leaders took the white flag, however, brought an end to the event. Looking for his fourth win in Montreal in front of the hometown crowd Ranger, out of nearby Roxton Pond, Que., was disappointed with the having thee race end under caution. wholesale jerseys.  "Im really proud of how we did today. The car was good and my crew did a great job," said Ranger. "(Fitzpatrick) did a great job in front of me and limited my chances. I wish we could have raced for it at the end, but thats how it goes, I guess." Despite being the benefactor Fitzpatrick would have liked to see how things turned out had that final caution flag not been waved, as well. "Dont get me wrong, Ill take the win, but it would have been pretty exciting if we could have raced for it," he said. "I dont know if we would have won or even made it to the end. It would have been interesting," Per NASCAR rules, once the leader takes the white flag the field is frozen on any subsequent caution and the race is complete. Robin Buck, a road-course veteran coming off a fourth-place effort on Aug. 5 at Trois-Rivieres, Que., finished a season-best third behind the wheel of his No. 66 Quaker State Dodge. "The way the cautions fell today made it pretty difficult," said Buck. "I got held up a little at the beginning, but the equipment was strong at the end." Scott Steckly and points leader D.J. Kennington came home in the fourth and fifth positions, respectively. NASCAR Nationwide Series drivers Timmy Hill and Austin Dillon, both making their series debut to gain more experience on a road course, finished sixth and seventh, respectively. Trevor Seibert, rookie Xavier Coupal and Kerry Micks completed the top 10. Kennington continues to lead the points by 33 over Ranger. Fitzpatrick moved up a spot to third, two points behind Ranger. The NASCAR Canadian Tire Series returns to the track for the Wahta Springs 300 at Barrie (Ont.) Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 8. ' ' '
