Kell Brook expects Manny Pacquiao to win back the WBO world welterweight title on Saturday and hopes they can meet in a 2017 unification fight.Pacquiao (58-6-2, 38 KOs) challenges Jessie Vargas for the belt he lost when he was unanimously out-pointed by Floyd Mayweather Jr in boxings richest ever fight in May 2015.Filipino Pacquiao, 37, now combines a political career with boxing and will put himself in the frame for a bigger bout if he defeats Vargas (27-1, 10 KOs) at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.Brook (36-1, 25 KOs), the IBF world welterweight champion, is recovering from a broken eye socket sustained in a fifth-round defeat to middleweight No. 1 Gennady Golovkin last September. But he has been looking ahead to next year.Of course I would be interested in the winner [of Pacquiao-Vargas], Brook told ESPN.All the fans were saying I didnt fancy fighting the best fighters, but I have gone in there with the best in the world in Golovkin, and Im ready to do it again.Im after the biggest and best fights out there, those are the ones that are going to get me up for it.Once you have become world champion, you need special fights to really keep you motivated in training. A world title unification fight would do that.I see Vargas getting some success, but I just think with Pacquiaos experience, having been in with the better opponents, hes going to have too much.But I dont see Pacquiao stopping him -- hell win on points. Hes had a lot of time out: is his passion still there? It could catch up with you at that age, so hes got to be careful, and that makes the fight interesting.Vargas is a good fighter -- hes a world champion -- but hes not the best out there. Theres not massive margins at this level, but I dont think hes in the super league with the likes of Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia and myself.Unless he shows us something Ive not see before, I dont see him winning.Brook, 30, was being lined up to face Vargas when talks stalled and he was instead offered the chance to step up two weight divisions and challenge Golovkin.He has until Feb. 24 to make up his mind about whether to defend his IBF welterweight title or step up a division.The Sheffield boxers mandatory challenger is American Errol Spence, but he has yet to decide which weight class his future lies in.My weight has settled down so I could still make welterweight. Ive got Spence on the horizon and theres the likes of [WBC champion] Garcia and Amir Khan as well, but I dont know yet, Brook said.The eye socket is healing well, but I still have some stitches in my mouth where they went into my cheek during the operation.Im looking forward to getting back in the gym and seeing what direction Im heading in next. I need to make sure my eye is 100 percent before I start doing that. Im looking at getting back in spring next year. Cheap Nike Jerseys .C. -- Glenn Howard needed an extra end to move into the Masters Grand Slam of Curling final.

Now that hes hitting streaking teammates with pin-point passes for easy layups, Love is asserting himself as one of the true superstars in the league. Wholesale Jerseys . PETERSBURG, Fla. Cheap Authentic Jerseys .com) - The Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks both take aim at their first wins of the season on Saturday, as the Canucks open their home slate at Rogers Arena. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Baltimore Orioles find themselves in a precarious position as they come to the Rays for a three-game series, three games back of the division lead and tied with Detroit for the American Leagues second wild card, so if it wasnt obvious, every win counts from here out.Win games. Its real simple, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said after a 5-2 loss to the Yankees on Sunday. We have to win games regardless of how we get there. I dont care how it looks or how it happens. We need to have more runs than them after nine innings, or 10 or 11 or 12 and so on. Its a pretty simple equation right now.Baltimore (74-62) faces the Rays (58-77) seven times in their next 13 games, so Tampa Bay can again play a major spoiler role, as they did this weekend in taking two of three games from division-leading Toronto.Tough one today. Came up a little short obviously, said Rays manager Kevin Cash after a 5-3 loss to Toronto, missing out on a potential sweep. There were probably a couple more opportunities we didnt get.Mondays opener -- a Labor Day 1:10 p.m. first pitch -- pits Baltimore RHP Ubaldo Jimenez (5-11, 6.46 ERA) against Rays RHP Matt Andriese (6-6, 4.19 ERA).Andriese opened the year 6-0 but has struggled since rejoining the rotation after the trade deadline -- the Rays are committed to keeping him in what is now a six-maan rotation, but hes 0-6 with a 5.dddddddddddd47 ERA in his last 14 appearances, including seven starts.In his last start, he reset career highs for runs (7) and hits (10) allowed, including seven extra-base hits in a loss to Boston. For his career against the Orioles, hes 0-2 with a 7.04 ERA.Whats worse, Jimenez has a strong history against the Rays, with a 2.87 ERA and 4-2 career record, striking out 36 batters in 37.2 innings. In his only outing against Tampa Bay this year, he took a tough-luck loss in a 3-1 loss in April.The Rays are relegated to spoiler status in a division they long since stopped being competitive in. Baltimore is in a different mode, struggling to stay close enough to take advantage of remaining head-to-head series against the Blue Jays and Red Sox.Whether were playing here or in Tampa or in Detroit or in Boston, were always playing people, Showalter said of the target on his teams back. Theres never a time theyre not engaged. Tampa is in a spot, you can see how theyre playing right now. Detroits right there and of course Bostons there. Thats why you do all the things that we do to be a part of this. Enjoy the competition and enjoy the fruits of the players labor to get this chance. ' ' '
