In toe-to-toe
fight, Diaz takes title in 12 rounds
In a ferocious slugfest that went
the distance, UH-Downtown's Juan Diaz (25-0) wrested the World Boxing Association
Lightweight Championship from two-time WBA champion Lakva Sim (19-4-1)
of Mongolia at Reliant Arena on Saturday night in a 12-round donnybrook
that had the crowd on their feet.
Kolb selected for QB watch list
UH standout quarterback Kevin Kolb
was named to the 2004 Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award Watch List.
After a breakthrough freshman season during which the young quarterback
threw for an eye-popping 3,131yards and amassed 25 touchdowns in the process,
Kolb will be one of five Conference USA quarterbacks out of 42 candidates
for the award.
NBA power shifts east
When Shaquille O'Neal first moved
to Los Angeles from Orlando, his decision marked what would become a golden
age of dominance for the Western Conference of the NBA. It seems only fitting
that the eastern swing of the pendulum can be marked with his movement
yet again -- this time to the Miami Heat.
