Yeezy 700 For Sale . 19 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, will now get to perform for a much wider audience.The scheduled 10-round bout was elevated to the televised portion of the HBO PPV card (9 p.m. ET) on Wednesday, promoters Main Events and Roc Nation Sports announced.Main Events, which promotes Kovalev, and Roc Nation Sports, which represents Ward, each made their bouts on their own for the pay-per-view, but the fourth fight of the telecast was supposed to be the bout they made together matching their boxers.When they were unable to finalize a fight that they could agree on, or one that was worthy of being on the pay-per-view, Stevens-de la Rosa, a Main Events match made a few weeks ago, was bumped up to the telecast.The fight will be the second in row for Stevens (28-5, 21 KOs), 31, a former world title challenger from Brooklyn, New York, on HBO PPV.

His last victory, an upset 10-round decision win against Alfredo Angulo in 2014, was on the Showtime PPV undercard of Floyd Mayweathers second victory against Marcos Maidana.I am happy to fight on the PPV telecast, de la Rosa said. I need this win so Ill leave it all in the ring come Nov. 19.Promoter Kathy Duva, CEO of Main Events, said once it was clear that Main Events and Roc Nation Sports were not going to be able to put together another fight in time for the remaining pay-per-view slot, the decision was made to go with Stevens-de la Rosa.After we announced Curtis would be fighting on the untelevised portion of the Kovalev-Ward PPV card, we heard from a lot of fans asking that the fight be moved to TV so they could see Curtis, Duva said.

NEW YORK -- The upcoming Olympic Games are not likely to have a major impact on the spread of Zika virus, although four developing countries could face a substantially higher risk, according to a new government estimate.U.S. researchers tried to calculate whether the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, which is in the midst of a Zika epidemic, will lead to outbreaks that wouldnt have happened otherwise. The danger is that infected travelers might be bitten by mosquitoes after returning to their home nations, which would potentially spread Zika to other people and spark an outbreak.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 19 countries that currently do not have Zika have the right conditions for outbreaks if it is imported by people returning from the Olympics. But in only four of the 19 countries is the issue considered substantial: Yemen, at the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula, and Chad, Djibouti and Eritrea in Africa.CDC researchers made their predictions based on a range of factors, including air travel patterns between Brazil and other countries and the presence of a tropical mosquito that is the main way Zika spreads to people.The four nations at greatest risk from the Olympics generally have no or very few travelers to Zika outbreak countries. Only a dozen to several dozen people are expected to travel to the Rio Games from each of these countries, but those small numbers represent a notable jump from regular traffic volume to outbreak countries, said the CDCs Dr.?Martin Cetron, one of the authors of the report.That doesnt mean health officials are predicting outbreaks in those four countries, Cetron added.The Olympics are happening at a colder time of year in Rio, when mosquito activity is at a minimum. If people take preccautions against mosquito bites, these four countries could be spared Olympics-related outbreaks, he said. Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2. The Olympic and Paralympic Games are expected to draw an estimated 350,000 to 500,000 international visitors and athletes from 207 countries. But health officials say that travel this year will account for less than 1 percent of international travel to Zika outbreak countries.Last month, the World Health Organization rejected calls by some to cancel the summer Olympics, saying there is a very low risk the Olympics will accelerate the spread of Zika around the world.The new CDC report seems to confirm that assessment, said Justin Lessler, a Johns Hopkins University epidemiologist who focuses on computational approaches to predict the spread of disease.I think the most important result highlighted in this paper is how insignificant the additional risk of global Zika transmission caused by the Olympics is, Lessler said in an email.Earlier this year, the WHO declared Zika a global emergency after seeing an epidemic spreading through Latin America and the Caribbean.In most cases, Zika infections cause, at worst, mild symptoms that disappear within a week. But the WHO declaration was driven by a link between infections in pregnant women and the development of severe brain-related birth defects in their fetuses.Health officials have advised pregnant women to avoid travel to Zika outbreak countries, including Brazil while the Olympics are taking place.Zika can also be spread through sex, and health officials are advising condom use and other precautions for travelers.---Online:CDC report: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr Cheap NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys' ' '
