RIO DE JANEIRO -- His heart in the United States and his fight for Honduras, Teofimo Lopez stood in the Olympic ring feeling like a boxer without a country.The 19-year-old fighter was born in New York, raised in Florida, and developed into a prime candidate for the United States in the boxing tournament. With a win in the Olympic trials, Lopez certainly had the credentials to land a spot in USA Boxing.Because of a convoluted series of circumstances, Lopez was squeezed out of a likely role fighting for his home country. Instead, he fought for the homeland of both of his parents and became the entire Olympic boxing team for Honduras.But by the time Lopez lost a unanimous decision Sunday to Sofiane Oumiha of France, he was ready to move on and forget about Rio.Lopez felt abandoned by the Amateur International Boxing Association and unwanted by Honduras.They didnt want me to win, Lopez said. They came here to see me lose. Im not Honduran. They called me `gringo. Its like a slap in my face.Lopez declined to identify the people he said had turned against him before the fight, although it was impossible to find fans in the stands rooting against the outspoken teen. About a dozen Hondurans went wild for Lopez and waved their countrys flag when he walked to the ring. Lopez gestured in appreciation toward the cluster of fans when he was introduced by the ring announcer.Lopez was sharp in the ring but lost 30-27 on all three cards to a fighter with a much deeper pedigree.Lopezs father and trainer, Junior, was furious at the decision and the way his son swerved from the game plan to try for an early knockout. Junior Lopez stopped to scold his son during a news conference afterward.If you would have done what I told you, you would have stopped that dude, Junior said.All right. But unanimous, thats crazy, Lopez said.You won the fight! But theyre not going to give it to you. I told you from the beginning, his father said, hands gesturing toward his sons face.Dad, its over, man.Lopez never wanted to fight for another country, only eventually being persuaded to fight for Honduras once he realized it was his only opportunity to make the Olympics.Qualifying for the Olympics has long been a complicated system, and the winner of a little-known tournament was actually used for the first time to select team members.Lopez won the lightweight division at the U.S. Olympic trials in December, and his feat was still not enough to make the team.Carlos Baldera had qualified for the one open lightweight slot based on his finish in the World Series of Boxing, a little-seen series not really known outside of amateur circles. Lopez was not old enough to compete in the series.Lopez, a 2015 Golden Gloves champion, was able to use his parents birth country as another way to fight.He had the Olympics, just not his country.If Lopez had fought for Team USA, Junior Lopez said the scorecard would have read in his sons favor.Of course, he would have freakin won, Junior said.An IABA official nearby shook his head and flatly shot down the idea that Lopezs fighting nationality would have played a role in the result.Lopez still performed a backflip in the ring once he lost the decision.I always said, `medalha de ouro, Portuguese for gold medal, because when you attract positivity it comes to you.But that didnt come out today, he said.---Online:AP Summer Games website: http://summergames.ap.org/ Clearance Yeezy For Sale .

FORT WORTH, Texas -- After handing TCU its worst home loss under 17th-year coach Gary Patterson, Oklahoma State?head coach Mike Gundy wondered how the committee will view a game from Week 2 that was rife with controversy.The Cowboys could have been playing for something more if they hadnt lost in Week 2 -- and Gundy said he believes thats the case. It remains to be seen whether the College Football Playoff committee and its chair, Kirby Hocutt, feel the same.I know Kirby had mentioned that the committee feels a certain way about that game, Gundy said in Fort Worth. I think Kirbys playing poker and that they see us as a 10-win team. Thats just my opinion.The 9-2 Cowboys lost to Central Michigan?in Week 2 after the Chippewas were incorrectly awarded an untimed down on the final play and subsequently scored on a Hail Mary after Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph was flagged for intentional grounding on a fourth-down pass as time expired. The MAC officiating crew in Stillwater and the Big 12 replay crew were later suspended because of the errors that led to the winning play.Hocutt, who is alsoo the athletic director at Texas Tech, said last week of the disputed finish that were viewing it as a loss.dddddddddddd Previously, Bill Hancock, executive director of the CFP, said the committee would be well aware of what happened on the field in reference to the Cowboys first loss of the season.Nobody will ever convince me that we didnt get the win, Gundy said Saturday of the 30-27 loss to the Chippewas on Sept. 10.The Cowboys other loss came in Week 4 at Baylor, 35-24.OSUs win over the Horned Frogs was the seventh straight for the Cowboys. Oklahoma State rushed for 334 yards in the 31-6 victory over the Horned Frogs, moving to 9-2 overall and 7-1 in the Big 12. Gundys team is off next week before visiting No. 9 Oklahoma on Dec. 3.Sooners coach Bob Stoops seemed to agree with Gundys sentiment.In my eyes, they only got one loss, Stoops said Saturday night. You know, if you played by the rules.Oklahoma State can win the Big 12 title with a win over its Bedlam rival. ' ' '
