tewart began pummeling Foreman around tthe ring

Rob Lee looks back on the latest fitness update from Tiger Woods, welcome wins for Adam Scott and Louis Oosthuizen, and insists there is no reason for Rory McIlroy fans to be concerned. As we look forward to the first World Golf Championship of the year, much of the attention was diverted in the direction of multiple WGC winner Tiger Woods after he gave us an update on his recovery from back surgery.He admitted there was still no timetable for his return, but its good to hear hes able to practice chipping and putting and the video of him hitting a smooth nine-iron on a simulator was a welcome sight for his legion of fans. Tiger has had three major back operations now, and these are difficult things to come back from. I think he came back too quickly the first time. Dont forget Graham DeLaet had the exact same procedure and was out of action for almost a year, and Tiger tried to come back in almost half that time. Tiger Woods would risk his career by rushing back too early once again Im sure hes now fully aware of the importance of not rushing back this time, and he will not return unless he is absolutely sure he is 100% fit. There is no point in coming back too soon, and if he has to spend the whole of 2016 recovering, then so be it.The most important thing for Tiger is that he avoids the temptation to try and speed up the process. He said in Albany in December that he would quit if he required any more surgery. Hes had the advice from the best doctors, and that is something he may not have heeded in recent years. Woods has now had three back operations, and needs to be fully fit before returning But I think its different this time, and I cant imagine any medical specialist worth his salt would be keen for an athlete such as Tiger Woods to rush back into competition.Perhaps this time the penny has dropped, and he is now at the point of no return. So I wouldnt be surprised to see him come back later, rather than sooner.Just down the road from Chez Tiger, the Florida Swing kicked into action with the Honda Classic and Sky Sports viewers were treated to an excellent tournament packed with talking points. Adam Scott proudly holds the 2016 Honda Classic trophy I was really pleased to see Adam Scott win after dealing with having to go back to a conventional putter. He persevered with the anchored putter for longer than most last year, and many predicted the anchored putting ban could damage his career.But he finished second at Riviera and followed that up with a win at PGA National, and he looks like he is swinging the club better than he ever has.After a number of youngsters won on the PGA Tour in the early part of the wrap-around season, the likes of Jason Dufner, Brandt Snedeker and now Scott have bucked that trend. Victory was Scotts first with a regulation putter since the 2010 Singapore Open Are the old guard fighting back? I wouldnt read much into that. These things can go in phases - a few wins for the 20-somethings, and then a few for the over 30s. These things happen in golf.The thing to do is look at the top of the world rankings if you want to know where the power base is, and - right now - the power base is with the young guns.Sergio Garcia pushed Scott hard at the Honda and came up just short at the end. He said he didnt feel completely comfortable with his swing all week, and comfort is vital for PGA Tour professionals. Sergio Garcia battled hard at PGA National but came up a shot short But even the best players will have weeks where theyre a little off with their swing, and sometimes you just have to battle hard and gouge it round. This is what we saw from Sergio at PGA National, and it was a great result for him coming off a missed cut at Riviera.You cant turn up week in, week out with a pretty swing, and when you lose the comfort and feel, its a mystery you have to resolve out on the course and just find a way to get it round. Garcia managed that and good for him - more please!He can paint some really pretty pictures on a golf course, but its also good for him to be contending for a title when he feels hes not 100%. Rory McIlroy made many mistakes, but there were positives as well As for Rory McIlroy, he has enjoyed - and endured - five years of contrasting fortunes in this event, and it was disappointing to see him miss the cut after a pair of erratic 72s.Rory has always had that element of being a streaky player. He can get on a run where he looks unstoppable, and then he can have a period where he is just a little off. For all the mistakes last week, he still hit a lot of great shots, and he is not far away from his best.Its easy to say hes in a slump just because he hasnt been in the top-five every week since January. But the reality is, golf is a very difficult game, and I really dont think Rory McIlroy has anything to worry about right now.Maybe his change of putting grip will do the trick this week. Rickie Fowler was flawless for 36 holes before fading at the weekend I was also surprised to see Rickie Fowler fall away at the weekend after playing the first 36 holes without a bogey and looking so accomplished. He looked all set to ride off into the sunset with another title in the bag, but it went very wrong for him on Saturday.He appeared very loose over the weekend, but like Rory, you cant castigate a talent such as Rickie Fowler for a couple of bad rounds - especially at one of the toughest courses on the PGA Tour schedule.If youre just a little off key around PGA National, you get punished. Its a very unforgiving venue, and Jack Nicklaus has done a great job in turning into the sort of course that has a major feel about it. Louis Oosthuizen after winning the Perth International Over on the European Tour, Louis Oosthuizen collected his first win in over two years at the Perth International. His fellow South African Charl Schwartzel rarely wins outside his homeland, but Louis has proved he can win anywhere in the world.Hes an amazing player and, on his day, hes up there with the likes of Adam Scott, Rory McIlroy and Jason Day as one of the best ball-strikers in the world.Oosthuizen has had a lot of problems with injuries in recent seasons, but hes managing his schedule very carefully and it would be fantastic to see him have three healthy years to see what hes really capable of. Unless it rains, the greens at Doral will be firm and fast over the weekend This week, all eyes are on Doral in Florida for the WGC-Cadillac Championship, where Jordan Spieth, Jason Day and Rory McIlroy play together for the first two rounds.A lot of long hitters have had success at Doral, but if theres no rain over the week, those greens will be like big bricks over the weekend. Theres a couple of holes where you can struggle to keep it on the green hitting a sand wedge.It can be almost a bit too tricked up for my liking, and Im guessing it will be soft and lush for two days, and then they will turn the taps off and let the greens bake for the weekend. The 18th at Doral is one of the toughest closing holes in the world, and if you have a one-shot lead after 71 holes, you still need to keep your focus and work very hard to walk off 18 with a par.Robs Sky Bet tip: Length is always an advantage at the Blue Monster, and thats why I expect Dustin Johnson to go well there again this week. Playing a course he has won at before will do wonders for his confidence, and Ive got the feeling hes been bubbling under in the early part of the year. Theres a big week coming soon for DJ, and this could be the perfect week for him to deliver at 10/1 with Sky Bet. Get a Sky Sports Pass Dont miss the WGC-Cadillac Championship.

Mike Brosseau Rays Jersey Jesus Aguilar Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. Alex Stewart, a heavyweight contender who fought Mike Tyson and nearly beat George Foreman, has died. He was 52.Stewart died last week after being rushed to a hospital in Mount Vernon, N.Y., said Mike Gilberg, a close friend of the former fighter. He had a blood clot in his lung, Gilberg said.One day he wasnt feeling good, the next this happened, Gilberg said.Stewart fought in a golden time for heavyweight boxing, and he fought almost all the big names of his time. A perennial contender, he was never able to win the big fights of his career but had a reputation as a smart and tough fighter.Stewart lost twice to Evander Holyfield, and was knocked out in the first round of his December 1990 fight with Tyson. But it was his April 1992 fight with Foreman in Las Vegas that was the highlight of his career.Foreman was in the middle of a comeback that he would cap two years later by knocking out Michael Moorer to become the oldest man to win the heavyweight championship at the age of 45 when he met Stewart in a scheduled 10-round bout.Foreman knocked Stewart down twice in the second round and was battering him in the third, when Foreman motioned to referee Richard Steele to stop the fight. But Steele let it continue, and Stewart began pummeling Foreman around tthe ring.ddddddddddddI thought I had him in the third round but the referee let it go on, Foreman said. I didnt want to hurt the kid and now the kid hurt me.Stewart would lose a controversial majority decision, but it was Foreman who looked like loser after the fight with his face hidden behind large sunglasses.Was that a fight or was that a fight? Stewart asked reporters afterward.Stewart lost his second fight to Holyfield the next year, then spent the remainder of his career mostly as an opponent for younger fighters to measure themselves against. He retired with a record of 43-10 with 40 knockouts after losing his last fight in 1999 to Jorge Luis Gonzalez by second round knockout.Stewart was born in London and raised in Jamaica and fought for Jamaica in the 1984 Olympics before turning pro.Gilberg said after retiring from boxing Stewart was a driver for a liquor distributor in the New York City area, and later worked in a factory making boxes for the same company.Gilberg said the fighter is survived by his wife, Angella, and a daughter, Ajay-Tenille. Services will be held Nov. 29 at the Pelham Funeral Home in Pelham, N.Y. ' ' '
