Englands Kal Yafai, who won a vacant junior bantamweight world title with a one-sided decision against Luis Concepcion on Saturday at Manchester Arena, in Manchester, England, could not quite believe what he had accomplished.Its unbelievable, Yafai said. Its going to take a while to sink in. I knew I was going to do it, it was just a matter of how. I just did what I needed to do, got through it. I still feel that I have a lot more in me and plenty more to give. This win will take me up to another level now.Yafai did what several fighters from Birmingham, England, have been unable to do, including middleweight Matthew Macklin and welterweight Frankie Gavin in recent years, which is to become his citys first world titleholder in the 109 years since Owen Moran won a 20-round decision against Al Delmont to win what many recognized as the bantamweight world title in 1907.Yafai (21-0, 14 KOs), 27, easily outpointed Concepcion (35-5, 24 KOs), 31, of Panama, on the Anthony Joshua-Eric Molina undercard to claim the vacant belt one day after an overweight Concepcion was stripped of the belt. He weighed in at 117? pounds, 2? over the division limit.Yafai went on to win easily as he knocked Concepcion on his rear end with a left hand in the 10th round and prevailed 120-108, 119-108 and 117-110 on the judges scorecards. I always knew I was capable of a win like that, Yafai said. I really didnt think he was that great in there. I felt from round one that I was winning the rounds comfortably, doing what I needed to do and making sure that I had plenty in the tank in the championship rounds.He was tough and physical, but he wasnt as strong as I thought he would be on the inside, and he didnt punch as hard as I thought he would. He had decent power, but not the power that I thought he would.Yafai, who represented Great Britain in the 2008 Olympics, said the pro world title makes up for not winning a medal.Every Olympian and Olympic champion wants to become a world champion, he said. I missed out on the [medal at the] Olympics, but this is amazing. And Ive had a great payday, but this is more than any payday you could ever give me.I could have been moved quicker, really. Ive had injuries, and weve had to wait for the big fights. I think it has come at the right time, though, and the proof was in the win. Ive boxed a [former] world champion, and Ive won very comfortably. I feel that I won near enough every round. I did a lot of good things, but I did some bad things. But Ill correct them and get back in the gym after Christmas.Yafai came out of the fight with sore hands but said he looks forward to the day in the not-too-distant future when he can defend his 115-pound world title at home.I cant wait to headline in Birmingham as a world champion, he said. My hands are a bit sore, so I might be out for a little bit. But the second I can get in the gym I will be back working and getting ready to defend this belt for the first time.Tristan Thompson Jersey .

Then their former teammate faltered, and Los Angeles hammered the former Cy Young Award winner for five home runs.Joc Pederson joined the 20-plus home run club with a solo shot, and Los Angeles beat Greinke and the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-2 on Monday in Greinkes first road start against his former team.Things were going bad, and they were swinging good, Greinke said.The Dodgers increased their lead in the NL West to a season-high four games over San Francisco, which lost 6-0 at Colorado. The Dodgers have won three straight and four of five.Theyre not going to quit, so you cant take your foot off the gas, Dodgers rookie shortstop Corey Seager said.Kenta Maeda (14-8) allowed one run and three hits, struck out eight and walked one in 6 1/3 innings to tie Kazuhisa Ishii and Hyun-Jin Ryu for the second-most wins by a Los Angeles rookie. They trail only Rick Sutcliffes 17 in 1979. The Japanese right-hander has won six of his past seven.He was staying out of the middle of the plate, and he was getting strikes from both sides and hitting his spots, said Arizonas Paul Goldschmidt, who was 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout. He really had command of all four pitches.Greinke (12-5) imploded in his return to Dodger Stadium for the first time since he spurned the team as a free agent in December. He signed a $206.5 million, six-year deal in the desert after winning 51 games and compiling a 2.30 ERA from 2013-15 as part of a 1-2 punch with ace Clayton Kershaw in Los Angeles.Greinke gave up eight runs -- his second-most this season -- and nine hits in 4 2/3 innings and struck out six. The five homers, including four in the fifth inning, were a career worst for him. He hadnt allowed a home run in his past three starts.I felt real comfortable out there. Just not a good game, he said. I felt like I was going to make pitches and get every guy out.Adrian Gonzalez broke open a scoreless game with a two-run shot in the fourth, a preview of what was to come.More times than not, you are going to get him out with that pitch, Greinke said, but he is one of those guys that can actually get to it, so I wasnt completely shocked.After Howie Kendrick grounded out to open the fifth, Greinke gave up five consecutive hits. Pedersons home run was his sixth in as many games against Arizona. He,?Justin Turner (25), Yasmani Grandal (24) and Seager (24) give the Dodgers four or more players with 20 or more homers for the seventh time in franchise history.Zack is one of the best pitchers in the game, Pederson said. We were really able to break it open, and thats tough to do against a pitcher like him.Greinke called the 1-2 pitch to Pederson probably the worst pitch of the night. Two hitters later, Seager slammed a three-run homer into the pavilion in left field. Turner followed with a solo shot in nearly the same location as fans directed a derogatory chant at Greinke, who was booed heartily in his first at-bat.With two outs, Grandal homered for the third straight game to right field to make it 8-0. Arizona manager Chip Hale came out to pull Greinke, who walked off with his head down and bboos ringing in his ears.dddddddddddd.Hes so strategic with everything he throws, so its fun to kind of play with him, Seager said. You know everything he does is with purpose.Last season, Greinke led the majors with a 1.66 ERA, won a career-high 19 games and was an NL All-Star while helping the Dodgers win a third straight division title. Now, they are in pursuit of a fourth, while the D-backs have failed to contend this season and are mired in next-to-last place.Jake Lambs RBI single and Chris Owings RBI double accounted for Arizonas runs.GONZO VS D-BACKSGonzalezs 35th career homer against the D-backs ties Todd Helton for second-most all-time against the franchise and trails only Barry Bonds 39.GREINKE AT THE RAVINEUntil Monday, Greinke had been dominant at Chavez Ravine and had won his previous eight starts with a 1.09 ERA dating to July 4, 2015. He was one of five pitchers to win eight-plus consecutive starts there, the longest active streak in the majors at a single ballpark. The right-hander had limited the opposition to two or fewer earned runs in 14 straight starts at the stadium. Greinke had beaten the Dodgers once this season, 3-2 on June 13 at Arizona.ONE TRIPLE AWAYSeager came up a triple short of hitting for the cycle. He singled in the first, doubled in the fourth and homered in the fifth before grounding out in his last two at-bats. He is hitting .342 with 12 doubles, five homers and 15 RBIs in 19 career games against Arizona.ROOKIES ON THE MOUNDThe Dodgers had four straight rookie starters from Aug. 27-31, the teams first time doing so since Sept. 8-10, 1952.
