Indias 75kg boxer Vikas Krishan is supremely confident that if he wins his quarterfinal bout on Monday, he will go on to clinch the Gold medal. Vikas will fight Bektemir Melikuziev of Uzbekistan for a place in the semifinals. Melikuziev, who finished second at the World championships in Doha last year, presents a massive hurdle for the Indian. The pair had clashed at the Asian Championships in Bangkok last year, a bout the Uzbek won on his way to clinching the title. Vikas is convinced Melikuziev will face a much better opponent this time around.With Manoj Kumar (64 kg) and Shiva Thapa (56 kg) ousted from contention, the countrys boxing campaign now solely relies on him.This fight is for the Gold medal, Vikas told ESPN. If I win this fight I am going to get the Gold. I want to go back to India either empty handed or with a Gold medal. If I win this bout, the pressure from my mind will be released and I can play freely, thats why I am saying this. Every opponent is good and the guys who reach this far are the best in the world. But still, once I am out of this pressure, I am going to do my best.I lost to him (at the Asian Championships) in a very close bout. The score was 2-1 and I lost one of those points due to a warning. I made mistakes in the past when I fought against him, now I have to concentrate on my speed. Now I am fully fit, at that time I was not in great shape because the Asian Championships wasnt a major competition as I was preparing for the World Championship. If the guy had fought me in the World Championship, I would have beaten him. Now I am in full form and can beat him.The 20-year-old Uzbek has been touted as one of the rising stars of the sport and was named the Best Male Boxer of 2015 by the Asian Boxing Confederation .Neither man will enjoy a height advantage in the contest with both standing 510 tall. Vikas, who had finished fifth at the last World Cup, believes he has improved significantly in recent months and has the weapons and tactical nous to take down his formidable rival.I have been playing competitions continuously, he says. We have competitions every month and those have been good. The training sessions have also been good. So I dont feel so much pressure coming into this competition. The Olympics is a great stage and everybody knows that India is hoping for a medal from me. I am surely going to do that.Vikas also has unfinished business to complete at the Olympics. In a well documented sequence of events, he was declared the winner of his pre-quarterfinal bout against Errol Spence of USA in the preliminary round of the 69kg category. However, the decision was overturned on appeal, leaving Vikas distraught. Four years later, he has arrived in Rio having moved up to the 75kg category and determined to erase that bitter memory. So driven is he by that moment that in his first round bout here against Charles Conwell, Vikas found an extra dash of motivation as his opponent was from the same country as Spence.The scene from the last Olympics was in my mind during my first fight when I was fighting against a boxer from the same country, he said. I dominated the fight and won easily. The only pressure was that of the Olympics, nothing more. If that guy had competed with me anywhere else, I would have knocked him down in the first round.Vikas was the last of the three Indian boxers to book his spot for the Olympics, only sealing his spot at the final qualifying competition in Baku, Azerbaijan last month. However, he has arrived in Rio bursting with the conviction that he can leave an indelible imprint on these Games. After the clinical dismantling of Conwell, Krishan was devastating against Turkeys Sipal Onder in his second round, ensuring his build up to the bout he has identified as the biggest challenge of the competition is completed smoothly.My first bout wasnt so great but then I improved a lot, he says. I have given 70-80% in my last fight. Hopefully, I can give 100% in my next fight. Anders Lee Jersey . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night.

To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. Matt Martin Jersey . To the surprise of many, it isnt the Wolverines but their in-state rivals the Michigan State Spartans. LAS VEGAS -- These are ESPN Chalks weekly NFL betting recaps for every Week 11 game -- with an emphasis on the word betting.Sometimes its clear from the opening kickoff that a team is going to win and/or cover the spread.
