Illustrated: My thumb is up to the Chicago Cubs pitching staff,

Anthony Ogogo hopes to continue his career next year after revealing he has a double fracture of his eye socket.Great Britains 2012 Olympic bronze medallist suffered the first defeat of his professional career when his corner pulled him out in the eighth round of a middleweight bout against Craig Cunningham in Birmingham on Saturday.Ogogo (11-1, 7 KOs), who was knocked down by a right hook in the second round, had been suffering from blurred vision and an eye specialist confirmed on Monday the Lowestoft boxer may have sustained the injury before fighting Cunningham.After seeing an eye specialist today it turns out that I have fractured my eye socket in two places, Ogogo said. Given this my vision and balance were affected to the point that I had to be pulled out.As soon as I went back to the corner after the first round I realised something was wrong, although at the time was unaware of the extent of it.Ogogo, 27, is now ruled out until the latter half of 2017 at least after the latest setback in a career blighted by injuries.This is obviously an incredibly tough time for me, said Ogogo. I have overcome a lot of adversity previously and now face an uncertain time in terms of my eyesight with now another mountain to climb.However, I am ready for the challenge and will be giving everything I have to get back in the ring and to achieve my full potential.

This week they discuss LeBron James apparent endorsement of flopping, the Chris Williams situation in Hamilton, the Chicago Cubs pitching staff and the Philadelphia Phillies "classy gesture" towards Jacoby Ellsbury. Cathal Kelly, Toronto Star: My thumb is down to LeBron James. As per usual, LeBron James has played phenomenally through this playoff run, but he has to begin to understand that everything he says affects the game of basketball. Everything he does affects the game. This series between Indiana and Miami has been largely defined by diving. James has been a culprit, but the worst thing he did is to seemingly endorse the practice, saying after a game, "any advantage you can get over an opponent so be it." That is absolutely wrong. Other players listen to what James says. We dont want basketball to become international football. At this point, cheating can never be endorsed and certainly not by the best player on the planet. Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is down to Kent Austin and the front office staff of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for not finding a solution to the Chris Williams situation. Williams was the most dynamic player in the Canadian Football League last year, offensively catching touchdown passes, running six kicks back for touchdowns, doing everything you would want from a football player. He is not in camp right now because he wants to go to the NFL, and his contract with the Ticats doeesnt pay him enough to stay in Hamilton or report this year.dddddddddddd What the Ticats should do is sign him to a new contract, pay him more or double his salary for this year, then let him go at the end of next year. When you have a Chris Williams, you have to find a way to get him in the lineup because the CFL needs Chris Williams a whole lot more than Chris Williams needs the CFL. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is up to the Chicago Cubs pitching staff, and not for the way the Cubs pitchers pitch, its for the way they hit. This week, Travis Wood hit a grand slam home run. The Cubs pitchers in 105 at-bats have five home runs and 19 RBIs. For comparison purposes well take, say Adam Lind, the primary DH for the Blue Jays. He has 127 at-bats, five home runs and 12 RBIs. Im an old, National League guy. This is the best argument I have against the designated hitter. Dave Hodge, TSN: I hate to do it, but my thumb is down to the Philadelphia Phillies for their so-called "classy gesture" in the wake of Jacoby Ellsburys five stolen bases against them on Thursday. The Phillies decided they would honour Ellsburys red sox-team record performance by giving him a commemorative sixth base. They took the actual second base off the field and sent it on to Ellsbury. I wonder how Phillies catcher Erik Kratz felt about that? He might have preferred to direct attention away from Ellsburys record, lest other base runners who can prey on him decide theyd like to try for gifts from the Phillies, too. ' ' '
