MONACO -- WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin beat Osumanu Adama by TKO in the seventh round, his impressive speed and accuracy flooring his challenger three times on Saturday. The Kazakh fighter successfully defended his belt for the 10th time to improve to 29-0, including 26 KOs. The bout was the mismatch it appeared on paper, as Adama was ranked 12th by the WBA. "I feel terrific, Im very happy with my performance," Golovkin said in a statement from K2 Promotions. "From the opening round I was comfortable with the fight and felt good about my power and the pace of the fight. He was a tough opponent but I was never hurt." Golovkins powerful right sent the Ghana boxer to the canvas at the end of the first round. A quick left hook knocked Adama down in the sixth, forcing an eight count. Golovkin put Adama down again with a left jab in the seventh for another count before a left hook prompted the referee to stop the fight. Adamas record dropped to 22-4. Golovkin has scored 16 straight knockouts and is seeking a top boxer for his next bout. "I want to fight Sergio Martinez to prove whos the best middleweight," Golovkin said in the ring. Promoter Tom Loeffler said they "have offers out to three HBO-approved fighters for April 26 at Madison Square Garden." Brett Favre Jersey .

John Cominsky Falcons Jersey . -- Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf has been suspended two games for his hit from behind on Kevan Miller of the Bruins.CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will avoid facing Cam Newton for the second time this season.The first time didnt work out so well.Derek Anderson returns to the starting lineup for Carolina while Newton recovers from two fractures in his lower back sustained Tuesday when his truck overturned during a two-car accident that left him hospitalized.Anderson started the season opener against the Bucs and turned in a solid, methodical performance, completing 24 of 34 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns in a 20-14 win.Its obviously not an ideal situation to lose your starting quarterback, especially in this manner, but we have all the confidence in the world in Derek Anderson, said tight end Greg Olsen, who caught eight passes and a touchdown in the last meeting.Newtons playing status will be reevaluated next week.Anderson said hes prepared and ready to play. He warned the Panthers (4-8-1) cant simply expect to show up and beat the Buccaneers (2-11) because they have a better record.Yeah, theyre 2-and-whatever, but theyve been in every single game, Anderson said of Tampa Bay. They play hard. Theyre scratching and fighting, just like we are every single week. So its not like we just roll it out there and say, Hey, we beat them once. Were going to beat them again.Andersons record as an NFL starter is 19-25.The one game I saw him play in person, he played like a starting quarterback, Bucs coach Lovie Smith said.Despite their record, the Panthers still have plenty at stake. Theyre a half-game behind Atlanta and New Orleans in the NFC South with three games remaining. If the Panthers win all three and the Saints lose one, theyll repeat as NFC South champions. They would join the Seattle Seahawks as the only team in NFL history to reach the post-season with a losing record in a non-strike-shortened season.The Seahawks won a post-season game in 2010 after finishing 7-9. They lost in the NFC divisional playoffs.Its not like teams that get in with (poor) records like that dont deserve to be in it if theyre going to go around and win their first-round gaame, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said.ddddddddddddThings to look for Sunday between the Bucs and Panthers:McCOWN STICKS AS STARTER: Despite Tampa Bays struggles, Smith is sticking with veteran Josh McCown as his starting quarterback. There were some mumblings about Smith possibly turning to Mike Glennon down the stretch with the Bucs out of playoff contention. Were not looking at guys. Just like every other week — the guys that start are the guys that I think give us the best chance to win, Smith said. Thats not going to change.ROOKIES RECEIVERS: Both teams feature outstanding rookie wide receivers. The Panthers have Kelvin Benjamin, who has 59 receptions for 848 yards and nine touchdowns. The Bucs employ Mike Evans, who has 57 catches for 935 yards and 10 touchdowns.I see Mike Evans doing a lot of things that Vincent Jackson was doing when he was younger, Rivera said. Hes a dynamic football player, hes a playmaker (and) hes physical.RUNNING STRONG: Its a little perplexing that Rivera refuses to name Jonathan Stewart the starter, even after he put up 155 yards rushing against the Saints. Rivera seems wary about upsetting the franchises all-time leading rusher DeAngelo Williams, who is recovering from a broken hand. Williams status for Sunday remains up in the air after he missed last week.LOOKING TO REPEAT: The Panthers finally put everything together last Sunday in a 41-10 rout of the Saints in New Orleans, helping them snap a seven-game winless streak. The big emphasis we had going into the game was just get off to a better start, get off to a fast start, Olsen said. ... We accomplished just that and it seemed to kind of set the stage for the rest of the day.HARDY ABSENT: The Panthers wont have defensive end Greg Hardy for this game. Hardy helped hold the Bucs scoreless in the season opener for three quarters before Tampa Bay added two late touchdowns to make the game close. Hardy remains the commissioners exempt list awaiting an appeal on a domestic violence conviction.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
