Former IBF flyweight champion Amnat Ruenroeng of Thailand won his first bout Monday at an Olympic qualifying tournament in Vargas, Venezuela.U.S. contenders Cam F. Awesome, Paul Kroll and Brandon Lynch lost their opening bouts, failing to earn spots at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics next month.The 36-year-old Ruenroeng fought at the Beijing Olympics, falling one win shy of a medal. Four years after mounting a successful professional career, he is one of just two moderately prominent pro boxers attempting to take advantage of the International Boxing Associations (AIBA) decision to allow pros to compete in the Olympics by jumping into the final qualifying tournament before Rio.Ruenroeng won his bout in Venezuela against Germanys Artur Bril, who fights in an AIBA-backed professional league. Ruenroeng lost his IBF title less than six weeks ago when John Riel Casimero stopped him.Awesome lost a decision to Ecuadorian heavyweight Julio Cesar Castillo Torres, who also beat him at the previous Olympic qualifying tournament in Azerbaijan last month. Awesome is a four-time U.S. national champion and a two-time Olympic trials champion, but he missed his first Olympic shot four years ago when he failed to complete his drug tests while still fighting under his birth name, Lenroy Thompson.Lost my fight today and now my Olympic run is over, the 27-year-old Awesome said in a post on his Twitter account. Time to re-re-reinvent myself and see whats next for me. It may not be boxing.Awesome has expressed skepticism about becoming a professional, preferring the Olympic-style version of the sport.Kroll also lost a 3-0 decision to Germanys Arajik Marutjan in a welterweight bout, ending the Philadelphia-based fighters Olympic hopes.Lynch lost a decision to Ukraines Rostyslav Arkhypenko in their super heavyweight bout.Six American men and two women have qualified for Rio, but that could be the full extent of the team representing the U.S., the most successful nation in Olympic boxing history.While Claressa Shields won a gold medal and Marlen Esparza earned a bronze during the debut Olympic womens boxing tournament in London, the U.S. men won no medals in 2012 and just one bronze medal in 2008. Andre Ward is the last American man to win a gold medal, although the current team has legitimate medal hopes with bantamweight Shakur Stevenson and flyweight Antonio Vargas.U.S. light heavyweight Jonathan Esquivel beat Bulgarias Spas Genov in his opening bout in Venezuela, but Esquivels path to Rio is now blocked in his next bout by 32-year-old Hassan NDam. The French-Cameroonian fighter who briefly held two versions of an interim middleweight title is attempting to earn another trip to the Olympics after losing in the quarterfinals in Athens 12 years ago.Ruenroeng and NDam are the only significantly accomplished pros attempting to win this final qualifying tournament for the Rio Games under the AIBA rule change, which has drawn widespread condemnation from many fighters and coaches.After drawing initial interest from several pros including Manny Pacquiao and Wladimir Klitschko, AIBAs gambit apparently has failed to attract any big-name boxers into the field. Most boxing observers believe more prominent pros will fight at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Chris Lammons Jersey .

The Supreme Court of India has warned the BCCI that if it does not fall in line and follow the courts directive to implement the Lodha Committees recommendations, it will take measures to enforce them. The Chief Justice of India TS Thakur told the BCCIs lawyer that the board, which has been accused of stalling by the Lodha Committee, had one week to respond.BCCI thinks it is law unto itself, Thakur was quoted as saying by Indian Express. We know how to get our orders implemented. BCCI thinks it is the lord. You better fall in line or we will make you fall in line. The conduct of the BCCI is in poor taste.Thakur was responding to the status report submitted by the Lodha Committee on Wednesday. In its report, the Committee had asked the Supreme Court to supersede the BCCIs top brass with immediate effect because its officials had not complied with various timelines set by the committee to implement the recommendations passed by the Supreme Court order on July 18.BCCI, it seems, will go to the extent of defying court orders, Thakur said. We had been anticipating such disregard from the board. We dont appreciate such tactics by the BCCI. We have no difficulty in passing orders to make sure our previous orders are implemented.The Lodha Committee had asked the BCCI and its state associations to adopt the new Memorandum of Association and Rules by September 30. It had also sent the BCCI two sets of timelines with various deadlines to implement the recommendations within the six-month time frame set by the court.In the status report RM Lodha, the chairman of the committee, pointed out that the BCCI had not yet complied with seven timelines, and that it was unlikely the board would do so before the September 30 deadline.dddddddddddd The BCCI has called for a special general body meeting (SGM) on September 30, when board secretary Ajay Shirke said it would consider the amendments recommended by the Lodha Committee.According to a senior official privy to the meetings between the Lodha Committee and the BCCI, the SGM was the last chance for the board. The SGM is really their complete last chance to ensure compliance. If they havent got all those seven timelines in place and dont adopt the new rules and regulations, they will have no further chance.The BCCI has offered resistance to the Lodha Committees recommendations, having filed a review petition last month against the Supreme Courts order directing it to implement most of the recommendations. In the petition, the BCCI called the court order unreasoned and asked for the recusal of chief justice Thakur from its hearing. However, the petition has been lying in defect because the court raised technical objections to the petition and asked the BCCI to repair them.The Lodha Committee - comprising Lodha and retired Supreme Court judges Ashok Bhan and R Raveendran - was formed in January 2015 to determine appropriate punishments for some of the officials involved in the 2013 IPL corruption scandal, and also to propose changes to streamline the BCCI, reform its functioning, prevent sporting fraud and c
