Junior welterweight Jose Ramirez, a 2012 U.S. Olympian and one of boxings top prospects, will face late replacement opponent Issouf Volcano Kinda in the main event of Top Ranks Solo Boxeo card Friday (UniMas, 11 p.m. ET/PT).Ramirez was due to defend his regional belt against Gabriel Tito Bracero in the scheduled 10-round fight that would have been a major step up in competition. However, Top Rank announced Monday that Bracero (24-3, 5 KOs), 35, of Brooklyn, New York, was out and Kinda (18-3, 7 KOs), 28, of the Bronx, New York, had taken his place.?No matter who the opponent, every fight will be important for Jose Ramirez at this stage of his career, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said. I know he will have a tough challenge ahead of him on Dec. 2.The fight will take place at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California, where Ramirez, who is from nearby Avenal, California, is a big draw. Top Rank said it expects a sold-out crowd regardless of Ramirezs opponent. The last time Ramirez (18-0, 13 KOs) fought at the Save Mart Center, in an eight-round decision win over Johnny Garcia in December 2015, also in a Solo Boxeo main event, he sold out the 13,100-seat arena.No specific reason was given for Braceros withdrawal, but Top Rank said it had been told he had not been in the gym training in recent weeks.Ramirez, 24, said he was a bit surprised that his opponent would change the week of the fight.I didnt know things like this happened in the pros, Ramirez said. I saw it in the amateurs but not in the pros. But I have been working really hard, and Im ready for whoever its in the opposite side of the ring.Said Rick Mirigian, Ramirezs adviser: Bracero obviously had second thoughts about fighting Ramirez, but the show must go on.In March 2015, Kinda stepped up in class and was stopped in the sixth round by former lightweight world title challenger Ismael Barroso. Kinda returned after a 14-month layoff and won a six-round majority decision over then-unbeaten Zack Ramsey in May and has not fought since.Theres no task too tall for Issouf Kinda. He is survivor, said Jimmy Burchfield Sr., Kindas promoter. He moved to the United States nearly a decade ago [from Burkina Faso] without a penny to his name and has since developed into one of the toughest, hardest-working, most-avoided 140-pounders in boxing. Traveling to Fresno to face a former U.S. Olympian in his own backyard would unnerve most fighters, but not Issouf Kinda.Hes had to adapt and adjust his whole life. Hes the perpetual underdog, and he will shock the world on Dec. 2. Hes been yearning for this opportunity, and he wont disappoint. Gabriel Braceros loss will be Kindas gain on Dec. 2.

Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games. SAN FRANCISCO -- Matt Moore hasnt been the elixir for the San Francisco Giants second-half struggles.Gregory Polanco had a homer and four RBI, Ryan Vogelsong won in his return to AT&T Park and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat Moore and the Giants 8-5 on Monday night.The left-handed Moore (0-2) allowed five runs over six innings and is still seeking his first victory since being acquired prior to the Aug. 1 trade deadline from Tampa Bay.Im capable of better things than what happened tonight, said Moore, who was 7-7 with a 4.08 ERA with the Rays.The big blow came in the top of the sixth. Moore walked Jung Ho Kang with two outs and nobody on, and then Gregory Polanco hit a two-run homer on a first-pitch fastball.The location was a bad miss, Moore said. It wound up staying over the middle of the plate, it was supposed to be more on the outside corner, more of a chase pitch actually, and (Polanco) was aggressive and he got it.That was the biggest mistake of the night, he added.Denard Span had three hits, including a home run, and Eduardo Nunez also homered for the Giants.Andrew McCutchen had two hits and two RBI and made a spectacular diving, backhanded catch in the eighth to rob Nunez of a hit with two runners in scoring position.In the beginning Im thinking he cant get the ball, Nunez said. You have to give some credit to McCutchen, thats why hes one of the best, because he can make the catch that not a lot of guys can make in that situation.San Francisco remains in first place in the NL West, a half-game ahead of the idle Dodgers.Vogelsong (2-2), who spent parts of seven seasons with the Giants and won two World Series, allowed four runs over 5 2/3 innings. He walked three and struck out one.An All-Star with San Francisco in 2011, Vogelsong was greeted with an extended ovation when he took the mound in the first inning, and a video montage of his time with the Giants played on the scoreboard as he warmed.When he left aftter allowing Spans home run in the sixth, Vogelsong paused on his way to the dugout and tipped his cap to the crowd.ddddddddddddThere are moments in these games that you want to hold on to and remember for the rest of your life. Tonight was one of those for me, Vogelsong said. It was amazing.Polanco hit a two-run double off Moore in the fourth, then drove in two more runs with his 17th home run in the sixth.Francisco Cervelli singled, walked twice and made a sparkling defensive play to tag out a runner at home to help Vogelsong win for the first time since coming off the 60-day DL after being hit in the face with a pitch on May 23.Tony Watson, the fourth Pirates reliever, retired three batters for his sixth save.Vogelsong got off to a rough start when he walked Joe Panik with the bases loaded in the first inning, then gave up an RBI single to Hunter Pence in the third.San Francisco missed a chance to add on when Pence overran third base on Nunezs double and was thrown out while scrambling back to the bag.DOWN ... AND OUTPence made a spectacular defensive play when he caught Josh Harrisons foul ball while on his back after stumbling on the mound in the visiting teams bullpen.TRAINERS ROOMPirates: Starling Marte was back in the lineup after sitting Sunday with a sore upper back.Giants: Buster Posey sat for the second straight game due to tightness in his lower back. Posey has been bothered by the issue since the teams flight back from Miami on Sunday.UP NEXTPirates: Jameson Taillon (3-2) faces the Giants for the first time in his career Tuesday night. The right-hander has allowed one earned run over his previous 14 innings.Giants: RHP Jeff Samardzija (10-8) makes his second start against Pittsburgh this season. The Pirates knocked Samardzija out of the game after three innings on June 22. ' ' '
