LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP)

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez got on his knees to check on Amir Khan after knock-

ing him unconscious with a big right hand in the sixth round of their title fight.

Then he went over to check on some future business with fellow middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin, who was watching ringside.

‘’I invited him to come into the ring,’’ Alvarez said. ‘’Right now I will put the gloves on again.’’

It’s a fight both Golovkin and boxing fans have been waiting for to happen, though the weight could be an issue. Alvarez wants the bout to be less than the 160-pound middleweight limit, while Golovkin, who holds his own piece of the middleweight crown, vows to fight at his best weight.

‘’I am old school,’’ Golovkin said just

before the fight. ‘’Middleweight is 160. I respect the sport of boxing.’’

Against Khan, Alvarez needed only

one big right hand to turn a close fight into a smashing knockout that left the British challenger out cold on his back in the middle of the ring.

S t r u g g l i n g with Khan’s speed, Alvarez unleashed a long right hand that send Khan backward on the canvas, where referee Kenny Bayless didn’t even bother to count him out at 2:37 of the sixth round.

A l v a r e z retained his piece of the middleweight title, but it was not without some nervous moments for his fans who packed the new T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip. Khan was more than holding his own in a tactical fight when the right hand suddenly ended it.

‘’People have known me only for my power,’’ Alvarez said. ‘’I have many more qualities in the ring and I showed that. I think people saw more of me.’’

Khan, a 6-1 underdog, had vowed to use his speed to confound Alvarez and his plan seemed to be working. He fought in spurts, landing combinations and seemingly frustrating Alvarez with his movement.

But a right hand that came out of nowhere landed flush against Khan’s chin, and he was out before he hit the canvas.

‘’I was getting in the ring with a big guy,’’ Khan said. ‘’Unfortunately, I didn’t make it to the end.’’

Alvarez was making the first defense of the WBC title he won from Miguel Cotto last November, though the fight was fought at a catch weight of 155 pounds. The WBC has said it will take the title away from Alvarez if he does not begin talks for a fight with Golovkin within 15 days.

‘’I don’t fear anyone,’’ Alvarez said. ‘’We don’t come to play in this sport.’’

STATE

SEATTLE, Washington (AP)

Seattle’s mayor and an investor have condemned sports fans’ sexist attacks against the mostly

female City Council after its vote side-tracked a proposed arena project aimed at luring the NBA back to the city.

All five women on the nine-member council voted this week against selling a street to investor Chris Hansen, compli-cating his plan to build an arena to house a professional basketball or hockey team. The four men backed the proposal.

Many attacked the councilwomen on social media and through emails, often with profanity-laced or sexually graphic insults. Most said the female officials didn’t back the plan because women don’t like sports, with one saying they would have approved the sale if it was for a nee-dlepoint museum.

No councilwomen offered an official statement addressing the comments, Dana Robinson Slote, a council spokes-woman, said Thursday. But Hansen and Mayor Ed Murray spoke out.

“While we may not agree with the council’s vote, misogynistic insults, vile comments and threats are unacceptable and need to stop,” Hansen said in a state-ment Wednesday.

Mayor Ed Murray, who urged the council to vacate the stretch of Occiden-

tal Avenue in Seattle’s SoDo District, said the gender-based attacks must stop.

“The disappointment some felt at the outcome of the vote is understandable, but what is not understandable is to bring gender into the conversation,” he said. “It is wrong.”

Hansen wants to bring the NBA back to Seattle after the SuperSonics left for Oklahoma City following the 2007-08 season and was renamed the Thunder. Hansen’s bid to acquire the street was seen as the last major step toward getting the permit needed to allow arena con-struction to start.

A memorandum of understanding with the city and King County requires Hansen to get an NBA team through relocation or league expansion before late 2017 for him to get $200 million in public financing for the $490 million arena project.

Councilwoman Lorena Gonzalez voted against the proposal in part because of concerns from the Port of Seattle that it could infringe on nearby industrial activ-ities.

“I am wholeheartedly in support of bringing NBA and NHL teams to the city of Seattle,” Gonzalez said before the vote Monday. “I hope that we can do so without further compromising the vital-ity of the port and our rich maritime and industrial history in this city.”

LATIN AMERICAJudge says ‘El Chapo’ extradition to U.S. may proceed

MEXICO CITY (AP)

A federal judge has ruled that the extradition of drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman

can move ahead, Mexico’s Judicial Council said Monday. But the country’s Foreign Relations Department must still approve it and the defense can appeal.

The council, which oversees Mexico’s federal judges and tribunals, said the judge, who it did not name, had agreed that the legal requirements laid out in the extradition treaty between the two coun-tries had been met.

The Foreign Relations Department has 20 days to decide whether to approve Guzman’s extradition to the United States.

Any extradition attempt can be delayed or stopped by a request to the court by attorneys for the Sinaloa cartel leader.

Guzman was moved Saturday from a prison outside Mexico City to one in Ciudad Juarez near the U.S. border. Ques-tions have arisen on both sides of the border about the decision to relocate the convicted drug lord to a region that is one

of his cartel’s strongholds.A Mexican security official acknowl-

edged Sunday that the sudden transfer was to a less-secure prison.

The official said that in general the Cefereso No. 9 prison on the outskirts of Ciudad Juarez, across from El Paso, Texas, is not as impregnable as the maximum-security Altiplano facility near Mexico City where he had been held. The official wasn’t authorized to discuss Guzman’s case publicly and agreed to do so only if not quoted by name.

The official said, however, that Guzman is being held in a maximum-secu-rity wing where the same protocols are being enforced as in Altiplano, including 24-hour monitoring via a camera in his cell. Altiplano is considered the country’s highest-security prison.

“El Chapo” first broke out of another prison in 2001 and spent more than a decade on the run, becoming one of the world’s most-wanted fugitives. He was recaptured in 2014, but slipped out of Altiplano, which many previously had thought was unescapable, in July 2015 by

fleeing through a sophisticated, mile-long tunnel that went up into the shower in his cell.

Mexican marines re-arrested him in the western state of Sinaloa in January, after he fled a safe house through a storm drain.

He was returned to Altiplano, where he was placed under constant observation from a ceiling camera with no blind spots, and the floors of top-security cells were reinforced with metal bars and a 16-inch (40-centimeter) layer of concrete.

Some Mexican media have speculated that the weekend move was a prelude to imminent extradition to the U.S., where he faces drug charges in seven jurisdic-tions. But authorities denied that.

Guzman was notified of the judge’s decision on Sunday evening, a judicial authority speaking on condition of ano-nymity told The Associated Press. The official was not authorized to be identi-fied.

The drug lord’s attorney Jose Refugio Rodriguez told the AP that he would con-tinue trying to block the extradition.

He said that if the Foreign Depart-ment approves extradition, the defense will have 30 working days to seek a court order blocking a move to take his client to the U.S. to be prosecuted on drug charges.

Rodriguez also said he would seek to have Guzman returned to Altiplano prision, arguing that his client’s defense will suffer because his attorneys are based so far away from where he is held.

Multiple analysts have told the AP that there was no sign of a link between the prison switch and extradition.

maximum security prison in Mexico.

NATIONALPuerto Rico’s economic crisis: How it happened, what’s next

WASHINGTON (AP)

One bond payment missed, another looms for debt-ridden Puerto Rico as Congress fights

over how to help the U.S. territory and its 3.5 million Americans.

Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew traveled to the island on Monday to highlight the impact of the financial crisis and increase the pressure on lawmakers to act.

The territory missed a nearly $370 million bond payment last week, the largest in a series of missed payments since last year. Puerto Rico has payments totaling nearly $2 billion due on July 1, including about $700 million in general obligation bonds that are supposed to be guaranteed under the island’s constitu-tion.

Further complicating lawmakers’ efforts to steer the U.S. territory away from eco-nomic collapse are ads airing nationwide that claim the legislation amounts to a financial bailout, even though the bill has no direct financial aid.

Some House conservatives have latched

onto that argument, making it difficult for Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to garner enough support for the bill. Natural Resources Committee Chairman Rob Bishop, R-Utah, says he is reworking the bill, and a new version would come this week.

The AP explains Puerto Rico’s debt crisis, what’s happening in Congress and the outside forces.

PUERTO RICO’S IN BAD SHAPEPuerto Rico’s government is running

out of money. Agricultural revenue has diminished and federal tax incentives that lured manufacturers were phased out by Congress a decade ago.

The territory’s financial problems grew worse as a result of setbacks in the wider U.S. economy, and government spend-ing in Puerto Rico continued unchecked. Borrowing covered increasing deficits and bonds were sold on special terms. More than 200,000 people have left Puerto Rico in the past five years, reducing the island’s tax base.

IT’S ALL ABOUT PERCEPTIONRyan is lobbying his House Republican

caucus to support the legislation, which would create a control board to help manage the island’s $70 billion debt and to oversee some debt restructuring. Ryan says Congress is staunchly opposed to a bailout, but the U.S. could ultimately be responsible if Congress doesn’t act soon to prevent collapse.

Some lawmakers are claiming the opposite.

“This could be a first step toward a bailout,” said Louisiana Rep. John Fleming, a GOP member of the House Natural Resources Committee, which will

have to approve the bill before it moves to the floor.

Bishop, the Utah lawmaker supporting the measure to help Puerto Rico, says “the goal is to make sure that everyone is paid, and not just a few people are paid.”

ADS CREATE ANGSTSome of the ads run by the Center for

Individual Freedom have specifically tar-geted Bishop and Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy, the bill’s sponsor. New ads that started Friday feature a Puerto Rican bondholder named Theresa who says she will lose her life savings if the House bill becomes law.

The group is organized as a politically active nonprofit that doesn’t have to dis-close its donors.

As of last week, the group had spent an estimated $1.9 million so far this month, according to advertising tracker Kantar Media’s CMAG.

Bishop has also continued negotiations with Democrats, Puerto Rican officials and the Obama administration.

In the Senate, Republicans say they are waiting to see what happens in the House.

SPORTS

SEATTLE, Washington (AP)

Through the first eight games of the season, neither Clint Dempsey nor Jordan Morris

had a goal in the same game for the Seattle Sounders.

On Saturday night, the World Cup veteran and the star rookie both found the back of the net.

Dempsey rocketed in a shot from straight in front of the goal in the 26th minute, and Morris scored for the fourth straight contest, and the Sounders beat the San Jose Earthquakes 2-0.

Dempsey’s goal, from just beyond the top of the penalty spot, was his second of the season.

Morris scored from the top of the penalty area restraining arc in the 89th minute. That tied the MLS record for con-secutive games with a goal for a rookie. Damani Ralph did it for the Chicago Fire in 2003, and Patrick Mullins matched it for the New England Revolution in 2014.

‘’It’s always nice to get a goal, but all that matters is the three points,’’ said Morris, who picked up an assist on Dempsey’s goal. ‘’Clint had a great game and a really good finish. We’re on a good streak, and we just have to keep it going.’’

Added coach Sigi Schmid, ‘’Jordan did a good job with Clint in terms of dropping and going, so they were hard to pick up.’’

The Sounders (4-4-1) have points in five of their last six games (4-1-1).

‘’We created some more chances in the attacking third and still kept it tight in the back,’’ Dempsey said. ‘’Tonight, we probably could have scored more than what we did. But we’re moving in the right direc-tion, and hopefully, we can keep building.’’

WASHINGTON (AP)

In his first remarks about Donald Trump’s status as the GOP’s pre-sumptive nominee, President

Barack Obama on Friday urged the media to undertake tougher scrutiny of presi-dential candidates.

“We are in serious times and this is a really serious job,” Obama said at the White House. “This is not entertainment; this is not a reality show.”

Obama suggested that Trump’s rise was enabled by a press that focuses on the friv-olous.

“What I’m concerned about is the degree to which reporting and informa-tion starts emphasizing the spectacle and the circus,” Obama said, simultaneously acknowledging the GOP nominee is a spectacle and placing partial blame on the media for creating him.

“That’s not something we can afford. And the American people, they’ve got

good judgment; they’ve got good instincts, as long as they get good information.”

With his brief comments, tagged on the end of remarks about the economy, Obama inched closer to engagement in a race he has tried to keep at a safe distance. The president tipped his hand at his likely line of attack on the likely GOP nominee, a former reality TV star, and he delicately weighed in on a prolonged contest in his own party.

The White House has said Obama will be a regular presence on the campaign trail for the Democratic nominee once his party coalesces around a single candi-date. Asked about the Democratic fight, Obama wasn’t ready to directly urge Sen. Bernie Sanders to get out of the race, but he suggested the writing was on the wall.

“Let’s let the process play itself out,” Obama said, when asked whether it was time for Sanders to call it quits. Then he added: “I think everybody knows what that math is.”

Obama on Trump: This is not a reality show Dear Dave,

Are annuities good for long-term retirement? —

Quincy

Dear Quincy,

The short answer is no. There might be a rare

exception when I’d use a variable annuity — which

is a mutual fund inside of an annuity — but as

a rule I don’t use annuities. And I certainly don’t

use fixed annuities for anything, because they’re

just crap. Basically, they’re a CD with a huge set of

fees. It’s just an insurance agent’s product, really.

The place for variable annuities might be when

you’ve got everything else maxed out and your

house is paid off. If you’ve reached that point, you

can talk to your advisor about some of the pos-

sible benefits of a variable annuity. You can leave

a beneficiary on it, so that it passes outside of

probate, and you’ve got some principle guarantees

and return guarantees that are decent. The returns

are a little lower, though, because you’ll get hit with

both the annuity fee and the mutual fund fee.

So, by and large the answer is no for most people,

because they don’t have their house paid off and

aren’t maxing out all other retirement options. If

you’re doing all that, and you want to do some-

thing in this area, then I might think about it. —
