I think it’s going to be a great fight but it won’t last too long, and someone will get knocked out.” Pacquiao, who hasn’t won by knockout since 2009, said he has a few strategies to handle Horn, who is unbeaten in 17 fights since turning pro in 2013. The 38-year- old Philippines senator has knocked sparring partners down in training and said he’s feeling better than he has in a while. Roach said the training camp has been more like a vintage Pacquiao preparation. “The thing is, in sparring, we haven’t had knockdowns and knockouts in a long time. This time we did,” the leg- endary trainer said. “Manny has been his old self, having fun and doing what he does C M best.” The fight is being Y K dubbed the “Battle of Bris- bane” and will be staged at the outdoor Suncorp Stadium, with an expected crowd of more than 50,000.

From my perspective, I wasn’t even thinking about it.” Travis Shaw’s three-run shot off Tim Adleman (5-4) gave Milwaukee a 5-4 lead in the third inning. But Suarez responded with his 12th homer in the bottom half, stopping a 0-for-13 slide. “My mechanics have been good,” Suarez said. “There was nothing wrong with my swing. It was more mental. When you’re not getting hits, you think too much. I have been trying to get a good pitch in the strike zone to hit. I tell myself if it isn’t in the strike zone, don’t swing at it.” Gennett led off the fifth with a base hit and Votto followed with a drive to right-center off Junior Guerra for his 21st homer. The 2010 NL MVP is batting .304 with 55 RBIs. Adleman (5-4) tied his career high by allowing three home runs in five innings. He surrendered five hits, struck out seven and walked three. Tony Cingrani and Michael Lorenzen combined for two scoreless innings before Raisel Iglesias pitched the ninth for his 13th save. C M Guerra (1-2) set a career Y K high by allowing eight runs in four-plus innings. He also tied his career high by giving up eight hits in his seventh start since returning on May 26 after missing almost two months with a right calf strain. “I was getting behind in the count most of the game and missing spots,” Guerra said through an interpreter. “When that happens and you get behind, you saw the results.” Hamilton lined Guerra’s third pitch into the first row of the seats in right for his second homer. Duvall hit a two-run shot and Devin Mesoraco added an RBI single as Cincinnati jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first. samoa news, Wednesday, June 28, 2017 Page B9 Taofia Ofisa LeLe Soifua Maloloina le LaliLali tatalaina i lalo

HOSPITAL PATIENT RECEIVES SURPRISE ANATOMY LESSON

DEAR ABBY: I recently had to spend a night in the hospital following minor surgery. One of the female techs taking care of me leaned over me to straighten out the bedding and I could see “everything” when the top of her scrubs fell open. I’m not sure if it was on purpose or by accident. I say this because after the first time, it happened several more times. I only looked the first time out of shock. The other times, I looked away. Other than saying, “Hey, lady, I can see your boobies when you bend over,” what’s the polite way to say, “Oops -- wardrobe malfunction”? -- GOT AN EYEFUL IN ILLINOIS DEAR GOT AN EYEFUL: Since, with luck, you won’t have to make another visit to the hospital, I think your question may be moot. However, the discreet way to deal with something like that would be to mention what hap- pened to the head nurse or supervisor and say that it made you uncomfortable. ** ** ** DEAR ABBY: I’m in my early 30s and recently met a very attractive woman my age. We are planning to get married. She wants us to be married as soon as possible because she has been divorced for the last seven years. My problem is, she’s extremely secretive about her past, especially the period between her divorce and our meeting. I have been open with her about my past, but when I ask about hers, she refuses to discuss it and says it has nothing to do with our relationship. I have a feeling there may be something nasty she’s hiding. I’m afraid I’m heading into a trap, but my love for her makes it tough to consider breaking up. Am I being too demanding? -- CONCERNED GUY IN THE SOUTH DEAR CONCERNED GUY: If your intuition is screaming that your girlfriend’s desire for a hasty marriage could spell trouble in the future, you should pay close attention to it. It is not “too demanding” to want to know what one’s fiancee has been doing for the last seven years. Under no circumstances should you marry this woman without first talking to a lawyer, who I am sure will suggest doing a background check and/or drafting an ironclad prenuptial agreement. ** ** ** DEAR ABBY: I recently attended a bridal shower for my nephew’s fiancee. My sister-in-law (the future mother-in-law of the bride) also attended the shower. She did not choose any gifts from the bride’s registry, but decided instead to give the bride lingerie, including thong underwear. Frankly, I was shocked. I didn’t think it was appropriate for either the mother or the future mother-in-law to give such intimate gifts. Am I wrong? -- FLUMMOXED IN FLORIDA DEAR FLUMMOXED: Shower guests are not restricted to items based solely upon the couple’s registry. They can give whatever gift they wish to the bride and groom. Your sister-in-law chose something she thought the bride and groom would enjoy. Please try to be less judgmental and hope she was right. samoa news, Wednesday, June 28, 2017 Page B15 Page B16 samoa news, Wednesday, June 28, 2017 Beltre’s 9th- inning homer lifts Rangers
