GOLD COAST, Australia (AP) — Tim Tszyu retained his WBO interim super-welterweight title with a stunning first round knockout of Mexican Carlos Ocampo on Sunday.It took the Australian just 77 seconds to knock Ocampo down and successfully defend the belt he claimed with a ninth-round stoppage of American Tony Harrison in Sydney in March.Tszyu first knocked down Ocampo with a big right before finishing the Mexican with a left hook to the delight of the parochial home crowd at the Gold Coast Convention Centre to extend his undefeated record to 23 wins from 23 fights with a 17th KO.“I copped a lot of different adversities going into this fight so for me it was all about getting the job done, just pushing through,” Tszyu said. “I didn’t think it was going to be this early because this guy’s a warrior.

DAUPHIN, Man. — Residents of Dauphin, Man., are expected to seek solace at church services today as they mourn 15 community members who died in a highway crash that also left 10 gravely injured. Father Brent Kuzyk of St. George’s Ukrainian Orthodox Church says part of his liturgy is to be dedicated to victims of the crash. He says he plans to offer prayers for those who died and speak to the community’s overall suffering. The Ukrainian church is among many places of worship in Dauphin that are to address the tragedy during their regular Sunday services. Deacon Frances Stewart of St. Paul’s Anglican Church says she will offer a moment of silence for those who died. She says now is a time to offer comfort and be compassionate as people grieve. “As Christians, we have this wonderful hope, this wonderful promise of the life to come. But at this stage, the important thing is to just get through the first few days and then to be there for the months and years to come,” Stewart said....
