RIO DE JANEIRO -- His focus seemingly unflappable, Shakur Stevenson was briefly distracted when he heard a familiar voice as he walked out for his Olympic bout.Augie! Augie!Floyd Mayweather Jr. was in the house and shouting at U.S. boxing assistant coach Augie Sanchez.Stevenson had been bummed out when he was told Mayweather had left the Rio de Janeiro Games. Turned out, the rumor was false and one of Stevensons biggest fans had the best seat in the arena to watch the top U.S. prospect continue his medal run.I got a little more nervous again, Stevenson said.Stevenson, who is from Newark, New Jersey, calmed his nerves and made a lasting impression on Mayweather with a convincing win over Mongolian fighter Tsendbaatar Erdenebat. The retired, undefeated Mayweather went wild for the 19-year-old Stevenson in a unanimous decision victory that guaranteed him a medal.And why not? Mayweather saw Stevenson fight with a style in the ring that reminded him of another great fighter.I see the next Floyd Mayweather, Mayweather said. If anybody can break my records, this young kid right here can do it. I truly believe in him.Mayweather believed in Stevenson (24-0 in international competition) so much that he expected more than gold for Stevenson -- Money May wanted the prized prospect on his blossoming Mayweather Promotions roster. Of course, hell have to compete with other promoters to grab the best U.S. amateur.When I saw him at my gym, I said, `Who is this guy? I want to sign him instantly, Mayweather said. I thought he was a professional. They said he was an amateur but hes got a professional style. Hes the No. 1 guy, of course, that Im interested in.All eyes were on Mayweather more than any fighter in the ring.Mayweather is still the undisputed top attraction at the boxing tournament in what was at least his third visit to the venue. The U.S. bronze medalist at the 1996 Atlanta Games smiled when he was shown and introduced on the big screen to a roaring ovation. Dozens of fans hurried his way for selfies. He never removed the earbuds attached to his mobile phone when he posed for a few fans.They were quickly shooed away and blocked off by members of Mayweathers friends known as TMT: The Money Team.Mayweather invited Popo Freitas, a former Brazilian boxing world champion, down to his seat for a quick chat.Mayweather enjoyed the fights, first from the front row of the corner of the bleacher seats, then he moved to dead center for the two American bouts.The 39-year-old Mayweather retired last year after a 49-0 career. The International Boxing Association (AIBA) changed its rules this year to allow professionals to fight at the Olympics, but Mayweather had no interest.He also ruled out a comeback.Im an old man, he said, laughing. Im treating my body good, being smart. I was still able to compete at the top level for 20 years. Ive done a lot in boxing. I just want to give back to young champions right here.Stevenson (wearing a Team Shakur shirt) and some friends and family joined Mayweather in the stands and posed for even more pictures.But Mayweathers A-list pull might not be enough to convince Stevenson to join the team. Stevenson is widely expected to sign a professional contract in the fall with Top Rank Boxing.Stevensons grandfather, Wali Moses, began teaching him how to box when he was 5, and he has barely lost since he won his first fight at 8. Stevensons mother, Malikah, named him after Tupac Shakur, the rapper and social activist who died nine months before her first son was born. Stevenson mostly avoided trouble on Newarks tough streets, and his grandfathers steady influence kept him devoted to his sport.Stevenson remains the brightest candidate to win the first mens gold medal in 12 years from once-proud USA Boxing.Andre Ward was the last American man to claim the top prize with at the 2004 Athens Games, and the London mens team failed to win any medals.Kansas fighter Nico Hernandez snapped the medal drought last week with a bronze.Stevenson has Russian fighter Vladimir Nikitin up next and the winner goes for gold.He was all smiles Tuesday when he had Mayweather by his side as they fought through a mob to escape the arena. Its even better for Mayweather to have his back.Its everything, Stevenson said. Thats the greatest of all time. Olivier Giroud Chelsea Jersey .

AUSTIN, Texas -- Former Baylor University President Ken Starr resigned his post as a law school professor Friday, severing his last tie with the faith-based campus still reeling from a sexual assault scandal involving its football team.Starr, an ex-prosecutor best known nationally for zealously pursuing charges against former U.S. President Bill Clinton in a 1990s White House sex scandal, had in more recent years been a high-profile face of Baylor. But he lost his job as president in May and later stepped down as chancellor amid allegations the school in the central Texas city of Waco mishandled several cases in which football players were accused of attacking women.Successful football coach Art Briles also was ousted.Baylor, the nations largest Baptist university, said in a joint statement issued with Starr that he will be leaving his faculty status and tenure with the law school in a separation that was mutually agreed upon. It was Starrs final remaining Baylor positon.Baylor wishes Judge Ken Starr well in his future endeavors, the statement said. Judge Starr expresses his thanks to the Baylor family for the opportunity to serve as president and chancellor and is grateful for his time with the exceptional students of Baylor University who will lead and serve around the world.Last year, Starr ordered an investigation by the Pepper Hamilton law firm to review Baylors handling of sexual assault cases after months in which he stayed mostly silent on the issue. Starr took over as the universitys president in 2010, about a decade after he invvestigated Clintons sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.ddddddddddddStarrs demotion from all but the law school professorship followed the law firms scathing 13-page summary report that found Baylor, under Starrs leadership, did little to respond to accusations of sexual assault involving football players.Investigators said football coaches and athletics administrators at the school had run their own improper investigations into rape claims and that, in some cases, they chose not to report such allegations to an administrator outside of athletics.By mounting their own untrained investigations and meeting directly with a complainant, football staff improperly discredited complainants claims and denied them a right to a fair, impartial and informed investigation.Investigators also found that Baylor was too slow to enact federally required student-conduct processes, and that administrators failed to identify and eliminate a potential hostile environment for victims.The football team nonetheless enjoyed unprecedented success recently, including two Big 12 championships in the last three years. In 2014, Baylor opened a new, $250 million on-campus football stadium.Starr had been a high-profile fan and often ran on the football field with Baylor students in pregame ceremonies. But as sexual assault investigations began, Starr provided only brief comments -- even as criticism began to intensify. ' ' '
