Baron Davis looks as slim as he's ever looked. "Just getting ready for training camp," he said. "It's the lightest I've ever been - under 213 - in a long time. I ain't been like that since my rookie year. I'm feeling good."

Score tied. One round to go. A shot at an Olympic boxing gold medal at stake. Apparently only US coach Basheer Abdullah didn&#39;t know his 178-pound fighter, Andre Ward, was even with
