The video mentioned they take 8 spots would the 100m relay take 8 too and would that put Mia Brahe-Pedersen in the relay pool too?

The BBC (British Board of Control) did this with the rematch of Wood vs Lara as Lara had to cut a dangerous weight and they wouldn't let Lara cut a huge amount of weight to make 126 and they allowed the fight to go on with only Wood having the ability to win the belt if he won the fight. I...

Good chance it is as he was world level finalist in the 200 meters and as you said a former short sprint relay gold medalist. I remember even in 88' a "track expert" was brought in to explain the Soviet victory with 4 "mediocre" sprinters. I don't recall any such talk when France set a new...

If she was a Bruce Gender type it would be a huge scandal and the media would be talking endlessly about her/his rights. She is just pushing the envelope with the testosterone ration at least if not on a PED stack that the current drug testing regiment can't test for. I agree she is scary...

For those not in the know The Stanios title defense against tough Mexican American Vergil Ortiz Jr. is off for the third time and I don't see this being rescheduled again. Two straight times Ortiz has been too sick to weigh in and I suspect it's for the same reasons this time as he is cutting...

His racing in the twilight of his career mirrors that of former world record holder Zola Budd. She was making appearances in semi pro races and winning them in her 40's after she disappeared from the scene due to a similar glass house public spot light. Still France has never produced any...

At least he's not receiving punches to the head or blows to his body but this has to be close to an all comers meet athlete as a 10.7 runner isn't anything close to world class and is only domestic level for poor sprinting countries like France. He's similar to a former NFL star playing in beer...

It was tee off time in the semifinal bout. I know Martin was a last minute replacement but he is a known entity and would be a better measuring stick than the defenseless Nigerian. There aren't many contenders out there that are going to fight this not so friendly giant unless it's for an...

Yes it's the chief support bout of the ESPN card headed by Anderson vs late sub Charles Martin. I have never heard of the Nigerian opponent of the colossus from the Russian hinterland. Judging off the record of the Nigerian he may be able to crack the colussus' chin but he could have...

I went outside this morning and assumed somebody was smoking cigarettes and then the smell lingered until the afternoon and figured it was the wildfire smoke again. Yes I remember when Los Angeles was one big smoggy haze and the California governor was contemplating driving limits in the...

I concur his chin is broken and his motor skills are fading badly and maybe his conditioning too as he was outworked by the Turk in his last fight and he had his burly Italian opponent ready to go but hit the wall and let him recoup his energy. It's only a matter of time before he starts...

Updating the DAZN card in the semifinal Joe Cusasmano rallied and used a second wind to batter around a fading Kownacki which forced a stoppage from either the ringside doctor or the veteran corner led by Steward. The fight had 3 clear momentum swings as the burly Sicilian dropped Adam late...

Strangely enough Canada had a relay runner who was similar in the 90's he was a mediocre individual runner who never made out of the early rounds but was a formidable bend runner. Glenroy Gilbert is now the national team relay coach and his exploits in the relay are the main reason that he was...

There are recent reports that the Wagner group headed by Yevgeny Prigozhin were headed to Moscow to storm the Kremlin. Since these wild reports of a rebellion/coup. Prigozhin has stated he is only withdrawing his troops to their bases in Southern Russia. For about half a day there has been...

Yes Quigley is the B side in a showcase fight against the PR fighter. This card has the return of Adam Kownacki against a human target in Joe Cusumano. Quigley is supposed to highlight Berlanga's power but Berlanga seems like he has hit the wall skills wise and there is reason why Bub Arum...

Updating the Huggins saga he was arrested for his second DUI and this arrest prompted an immediate tender of resignation as he was on a zero tolerance watch. The arrest was probably a cry for help and Huggins probably needs to dry out, according to one announcer on CBS sports it's known in the...

Yes he bowled over the chinny Mexican as I thought the bout would go. His bout against the undisputed Charlo is inching closer to a pick em bout and savvy betters will bet Tszyu with his power and youth. Also in the chief supporting bout Sam Goodman beat Ra’eese Aleem and secured an IBF...

Tim Tszyu has a near walk over interim title defense this weekend but aside from that and the Wach mismatch it's just prospects fighting on the undercard of the main events. I'm not sure if the Tszyu fight is OZ prime time or North American, if it's OZ then this fight could be Saturday morning...

Problem with this you literally can never eat or wear anything non independent or artisan. Even then if you live in a liberal city and buy artisan clothing food etc. you will have a pro gay seller or at least a banner waver. I rarely buy corporate food but occasionally you need to buy...

The way companies use digital algorithms for credit ratings, criminal record searches, google searches on individuals and governments haven't done much regulation beyond enacting laws to punish individuals that exploit people for personal gain(sexual or monetary), you could argue we are in the...

His resume isn't deep enough but if this team holds together and everybody stays humble(a hard task in the YoBA) he could give Larry Legend a run for his money. I still maintain that Dirk with a deeper caste around him could have been viewed as the greatest White player ever if had won...

I think we can say with all confidence that Jacobs is the George Santos of track and field and seems to be getting more mysterious as his athletic career unfolds...

I noticed this too both teams were on fumes and this was why the shooting looked like an evening pickup games with decent former high school hoopsters. I'm glad Denver closed it out as the last thing the team needed was losing this game and sports talk tv and radio hosts planting seeds of...

I only watched this fight in passing but Munguia isn't the monster he looked like he was when he destroyed Sadam Ali for the WBO junior middleweight belt. The Mechanic had the head of Munguia looking like a bobble head doll at times in this fight and had him stumbling around until the 12th...

I had the fight even after 4 rounds and then Taylor seemed to hit the wall and was lucky hear the final bell. The two 115-113 scorecards were shocking as IMO Lopez won 6 or 7 of the next 8 rounds and won this fight going away with two big rounds in the 11th and 12th rounds. Two listless...
