There have been a few college grads who were world class boxers. I recall Darrin Van Horne having a degree and taking part time law classes as he fought at the world level in the junior and supermiddleweight divisions, the difference is Van Horne and other graduates fought at the world level and...

This weekend is busy beyond belief as Friday has three minor cards and Saturday has a British card and the MSG showdown between Taylor and Lopez. Irish national Callum Walsh is the headliner on UFC Fight Pass against somebody named Carson Jones. I assume Jones is a club fighting journeyman as...

I think the premiere of Nova Scotia has blamed it on campers/picnic people who didn't put out a fire properly and the fire smoldered and has caused this disaster. I don't get how a fire hundreds of miles away can affect Atlanta which probably hasn't been this smoky since Sherman's army laid...

It is especially when you look at how dead this list was for probably 2 generations. 9.9X is probably worth what 10.0X was a generation ago but there weren't any White American guys doing anything close to this and Kevin Little was more of a 200m runner who dabbled in the 100m dash. Simply...

He is seriously jacked in another thread people were saying he is draft eligible, in the past a guy like him would be drafted as an athlete. Now he could be a free agent flyer type similar to Devon Allen he has serious speed and is sturdier than Allen.

I don't know if this is a sign of strength from LIV but it looks like Lefty will be able to keep his money as he was happy but Norman is probably out as commissioner of the now absorbed tour...https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/37805785/pga-tour-liv-golf-dp-world-tour-announce-merger PS I...

Yes it's strange but this week is slow without any major cards less the female headed card with Shields vs her non descript cannon fodder opponent, yet last week had 3 near simultaneous cards based out of Great Britain. You would think one promoter would have booked a venue this weekend. Usyk...

Where are these young women coming out of the wood work? I remember when US junior sprinting was virtually devoid of elite national level junior/collegiate sprinters. Now there are more than a handful if not a bushel full. So much for this being the video game generation...

I was waiting for Historian to give plaudits to Brown in his passing but he either missed this one or decided to pass. Obviously he was one of the greatest running backs ever but his history with women is very muddied to say the least. I'm not going to play dime store psychologist beyond this...

Yes he rid championship boxing of the blight of Lawrence Okolie and Wood exercised his demons by giving a boxing lesson to Lara who could have lost points for shoving the referee. Okolie who has used his long limbs in an Octopus like fashion was exposed for being limited defensively and he was...

Didn't Peter Karlsson run a time in this range? I could be off by a few 100th's as this time was in the 90's with a gale force wind.

Any other country less Jamaica she would be a shoe in for the team barring injuries but the US is so deep that she may have to hit her physical peak to make the deep team. Her times are "frighteningly" good, especially when you consider her age. I only recall the now disgraced Jones running...

Yes this was the ko that I alluded to Moloney is in his early 30's and has mixed it with the elite of 115 but he is aging and after a ko like this he may never have the chin or reflexes to fight elite 115 pounders again and not have results like this. Nakatani has the look of a future...

There probably won't be one as Haney and his team bent the rules as much as they could to squeeze him into 135. Even if Loma didn't gas in the 12th it would have only been a draw. Four rounds were easy to score the 1st, 10th, 11th and 12th were obvious and maybe the 2nd. Everything else was...

I think it's a perfect storm of rampant drug use among the working classes who have drifted down to the welfare class and affordable housing being nearly non existent in expensive coastal cities. It used to be if you rented at market rate you were either saving for a down payment on a property...

Yes a legitimate super fight without the celebrity boxing hype of Davis vs Garcia fight. Haney is a full size larger than Loma and knows how to use his size and length to avoid exchanges and score on the outside. Haney has two flaws he isn't naturally aggressive enough and he tires down the...

Supposedly his career is in the air, in other words if he has a big money option he will defend his title(he dropped the WBA belt to avoid a low money fight with Lara). The problem for him is there is no big money options at middleweight. It's not like there isn't talent with fellow Kazakh...

The Toronto media has had field day of breaking down the 2nd round debacle of Toronto. As you said Matthews, Marner and even team captain Tavares have been criticized for poor play in the playoffs. The playoffs are another animal from the regular season and the little things change series. I...

She put in the work look at her resume she has a deep resume but that still doesn't mean she is the right coach for Boling or is using him properly for the long term development of Boling. Obviously racial and gender politics probably were a consideration too(it always is). People ask why...

As best I can tell his team was a non descript team and the trainer looked ethnic Mexican so he could be based out of California or the US Southwest. He may hire a high profile trainer for a world level cross roads fight. Uncle Teddy is confined to his Youtube channel where he breaks down...

Yes the ESPN card has two Whites in title fights with Moloney as the A side with Butler the long shot B side against ducked Zanibek Alimkhanuly . Based off the previous title fight of the Montreal based Butler the Eurasian budding star should win and win spectacularly as this is a showcase...

The pay of the players isn't anything in the inflationary range what players make today. That's part of the reason why he did that he was making the equivalent of CFL money. He was one tough bird more of a NFL journeyman that caught fire than a star but was one in the CFL. I remember seeing...

I have never been a fan of Huggins as he is exactly what turns me off of sleazy head coaches in college large revenue sports. Huggins referred to Xavier fans as fa**ots on the air and the board or regents forced good old Bob to take a 1 million dollar pay cut and his contract is now a year to...

No mystery here as Santos was indicted today on various charges. I suspect leg irons will satisfy a bondage fetish of Santos...

This guy wasn't even vaguely White. All he was, was an insane maniac who read or visited far right websites. So the next time a full blooded African black shoots up whatever place will Biden try and pin White supremacy ideology on this act of madness? PS I hadn't see the movie in years and...
