Lucas Matthysse won the WBA regular belt over a huge Thai boxer in a spectacular knock out. On the same card Jorge Linares retained his unified world lightweight title and there is a story that he will sign a fight with Loma for an early spring...

The blue print for Usyk would be a Michael Spinks approach to some of the giants. His chin against a well timed counter is the key to whether he can pull off an in and out fight against some of the 250 pound heavyweights. It's almost like walking the high wire with a blustery wind. Most...

The UFC and MMA in general doesn't have the depth of professional boxing so another division to carve up the thin talent in the UFC would cause more problems than they would alleviate. PS the UFC used to have no limit at heavyweight but so many heavyweights were too lazy to get in the best...

In Ontario we have a open lesbian running the province but 2 one sided stories from anonymous females have torpedoed the career of opposition leader Patrick Brown. If these stories are true he should be out of politics and if the statute of limitations haven't run out charged with sexual...

You beat me to it, Wood has been a stalwart in the relatively poor line for much of his tenure. Supposedly he knew about this injury but hid it from team doctors until the annual post season physical. Farewell to Arms Eric....

Actually technically it was a majority decision. I scored the fight the same as the judges with 115-113 as Usyk seemed to sweep 9 through 11 in a fight that was about even through 8. The twelfth round was won by the Latvian but it was too little too late. It was very highly skilled and...

Another leather faced Israelite has been coercing female employees for massages with extras. Imagine having to do that to this...

Is it misdemeanors too? Technically a DIU conviction or being sent to a diversionary program for a DIU or shoplifting could get you barred from the league. It seems a bit heavy handed for me. People have been saying this league is a competitor to the NFL. I expect the pay to be the...

Jones, Thome, Hoffman and Guerrero were elected today, with Edgar Martinez narrowly missing the cutoff point. All candidates were worthy inductees. They will be joining Morris and Trammell who were elected by the seniors committee last month...

The biggest spread in the post merger era is probably the 49ers vs Chargers game that game opened around ten points and moved immediately a few points. This game could still be competitive if Foles plays as good as he did today. If it's how he looked against Atlanta the game should be a blowout.

Yes the blue print on beating him is out there and guys are going to try and replicate what Stipe did. His skills looked similar to what early MMA fighters had around UFC 10-20....

Yes I read he was Ukrainian, but he is a Ukrainian national and is ethnic Georgian. The name doesn't really sound Slavic. Ps I found this copy of the fight, watch it soon it could get pulled......

It happened already and like Ambrose and I suspected the Ukranian import fell apart after a few rounds of out boxing Kownacki. He actually sagged to the ground similar to Klitschko but Wlad always rose from these knock downs, he stayed down like a leveled building.

Ha! I heard the tail end of a Mayock story about a prospect who was the DII all time sack leader and Mayock had reverence for a prospect who had a short reach for the NFL to be a pass rusher and humbled himself to play fullback at the NFL level. I'm assuming he has been spinning these stories......

Is Cleophus an ethnic name? This new psycho allegedly has murdered 9 people but only has been on parole for manslaughter for about three years, so I guess these killings were a seasonal thing, similar to...

They were crazy bench press stories of Kotsya Tszyu benching totals in that range in the off season, Shane Mosley also had these totals in the off season and of course was getting the best PED program at the time. Considering Beterbiev is close to 30 pounds of muscle than either of those guys I...

Children love celebrations I remember the first team that had choreographed celebrations were the Redskins team of the early 80's. The "Fun Bunch" were a collection of undersized Black receivers and running backs(mostly receivers as Riggins scored the bulk of the ground touchdowns). At the...

Yes if you read between the lines Adam is the house fighter so this fight is set up for him to win, you never know Kildaze could box his ears off but like you said "skinny" heavyweights who have been lights out knocked out in the cruiserweight division usually aren't sturdy enough to survive a...

Kownacki fights tomorrow night against Iago Kiladze who has a fringe ranking with the IBF, the winner of this fight will probably have a solid top 10 ranking. This fight will be broadcast on Youtube and Facebook so it should be on Youtube immediately after the bout if you miss the fight. Here's...

Funny story years ago I "sacked" our starting quarterback in football practice on an impromptu safety blitz during a full contact practice. He was wearing a bright vest but I thought I could still grab him but not tackle him, some how my helmet hit his hand and caused similar swelling to Brady's...

Yes the broke many scandals ie the Oklahoma scandal under Switzer, steroid abuse in various segments of society, pay for play in college sports, etc. When ESPN does something similar online it doesn't seem the same reading it, I tend to only want to read the broad strokes and not finish...

Tragic news, my thoughts and prayers are with his family, if there is a crowd funding drive for his funeral costs I will try and remember and post it in this thread.

During the lead up to the Holmes vs Cooney super fight ,Gerry Cooney constantly answered questions about what would happen if his bombs that took out Norton and Lyle failed to dent Holmes and he said it made him leery of fighting at a faster pace as he became "buffaloed" about his stamina...

I found this interesting, twerpy South Asian American comedian Aziz Ansari has been outed as a cad, but the columnist stated halfway through the piece that the Me Too movement main aim was to take down college educated White men and Ansari was taken down by the tsunami of pent up frustration of...
