Yes you are right I forgot he had two biological daughters and one adopted daughter. Generally boxers who keep their money their descendants don't box or try and box professionally. Dempsey while losing much of his fortune in the stock market crash in 29', still had his restaurant and toured...

Very few athletes come out of the closet if they have sponsorship deals with conservative corporations. It seems like the out athletes are "so gay" that it can't be hidden or are political militants. I saw on the internet defending world champion Sean Barber came out as gay while still...

Regarding his birth name is Gormley and he claims a lineage to Dempsey but I can't see a direct one unless one of his parents was an illegitimate child of Dempsey's as Dempsey only had one known daughter. Yes he is slightly slurring and no he didn't sound like this years ago. Here's a video...

You are way too harsh, his epic comeback in Rio shows TONS of heart. He was about 7th entering the final 100 meter straight and he picked off runners one by one to finish in a near dead heat for 3rd. Yes he isn't the most physically fit world class athlete but he is far from heartless. Any...

Adam Kownacki might be a prospect to watch as he ko'd the "Pin" today on national television. On the surface he looks out of shape and rather slow but he hits hard and places his punches well. As for Szpilka even his trainer talked about this match being a retirement match if he couldn't beat...

It seems like tennis has a figurative lost generation of players on the women's side as nobody that's under 25 as emerged as clear cut future superstar. The Spaniard/Venezuelan has a chance with 3 finals and one win(pending Saturday's result). All of the challengers to the Williams sisters...

I give McGregor about a 1 or 2 percent chance because of injuries. Mayweather is 40 and older boxers can pull their Achilles, or throw out a shoulder or wrench their back. We saw a fight this winter where the "Gaymaker" tore his Achilles Heel and gave the fight to Tony Bellew. Aside from that...

This type of talk is quite common in n pro wrestling. In MMA Chael Sonnnen has talked this smack too. This is the best example of this ever(IMO).....

He probably is cash poor and not technically broke but we have seen this picture before. After this farce is over and tallied he will have probably another pay day that he can squeeze out in a 8 figure range and then the pickings will be slim for his lifestyle and he will be broke or cash poor...

I actually had a similar score to Ambrose I had it 115-112 with a 10-8 ninth round. Pac wasn't active enough and was out hustled. Without his foot speed he he is the equivalent of a 6' heavyweight without the speed and agility of a prime Mike Tyson. I have now seen two feeds and the two non...

No I thought it was very tight, the 117-111 score was joke and when I heard the the 115-113 twice with that score in a unanimous decision I figured they gave it to Manny. I don't score rounds for anybody but who I thought won.

You better cut yourself off as Horne just pulled it out. I had close to even but I will have to watch the replay as I couldn't tell who won. But Pacman is a shell of himself, when he stunned Horne in the 9th he would have finished him off in his prime. That said full marks to Horne as he...

Beibut. retired last week due to a damaged eye that was risking permanent blindness if he continued fighting. His career will probably be a big what if. Ps, he and Denis Shafikov have a permanent link in this thread as Shafikov fights tomorrow against extremely long Robert Easter. At the...

The US army and other government agencies have always fast tracked people for citizenship with unique skills who wanted to become citizens. In most cases it was a scientist or a spy. This is much more dubious as all these guys are "B grade Kenyans" who run. It's funny but the US middle and...

No mystery here Devon Allen is going to London......

A perfect summation of the fight and his career. His punch resistance is gone as Mitrione couldn't carry his jock strap as Larry Holmes used to say. Fedor in his prime had an iron chin.

I don't know why Kovalev had Jackson for this fight. In the buildup to the fight Kovalev stated Jackson just does pad work and he does his own training. So he essentially treated Jackson as an assistant trainer. Why bother to keep him around then? If there is an unlikely third bout or Kovalev...

He has a max contract and is a known ball hog and malcontent. What team would want this potential locker room grenade, plus he isn't really interested in winning. The "Melo Man" is only interested in furthering his brand name.

I finally saw some of the undercard fights and I was going to ask why Vic Draculich wasn't asked to referee the main event. Then I saw Rigo vs the random paper contender from Mexico. The foul that "won" that fight might have been more obvious than any foul in this fight and corrupt Nevada...

The back story about the feuds between RCSMAN and virtually every other poster in the two threads is that he always stated in English and French that Carraz knows what he is doing and everything will work out. In the 200 meters this has played out to a point but many posters(myself included)...

Yes the NY Yankees were tainted with this brush to a point as they promoted there first Negro/Black player in the mid 50's. The only difference was the Yankees won frequently in this era, also Elston Howard didn't have a real position to play as his natural position was catcher but they...

I finally saw a full copy of this fight and the fight was close until the 8th round and Ward should have had a 9-9 round in the 8th with up to a 5 minute rest for Kovalev in the 8th. With so much fouling around that round Kovalev may have been listless down the stretch of the fight if Weeks...

Whites have only shown him love, his sperm donor father at this point might view him as a potential mark to be played, but Krapernick has only shown contempt towards his birth mother who publicly has stated she wants no material wealth from him.

Krapernick can't blame the White man for this one as the shooting officer is a Cholo or Mestizo. So I guess he has to be venting about the system. I would love to be his psychiatrist, he must look in the mirror and see Sidney Potier with a crown of thorns on his head.....

Well the fix is in. Tony Weeks is on the fast track for employee of the month...http://www.boxingscene.com/nsac-exec-good-stoppage-kovalev-ward-shots-legal--117696http://www.boxingscene.com/nsac-exec-good-stoppage-kovalev-ward-shots-legal--117696 Nothing to see here folks lets move on...
