This time in the rematch Dave Allen didn't need to go to the judges as Allen put Fisher down in the 5th round again where Fisher tumbled similar to a stunt man in an action film but with 10 seconds to go Fisher was too out of it to be anything more than cigar store Indian and was felled by a...

There is an old thread on horse racing buried in the archives of the site but essentially horse racing would be dead without foreign born jockeys from the old Anglo Caribbean and Latin America taking mounts in North American races. A few are White most are not and are largely Mestizo or in the...

Yes many Russian athletes have scattered into the wind and took out citizenship of neighboring countries to avoid bans for participating at the international level. I found it rather strange that he had a Russified surname as Armenians generally never changed their surnames. PS Booth during...

There is no way Pete Rose tanked as a player to fix bets on MLB games as a player as he would have been what a 4500 to 5000 hit player? As a manager he had to have used bullpens or starting pitchers in a manner that didn't conflict with his bets which is a form of fixing but in my mind he...

Honestly this sounds like a fan trade(the SI article aside). Cooper Flagg is a once a decade prospect and the Mavericks management are the proverbial blind squirrels finding the nut. The brain dead GM must be thanking the basketball gods or he would be laser printing his resume at Kinko's at...

So the brain dead Dallas GM pulls a Homer Simpson and gets the Mavericks back to "Even Steven"....

I shudder to think what kind of pain killer routine he was on to suit up on game day. This is probably a good thing for the long run of his life but this retirement leaves the Saints in a potential free fall and in position to draft the first pick in 26'. Happy trails to the Carr clan... PS...

I tend to agree that he wasn't a true bust but he is nowhere near what he was drafted to be. For what he has done for his career as pure pass rush specialist is thread bare thin for a number 1 pick. If he was a 3rd or 4th rounder that would be a different story as he would be a solid pro who...

Yes anything would be better than the first two cards the Sunday title fights were damn good. Navarette has never been in a boring fight as he only knows how to attack with his chin available to be struck if you can time his aggression. In England Cacae vs Wood could be an all action fight if...

The WBC was the first to adopt the division and now that the division has lasted 2 years+ the WBA adopted the division too. The WBO and IBF at the moment don't recognize the division. If you look at boxing history the adoption of the 168 and 200 pound division have a similar history and...

Yes the main event and the semi final bout saved the weekend as pretty much every other fight on the weekend failed to launch. White Mexican Rafael “Divino” Espinoza essentially destroyed and broke down ethnic Mexican Edward Vasquez and battered him and forced a 7th round referee's stoppage. I...

I have never seen a weekend like this in 40+years of watching boxing. I remember when a big PPV was on a Saturday night and ABC would have a non marquee champion defending his crown that afternoon and then after the fight ABC would do a preview of the PPV but this isn't that this is two stacked...

I remember around a decade ago Baylor had a tight end who was in the low 400's and the NFL didn't even give him a tryout. I remember there was a mini documentary series on his quest to play pro football. One segment had him eating clean and trying to get his weight under 400(to no avail) as...

Similar to McMillan he has distant European ancestry. Hawaii has many native people who have distant European ancestry due to the various sailors who have sailed to and settled on the island. People forget due to the modern forms of transportation once you went out to Hawaii you were stuck...

Yes I assumed that... This weekend really only has the Benn vs Eubank card as relevant card for the general boxing public. I can't make heads or tails of the card but it will do a big PPV number in GB and the hype is similar to the Laila Ali vs Jackie Frazier fight a good two decades ago. It...

I think Kiper is a German American from the Baltimore area. Duane Kuiper was never mentioned as a Jew when he played in the majors 40 yeas ago... PS Sanders falling like a tech stock is sweet justice as even Jesus Vick had some level of humbleness when he was drafted contrasting this Sanders...

He was probably of the last generation of plentiful White front 7 stars on defense. He also was probably in the last generation of NFL stars that wrestled full time after their careers ended due to the explosion of salaries in the league. He also opened my eyes on the spendthrift...

Maybe because he disappeared similar to Kaiser Sose I had never heard of him as I recall all of the various world class male Australian sprinters from the Moscow Olympics to this season. Since the sport is only a semi pro sport for all but the elite super stars the sport will lose competitors...

I would say no but according to government statisticians if he were a rapist, school shooter, drug lord, etc he would be one. So in other words in real life if he robbed me at a local 7/11 I wouldn't describe him as a White male to the officer who arrived to the scene. Wrapping up the weekend...

Yes it's a fairly busy weekend with even a Sunday card. The card tonight has Big Gurg against Dajuan Calloway, this could be the one fight where the jumbo Armenian is the smaller man in a fight as Calloway has routinely fought at 3 bills+ and even has tipped the scales in the low 4 bills range...

Supposedly his pops and uncle are the brain trust behind the black mail attempt against UT and now will have to take less to sign with UCLA. It's a fitting lesson to college prospects to not have underqualified relatives negotiating multimillion dollar deals for you. Jed Clampett had more...

Yes a slow weekend compared to last weeks multiple cards that even had event overlap. Ennis vs Stanionis is the crown jewel fight of the weekend and could be a fight of the year candidate if recent form of the two combatants are similar tomorrow. As far as I can tell Stanionis is the only...

Yes that was a touch foul and could have cemented the game or at least if Flagg scored on free throw attempts forced overtime in the game. I don't get why Scheyer didn't have his best player(Flagg) with decent height inbound the ball to a good hands type team. It seemed like the team...

I watched this live but without sound as my main television had another sport on and it's possible Hrgovic had stamina issues because he took the fight on short notice. Yes it was a back and forth fight and Joyce surprisingly showed some life in him but still the same awful skillset. Hopefully...

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/44443675/nets-sign-g-leaguer-drew-timme-multiyear-contractA dollar short and a day late but "The Mustache" Drew Timme was promoted to the Brooklyn Nets and is putting in decent minutes so far averaging quality back up minutes. He even signed a multi year deal...
