Yes he had an easier time than I thought he would have and he still looked like a punctured bag of milk but it is probably loose skin from blowing up to 400 pounds give or take pint of Guinness stout. Joshua swerved the ring taunts of Fury and boxing insiders are stating the Wilder fight is...

Yes a strange loss in the title fight as he backed off and signaled to the referee to stop the fight. You have to wonder if the New Zealand fighter would have been let out of the corner to see the second round if the corner knew the extent of the injury to Ulberg. Hokit could become the next...

It could be the boxing public is tiring of the Fury act. You can't say 11 pound sterling is the excuse to not show up for the fight in the nose bleeds seats as a round trip on the "tube" is not much less than this. Also nobody had excuses when Fury had his title fight mismatch with Chisora in...

I have noticed that there has been a ceremonial changing of the guard as a few older champions have retired from playing the course and the two biggest recent legends who are in the 50's are absent this year. At the moment it's Rory possibly shooting a Woods type scorecard at the conclusion of...

Yes I forgot about him. Last night Athur Biyarslanov fought and beat Jimerr Espinosa for the NABF 140 pound title. I don't know at what point you go from a prospect to a contender but the Chechen born but Toronto, Ontario raised boxer is now 20 and 0 and the NABF champion. Back before 4...

These were sweet upsets but Pat Brown needs to get recognition for his work in the main event and the younger brother of former WBA lightweight champion Anthony Crolla, William Crolla was in a barnburner vs Glenn Byrne. Also in Australia Sam Goodman won a hard fought decision over his tough...

I thought maybe Betty Robinson ran track and field in university but maybe it was unofficial intramural club type competitions. She reigned as the same time as Percy Williams but he only ran club meets in Canada and never competed at the NCAA level. If the first official year of women's track...

Not accurate the two reigning champions at the Olympic level have been White North Americans at the same time, but that doesn't mean they both ran NCAA track and field. I think the best chance of this happening was during the late 20's through mid 30's but this must have happened before.

Yes similar to various wrestlers, football players and daredevil types he is risking being wheel chair bound with multiple surgeries as sooner or later you can't put "Humpty Dumpty together again". Woods was never a well rounded person as he was only developed to be a world class golfer...

I forgot he had an eye injury that aborted his run to a title fight. He was a rare White Canadian born fighter with elite potential. This weekend has fight cards on Friday and Saturday and Sunday, this is probably the biggest weekend of the year so far. Pat Brown headlines a prospect card...

We could also list Rogers Clemens and Jose Canseco as two guys who played in these semi pro leagues but for probably different reasons as Canseco filed for bankruptcy shortly after his tenure in one of these leagues at around 40 and Clemens was 50ish when he played semi pro ball and most people...

Back in the days of semi-pro type pay it was quite common to see players drift down to a UFL type league in all of the 4 pro leagues and boxing always had this with broke former champions and contenders who squandered fortunes. These days with fat money in all of the pro leagues it's very rare...

When his first scandal broke it seemed that the tabloids broke his stories about his various floozies, hookers and the like but nobody has attempted to connect the dots with his obvious connections to PED usage. I remember when his Canadian doctor was caught with HGH at the US border and nobody...

Yes two decent cards on Saturday but I could be distracted by NCAA basketball but I will make time for Itauma vs Franklin and the question will be if Franklin can go the distance. I haven't looked up the over and under but the prospect is a heavy 20 to 25 to 1 favorite to win the bout...

This weekend has two cards with two title fights headlining them. In Orlando on DAZN the WBC middleweight title is on the line and it seems the undercard has a string of prospects fighting on them but no White boxers are involved but intriguing Eurasian(half Polynesian) prospect Teremoana...

The DEI Police Chief states the obvious that his police department was overwhelmed by rioters and needs to help to keep the peace and the city has enacted a curfew for anybody under 18 in the commercial district. I did notice that deputies were seen tossing half Mickeys and Mickeys into...

They looked good and are capable of a run into the second week. They are another mid major that is seeded lower than they should be. PS, Phall always has the best write ups about the tournament. Call it the "Dice Clay" write up...

Yes this is coming back to me because I would hear stories in the halls of high school where guys talked about getting fake ID and going to Daytona Beach for debauchery but nothing else... I think MTV had a documentary about the differences between Spring Break in various beach towns and Dayton...

From what I remember about Spring Break, Fort Lauderdale was the destination that attracted a richer crowd and Dayton Beach attracted a blue collar crowd. This is 35 years ago and every Jew I casually knew went to Fort Lauderdale. The term for Daytona Beach was the "Redneck Riveria" and a...

This weekend has two cards on Saturday with a Irish card that is highlighted with Dickens vs Cacace for possibly the WBA interim super-featherweight title(according to ESPN the title isn't on the line). Dickens won the interim title with a blow out of Albert Batyrgaziev in Turkey and seems to...

Honestly I feel like I'm watching Forest Gump II, some quote like "stupid is as stupid does" applies here unless the Jets have some sort of master plan for dumping to achieve as close to perfection as possible(0-17). They used to say the Jets always won in the off season I don't even see this...

More disturbing details about Epstein's "Dude Ranch" in the southwest... God bless these victims who are probably buried on the property as similar to various Native bodies found on properties their names will never be put to the bodies but for different reasons.

Gilliam who was making 2 million or so as Bill gets roughly double his pay which might be a reflection on salary cap growth but if it's not I don't get this one as he has averaged around 4 touches a year on offense but is a special teams core player but do you pay 4 million a year for this type...

Netanyahu is on the record of having tried to black mail "Slick Willie" over his Jewish concubine but Clinton said something to the effect the cat's out of the bag and that black mail attempt failed. I think this came out during the Epstein file dumps.

I think Smiff and Taylor still have some value in the league but Wilson and Johnson are washed in Johnson's case I don't know if you could even call him that as that would mean you he some level of competency. Does anybody think Johnson had black mail tapes on some owners or was a butt pirate...
