We had another wingnut carrying a gun around the White House and he tried to fire on Secret Service agents so this could be assassin number 5 of Trump if this is the case. For all of the crazy political acts of the Nixon era that bled into the Ford era I don't recall this amount venom for a...

It played out similar to what I thought it would but the fight was beaten out of Ramirez much quicker than I thought. He similar to Dubois against Usyk (twice) could have beat the count when he took his knee but had the fight beaten out of him mentally. There was talk of super fights with...

There is a big difference between betting on football and shaving points or out right tanking games. I know there have been players that have been suspended for betting and I assume also betting on football. So far I haven't heard of a recent football player being banned for betting on...

Considering the age and athletic ability difference it's probably worse if you grade it on a handicap...

I tried staying up for the Japanese civil war but I couldn't find a working stream about an hour before the main event and decided to go back to bed and watch a pirate copy. The civil war was fought in spurts with Inoue controlling the action when the fight was tactical. Around the 8th round...

Yes not a busy a weekend but it's an eventful one with the two cards. The Japanese civil war is the premiere card and the winner will be a candidate for the top position on the pound for pound list. The Vegas card is promoted as a Mexican civil war but the style of Ramirez isn't to go to war...

Things are now getting clearer and new news stories are painting a picture of a more typical maladjusted assassin who seems to have a Joan of Arc complex but at one point he seemed to be heading in the right direction with his inventing a war simulation video game that in the old days of...

A crazed Mulatto tried to storm the White House Correspondence Dinner and nearly breached security and I assume was going to try and assassinate Trump. I expected this wingnut to be the typical wingnut ie maladjusted but it seems like he has an advanced degree and was the "Employee of the...

You beat me to this I am usually lazy on posting Latino fighters as most are Mestizo, Black or Mulatto but he is a White Argentine puncher who just off of his power is a gem prospect. He is with Hearn so he can get the bouts necessary to make it to an eliminator without jumping through a...

His coach, coached him to be a college workhorse but had no regards to his long term development and future pro potential. It seemed like he raced every relay under the sun at both sprint distances and when you combine that with regular sprinting in the 100, 200 and dabbling in the 400m dash...

Eagles better get proper struts and suspension on their team bus as this dude coupled with their other obese sumos could blow out tires and destroy axels. He could be constantly broken down after a year or two with those dimensions.

I thought the Russo-American prospect had unofficially retired with either personal problems or legal issues due to contractual red tape. I suspect his first opponent back will be a human target. The Moloney brothers card is a card that isn't typically picked up by North American broadcasters...

This week is a slow week in terms of male title fights or fights that have large significance in the top tier of the sport but tonight on ESPN, MVP promotions kicks off their female headliner card with two title fights with Baumgardner vs Shin and Green vs Daniels. I assume both bouts are...

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...
