“She only had that many fights in the professionals, but she got belts,” Shields said during her post-fight interview. “It’s not my fault this girl don’t have the experience that I have. But hey, she got a belt that I know belongs to me, and that’s The Ring belt.” It is an unusual criticism considering the fighter Shields just beat. Scott entered Saturday’s bout with a 5-1-1 record, meaning she had only seven professional fights herself. At 42, she was also eleven years older than Shields and had never faced anyone remotely comparable to the two-time Olympic gold medalist. Thibeault’s…

Tosin Adarabioyo has interest from two European clubs and Chelsea are willing sellers, at the right price. If you enjoy Talk Chelsea coverage and want to see more of it, add us as a preferred source on Google to make us a favourite and see more of our content. At the start of the summer, we felt there was a good chance Tosin stayed at Chelsea. The plain fact was there were so many defenders to move on, and probably room for 5 in the squad. So selling him or loaning him wouldn’t have been as high priority as finding…
The disappointment was Rashford’s return coincided with what Maguire accepted was Manchester United’s “worst” pre-season performance, a week before their Premier League opener at Hull.Skipper Bruno Fernandes missed a penalty for the second game running, which would have made it 2-1 at half-time, although there were encouraging signs in his link-up play with Youri Tielemans as both completed the full 90 minutes for the first time.”We’re wanting to play much further up the pitch, be more aggressive and more on the front foot,” said Maguire.”This was the only game where I didn’t feel we did ourselves justice in that aspect.…

Morning all. We have our last game of pre-season today when we face Man City in the Community Shield. It is a little distinct from the other fixtures because it’s viewed as a season showpiece opener, and both managers described it as a ‘final’ in their pre-game press conferences, which tells you how seriously they take it. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t really matter, but once you’re in a game like this, you want to win it. It can demonstrate how ready you are for the new campaign which, in our case, kicks off on Friday evening…
