Ryan Garcia stripped away every shred of polite promotion ahead of Saturday night, reducing Conor Benn to a harsh boxing reality. Chemical enhancements cannot manufacture genuine pedigree. Benn can roll in with all the explosive bulk and laboratory muscle money can buy, but Ryan is convinced none of it fixes the Brit’s fatal technical flaws. “He could take steroids all he wants. Like I said, he’s not good enough,” Ryan told The Ring. “And, you know, I don’t really care.” The remark stings because it goes far deeper than a tired PED jab. Ryan is picking at the scab Benn’s…

In Madrid’s Puerta del Sol this week, Formula One fans were not shy in calling on the gods to look kindly on their favoured drivers on a newly built circuit that appears punishingly unforgiving.Legend has it that rubbing the paws or backside of the bear in the famous El Oso y el Madroño statue at the square’s heart confers good luck. The drivers may well need it. Day one of action at the brand new Madring track began with F2’s Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak careening into the barriers and his car catching fire, leaving the onlooking George Russell shocked before the F1…

Jack Wilshere says sorry for seeing red in Luton’s 2-1 defeat at Stevenage, which saw two ‘blatant’ refereeing errors, says Chris Powell. The latter said he felt the first Stevenage goal should’ve been ruled out for a foul in the build-up and the second for offside. Thursday’s result sees Stevenage up to 4th with 9 points from 6 games played, while Luton are 8th with 8 points, with this weekend’s games to play out.

Newcastle head into Monday’s trip to Leeds on the back of an eye-catching start to life under Matthias Jaissle, with the Magpies yet to lose since the German replaced Eddie Howe over the summer. The early signs are that Jaissle’s Newcastle are going to be one of the most exciting teams to watch in the Premier League this season, with goals flowing at the other end of the pitch too. REUTERS/Lee Smith The manager spoke about the chances his side are conceding ahead of the trip to Elland Road: “You can see that but you can see also the fact…

Portland Timbers boss Marti Cifuentes has welcomed “internal competition” ahead of their trip to face FC Dallas this weekend. The topic came up for Cifuentes after Ronald Hernandez made his Portland debut in their 2-2 draw with St. Louis City SC last time out. Hernandez, who joined from Atlanta United, replaced Eric Miller in the 65th minute and made a positive impact as the Timbers salvaged a late draw. The 28-year-old full-back created two chances, a joint-second team-high, while also recording two interceptions and winning his only attempted tackle. Cifuentes was pleased with Hernandez’s performance on debut and hopes his…

It can be misleading to rely only on your eyes and the optics of Conor Benn’s body. It’s also more than fair to ask which Ryan Garcia will show up to the ring. Let us not forget Garcia put up a lackluster performance in a loss to Rolando Romero prior to beating a limited Mario Barrios. In the fight before that with Devin Haney, Garcia didn’t seem to take it seriously all week. Only for Garcia to drop Haney a few times in a fight that was ruled a no contest after Ryan popped for an illegal substance. When Ryan…
