The timing is difficult to separate from what happened only one week earlier. Tamm Thibeault had just received considerable attention following her latest performance. Fans were discussing the Canadian middleweight as perhaps the most serious threat to Shields, but the conversation wasn’t limited to her boxing ability. Thibeault was also receiving frequent compliments about her looks. Those comments weren’t prompted by a glamorous entrance, revealing clothes or an elaborate makeover. Fans were commenting on Thibeault’s face after the fight, with her hair pulled back, hand wraps still on and little or no visible makeup. The attention came while Thibeault looked…

Senior certainly could have instructed Teofimo to attempt the same approach. Teofimo simply is not built to fight like that. Throughout his career, Lopez has been a boxer who loads up on single power shots…
An excellent first-team best score of 91 from youngster Will Bennison was the cornerstone of Yorkshire’s 273-9, but it maybe should have been more as they lost momentum in mid-innings.And, ultimately, it did not prove quite enough as in-form South African Verreynne came in to help Notts from their stuttering start with 105 off 123 balls.After he was out, Haynes carried on the fine work as the former Worcestershire man got his side over the line with only his third List A century.His former Pears team-mate Dillon Pennington, who had earlier struck four times with the ball, assisted at the…

Castleford director of rugby Chris Chester told BBC Radio Leeds:”I thought we were the best side. We showed some real toughness, some real resilience and some real fight, which is probably what we’ve been lacking these last few weeks.”I’m pleased for the boys after a real tough week and I’m just really proud of them because it’s a hard place to come.”I think the pressure was off, coming away from home, we could play without fear.”They were always going to come back at us and I just liked the response when they scored, the response from the players and Hoodie…
