There was only one day left before the weigh-in. Friday’s trip to the scale provided the answer. Tagoe came in at 150 pounds, a massive 10 pounds over the light welterweight contract limit. Mercado-Tagoe was scheduled as the co-feature on Saturday’s Claressa Shields vs. Kaye Scott card in Atlanta on DAZN. The two sides initially attempted to negotiate after the miss, but no agreement was reached. Dan Rafael later reported that the fight had been canceled. Accepting the fight would have meant Mercado facing an opponent who was already substantially heavier before Saturday’s contest. Tagoe also avoided the physical demands…

“I’m just going to walk him down,” Rolly said to Sean Zittel while discussing his August 22 WBA welterweight title defense against Teofimo at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Romero showed against Ryan Garcia last year how his pressure can work together with his counters. Garcia attacked early, but Romero repeatedly caught him with countershots in the second round. Garcia became tentative afterward, relying heavily on his jab while Romero took command by coming forward. Teofimo has repeatedly looked uncomfortable when opponents fight without fear and keep him under fire. Steve Claggett was supposed to provide a manageable title defense…

Roberto De Zerbi has led the pursuit of proven Premier League experience at Tottenham Hotspur, but it’s worth remembering that many of the club’s modern success stories have come when gambling on youth. Of course, there is merit in De Zerbi’s approach, following a few wretched years in north London, but Spurs need to ensure they don’t sell tomorrow in order to fund today. The likes of Luka Vuskovic and Tynan Thompson have departed, with Lucas Bergvall likely to follow, the Lilywhites perhaps moving away from a tradition that saw them snap up the likes of Dele Alli or Gareth…
