10. Micky Ward vs. Alfonso Sanchez (watch it on YouTube)In 1997, Micky Ward, the man who gave us so many classic wars in his remarkable career, was just another fighter. Ward was, by no means, a bum, but he also wasn’t considered destined for any kind of notoriety in the squared circle. In fact, from 1987-1991, he went 10-7 before taking three years off to work construction.And then came the Alfonso “Poncho” Sanchez fight and the first glimpse of the magic “Irish” Micky could produce.Fighting on the undercard of Pernell Whitaker versus Oscar De La Hoya, Ward was pitted against…
When manufacturers begin to design new boots – a process that can start up to two years before release – they often consult trend forecasters such as WGSN to learn which colours, themes and styles are likely to be ‘in’ when the product eventually hits the shelves.But there are other factors as to why pink has been a hit in football.Of course, players are far more open to wearing extravagant boots than previous generations.But the simple reason the companies have hit upon pink is because of how it contrasts with the green of the pitch.It stands out whether you are…

In December 2019, I boarded a train to Merseyside to watch Arsenal play away at Everton. It was the day after Arteta’s opening press conference as Gunners boss. He wasn’t to take charge of this particular game, enjoying a watching brief. I use the term ‘enjoying’ advisedly because what followed was one of the dullest 0-0 draws I have ever seen. Interim boss Freddie Ljungberg left Ozil, Lacazette and Aubameyang on the bench with Smith Rowe, Saka and Nelson all starters. Such a selection policy calls to mind an outgoing Chancellor writing, ‘good luck, we are all out of money!’…
De La Hoya has been one of several vocal critics of Zuffa Boxing, even testifying before the US Senate opposing changes to the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act.The changes are being backed by Zuffa, who want to transform boxing and have their own leagues, but there are fears those efforts will have a major impact to fighter agency, pay and control over their own futures.Garcia, 27, last fought when he claimed his first major world title with a victory against Mario Barrios by unanimous decision in February, while 29-year-old Benn beat Regis Prograis at a catchweight bout in April. “Ultimately,…
Chinmay Sutar rediscovered his touch just when defending champion MSC Maratha Royals needed it the most, guiding his side into a second successive T20 Mumbai League final with a nervy victory over North Mumbai Panthers at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.The Orange Cap winner from the Royals’ triumphant 2025 campaign had endured a relatively subdued season by his lofty standards. But in a high-pressure semifinal on a sluggish, turning surface, Sutar once again emerged as the difference-maker. His unbeaten 62 (49b, 5×4, 1×6) anchored Royals’ chase of 149 and sealed a place in Saturday’s final, where Siddhesh Lad’s men will…
Too popular, too strong and a deep domestic league is a problem Rouet would love Canada to have.”The fun part with the [Canada] girls being in PWR is the quality of games,” he added.”If you look at the top eight in the PWR, even Bristol, who are last, have six wins.”There are no easy games, and this is the value for the players definitely.”But off the pitch, the [Canada] girls have to live as students. They are not well paid, Rugby Canada doesn’t provide them enough money and their visas don’t allow them to work on the side.”So, PWR is…
England enter the 2026 World Cup at +700 with BetOnline and Lucky Rebel, and +600 at BetNow, placing them third in the outright market behind the two perceived front-runners. Thomas Tuchel’s squad qualified with a perfect eight-win, zero-concession record and carry genuine attacking depth into Group L, where Croatia, Ghana, and Panama await. The market prices England as a realistic contender rather than a favorite, a position that reflects both their qualifying dominance and a pattern of near-misses at major tournaments. Harry Kane leads the attack at 113 caps and 79 international goals, and the supporting cast of Jude Bellingham,…
