“I think Josh Kelly’s a little bit more difficult fight, believe it or not, than Vergil Ortiz. Styles make fights,” said Bradley on his channel. “Josh Kelly don’t look like much, but he’s quick. He got good reflexes. He got some pop on his shots. He’s very deceiving. And he got legs. He gonna move around all night. Boots gonna have to chase. He gonna have to chase.” Bradley compared Kelly’s style with Vergil Jr’s aggressive approach, saying Ennis has historically performed best against opponents who come forward looking to exchange. “They like guys that stand in front of them.…

Naoya Inoue’s showdown with pound-for-pound rival Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez may have to wait, leaving the Japanese superstar potentially searching for another opponent in the meantime. ‘The Monster’ outpointed Junto Nakatani in May – a performance that will live long in the memory of Japanese fight fans.

Not many women have stands or gates named after them. Nat Sciver-Brunt has one.That stand is right here at the Oval, where she produced a captain’s knock (75, 47b, 11×4, 1×6) to first lift England out of deep trouble against South Africa and then into the final of the Women’s T20 World Cup. The Proteas, chasing 170, could only manage 129 for eight.This was Sciver-Brunt’s first match in the tournament after retiring hurt against Ireland a couple of weeks ago. That the Englishwomen did not miss her batting is creditable, no doubt, but on Thursday they needed all her class…
Tim Bradley believes unified junior middleweight champion Jaron “Boots” Ennis could improve his defense by adding another respected boxing mind such as Andre Ward or Floyd Mayweather to his team. “I’ve been thinking that Boots should add maybe another guy to his team,” said Bradley on his channel. “I almost feel like it’s too late now. Boots is set in his ways. Maybe an OG like Andre Ward, where these guys respect, can come in and maybe show him something. Mayweather, maybe.
