EXCITEMENT abounds in our Enterprise National League this week featuring a full set of matches under floodlights and William Hill News take a look at the action. Memories are still vivid concerning last season’s tumultuous title race where York City pipped Rochdale to top spot when those two clubs drew 1-1 on the final day. Then in a pulsating Promotion Final at Wembley Stadium, Rochdale edged Boreham Wood 3-1 on penalties following a 2-2 draw. Football betting odds would suggest another closely contested title race is unfolding. Only two teams boast 100 percent records after three games played. And two…

Morning. Let’s start today with something that has actually happened, and that’s the Carabao Cup third round draw. First, I’m amazed it’s still Carabao. I thought their sponsorship was finished. No idea why. To this day, I’ve never had a whatever a Carabao is, and I think at this point in my life, that’s not gonna change. Anyway, I don’t think you can even get whatever it is here, which seems like they haven’t properly exploited the market or something like that. It’s not that I’m hankering for a big healthy dollop of fresh Carabao, I’d just like the ability…

“Robinson fought TWENTY times in 1950. Twenty! That would be impossible now. There wouldn’t be 20 shows to fight on or 20 guys to fight!” Aguilar is correct about the modern impossibility. An elite boxer completing 20 fights now would require more available dates, opponents, and regulatory clearance than the current system is built to provide. Many leading fighters struggle to make two appearances within the same calendar year. Robinson Was Not Just Collecting Easy Wins The number loses some meaning if those fights are treated as little more than paid sparring. Robinson’s 1950 schedule included serious opposition across the…

Harvey Barnes revealed Newcastle United’s “ultimate goal is to go all the way” in the EFL Cup after their win over West Brom. The Magpies booked their place in the third round with a 3-2 win at St. James’ Park, with Barnes netting the winner in the 81st minute. West Brom took the lead through Isaac Price early on, but Newcastle were level going into the break as Bazoumana Toure scored his first goal for the club. Newcastle, who unveiled new signing Nico Gonzalez before kick-off, then took the lead early in the second half through half-time substitute Barnes after…

“It’s a theory that the fight was tampered with. For the older boxing guys what do yall think?” Prograis posted on X. Foreman’s own account is more valuable than the theory raised by Prograis. The former heavyweight champion described receiving suspicious-tasting water shortly before the fight in his 2007 memoir, God in My Corner. “Just before the fight with Ali, my trainer handed me a glass of liquid and said, ‘Here’s your water,’” Foreman wrote. “As I took a swig, I almost spit it out. ‘Hey, this water tastes like it has medicine in it.’” Trainer Dick Sadler assured Foreman…

Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter has issued an update on the Abdul Abdulmalik transfer situation in his programme notes. Less than 24 hours after the £1.5m-rated Abdul Abdulmalik asks to leave Boreham Wood, a lengthy statement from Hunter has been published ahead of his side’s game against Boston United on Thursday. Hunter spoke of the outside noise, the recent press leaks, Abdulmalik’s current situation, Hthe player refusing to train and much more. 🗣️ “As such, I’ve decided, rather than do an external interview with the many, that I’d quietly set out my thoughts in these programme notes, as I’m the…

Mikaelian has not been removed from the card, and the development does not mean the fight has been canceled. Zuffa is protecting itself in case King files a lawsuit or attempts to stop Mikaelian from fighting through an injunction. King maintains that he has a binding promotional agreement with Mikaelian. He also claims arrangements were made for the WBC cruiserweight champion to face David Benavidez. Mikaelian has disputed that version, saying he never received formal paperwork for the proposed Benavidez bout before accepting the Opetaia fight. Muted Promotion Makes More Sense The contingency planning may help explain the unusually quiet…

Canelo Alvarez is training to use more footwork against Christian Mbilli, but the adjustment may accelerate the fatigue he is trying to avoid. A 36-year-old fighter with declining output and an unreliable gas tank is preparing to expend more effort against the most relentless combination puncher in the super middleweight division. A video posted by DAZN Boxing shows Canelo circling the ring while working with former opponent Jaime Munguia. The emphasis on footwork signals that Canelo and trainer Eddy Reynoso understand how dangerous remaining stationary will be against Mbilli on October 31 in Riyadh. Mbilli is a nightmare stylistic fit…
