Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video Arsenal kicked off their Champions League campaign last night with a 1-0 win away at Napoli, but the scoreline just does not reflect the dominance or the opportunities we had to score more goals. Mikel Arteta shuffled his pack a bit, bringing in Piero Hincapie, Mikel Merino, Eberechi Eze, and Viktor Gyokeres at the expense of Riccardo Calafiori, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Christos Tzolis and Kai Havertz. I was pleased to see some measure of rotation, as I said in the preview blog we need to use our squad to the fullest,…
Mikel Arteta said his Arsenal team were deserved winners in their Champions League opener against Napoli, suggesting his team could have won by a more comfortable margin. Playing in their first match in the competition since their defeat in last year’s final to Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal came out on top with a 1-0 victory over the Serie A giants. Martin Odegaard scored the decisive goal in the 75th minute, rounding off a brilliant passage of play with an arrowed, left-footed finish that struck the post on its way into the net. But that did not begin to tell half the story,…
Crawford then revealed his angle: “I was just trying to see if you was really ducking @VergilOrtiz now I see. @Timbradleyjr asked you if you had the opportunity to go up and fight @Canelo and you said you belt hunting. Now I don’t have a belt so what the excuse now? I wanna hear this.” The five-division champion is treating himself and Vergil as interchangeable beltless opponents. They are nothing alike commercially. Facing Crawford would be an all-time legacy event carrying a massive payday. He is one of boxing’s biggest names. Vergil owns an interim belt, attracts a smaller audience,…
Pryor’s team claimed it contained peppermint schnapps and Perrier to settle his stomach. Arguello’s camp suspected a stimulant, but no drug tests were taken. Its protest to the WBA went nowhere. The rematch gave Arguello another chance to win a title in a fourth weight class and Pryor an opportunity to clear the stain from his greatest victory. Both carried enormous psychological pressure, yet only Pryor fought as if that pressure energized him. One corner decision also became critical. Arguello dismissed Eddie Futch after the first loss and hired Lupe Sanchez. He later called firing Futch “the biggest mistake of…

Rangers rescued three points at the last possible moment as Bojan Miovski’s stoppage time goal sealed a 1-0 victory over St Mirren at Ibrox. Derek McInnes’ side looked destined to be frustrated after dominating the opening stages but failing to beat inspired goalkeeper Jacob Chapman. REUTERS/Jason Cairnduff Then, in the 91st minute, Ryan Naderi climbed to meet a forward ball and guided it into Miovski’s path. The substitute kept his nerve and beat Chapman to give Rangers the breakthrough they had spent all evening chasing. The hosts had threatened from the outset. Naderi brought an early save from Chapman, Nicolas…
Ruiz briefly owned three unified heavyweight belts. Superfights against Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury waited on the table, only for Ruiz to price himself out with demands that outpaced his drawing power. Instead of capitalizing on his moment, he arrived grossly unprepared for the rematch in Diriyah, then entered a cycle of near-complete abandonment. He managed just four bouts between that night in Saudi Arabia and the opening bell against Knyba. The Knyba loss was the bill finally coming due. Ruiz returned at 254.3 pounds, his lightest weight in eight years. Training camp videos promised a revived contender, yet a…
