Diego Pacheco passed another test Saturday night by stopping Immanuwel Aleem, but promoter Eddie Hearn believes the unbeaten super middleweight still needs one more thing before he becomes one of boxing’s biggest attractions. Following ing Pacheco’s 11th-round knockout of Aleem in Carson, California, Hearn acknowledged that the 25-year-old has yet to land the signature opponent capable of elevating his profile beyond that of a highly regarded contender. “He hasn’t had the breakout night,” Hearn said to Fight Hub TV. “He’s had some brilliant opponents and he’s had some brilliant nurturing in the right direction, but he hasn’t had the breakout…

The team recognised that the issue was that Russell was less comfortable with the car in the medium and high-speed corners of the middle sector. That meant he was making corrections to the steering that Antonelli did not have to do. These cost speed, which needed to be filled in with battery power. As electrical energy is limited, that left Russell down on deployment in the final third of the lap.But after hard work over the weekend Russell made significant inroads into that issue, and Mercedes admitted they were still seeing a straight-line discrepancy that they could not yet explain.Russell,…

There was nothing he could not do on the cricket field.Garry Sobers, long after Don Bradman had stopped playing, brought a rare culture to the game – celebration of feats in every department, with respect in flow for the opponent too. Sobers loved his mastery. He loved his rivals’ excellence all the more.He was flawless. The crease was his kingdom, and he made it known to the opponents. Nothing could unnerve him. He had his way of establishing supremacy, and nothing symbolised it more than the gem of an innings for the Rest of World against the Australians at Melbourne…

Jaron Ennis could be involved in a blockbuster showdown following his sixth-round stoppage victory over Xander Zayas. The 29-year-old dethroned his super-welterweight foe last month, becoming a two-division unified champion by claiming the WBO and WBA world titles. As a result, Ennis could soon secure a three-belt unification match with either Sebastian Fundora or Josh Kelly, the respective WBC and IBF champions. Fundora, however, is expected to defend his title against mandatory challenger Ermal Hadribeaj later this year, while Kelly must defeat Caoimhin Agyarko in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, next Saturday. But while Ennis’ ultimate goal is to become the undisputed…

In addition to their four yellow cards, England gave away 14 penalties to Argentina’s six, taking their tally for the Nations Championship to 34 conceded in three matches. Former England wing Chris Ashton believes this pattern of ill-discipline is a weakness opposition teams will look to exploit. “If you are playing against England, you know they are going to give penalties away and make some stupid errors that result in them losing games,” Ashton told BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra. It’s a problem that’s not lost on the players, with Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, who scored England’s fifth try and lit up…

England’s Thomas Tuchel has now reacted when Trumps’ criticism of England’s performance against Argentina was brought up during a press conference ahead of the ‘bronze’ final against France. Two points to make: 1) The fact that DONALD FUCKING TRUMP could see the problems with England’s…

Diego Pacheco’s next fight may be much bigger than another regional title defense. Moments after Pacheco stopped Immanuwel Aleem in the 11th round on Saturday night at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, promoter Eddie Hearn made it clear he wants the unbeaten super middleweight contender to challenge WBA champion Jaime Munguia in November. Rather than discussing another stay-busy fight, Hearn immediately shifted the conversation toward a world title opportunity in front of Pacheco’s hometown fans. “Is there a better fight than Diego Pacheco against Jaime Munguia for the world super middleweight title?” Hearn said to DAZN Boxing after…

(Geoffrey Knott/Matchroom Boxing) Lightweight top contender and Olympic gold medalist Andy “Diamante” Cruz, 7-1 (4 KOs), became the first to stop previously indestructible Abraham “Fily” Montoya, 24-8-1 (14 KOs), knocking him out in round two. Fighting in the co-main event of the Matchroom Boxing card headlined by the Diego Pacheco-Immanuwel Aleem super middleweight main event at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, and live on DAZN, Cruz’s mix of speed and power proved a stylistic nightmare for Montoya.
