Hansi Flick is not concerned about Lamine Yamal’s failure to start the season quickly and has revealed Rodri could make his first start for Barcelona against Rayo Vallecano. Having started their LaLiga title defence with back-to-back victories over Elche and Athletic Club, Barca welcome Rayo to Camp Nou on Monday. Raphinha and Fermin Lopez have each scored three goals in LaLiga already this season, with Karim Adeyemi the other Barca player to find the net in the competition. Yamal, by contrast, has cut a frustrated figure at times since returning from Spain’s triumphant World Cup campaign, failing to provide a…
In just her fifth professional fight, Moore – who has two American national championships from a respectable amateur career – showed admirable guts, but lacked the quality to trouble her foe.It was clear that Dubois has boxed 70 more professional rounds than Moore, and she made light of being four inches shorter to avoid any danger.Now it is anticipated that Dubois, unbeaten in 15 professional fights with 14 wins, will face Baumgardner next year – should the American beat Turhan.Dubois and Baumgardner – who both gave separate media conferences promoting their respective upcoming fights in Birmingham on Thursday – have…

Hrgovic earned that win. After being dropped in the second round, he stayed calm, covered up when necessary, and answered hard enough to keep Itauma working. The crowd encouraged the younger fighter to throw more, while Hrgovic calmly kept stalking him. Even in defeat against Daniel Dubois, Hrgovic landed heavy shots before being stopped on cuts. He lost but showed how much punishment an opponent might have to take to beat him. I would favor Saturday’s version of Hrgovic over Fury even at his high point against Wladimir Klitschko in 2015. Wladimir was gun-shy, repeatedly hesitating when he needed to…

Trainer Robert Garcia sounds more interested in the payday that got away than the middleweight division Vergil Ortiz Jr. is considering. Why keep talking down Josh Kelly instead of talking up a fight with Yoenli Hernandez? “Kelly’s going to take the fight because Kelly could lose to anybody else for a couple hundred thousand. He’ll get maybe a million against Boots,” Robert Garcia told Fight Hub TV in an interview published today. Those figures are Garcia’s estimates, but the argument reveals his thinking. Garcia dismisses Kelly as an IBF champion cashing out and treats Jaron Ennis pursuing unification as evidence…
Lance Pugmire has been a full-time boxing writer for nearly 20 years, serving now as BoxingScene’s U.S. Senior Writer and assistant producer for ProBoxTV’s “BoxingScene Today.” Pugmire capped a near 20-year career at the Los Angeles Times (sports investigations, NHL/MLB beat work, law enforcement/courts and boxing/UFC) to join The Athletic, and then USA Today. Pugmire’s stint at The Times started with the first Israel Vazquez-Rafael Marquez fight and the Oscar De La Hoya-Floyd Mayweather Jnr then-record pay-per-view, leading through a slew of ringside assignments at major bouts, including Mayweather-Pacquiao, Mayweather-Canelo and the Canelo-Golovkin trilogy. Lance’s appreciation for boxing is rooted…
Matthias Jaissle secured his first win in the Premier League for Newcastle United with a 2-0 win away at Tottenham Hotspur in North London on Saturday night. Goals from Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa were enough to seal the three points for the away side, who also kept their first clean sheet of the campaign. REUTERS/Chris Radburn New signing Nico Gonzalez made his debut in the middle of the park after his move from Manchester City, and caught the eye by completing 94% of his attempted passes throughout the match. Whilst the Spaniard produced a composed and reliable display in…
Daniel Dubois will defend his WBO heavyweight world title against former champion Fabio Wardley in a highly anticipated rematch on 17 October at London’s O2 Arena.Londoner Dubois, 28, dethroned Wardley with an 11th-round stoppage in a thrilling all-British showdown in Manchester in May to become a two-time world champion.It was announced during Saturday’s undercard of Moses Itauma’s IBF heavyweight world title fight with Filip Hrgovic, with Dubois and Wardley facing off in the ring. Dubois said he is predicting a “dominant victory” before adding: “Let’s get it on. It’s just a war.”When you get in the water, you’re going to…
“He’s going to be fine with his stamina. He’s just going to slow down. He’s not going to overload on those shots when he almost had him out in the eighth.” Slowing down comes at a price. Throwing fewer combinations gives Hrgovic more time to set his feet and apply pressure. Itauma would need better defense and movement to compensate. The aggression that helped him win exchanges also exhausted him. He cannot assume he will retain control while doing less. Calling it exhaustion also gives too little weight to the punches Hrgovic landed. Fatigue left Itauma exposed, but Hrgovic still…
