It’s been a few days since the youngest heavyweight champion in history, Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KO), joined the podcast of the legend of this genre. He plans to return to the world ring on November 28, when he will share it in an eight-round exhibition with the equally famous compatriot Roy Jones Jr. (66-9, 47 KO). Jamie Foxx is supposed to play you in a movie. It will be a ride. If anyone can play it, he’s a very talented man. It will be very interesting. Jamie is a great actor. Michael Jai White has played you in a biographical film in the past. Did you give him any advice? I was just in jail when it was filming. I met him a few times, he’s a nice guy. Jamie Foxx and I are discussing a film about me, it’s really in great shape. It would be interesting to write a book about everything Cus ever told you, how he advised you … I don’t know, some of the things he told me probably wouldn’t be very cool today. Cus was born in 1908, and people at that time had different views than they do now, such as women and things like that. Racial matters, Irish and such. It was a different time. Cus was always a respected man in the neighborhood, people came to him for advice. He loved it, and loved teaching people new things. He obviously had a vast knowledge of the human mind. Interestingly, when he died and Camille cleared his room, she found many books on psychology and mystical matters. He believed in these things, in the spiritual thing, zen and so on. He believed that we were not just individuals, but that it was more. According to him, our body was just a...

Tyson at Rogan I .: Fucking 30 seconds destroyed me … A match can lead you to orgasm
It’s been a few days since the youngest heavyweight champion in history, Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KO), joined the podcast of the legend of this genre. He plans to return to the world ring on November 28, when he will share it in an eight-round exhibition with the equally famous compatriot Roy Jones Jr. (66-9, 47 KO). Below you can read the first part of Rogan’s conversation with Tyson … When I saw the first video of you training on your lap, I said to myself, “This is no ordinary training, this guy is preparing for something, for a match.” You mean the first video? So after that I was a week away. It was a fucking 30 seconds and I couldn’t move for a week. It wasn’t funny at all, because I realized that this is no ass. Joe Rogan plays a small sample from Tyson’s training … This is now, not the first video. Now I can stand 5 or 6 rounds. But it got me for the first time. All the pain and injuries that caused me to end my career came back at that moment. So when you started training again, did you start slowly? Extremely slow. I started doing all those different things to regenerate my body that I had never heard of before. You look great man, you have big muscles, you’re in shape, you just look damn good. Most of all, I started to feel good. That’s the most interesting thing about it. When exactly did you start training again? I started training sometime in April or late March. So now it’s been about four months since you started. How far do you think you will be on the day of the match? We’ll see how I do in November. Why did you... - September 24, 2020LONDON – Fans of professional boxing and heavyweight in particular can look forward to another great duel usyk and Chisora. Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed yesterday that a twice-delayed clash between Ukrainian Alexander Usyk (17-0, 13 KO) and British Dereck Chisora (32-9, 23 KO) will take place in the British Isles on October 31st. Surely you’ve noticed this on social media. Here the Ukrainian made a British wound a joke on the water, here in the gym while strengthening the abdominal muscles, here he stabbed him with his dance. A Briton born in Zimbabwe immediately countered, for example, a similar show with belly and sparring partner (and manager) David Hay for belly training. It was to be expected that something was going on, that the announcement of their twice-delayed duel was approaching. The first time it was the coronavirus (who else) as well, the second injury to the shoulder of the Ukrainian star, the former absolute king of the Crusades. But now they’re both ready, hungry. The pause was too long. For both. Usyk boxed for the last time in mid-October last year, when he dusted off substitute Chazz Witherspoon (38-4, 29 KO) at the heavyweight premiere in seven rounds. Chisora’s break is only two weeks shorter, at the end of the same month in four rounds he destroyed compatriot David Price (25-7, 20 KO). “I really missed boxing a lot. I work hard at the training camp to be ready for October 31st. I expect a real test, Dereck is strong, hard and durable. He’s a really big guy who has a hard hit, “said the Olympic champion from London at the announcement of the third, and we firmly believe that the deadline for this much-watched fight. Duels, which should be a real entrance test for Usyka in...

On Thursday 17 Milan will play the second qualifying round in the Europa League against Shamrock Rovers (at 20), and the team seems to have already been decided. All ready for the season debut, here we are. WHO PLAYS? Several absences for the Rossoneri: Pioli will have to do without Romagnoli, Conti and Rebic. The first two in the pits due to physical problems, the last out due to disqualification. Usually 4-2-3-1. Between the posts it’s up to Donnarumma, then line 4 with Calabria, Gabbia, Kjaer and Theo. In midfield, in the two in the middle, space for Bennacer and Kessiè (Paquetà on the bench).Calhanoglu attacking midfielder, Castillejo on the right and finally a slight doubt on the left, where Saelemaekers remains ahead of Brahim Diaz and Maldini jr.

Inter and Lautaro closer. The agents: “Stay”. Lay the groundwork for renewal. Unless…
Inter and Lautaro closer. The agents of Toro in the Nerazzurri headquarters: “Real and Barça? Nothing, remains in Milan”. However, if an offer of 80-90 million comes in, the scenario could change. Certainties will not be available until 8 pm on 5 October, but today Lautaro Martinez is more Inter than he was yesterday. A meeting at the Inter headquarters between the Nerazzurri transfer men and the two agents of Toro served to lay the foundations for a renewal with adaptation that should tie the Argentine forward to Inter until 2025, with a salary of 6 million per season. In fact, double (including bonuses) of what Lautaro received in the recently concluded season. This renewal, however, would not materialize before the closing of the market, set precisely for 5 October. TIME IS RUNNING OUT Sergio Zarate and Beto Yaque left the Nerazzurri headquarters in the late afternoon, after an hour of meeting. Yaque, pressed by the reporters, explained: “Courtesy visit. That’s all, just this. Real and Barca? Nothing, Lautaro is here at Inter. ” Then we know that the ways of the transfer market are endless and that if someone – especially Barcelona, if they perfected certain releases – were to come up with a certain type of offer (minimum 80-90 million) the prospects could change. Because, especially in this market marked by the collapse in revenues due to viruses, no one (or almost) is unsellable at certain figures.However, it is true that we are in mid-September and that time is running out. Especially since replacing one of the Taurus weight would not be easy. - September 14, 2020
WBO duo Dubois already wants Joshua. Veteran Martinez is the sixth WBA in the middleweight
Other incomprehensible steps were demonstrated by the boxing federations WBA and WBO, which certainly do not save on similar matters. After the previous weekend, Sergio Martinez (52-3-2, 29 KO) and Daniel Dubois (15-0, 14 KO) jumped in their rankings. It should be mentioned at the outset that in both cases they are great boxers. Great boxers with one big but. Maybe more but …Forty-five-year-old Martinez, a world boxing legend and one of the best midweights of the last three decades, has returned to the ring after a six-year hiatus from losing to Puerto Cotican Miguel Cotto. After that, he retired to boxing and began working as a promoter and manager. Both the native of Quilmes in Argentina on the European continent, specifically in Spain, did very well. But his fists itched, his knees healed “miraculously,” and “Maravilla” decided to return. Even before the duel with the average Gijon native Jose Miguel Fandin (15-7, 8 KO), the WBA promised him a possible way to the world title. Gilbert Mendoza’s condition was a winning streak. But … To get straight to the sixth place in the rating of this federation in the middle weight, a seven-round victory over Fandin was enough for Martinez. What about the fact that the beating nicknamed “Traumatologist” is everything but a top beating. Although – it is true – that three years ago he managed to torment the silver medalist from the 2012 Olympics, Brazilian Esquiva Falcaa (26-0, 18 KO). By the way, in the final of the Games in London, he was not enough for a certain Japanese Rjot Murat (16-2, 13 KO), then a regular WBA middleweight champion. Yes, the same Murat that Martinez also targets. “This is the beginning of something big, I have a few more matches in my head so I can... - September 14, 2020
Another comeback for boxing. TV giant NBC Sports is back, it wants to revive the legend
TV giant NBC is back.Although most of the world is counting financial losses and bleeding in this regard, the television company NBC Sports is reportedly planning to return to the world of professional boxing. So far, without an exclusive contract with one of the promoters, it is still an interesting step. The American boxing market has been firmly divided in recent years into three sectors: Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) has contracts with FOX Sports (a company belonging to the consortium of billionaire Rupert Murdoch) and Showtime Boxing (ViacomCBS Media). Matchrom Boxing USA and Golden Boy Boxing have the streaming entity DAZN (Perform Group belonging to billionaire Leonard Blavatnik) behind them. Top Rank Boxing together with the UFC belongs under the banner of ESPN (part of the giant The Walt Disney Company). For even better illustration – the main TV trio overseas are ABC (this includes ESPN), CBS (this is FOX Sports) and NBC. And it is this that is now to return to high boxing.This is through the Ring City series, which should start on Thursday, November 19, the next two evenings are ready for December 3 and 17. In 2021, it should be a regular broadcast. It will be a de facto restart of the once popular USA Tuesday Night Fights series (ESPN, on the other hand, previously aired ESPN Friday Fight Nights), which did not focus on the biggest stars of the boxing world, but also introduced new talents of the boxing world through a pre-created documentary. At least until the beginning, it will not be about the competition mentioned by the captured giants, but rather about a clever addition to the hole in the market. Boxing talents are currently represented in a separate series only by Showtime Boxing in “ShoBox Next Gen”. NBC Sports’ budget – Ring... - Pirlo needs a striker: the pros and cons of all the names on the black and white notebook. Number 9 wanted. Higuain left for Miami, Dybala is still in the pits. Juve has not yet solved the puzzle about the next starting forward to give to Andrea Pirlo: several tracks are evaluated, the names are now known. Cristiano Ronaldo is waiting to know the name of his next partner, the company carefully studies all the hypotheses: from Suarez to Dzeko, from Cavani to Morata. Cristiano Ronaldo is waiting to know the name of his next partner, the company carefully studies all the hypotheses: from Suarez to Dzeko, from Cavani to Morata. Up to Giroud, the last name in chronological order. Five paths marked but not yet clearly traced: there are careful evaluations to be made, every move has to be weighed. And each track has its pros and cons. SUAREZ Why yes Il Pistolero is a big hit, a world-class player accustomed to confronting the most important stages. His is a thick profile that guarantees goals and performances, a mix of numbers and qualities that would make the couple with Ronaldo potentially lethal (without forgetting Dybala). His desire to move to Turin is clear, as evidenced by the non-exorbitant contract requests made to Juve. Why not Bureaucratic issues are the first obstacle: the passport is missing, Suarez is studying to pass the Italian level B1 exam. When the question is resolved, only then, will Juve be able to knock on Barcelona’s door with credibility to negotiate. Some doubts remain about the physical strength and performance in the Champions League: lately in Barcelona the gordo controversy (an evergreen in Spain) has often come out for a few extra pounds, especially after the lockdown. And in recent seasons in Europe the Pistolero...

Kovalev was not an A opponent, DAZN retreated. But now Canelo is being pushed against the wall
PRAGUE – Next weekend he had to fight in the ring again in his native Mexico in the ring Canelo Alvarez (53-1-2, 36 KO). But one of the biggest stars in world boxing is still waiting to see what happens next. And the agreement is in sight … Mexico was to celebrate Independence Day by completing a trilogy with Kazakh Gennady Golovkin (40-1-1, 35 KO). Such was the February deal with the British Bill Joe Saunders (29-0, 14 KO). May clash with a left-handed bomber from the islands and then a third clash with “GGG”.The coronavirus pandemic destroyed everything. And one of the richest boxers on the planet still doesn’t know when he will box again. Reason? Backstage games by its promoter Golden Boy Boxing, led by Oscar de la Hoya and streaming giant DAZN. He pays Alvarez $ 35 million for the match, another $ 5 million is set aside for his opponents. In total, that’s over $ 365 million for 11 matches and six years. This is an agreement from the end of 2018 after the second clash with Golovkin, which the Mexican controversially won 2-0 on points. So far, he has cut three pieces from it. Parts that did not meet the payer’s expectations, ie DAZN. The warm-up duel with the British Rocky Fielding was de facto just about making history and winning the belt in the third weight. Alvarez succeeded, as did the subsequent triumph in the middle weight again against Daniel Jacobs and another historic window last November, when the triumph for the Russian Sergei Kovalev and the title in the fourth weight division came. Strange as it may seem, none of the opponents met the requirements of the streaming giant led by CEO John Skipper and owned by billionaire Len Blavatnik in the name... - Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kanté managed a new bluffing match in recovery to allow the Blues to control Sweden this Saturday (1-0). We would almost come to no longer being moved, so N’Golo Kanté panics the counters match after match to recovery. But in a very dull back- to- school game for the Blues in Sweden this Saturday (1-0) , the French Little Big Man took the light as rarely. The Chelsea player recovered a trifle of 13 balls against the Swedes at Friends Arena, a huge total when compared to other players on the pitch. Author of a clean performance, Adrien Rabiot only managed to scratch 8 balloons for example. 69 balls recovered in five matches N’Golo Kanté thus became the first player to recover at least 10 balls in five consecutive matches with the France team (69 in total) since Opta analyzed the selection (2006). Monstrous. Against the Swedes, the world champion managed five interceptions, and won eight duels out of fourteen, including the three he played in the aerial field. He is the Frenchman who touched the most balls (88) and who made the most passes in the opposing camp (43, 86% success).His middle position (n ° 13) proves to what extent he has planned to provide offensive solutions, compared to Rabiot next to him (n ° 14).

Great heavyweight fight! Miocic defended the position of ruler, Cormier ends up half-blind
LAS VEGAS – A large heavyweight trilogy between Americans Stip Miocic and Daniel Cormier ended in victory for the champion, who won 3-0 points in five rounds (2x 49-46 and 48-47). The loser “DC” left behind the scenes immediately after the announcement of the results and definitely retired … Let the first sentence of the title be in the words of one of the best basketball players of all time, LeBron James, whom he typed on his Twitter immediately after the last stroke of the third duel between Miocice and Cormier. And be more than apt for what fans around the world – including “King James” – have witnessed. The first round was de facto under the control of the champion, soon 38-year-old Miocic. One long cap of his opponent was enough to go for a break in the more comfortable Cormier and the lawyer, on the other hand, with a decent hum of his head. And also with a slightly damaged eye. Also in the third mutual duel, “DC” reached him uncomfortably. At that moment, he probably had no idea what fate would give him for the last duel of his career for all the “eye pokes”. First, Miocic gave him a brutal conclusion in the second five-minute period, when he was close to the end, but forty-one-year-old Cormier managed it with a mesh, tied it in the champion’s seat and did not allow him to strike a decisive blow. He came in round number three. It was the “eye poke” that was more than ugly from repeated shots. Cormier complained to the head Mark Goddard, but he didn’t see him (DC apologized only after the match after watching repeated shots).As he confirmed in his corner, he hadn’t seen his eye since. Yet he continued to fight. He leveled... - September 9, 2020
Blues: Antoine Griezmann’s decline in influence against Sweden
Antoine Griezmann’s statistics during his last two selections with the Blues reveal similarities in his placement, in Albania (2-0) and Sweden (1-0). But the impression in the game is quite different. We already knew in difficulty last season with Barça, but history seems to have gradually caught up with Antoine Griezmann in the France team, where he is however the author of 30 goals and 23 assists in 79 caps. Because even if Didier Deschamps still positions him in a role of playmaker and free electron in the attack of the Blues, his performance noticed in Albania (2-0) , in qualifying for Euro 2020, and that much duller in Sweden (1-0) , in the League of Nations this Saturday night, give a diametrically opposite impression in his performance. More duels won in Albania In terms of shots, “Grizou” does not often try his luck. Against Albania, his only shot ended in goal. On Saturday, his two attempts were off target, with a recovery against goal (76th) and a missed penalty (90th + 5). His ability to cross was much more expressed in Tirana, with 7 crosses attempted and 5 successful (for an assist on a set piece for Tolisso), compared to Solna, where the Barcelona only found a taker. twice out of 4 attempts. Very low efficiency in front of and around the goal against Sweden for the player depositing the French game.His impact in duels was also three times greater in Albania than in Sweden. Griezmann won 3 duels against Albania (out of 6) against only 1 in Sweden (out of 3). His defensive commitment also appeared to be declining according to the statistics. The former Atlético de Madrid player had recovered 5 balls in Albania, he stopped at 3 against Sweden. Little complicity with Giroud In this 3-5-2... - September 7, 2020
Joshua: I’ll rip his head off. Fury: My soft punches destroyed two KO destroyers, he’s third
LONDON – British Anthony Joshua (23-1, 21 KO) and Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KO) are increasingly competing through social networks and official talks after a face-to-face meeting in Marbella, Spain. This time their verbal shootout was started by the first one. “The first six rounds, I’ll work with him for so long, then I’ll knock him out. I had a shorter career, I was fresher, I experienced more complications and I was able to get out of them. I believe I can handle the pressure. I have respect for him, he’s a great father from his family, but I’ll rip his head off, “said a 30-year-old native of Watford, who is 14 months younger than his big rival, in one of the interviews.He found himself in big trouble in a duel with the Ukrainian Vladimir Klitschko, he was also shaken several times by the Russian Alexander Povetkin, to have their work completed last June by the American with Mexican roots Andy Ruiz Jr., who sent him to four counts in seven rounds. But Fury was also on the floor of the ring. Even in more matches than Joshua. His impressive return in the first, draw duel with Deontay Wilder has already been written about in the clouds. However, the native of Manchester himself admits that his career started in the right direction of counting from the ninety-five-American American Steve Cunningham in 2013 (in the second round). By the way, both the Joshua-Ruiz and Fury-Cunningham duel were American premieres of British talent. In both cases, they took place in Madison Square Garden. In both cases, they ended up in the seventh round. And in both cases, the winners were first on the floor of the ring. “It was a turning point,” Fury admitted over time. “The down that I had prepared... - PRAGUE – Jose Carlos Ramirez (26-0, 17 KO), an American with Mexican roots, has passed the biggest test of his career so far, beating just 2-0 in points at the MGM Grand Bubble on Sunday night (116-112, 115-113 and 114-114) Ukrainian veteran Viktor Postol (31-3, 12 KO).Only in the title battles with undefeated opponents has the 36-year-old Postol lost so far. Two years ago, he was defeated by Briton Josh Taylor in a battle for the WBC Silver belt, and two years back by American Terence Crawford. At the time, there were the same belts in the game as this time against Ramirez – WBC and WBO.And it can be said that “Ice Man” was closest to triumph. Both in terms of results and optics. “I was very cold there because of the repeated delays and the fact that there was no boxing in front of the fans. I felt like I was sparring. I could have made the match easier, but I did it. We are still learning and I was learning today. It was an amazing experience in the end, “smiled the 28-year-old winner after the duel. He managed to shake his opponent more significantly in the seventh and eighth rounds, but did not get him into the counting. On the contrary, Postol was able to repeatedly disrupt his attacks with his front hand, and although his juice gradually ran out, he persevered to dance on his feet until the end. “I am much stronger than many people think. Both experts and rivals. But today it was really hard, I have to stay confident, work on myself, let my hands do what they want, do not hesitate, do not think so much. I think I had ideal moments there several times, “he added critically. Nevertheless, he can celebrate...

OPINION Covid bullying of sports and nonsensical theater for cameras. When will it end?
PRAGUE – Unfortunately, the latest events in the world of sports beautifully confirm the current covid time, which showed in full nudity not only the positives of society, but also its negatives. By April or May, officials across the sports industry had begun to address the “covid rules” so that they could compete in different arenas as soon as possible. The initial joy of athletes is that they can finally do something, but alternates with disappointment or even anger. Their and the fans. Three examples for all? French tennis player Benoit Paire had a positive test for covid-19 just before the start of the US Open in New York, which meant the end of the first grand slam of the season for him. And for those who came in contact with him, isolation. And so strict. “They are absolutely appalling about us. I could talk about so many things going on here … I feel like we’re prisoners. Even for the smallest possible move, we have to ask permission, even if they test us daily and we have 37 negative results, “said Kristina Mladenovicová, outraged after falling out in the second round of the tournament. She, of course, came into contact with her friend, as did the other French. There is nothing strange about it, because Radko Gudas – the Czech side of Washington – after falling out of the playoffs told how he and his compatriots from other teams in the bubble in Toronto met before the start of the Stanley Cup fight on the hotel roof to drink beer and pokecali. But back to Manhattan, if Mladenovic also falls out of the doubles (and given her broken psyche, it’s not unrealistic), she still has to stay in isolation in her hotel room until the end of the tournament,... - September 3, 2020
Bye bye Barça: Rakitic at Sevilla, then Vidal, Suarez … A big player on the market
Not only Messi, after Koeman’s arrival half of Barcelona has his bags ready. The Croatian Rakitic returns to Andalusia, the Chilean wants Inter, Juve at the window for the Uruguayan. Here are the thorniest cases. Koeman effect on the market of the great Europeans, including the Italian ones. The new Barcelona coach had in fact practically drawn up a list of illustrious unwanted who are now finding hospitality elsewhere. The first to marry was Ivan Rakitic, who at 32 returns to take care of the Sevilla midfield. But the business in sight doesn’t stop there. VIDAL AND INTER Arturo Vidal is in the crosshairs of Inter and in this sense Rakitic’s own agreement with the winners of the Europa League could help: Sevilla for the termination of the contract and the severance pay claimed by the Croatian would have guaranteed an indemnity to Barça . A path that could also be followed by other clubs interested in Koeman’s unwelcome ones, even if for Vidal the Nerazzurri expect the player’s agents to negotiate the issue with the Catalans. Inter have already reached an agreement with the Chilean for a two-year period of 6 million euros net per season, now we just have to wait for the waters to calm down at Barça (especially shaken by the Messi case) and the time to define everything. SUAREZ AND JUVE – A similar argument applies to Suarez, another to whom Koeman said no. Here it is Juve to wink at the attacker , for whose card he would like to spend little or nothing, given that the Uruguayan at Barcelona earns 15 million euros. A reduction is inevitable, which for the bianconeri would also be favored by the Growth Decree which brings important tax reliefs, but it would still remain a demanding investment if... - Luis Suarez surpasses Dzeko: there is an agreement for a three-year period of 10 million per season. But the tip must free itself from the Blaugrana. There may soon be a loaded gun around Turin, ready to fire if the opportunity arises. Luis Suarez, the fastest gunman in the West, is battling in Barcelona with the club that loved him for six seasons before turning his back on him, but meanwhile thinks about the future. Think of the change, he still sees himself in a big top spot in the Champions League.And that’s where Juventus takes over, an old acquaintance of the youth with whom Luis has returned to talk every day now that he is 33 years old. His entourage, which revolves around the lawyer Alejandro Balbi (at home he is also vice-president of Nacional Montevideo), has already dealt with the contract with the Bianconeri managers: the agreement for a three-year Juventus season was reached without particular complexity, but first you need the rest. On the termination front, in fact, the situation becomes complicated: getting rid of the Catalan prison quickly is not easy. The Uruguayan striker, more and more in the smell of Juventus, however, took very badly the way in which Barcelona chose to accompany him kindly to the goal. Now he demands fair economic treatment before leaving the disorder. THE SCENERY- Suarez, who has a very rich salary of 15 million net for another season, was courted by the bianconeri even before ending up at Liverpool. Once it was verified that the interest still exists, he immediately said that he would gladly go to Turin. In short, the problem is certainly not the desire, if anything, the time, given that Juve has simultaneously woven the canvas for Edin Dzeko: the Giallorossi center forward has long been...
- PRAGUE – The boxing world experienced another surprise after a week. From two counts, Russian Alexander Povetkin (36-2-1, 25 KO) was able to knock out the favored Brit Dillian Whyt (27-2, 18 KO) and shuffle the heavyweight cards properly. And to show that some sayings have their justification.Boxing has already experienced that evidence, and especially heavy weight a lot. Not only in the professional, but in the amateur ring. But not as emphatic for a long time as now. Yes, Whyte himself managed to win from counting last year, Vladimir Kličko for a while turned the course of history in a duel with Anthony Joshua, just as Andy Ruiz showed again with Joshua last year. But none of them showed what Povetkin did. Or, for example, in 2013 at the Amateur World Championships in Almaty, Azerbaijani Magomedras Medzidov, who lost two rounds with his home favorite Ivan Dykek, but in the third he showed a great KOJust like now Povětkin. He turned the three rounds knocked out in the fourth Whyte into an unequivocal affair when he sent the Russian twice to the ground. Especially the second down was very difficult. But this time, Brit, which he is most accused of and I don’t understand personally, did not show the killer instinct. He didn’t reach the Russian right away, he didn’t try. He himself explained this with caution, knowing how dangerous he was when he was shaken. But in the end, he still paid for this caution. A heavy knockout that caused him a headache due to big, title desires.With a heavy knockout that plunged into the mouths of most of those who evaluated the duel (and then dug into Whyt’s) the familiar formula: “A boxing match can decide one blow.

- August 30, 2020With a press release, La Liga supports barça in the dispute with the Pulce. The contract is valid until June 2021 and the termination fine must be paid in full. New chapter in the battle between Messi and Barça. To write it is a more than authoritative source, La Liga, which openly takes the side of the Blaugrana club with an official statement issued a few minutes ago. Basically, for the institutional bodies the contract between the Argentine and Barça expires in June 2021 , therefore Messi remains in all respects a culé player. If he wants to free himself, he will have to pay the full amount of the release clause, that is 700 million euros.

Consequently, the official statement further clarifies, “La Liga will not grant the transfer to the player until after the payment of the amount foreseen by the release clause”. A hard blow for the Pulce, whose position weakens significantly in the tug-of-war with the blaugrana club. MESSI’S DAD- In any case, according to the Mundo Deportivo, there will soon be a meeting between the Messi family and the blaugrana club. Jorge, Leo’s father and representative, intends to leave Rosario this week to reach Barcelona: Wednesday could be the day of the summit with President Bartomeu, looking for a soft solution to overcome the impasse. But no one expects such a quick solution at the moment: the two sides are too far apart today.

Messi to PSG? Tuchel dreams of MMN with Mbappè and Neymar, but it’s a complicated affair …
Parisians want Messi but they have a deficit of 120 million due to the coronavirus epidemic, but if Uefa widens the mesh of financial fair play … More than a scenario, a dream at first sight impossible. The PSG, however, inevitably remains among the possible destinations of Lionel Messi, both for the economic potential of the Parisian company, and for the now acquired sporting respectability, after the Champions League final. A goal made possible also thanks to Leonardo, the sports director who in one year straightened the fate of the Emir of Qatar’s club. RULES- In 12 months, in fact, the sporting director has restored order and brought some discipline back to a team where everything seemed to be in perdition. It is also the fault of the previous management of Antero Henrique, which turned out to be bankrupt as the balance sheet of last season when PSG had to settle for a championship and the super cup, losing the national cups, ending up again out of the knockout stages of the Champions League after a new humiliating comeback. from a Manchester United full of reserves and kids.From there Leonardo started again, firmly managing the useless negotiation with Barcelona, who thought he could recover Neymar with a few tens of millions and various counterparts of dubious value; and then imposing clear rules on everyone. Even in the locker room, too prone to partying and unfiltered use of social media. Also attracting some bad mood from the stars. A strategy that nevertheless brought results, also facilitating the work of the coach Tuchel, with whom perhaps there is no great feeling, but who was able to work at least in a more serene atmosphere. COMPARISON – The future of the coach remains an open topic, given that the French media take it... - August 27, 2020

The Parisian club thanks the Brazilian central who might move to Chelsea with a video and a note: “Eight years of unforgettable memories, leadership and commitment” “One of the biggest”.

Bartomeu: “Ready to resign if Messi stays”. But in Argentina sure of the agreement with the City
According to TV3, the Blaugrana number one Bartomeu would be ready to step aside to keep the Flea. But in South America the rumors are increasing that by now with the Citizens there would already be the ok on the engagement and duration of the contract. The Catalan broadcaster Tv3 claims that the president of Barcelona, Bartomeu, is trying to make a desperate move, while at the same time discharging the responsibility for the eventual farewell to Messi . Bartomeu would be willing to resign, but as long as the Flea puts his face on it by publicly stating that the only obstacle to his stay in Catalonia is him. Meanwhile, in Argentina they insist on the impossibility for Messi to back down, assuring that “the decision to leave Barcelona is now irrevocable, regardless of any move by the management, including any resignation”. Furthermore, the negotiation between La Pulce and the City would almost be in the pipeline: there would already be an agreement on the duration of the contract and on the engagement. - August 25, 2020PRAGUE – A change in silence, unobtrusively, as if nothing had happened. This Saturday night, a British heavyweight talent named Daniel Dubois (14-0, 13 KO) will be challenged by an unknown Dutchman Ricardo Snijders (18-1, 8 KO). And the originally planned German Erik Pfeifer (7-0, 5 KO) is furious. The story lasts de facto ten days. Earlier this weekend, Mike Coppinger of The Ahtletics reported that Briton Daniel Dubois and his promoter Frank Warren were looking for a replacement for Erik Pfeifer, who could not undo the expected match of heavyweight talent. At the same time, the German media informed about how the German Olympian is preparing for his big match, how everything is going in preparation, as it should and as it is in tune with the form. It almost seemed that information from the British Isles would cross the Atlantic faster than the English Channel. That congestion on European roads? Hard to say, in any case, in the middle of last week, the information was definitively confirmed. Pfeifer was withdrawn from the match and was replaced by 26-year-old Snijders, an unknown Dutchman with experience mainly in kickboxing. He was ready to snap in for a similar case, so he should be in preparation, but … “They are afraid, they are protecting their asterisk, their words that justify it are bullshit. We sent them all the necessary medical records in time to find out about Erik’s withdrawal through social networks, and not from them in person. They stopped communicating completely, it’s a bunch of scraps. Warren, his son and their entire team, “Erol Ceylan, Pfeifer’s promoter and manager, was furious for the German media. “If we were afraid of him, why would we put him in a match at all, why would we want him? Daniel was never afraid...

Brit Dillian Whyte (27-1, 18 KO) will defend the provisional WBC belt against Russian rancher Alexander Povetkin (35-2, 24 KO). The winner is the better of the pair Tyson Fury – Deontay Wilder. “It is scandalous that a match between the two best will not take place in a sport for three years. Champion and his challenger. Everyone is responsible, but most of all Deontay Wilder, who is a dusty scumbag, “Whyte, 32, was still told ESPN two days before the battle with Povětkin, who was eight years older. “I’ve been loyal to everyone for a long time, including WBC, but it’s time to get what I deserve. I received a promise by the summer of 2020, in the end it shifted due to that nonsense (positive doping finding) and now there is a deadline until the end of February 2021, “continued the London beater born in Jamaica. He last stood in the ring last December, when he pushed the Polish “Viking” Mariusz Wach (36-6, 19 KO) with great difficulty in Saudi Arabia. Interestingly, Whyte was the heaviest of the pair in this conflict, albeit by about half a kilogram. “He’s been going to a big fight since the summer (which Wach has admitted several times), I found out about it three weeks before the opening gong, but I was better in six of the ten laps,” he returned by the end of last year. “The Body Snatcher” . Behind this non-standard distribution of forces for the favorites, one can look for the aforementioned positive doping finding just before the July match with Oscar Rivas. Despite counting and problems in the end, Whyte was able to control him,...
- August 25, 2020LOS ANGELES – Although the post-coronavirus crisis has also forced legendary Filipino Manny Pacquiao (62-7-2, 39 KO) to think about closed-door matches, his longtime coach Freddie Roach is convinced that this year’s 42-year-old senator in his country is also considering ending his career. The legendary boxing coach, who celebrated his 60th birthday in March, and an Filipino boxer eighteen years younger, has been a sports couple for the third decade, although in the past they traveled for about a year and a half. Few people know “Pacman” as well as the head of California’s Wild Card Boxing.“I believe he will be boxing by the end of this year. And if not, then at the beginning of the next one. Even without spectators, “Roach told Boxingscene.com. At the top of his personal list of potential opponents is the American beater Mikey Garcia (40-1, 30 KO), the champion of four weights, who, like Pacquiao, is one of the smaller velterweights. And who has not yet reached the world belt in this division. The WBA Super title that the Philippine senator is currently holding could be one of his many great attractions. Especially when on February 29 Garcia dealt with an interesting duel with Jesse Vargas, who was also defeated by Pacquiao in 2016. Both managed to send the beater nicknamed “The Pride from Las Vegas” into the count, but did not finish before the limit. Still above Garcia, there is another American beat at Roach. Undefeated beat. Floyd Mayweather, though he knows very well that it is more a wish than a reality. “I really want the two of me against each other again. You know, after the fourth round, Manny told me that the shoulder was in trouble again (Pacquiao injured him in a camp for this duel, after a famous...

AGREEMENT SIGNED! Lomachenko gave up part of the money and will face Lopez in October
LAS VEGAS – On Wednesday evening, speculations about an agreement between the Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko (14-1, 10 KO) and the American Teofim Lopez (15-0, 12 KO) were confirmed. The game will be the number one lightweight, in which the WBC (Franchise), WBA and WBO belts hold the phenomenon from Eastern Europe. The day before, well-informed overseas sources released the news that the 32-year-old Lomachenko had given up part of his finances in favor of the nine younger Lopez and signed an agreement to fight him. A day later, a 23-year-old Brooklyn native did the same.“We have reached an agreement. It will not be boxed on October 3, as originally planned, but we have an agreement. It was difficult, but we agreed.

From Vienna with Real to Cologne with Sevilla: the history of Inter’s European finals
The Inter match against the Spaniards will be the tenth final for the Nerazzurri: the balance is six won and three lostCUP OF CHAMPIONS- After the 5-0 victory over Shakhtar, Inter reach the tenth European final. Over the course of history, the Nerazzurri have won six finals (two in the Champions Cup, one in the Champions League and three in the Uefa Cup) and lost three (two in the Champions Cup and one in the Uefa Cup). 1963/64 – IN VIENNA, INTER BEAT REAL MADRID 3-1 – The Inter of the magician Herrera beat the winner of the first five editions of the competition at the Praterstadion in Vienna with goals from Milani and Mazzola. 1964/65 – AT THE MEAZZA INTER WIN WITH BENFICA 1-0- Having reached the second consecutive final, Jair gave Inter the lead on the end of the first half, allowing the team of captain Picchi to raise the trophy in the Giuseppe Mezza home stadium. 1966/67 – IN LISBON INTER LOST 2-1 BY CELTIC – Despite the advantage obtained with a penalty in the 7th minute (Mazzola’s goal), Celtic recovered with Tommy Gemmell and Steve Chalmers. Inter will not raise their third trophy at the Estádio Nacional in Oeiras, in the Lisbon district. 1971/72 – AJAX BEAT INTER 2-0 IN ROTTERDAM – At De Kuip in Rotterdam, Inter were defeated by Johan Cruyff’s brace, which allowed Ajax to win the second European Cup. CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2009/2010 – INTER WIN OVER BAYERN MUNICH WITH A BRACE FROM MILITO – At the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, José Mourinho’s Inter beat Van Gaal’s side thanks to two goals from the Argentine forward.

The final, which will be played on Friday against Sevilla (a very different opponent compared to Ludogorets, Getafe, Bayer Leverkusen and Shakhtar), comes after a match that has never had history. Yes, because even before the last half hour, in which Inter devastated the Ukrainians, there was never the feeling that Shakhtar could put the Nerazzurri in difficulty. NET SUPERIORITY- A very tender tiki-taka between metacampo and trocar, with only Junior Moraes in the area and the total inability to create dangers for Handanovic, who only got his hands dirty in the second half on the header of the same Moraes, when he was already 2-0 ahead . This is the proposal of the Ukrainians. Inter waited for Shakhtar, and when they managed to restart it was devastating. With the brackets of a Lautaro that of the best days returned, and of a Lukaku who overflowed into the distance. THE MATCH- Pyatov, a veteran goalkeeper historically disastrous with his feet, after 19 ‘serves Barella on the trocar in an embarrassing attempt to build from below. The former Cagliari is very good at crossing and putting it on the head of Lautaro, who does not forgive. Conte’s perfect match plan leaves a sterile ball possession to a beautiful team to watch but totally inconsistent. Inter doubles in the second half on a corner: D’Ambrosio, one of the key men of this season finale, jumps to the head of the unthinkable Matvienko and heads double. It is the decisive goal, because the...
- The former AC Milan player who will play Inter scored the same goal: “United made us suffer, but it was a great evening. I’m very happy to be here” If the Europa League is the home of Sevilla (fourth final won in the competition and three trophies on the showcase, plus two Uefa Cups that bring the total to 5), Sevilla are proving to be the perfect home for Suso. Not only because he, an Andalusian from Cadiz, now plays very close to his city, but because the former AC Milan player, redeemed about a month ago by Sevilla for 24 million, has entered a system that enhances his characteristics. His game is not very different from what he did in Serie A: right outside high in the 4-3-3 and often concentrates to conclude with the beloved left or look for the assist. At the same time, it clears the field for Navas overlaps. INTER NOTIFIED …- Suso scored United’s third goal in the Europa League. “We lived – he commented – a great emotion. We started badly and they created a lot, then we managed to get back together. The final? If he passes, I can say that I am used to playing against Inter (against the Nerazzurri he rejoiced three times at the time of Milan, with a brace in the derby on 20 November 2016), but in general I am very happy to be at Sevilla, I really wanted to come back here “.

On Friday they will face the winner of Inter-Shakhtar Donetsk Sevilla are the first Europa League finalists: they will wait for the winner of Inter-Shakhtar Donetsk to try to stretch in the golden register of the tournament, where it already stands out with 5 successes. In Cologne, Lopetegui’s team beat Manchester Utd 2-1, who also made the game for large stretches and wasted a lot: Solskjaer will really have many regrets, leaving Germany. Suso pushes Sevilla Sevilla and Manchester Utd are two teams in good shape and convinced of their tactical identity, which earned them both qualification for the next Champions League without going through a possible Europa League final. The first half in Cologne highlights this in full: United are lightning fast in their attacking transitions, with Fernandes adding quality to the speed of Rashford and Greenwood, supporting Martial; Sevilla are technical and mentally solid too, as shown by the reaction to the disadvantage they took after just 9 minutes.Fernandes, infallible from the spot, converts the penalty granted to Diego Carlos’ hitting Rashford to 1-0. After having risked doubling on Fred’s right, however, the Andalusians regroup and push in search of a draw, which arrives at 26 ‘: DE JONG scores the winner for Sevilla The second half began and all four of United’s attacking players were close to scoring in an instant: first Bounou came out well on Greenwood, then Martial, Rashford and Fernandes were shot back inside the area. The Moroccan goalkeeper,suddenly abandoned by his defenders, must perform two more miracles in a few minutes, with as many exits on Martial. For the Red...

Hearn pressures Arum, who claims: Shit on obligatory challengers, people want Fury-Joshua
NEW YORK – Heavyweight nervousness is growing slowly in Eddie hearn’s stable but surely. No wonder, next Saturday they will share it in Brentwood Brit Dillian Whyte (27-1, 18 KO) and Russian Alexander Povětkin (35-2, 24 KO), the belt will be the interim WBC champion and the position of the mandatory challenger of this federation. .. It’s been a few days since “The Body Snatcher” boasted on the nets that it is the officially challenged challenger of the WBC champion and that the winner of the duel Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KO) vs. Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KO) has to face him. It happened after Sky Sports calculated that as a wait for the title duel, it starts the second thousand days.Subsequently, his promoter Eddie Hearn suggested that possibly Wilder, who underwent surgery on his left arm during the coronavirus crisis, could replace Whyte by the end of the year this year. There is still no fixed date for the completion of the trilogy of the two giants of the division, confirmation of the date of December 19, which is speculated to be, no and no to come. “I am not ungrateful or fools. We want to do everything as it should. Wilder is entitled to a third duel and will also receive it. In addition, it is a question of finance. And if Fury wins, we go straight to the fight with Joshua. Fuck some other business. Who cares about mandatory, schamdatory matches? We have to look for what the public wants, “said the promoter of the British giant Bob Arum from Top Rank Boxing. He then returned to Hearn’s demands, with which he had spoken in person before. “It’s weird because when we talked, he told me something else. It’s clear he’s Dillian’s promoter, I understand his requirements,... - August 12, 2020
California Commission: It’s an exhibition! Tyson: If there’s a chance of KO, I’ll take it off
LOS ANGELES – Exhibition theme between legends Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. definitely not bored and quiet. On the contrary, the date of September 12 is irresistibly approaching and the sports world cannot wait for it. Especially after they both make very harsh statements to the media. The California Sports Commission, under whose auspices the exhibition will take place, keeps saying that it will be an eight-round clash of two legends, which will be checked and where opponents will be strongly warned not to go after a knockout. But that doesn’t smell like many people. After all, the traditional slogans “Boxing is not a game” or “boxing exhibitions do not exist” are not just slaps in the water. After all, the British promoter Eddie Hearn stated: “I don’t like exhibitions. Reason? Because they are controlled, even though it is so difficult. The commission says they can’t knock each other out, but can you imagine? What happens when one hits? After all, it’s bullshit and built like this hurts boxing. It may be unethical and bad, but it’s better to be a two-wheel demolition with a knockout than a guarded and careful pinking of two legends. “ And although he was criticized for this, for example, by André Ward – who had been training very hard lately – his words have some weight. Especially when it’s been a few days since Tyson, 54, said, “This is a search for my old glory, it’s a struggle. I always entered the ring in order to hurt my opponents. If I get a chance to knockout Roy, I’ll go after her. That is my nature. “ He then added a message to another heavyweight legend, George Foreman, who expressed some concern with the comeback, especially Tyson, who had been in the ring in... - Bayern and Barcelona, the only ones to have already won the champions league in the past, face off immediately. Real Madrid and Liverpool are missing, winners of the last four editions. Atalanta, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Lyon, Leipzig, Manchester City and Paris Saint Germain: these are the magnificent eight that will compete in Lisbon for the victory of the 2020 Champions League. WHAT ABSENCES – It is a strange “eight”: above all the winners of the last four editions are missing, which are then reduced to two teams, Real Madrid (three in a row, from 2016 to 2018) and Liverpool last year, in this edition released in the round of 16 at the hands of Atletico Madrid. STRATITOLATE – Among the four games, Bayern Munich-Barcelona stands out, a challenge between teams that have won 10 Champions (five each). The other six have never won the competition and therefore in the semifinals there will be 3 teams that have never raised the cup. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST ME – Going a bit more specifically, the City is the most expensive squad with Guardiola having players with a total value of over a billion, while the least expensive is Atalanta with 261.70 million. Bayern-Barcelona, in addition to being the match between two historic and winning clubs, is also the richest of the quarters, with almost two billion worth of squads (983 for Barça, 928 for Bayern). To close, let’s see the average age: the youngest team is Leipzig (24.2), the oldest is our survivor Atalanta with 26.9.

With an encore at 90 ‘ An imperfect but very tough Inter fold Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 and deserves the semifinal (in the Cup itdid not reach us since the Treble) of the Europa League next Monday, also in Dusseldorf. The opponent will leave Shakhtar-Basel, scheduled for tomorrow evening. Barella and Lukaku – symbolic men also for how they fight to the end – decide, the Aspirine is not enough for a sharp from the Havertz star in a match that will go to the archives also for the two penalties that Del Cerro Grande assigns and then takes away from the Nerazzurri after consulting the Var. THE DREAM CONTINUES- The two best in the field are record-breaking (no midfielder of an Italian club has scored in 4competitions like Barella, no one has ever scored in 9 consecutive Europa League matches) and keep alive a dream that, in the event of a final success, it would bring Inter not only 20 million to invest on the market but also the firstautomatic slot in the draw for the next Champions League. Waiting for the Count-club face to face, the certainty is that the team is a granite block with the technician. One indicator among many is Eriksen’s retreat in defense. TWELVE PYROTECHNICS – The same eleven that eliminated Getafe five days earlier begins, while Bosz has to do without themidfield pivot Aranguiz (the Chilean was warned, but did not know it and was cautioned in the useless second round of the second round against Rangers) and by Sven Bender, who gets hurt in the warm-up and gives way to Tah.

The club wanted to greet the player in an affectionate way: “Our contract with Robinho has expired. We thank Robinho, an example of character and personality, for his contribution and we wish him the best for the rest of his career ”. For the forward, 37 years old next January, a possible return to his homeland, perhaps to Santos, the club that had launched him as a young man to great football.

Champions, City goes to the quarterfinals: 2-1 to Real with goals from Sterling and Jesus. Now Lyon
Advantage of City who then suffer the equalizer for a nice header from Benzema: in the second half the Brazilian’s decisive goal in the 68th minute. Guardiola’s philosophy wins, high pressing wins. Having done so in Spain, Manchester City also beat Real Madrid in the second leg. It ends 2-1, with goals from Sterling in the 9th minute and Gabriel Jesus in the 68th minute. However, Benzema’s goal was useless in the 28th minute. However, the errors of Varane were sensational, who recently let the ball slip on the occasion of the 1-0, acting as an assist-man at 2-1. Manchester City will face Lyon in the quarter-finals. THE RACE between City and Real Guardiola and Zidane line up the two teams in the mirror, with the 4-3-3. The City, without Aguero, shows up with Gabriel Jesus as well as with Sterling and Foden on the outside. In Real, given the absences of Ramos and Bale, space for Militao and Rodrygo. In the first few minutes the pace is rather slow, but, on 9 ‘, City unlocks it. Real spins the ball in his own penalty area, Gabriel Jesus presses Varane, takes the ball off him and supports for Sterling who just has to put it on the net from two steps. Real suffers the psychological backlash and for a few minutes is at the mercy of the City: at 12 ‘Gundogan seeks the double (shot from the edge rejected), at 15’ Sterling shoots high from an excellent position. Real slowly returned to the game and on 21 ‘, with Benzema, almost equalized (Ederson saved himself for a corner). At 28 ‘the 1-1 really arrives: Rodrygo breaks through on the right and puts a nice ball in the center which Benzema, with his head, throws into the goal, detaching behind Laporte... - August 8, 2020

His words went to Matchroom Boxing island rival Eddie Hearn and Sky Sports TV, which works with him (BT Sport is behind Warren). “The best of Queensberry vs. the best of Matchroom Boxing. Forget the pride of the promoter, ego, it’s not about us. This is the time to turbo start boxing so that it gets back into the spotlight and is a sports leader not only in sports in these difficult times, “the statement said. Warren started his stable already in July with events in the BT Sport studio, everything is to culminate in October in front of the spectators with a duel between Daniel Dubois and Joe Joyce. From last Saturday, Hearn will be holding three more gala evenings in his garden in Brentwood. The two men have repeatedly stabbed each other in the last few weeks, digging into their projects, and Warren admitted in an interview in January that he had never talked to Hearn and that he didn’t even have a phone call. The aversion of the two strongest promoters in Europe, who are also successfully expanding overseas, was slightly eroded by an agreement between their biggest stars – Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, when there is a verbal agreement on two matches of... - August 4, 2020
Arreola: I knew what Ruiz was up to. That he was irresponsible after AJ? I would behave the same way
LOS ANGELES – Their destinies intersected almost fifteen years ago, just as they are united by the fact that they attacked the post of the first Hispanic world heavyweight champion. Chris Arreol (38-6-1, 33 KO) didn’t work out more than once, Andy Ruiz Jr. (33-2, 22 KO) yes. For the first time and sensationally. It was 2007, when the two first met. “This club was not only big, but also very big with extremely fast hands. There was so much energy in his blows. I knew this boy would have to be reckoned with in the future. And that we may also cross fists in a regular match, “Arreola told Sky Sports this week.He, too, was just starting his professional career at the time. Already this year, however, he reached the WBC continental belt and defeated Chazz Witherspoon in the first defense in June 2008 in a duel of undefeated fighters. The next year, he challenged the champion of this federation, Vitali Kliček, and although he showed a brave performance, after the ninth round, when he was completely broken, he pulled his horn out of the duel. Emotional Arreola, who dreamed of becoming the first heavyweight champion with Mexican roots, mourned the loss. The beater, nicknamed “Nightmare”, was given two more chances. In 2014, in retaliation for the loss to Berman Stivern, however, the free belt was taken by a Canadian with Haitian roots, who subsequently “handed it over” to the American Deontay Wilder. In one of the defenses, he defeated Arreol in eight rounds, who went into this conflict as a great outsider, and especially a substitute for the Russian Alexander Povětkin. His ambition for the coveted duel was thwarted by a repeated positive finding on Meldonium. Andy Ruiz was a similar outsider last June against Anthony Joshua, albeit... - Former Bellator champion Alexander Shlemenko said that he was very pleased with the performance of Russian Petr Yan at UFC 251.Recall that Ian defeated Brazilian Jose Aldo in a duel for the vacant bantamweight title and became the second reigning champion of the organization from Russia.“IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP SINGING TODAY” What impression did Petr Yan’s performance leave for you? The most excellent. I am very glad that my forecast was fully justified. Victory came to Peter in the later rounds. Were you worried about Yan in any segment of the battle? Directly alarming was not. Definitely not much. There was a moment that the time has come when Petr will either show character, show volitional qualities, or break down. This moment was in the second round when he missed low kicks. But I had no doubts. It was just nice to see that I was right. How did Aldo’s current fitness form differ from his ideal state? Hard to say. I don’t know how good his shape was. I haven’t followed Aldo’s career very closely. Knew he was a good fighter. It is not the form of Aldo that is important, but the state of Petit, who was completely ready. It seems to me that he was ready so that no one could stop him that day. He came and went to the octagon to “die”. We have seen it. He was ready to go to the end and without the belt, Yang would not have left. It doesn’t matter what form Aldo or someone else was in, today Petya could not be stopped. “I WANT PETR YAN TO PUNISH CEJUDO”Who can make Yana a real competitor in his division? Aljamain Sterling, Marlon Moraes, Cody Garbrandt or none? I do not presume to judge, but I am sure...
- PRAGUE – The first tournament from ten new IAF Streetfighter projects took place on Friday evening in the garages of OC Šestka near Ruzyně Airport? Result? Looking forward to what will follow. “We have it so that we both always have our views, I was a skeptic.” “And I’m an optimist, we both have our ideas, and in the end we always do it our way.” “Yes, it always turns out I’m right.”The start of the evaluation is just a few minutes after the end of the first IAF Streetfighter tournament, presented by co-promoters Ondřej Pála, who owns the first and last sentence, and Petr “Pín” Ondruš, who is the optimist in their team. By the way, before the start of Streetfighter, his co-commentator for this tournament, the legendary coach Petr “Khru” Macháček, was also a pessimist. “But I just want to say I’m getting a taste of it,” he said during the roughly 150-minute program. It was filled by ten duels in three weights of the pyramids occupied in the last place (there are 32 wrestlers in each). “We have nonsense applications. That you heard 300? That’s more, “Pála smiled. “Yes, there are exactly 299 of them to date,” Ondruš confirmed the good mood of both.And also a huge relief after a lot of strain. Stress was actually everything. The small team had to provide logistics, broadcasting for O2 TV Sport, because both commentators also provided timekeeping, refreshments and also the mandatory presence of rescuers. And that they were needed. At the end of the event, their corner of Automyčka Express was full. Two fighters from the last fights and nineteen-year-old Miroslav Uchytil, who was rising from a stretcher to be checked by a doctor. Not that he was so beaten up by his thirteen-year-old conqueror, David Závody, but...
- Giroud, Mount, Maguire own goal and Fernandes penalty in Chelsea 3-1 net over the Red Devils: on August 1st Lampard’s team will return to Wembley for the decisive match against Arsenal.On August 1st the FA Cup final will be an entirely London affair. After the surprising Arsenal, Chelsea deservedly defeated Manchester’s other team (3-1), United. After suffering the law of the Red Devils in the first three seasonal fights (two in the league and one in the League Cup),this time in an almost spooky Wembley Lampard guesses the deployment, harnesses the opponents’ restarts and crashes them clearly, also thanks to an error and a half of De Gea. Solskjaer and Lampard play to those who surprise the most, both deploying the three-way defense and leaving some ninety pieces on the bench:Pogba, Martial and Greenwood among the Red Devils, Pulisic among the blue of the capital. DOMINANT CHELSEA Initial skirmishes until 10 ‘when De Gea puts his fists on the right hand stretched by the distance of Reece James. There is definitely more Chelsea in the first quarter of an hour and when Alonso heads the Madrid goalkeeper towards the center of Azpilicueta, United breathes. The Red Devils try only on punishment, but Fernandes’s shot is raised in the corner by Caballero. Lampard’s men are better lined up on the pitch, but they struggle in the conclusions and at 33 ‘Mount does not even tickle De Gea. Not even at 39 ‘does Zouma’s pumpkin find the mirror; however, the Frenchman’s head rocks Bailly’s, but the two can continue. GIROUD, WINNING FLASH- A few minutes later the Ivorian is back on the ground, after having collided with his companion Maguire, he has to leave the dispute and is treated for several minutes on the sidelines. Martial takes over and United is repositioned...
- The Barça technician denies the rumor about the resignation after the La Liga thrown to the wind and aims the match with the cup Napoli. On the relationship with Messi: “Normal to have different visions”Few players, few questions, so much difficulty. This was the Saturday morning of Barcelona, with the list of players called up for the sad ending of La Liga 19-20 scheduled for tomorrow in Vitoria with Alaves and the press conference by Quique Setien, which ended up in the crosshairs after Leo Messi’s statements following the Thursday’s defeat with Osasuna and temporarily saved by President Josep Maria Bartomeu. 16 SUMMONED Among the new rules established by La Liga for the resumption of the post-lockdown championship there is the possibility of summoning 23 players. Tomorrow Barça will go to the Basque Country with 16 men, including 3 goalkeepers. Setien will be able to replace three field players, although the limit has been extended to 5. Various ailments have been added to an already short squad and the need to leave some players at Barça B, engaged in the playoff promotion from Segunda B to Segunda. NO ARTHUR In the 16 there is the Juventus from Arthur. Why? “Arthur told me this morning that he had an ankle injury”, the cold and laconic reply of Quique Setien. The Brazilian went from probable holder to foreign body. The exchange with Pjanic, which he had initially not even considered and which was strongly desired by Barça, precipitated his situation. It seems impossible to see him back on the field with the Blaugrana colors. THE FUTURE But these are marginal issues. The highlight today is that of Setien’s continuity, put in serious doubt in Barcelona and given for liquidated in Madrid. Messi pointed his finger at the bench, the president, who changed...
- arteta beats Maestro Guardiola 2-0: on 1 August Arsenal will return to Wembley to face the Manchester Utd-Chelsea winner. When Alan Shearer’s hands drew the challenge between Arsenal and Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final, the favors of the prediction were all for Guardiola and certainly not for his pupil Arteta. Instead, on 1 August the Gunners will return to Wembley, against the winner of tomorrow’s other big match between Manchester Utd and Chelsea. Aubameyang in the first half, Aubameyang in the second: 2-0 and notable alarm bell for the City in the Champions key. ARSENAL AWKWARD DEFENDING The start of the match gives chills to Arsenal fans, obviously present in front of the TV and not at the stadium. First Ceballos loses a ball that allows Sterling a dangerous cross, then Mustafi falls asleep in the low building and risks the omelette. After ten minutes, however, the defense of the City begins to dance. Aubameyang first grace, served by Luiz, hitting Ederson. Not the second, however: the cross is by Pepé, the main error is by Walker, the man who should give experience to the department, which allows the Gabonese to deflect on goal without marking him or putting him offside. O ne to zero. The former champions of England accuse the disadvantage and before the interval they risk another couple of times, first for overconfidence in starting the action and then for a header by Mustafi of a little high. And without Aguero injured, in heavy games like this, the attack is not always concrete, without prejudice to the talent of Gabriel Jesus and the inspiration of Mahrez, De Bruyne and David Silva. ARSENAL DOUBLE OF AUBAMEYANG Just Mahrez creates the first chance of recovery for the City, but Martinez is quick to go ashore for the...
- The Frenchman scored on action and penalty for Real Madrid then Iborra made Zidane shiver. Tenth victory in a row and +7 over Barcelona (beaten at home by Osasuna): the 34th title is on the bulletin board. Majorca recedes Center on the first try. The battleship commanded by Zidane does not get prayed and crosses the finish line of the La Liga at the first opportunity. It does so by ripping the tenth consecutive victory, testifying to the overwhelming return after the lockdown with an annexed overtaking in the standings at Barça. To deliver to the Blancos the 34th Liga of their history was a brace by Benzema, which thus sealed a season of absolute protagonist. For Zizou it is the second La Liga after the one won in 2017. But the Merengue people will not be able to celebrate as usual in the Plaza de Cibeles, closed to avoid gatherings. TRIUMPH for Real Madrid Zizou’s gang takes to the pitch with clear ideas and brings home the final decisive points without too many problems. The French coach dusts Hazard and raises the trident with Benzema and Rodrygo enjoying a convincing performance and two goals. The news of the surprising navarro advantage at Camp Nou after just 16 ‘of play gives the Blancos the decisive push to raise the laps and liquidate the practice starting from 29’ with a Benzema seal. The French also takes charge of closing the accounts in the 77th minute on a penalty kick (after a repeat for the first match between Ramos and Benzema himself), to touch 21 goals and still retain some chance of snatching the title of Pichichi to Messi (climbed tonight to 11pm). In the end the useless network of hosts thanks to Iborra. BLAUGRANA helps Real Madrid While Madrid take the...
- Tonight the clause that allows Lautaro Martinez to leave Milan for 111 million loses value. Excluding lightning negotiations, there is a need to strengthen the relationship with the Nerazzurri. Maybe with a renewal.Two blows. One behind the other. And for the Taurus, all of a sudden, everything gets complicated, as no one would have imagined. The wrong penalty against Bologna is the mirror of its fragility. But the biggest disappointment comes from Barcelona, with the strident braking. Now there are no more times to close a deal that has been talked about since last October. Tonight the window that allows the Argentine to take advantage of the € 111 million clause agreed with Inter Milan two summers ago closes. We are now alone in theory. It is impossible to think that Bartomeu and his staff will negotiate a quick negotiation with the Nerazzurri leaders. In Viale della Liberazione they never accepted the idea of going below 90 million, admitting at most the inclusion of a player in the negotiation. But even this hypothesis must now be combined with the remote past. THE CRACKS for lautaro So Lautaro has to deal with a present full of contrariety. In the past 20 days something has changed in his relationship with Inter. Also because some of his performances made the counteners turn their mouths up. Starting with the opaque test in the return of the Italian Cup semi-final to Naples, to continue with the following games in chiaroscuro: nobody discusses his commitment, but the facts say that the performance has dropped significantly. An inner discomfort that cannot go unnoticed. No second thoughts about its value and its attachment to the shirt but evidently there is the finding that the Taurus is not serene. Better, then, postpone to better times and the discussion on...
- Floyd Mayweather in boxing training with dumbbells / – Training methods used by the best growers today in preparation for matches are a frequent topic of various analyzes and articles. German coach Moritz Klatten recently came up with one of these, but he took his contribution to this issue from a slightly different perspective … Instead of naming the most effective and beneficial training procedures, Klatten, on the other hand, lists in his article the 10 biggest mistakes that boxers make today in their training. Will you agree with him? Error no. 1 – Too much emphasis on simple exercises:Jumping or jogging are undoubtedly suitable as a warm-up before a demanding workout, but excessive practice of these exercises increases the risk of injury and also slows down the boxer. As for the risk of possible injuries, in In 1990, for example, a study of American boxers proved that there was a possible link between lower body injuries resulting from excessive training wear and the aforementioned jogging or skipping rope that boxers often use in their training. And when it comes to speed, it has been proven that if you often combine slow exercises with those that focus on speed in your training, your body will eventually not be able to recognize which side to lean on, and this may ultimately affect your speed and power. Error no. 2 – Prioritizing quantity over the quality of exercise: The body of every boxer can regenerate only as long as the boxer does not overdo it with his training. Boxing matches very rarely last more than an hour, so if an athlete is expected to perform really well in a match, his post-warm-up exercises should not last longer than an hour. Not to mention that too long training doses can cause a boxer...
- MOSCOW – Although one of the pioneers of samba and paying for an indomitable warrior, Russian Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, the father and coach of the undefeated UFC lightweight champion Chabiba, lost the battle with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and other health problems associated with it. He was only 57 years old. The world-renowned martial arts coach suffered a heart attack shortly after he was diagnosed with covid-19 at a Moscow hospital. His condition required urgent bypass surgery, which did not turn out as he had hoped, and he had to be put to artificial sleep twice.After both operations, doctors described his condition as serious but stable, in the previous days there were even positive news from the Russian capital, it seemed that Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov would win the fight. However, on Friday, July 3, the President of the Chechen Republic and family friend Ramzan Kadyrov confirmed on social networks that the famous coach had died. It was a long story. Several months. The father of the undefeated UFC lightweight champion Chabib Nurmagomedov fell ill at the end of April. And at first it didn’t look that serious, he ended up at Dagestan Hospital on April 25 because of his lung disease. Doctors also wanted to test him for covid-19, but Abdulmanap had to repeatedly refuse. He underwent it (with a positive result) only after he was transported by air special to Moscow a week later. Reason? A sudden deterioration in his health, when he fell into a coma and fought for his life for the first time. Even then, poor medical care in Machačkala was pointed out. Nurmagomedov was certainly not an ordinary patient, the question is whether his privileged position did him no harm (in that he could refuse the tests). A heart attack and stroke occurred in Moscow, followed by the...
- The less concentrated Liverpool champions of England are annihilated by the Citizens. In goal De Bruyne, Sterling and Foden. Closes Oxlade-Chamberlain’s own goal.For one night Manchester City sets the law again. The Citizens consolidated their second place in the standings by clearly defeating (4-0) the champions of Liverpool, who took the field with the best formation, but without the usual iron concentration. A strange joke on the calendar says that the first opponents of the new champions of Liverpool are the outgoing holders of Manchester City. And as usual, in the first challenge after the coronation, the opponents offer an honor guard to the winners. The Reds play for records, while the hosts aim to keep up the pace in view of the FA Cup and Champions League challenges. STERLING, RIGOR AND GOAL But it is still City against Liverpool and the two teams face off. Klopp’s men start well and at 4 ‘Salah and Firmino call Ederson to work. The two attackers try again at 19 ‘: Firmino slips between the lines as usual and Salah takes advantage of his invitation to throw a low shot against the post. On the other front, De Bruyne brushes an interesting ball after another. At 24 ‘Gomez hugs in the Sterling area until he sinks, the referee has no doubts and De Bruyne gives Alisson no way out of the spot. Liverpool try to catch up on the hosts, but the restarts of the Citizens are lethal. At 35 ‘Foden serves Sterling, De Bruyne takes away a couple of defenders and the English national sends Gomez into a doll and stabs Alisson for the 2-0 point. FODEN PRECISION The defenders of the Reds are amused and act as beautiful figurines on the exchange between Gündogan, De Bruyne and Foden (45 ‘). The...
- Liverpool unreachable 7 days from the end: +23 on Guardiola. The Blues reinforce their Champions qualification chances: +5 over Manchester Utd and Wolverhampton. Liverpool crowns its long pursuit and returns to the title of England after 30 years, first triumph in the Premier League era, 19th in the history of a legendary club and too fasting. He does so with seven days in advance, without even taking the field: Chelsea’s 2-1 over Manchester City arithmetically delivers the title, given the 23 advantage over the Citizens. The result of Stamford Bridge is precious, of course, also for the Lampard Blues, who confirm fourth place and lengthen to +5 on the pair formed by Manchester Utd and Wolverhampton. LAMPARD’S “GIFT” to Liverpool After the bluff of the eve when, as a consummate poker player, he had announced a weakened team, Guardiola actually sent the best players to the field. Beyond the injured Aguero and the injured Foden, the Catalan only leaves Jesus on the bench and proposes Bernardo Silva as a false nine. Among the Blues, Jorginho is only on the bench despite having served his disqualification, while Pulisic earns a starting shirt after the goal put into the Villa. The Citizens start better and in the 15 ‘an incorrect disengagement of Kepa is intercepted by Mahrez, but the subsequent attempt by Bernardo Silva to finish is replaced by Rüdiger. Three minutes later the Spanish goalkeeper deflects in the corner a beautiful frame of Fernandinho, caught by Walker’s free-kick. LIGHTNESS CITY, PULISIC IN GOAL – At 33 ‘Chelsea shows up, however, with Barkley’s goalline deflected by Fernandinho; on the next corner Christensen heads and Ederson fiddles with danger. Just one hundred and eighty seconds pass and Mendy and Gündogan are embarrassedly caught in possession of the ball on the midfield line. Pulisic’s...
- A penalty by Bruno Fernandes allows the United to make up for Bergwijn’s goal, but the Champions League remains complicated. Trio of Magpies with Ings, Armstrong and RedmondPost-covid football continues to offer anything but unforgettable shows. They did not escape the rule Tottenham and United, who drew 1-1 with Bergwijn’s goals in the first half and Bruno Fernandes’s penalty in the second half. The Champions League remains complicated for Mourinho and far from obvious for Solskjaer.The game was fairly balanced, with the final thrill of referee Moss’s topical, who in the 90th minute saw a penalty on Bruno Fernandes appropriately removed from the Var. United was better at the beginning, but Bergwijn’s solo among the beautiful figurines, Maguire above all, the United defense gives the advantage to Mou, with De Gea not impeccable. The Spanish goalkeeper avoids the 2-0, then the tie arrives in the second half, with the newly-entered Pogba who cleverly wins the penalty then transformed by Bruno Fernandes. The last thrill is signed by Greenwood in the recovery, but the crossed right comes out a little .TRIS SOUTHAMPTON – Ready, away and after the first race of the restart, the fate of Norwich seems now marked. Daniel Farke’s side lose 3-0 at home to Southampton and remain nailed to last place. The race that absolutely had to be won to fuel hopes of salvation ends in a defeat. Southampton triumphs with ease. Danny Ings signed the 1-0 at 49 ‘with a perfect right – goal number 16 for the attacker – on an assist from Armstrong. At 54 ‘the roles are reversed: Ings serves Armstrong after a perfect restart and with a billiard shot he is 2-0. Redmond closes the speech at 79 ‘, with a sinister low shot. Aarons avoids poker by knocking Ward-Prowse out of...
- Super Benzema and Asensio fold Valencia. And Real Madrid return to -2 from Barça In Valdebebas ends 3-0: race unlocked in the second half by the French, closed by the playmaker and sealed by a feat by KarimFrom breathlessness to joy with the help of good luck. Following a script opposite to the previous match against Eibar, Real Madrid brings home another success thanks to a great recovery marked by two goals by Benzema (at the 16th center in La Liga) and a seal by the returning Asensio, on the pitch in the last 20 ‘after a long absence due to injury. The Majorcan also takes away the satisfaction of signing an assist for the final 3-0 that extends Valencia, which in the first 45 ‘is blocked by a pole and by Var. Zizou thus returns to two points from the top of the standings before the delicate trip in San Sebastian. THE CHOICES for Real Madrid Zidane’s tactical choices are surprising: the defection of Isco’s last minute, given by owner until the eve, in fact pushes the French technician to give up the usual 4-3-3 for a more covered 4-4-2, with Benzema and Hazard to pair forward. No Bale, Rodrygo, Vinicius and Asensio, all on the bench to the advantage of Valverde to thicken the median. In Valencia, deployed in a specular way and with a botched defense due to the absence of the two central holders, only bench for Florenzi, to whom Celades prefers Wass. VAR FRIEND of Real Madrid Good pace at Alfredo Di Stefano, where Madrid and Valencia play openly without making too many calculations. If the Madrilenes immediately take the reins of the game by easily finding the space for the shot (eight conclusions only in the first 45 ‘), the Valencia builds the best...
- June 16, 2020Two flashes from fati and Messi and three points for a pale but effective Barcelona. The Blaugrana do not shine as much as in Mallorca, but still manage to bend the Leganes thanks to a goal in time. Despite the ranking, the guests also put some thrills to the Catalans with the result still hanging in the balance, then surrender in the flashes of Ansu Fati (5th center of the season) and Messi, who scored the 699th career goal from the penalty spot . The Catalans thus manage to stretch again in the standings on Real Madrid, busy Thursday and now detached by 5 points. TURN OVER FOR BARCELONA The winning team changes. The tight rhythm imposed by the calendar pushes Setien to force massive rotations, as announced on the eve of the return to Camp Nou. Six changes in the initial eleven compared to Mallorca with the presence of the Brazilian Arthur. No “MSG” in attack, because Suarez is still off the bench: in his place is the baby prodigy Ansu Fati, who takes the first 45 minutes to demonstrate the reasons for the strong interest from United (during the week there was talk of an offer close to 150 million).FATI THINKS ABOUT IT- The Leganes in fact makes a great impression, managing to harness the Catalans with a the most classic of bolts. Not only that, the guests also manage to create two gigantic occasions on the counterattack between 11 ‘and 14’, being stopped first by Lenglet (miraculous save on the line to Ter Stegen beaten) and then from the post on a right by Guerrero from position close. The right from the edge with which Ansu Fati continues his team on the 42 at the end of a lucky rebound at the edge of the area, is an authentic breath of...
- Real Madrid close the match in the first half: 3-1 brings them back to -2 from Barcelona. The Brazilian celebrates the goal with a dedication to the Black Lives Matter movement.Everything as smooth as the oil for the blancos, protagonists of a convincing restart in the wake of what Barcelona did 24 hours earlier. If the blaugrana had imposed themselves with an easy poker on Mallorca, Madrid trimmed three of them at Eibar with a two-faced performance: overwhelming in the first 45 in sharp difficulty in the second half due to a still precarious athletic condition. To conduct the orchestra a Benzema in great dusting, but to sign the three points are the networks of Kroos, Ramos and Marcelo. The central one is a heavy seal, because he reaches Ronald Koeman at the top of the league of the main defenders-goalscorers of La Liga at 67 centers (92 in all with the blancos). For Zidane positive signs from the returning Hazard, who signs an assist, and some encouraging flashes from Rodrygo MOVING HOUSEThe restart of the blancos takes place in an unusual atmosphere, not only because of the absence of the public imposed by the pandemic. Work in progress at the Bernabeu obliges Madrid to move to the Alfredo Di Stefano, the training ground used by Castilla which is located in the Valdebebas enclosure, headquarters of the Zizou band. A short walk of 300 meters from the lodgings and the “Galacticos” are ready to kick off against an Eibar cornered by a complicated ranking, just two points above the relegation zone. PAVED ROAD for Real Madrid In Zizou’s eleven, there is no shortage of the most anticipated man, Hazard, on his return after a long stop, but there is also a surprise of the last hour: Rodrygo, benefited from the massive turnover...
- With great seriousness and a first goal from Martin Braithwaite in his new colors, Barça won their recovery match in Mallorca (4-0) on Saturday. He pushes his Real Madrid rival back 5 points from the head, at least temporarily. The three months of forced cut could have cut their legs. But in their long distance duel with Real Madrid, the Barça players have no room for error. And they proved that they were hungry in Mallorca (4-0) on Saturday. Arturo Vidal set the tone after barely two minutes, author of an angry whim at the reception of a center from Jordi Alba at the penalty spot (2nd, 1-0). Despite the audacity and a few well-felt movements, most of the origin of the “Japanese Messi” Takefusa Kubo, 19 (22nd, 32nd, 48th, 76th), the promoted and relegated Mallorcan did not really make the weight. And Martin Braithwaite quickly doubled the bet on a deviation from the head of Lionel Messi (37th, 2-0), his first goal under the colors of Barça.Thus sheltered, the reigning champion and leader of the classification managed his efforts more on the return from the locker room, in a second period marked by the return to competition of Luis Suarez — instead of a combative but discreet Griezmann, no shooting (57th) — after five months of absence. What did not stop him from raising the score, cold realism in the wake of a Messi as often brilliant, first passer for Alba, on the verge of offside (80th, 3-0), then scorer on a pass from Suarez (90th + 3, 4-0). Pending the match between Real Madrid and Eibar on Sunday (19:30, to follow live commented on our site), Barça takes 5 points ahead of La Liga. He will return to his Camp Nou on Tuesday, with the arrival of Leganés.
- LONDON – Former British boxer and now Sky Sports television expert – Carl Froch (33-2, 24 KO) – is still provoking his compatriot and undefeated legend, Joe Calzaghe (46-0, 32 KO), from a distance. Many words about returns were spoken during the spring coronavirus crisis. Before her, two island stars of the past years, Carl Froch and Joe Calzaghe, began exchanging greetings. A few months back, there was even speculation about the return of both and the clash. The clash that Froch longed for during their active careers. It should be added that at the end of the star Welshman’s career, he was far from the top. He achieved his first world champion only when Calzaghe was retired. In a duel with the American Jermain Taylor. “If Jermaine were better prepared, the match would have turned out differently (Froch ended the duel at the end of the 12th round, losing 1-2 points and knockout was his only way to win). You know, I like Carl because you tell him in the ring how readable and predictable he is, but he makes you find out he’s a damn good fighter, but he’s had more success in his career than he should have. Thanks to his diligence and tenacity, “the American André Ward praised his rival. A man who was one of the two conquerors of the “Cobra” of Nottingham. Froch did not contradict him, on the contrary. At the same time, he called it the best super middle weight in history. In his list of the best trefoil, however, he omitted another name – Calzaghe. Reason? “The guy won the title at Naseed Hamed’s under card against the sniffing and old Chris Eubank. Then he defended him for ten years, but do you remember the names of his opponents? Some talk about undefeated Jeff Lacy, but heck people, the guy was just an inflated...
- BIG DEAL! Heavyweight champions Fury and Joshua face two fights in 2021 LONDON – One of the biggest matches in boxing history is confirmed by the mouth (possibly by written agreement) of the two main protagonists – WBA, IBF and WBO World Champion Anthony Joshua (23-1, 21 KO) and WBC Champion Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KO). If the two British intervened with all their belts, it would be a historic event in all respects.The whole sports world is looking forward to this match and it seems that it will get it as well. “We are making great progress. There is still something to overcome, we are looking for places and dates, but the main thing is that both boys dedicated the matches. That they both agree on financial matters, “said Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s promoter, exclusively for Sky Sports.His words were subsequently confirmed by Fury on his Twitter and also on Instagram: “I would like to announce a big event for you. We agreed on a match with Anthony Joshua. The biggest duel in British history is here. And twice. I’ll deal with Deontay Wilder first (42-1-1, 41 KO) and then Joshua as well. “Fury also thanked Daniel Kinnerhan. The name of a key negotiator is extremely important. Why? Because almost immediately, the promoter Frank Warren called Boxingnewsonline.net, who called the agreement nonsense, and that Hearn was just repeating what had already been said and that the two had not met yet.However, although Warren is one of the two promoters of the Manchester giant, he certainly does not have a key word in the negotiations.

- June 11, 2020LOS ANGELES – This year, the 70-year-old American actor Danny Trejo is not a roughneck at first sight. His life path is very steep, and as he admits, boxing helped him to the right one. It measures only 168 centimeters, yet is one of the “biggest negatives” in the history of Hollywood. His poker expression is terrifying, even though he is a very accommodating person in his personal life.He wakes up more than one hero of the movie screen, and in the past it was true of his rivals in the ring. I love those big battles between the ropes. Ali’s first duel with Frazier was not a match for me, it was a war. The same was true for duels Mike Tyson and Julius Cesar Chavez – both were great boxers and their matches had grades. I also admire Floyd Mayweather, you can’t deny what he achieved, “Trejo said in a radio interview a few days ago. A descendant of Mexican immigrants, who is blood related to the filmmaker Robert Rodriguez (they both found out about it during the filming of the famous film Desperado), has been wandering around various correctional facilities since the late 1960s. The exact chronology is not completely known, but it is known that he spent a few years in the famous San Quentin. And that his appearance led him into frequent trouble. Thanks to this, he perfected his boxing knowledge, which was passed on to him at the age of eight by his uncle, who even introduced himself at the Golden Gloves. I was too big a bully, “recalled a man who, of course, also had problems with drugs. “I’ve been clean for half a century, it’s one of the recklessnesses of my adolescence,” says Trejo, who also appeared in an advertisement for a...
- June 9, 2020Real Madrid have announced that if the league games continue after the corona break, defender Nacho will not be able to take part in them for the time being. The Spaniard injured his tibia during training and has to take a break of up to three weeks. Although Nacho has not been Zinedine Zidane’s first line of defense this season, having played in only five league games so far, his versatility and ability to act in any defensive position is sometimes worn out. Real will continue the La Liga season on Sunday night at home against Eibar. There are 11 more rounds left until the end of the La Liga season, Real, second in the table, is only two points behind the leader Barcelona.
- Munich’s Bayern are marching for the title with the Bundesliga, but the last piece is yet to go. Leverkusen was left behind Bayer 0: 1, but finally a safe 4: 2 victory was taken. The home side worked hard to get through the middle and as a result, had a good chance of getting one back as Kai Havertz tried lifting the ball over keeper Lucas Alario. Bayern spent the first ~ 25 minutes on autopilot, but then pushed in and did not look back. Kingsley Coman, who ran behind the line, scored the first, Leon Goretzka the second from the penalty area and Serge Gnabry the third with a proud raise, having previously wasted one-on-one moments. In the second half, Robert Lewandowski added, for whom it was the 30th league goal of the season. However, two assists raised Thomas Müller’s balance to 20 (and only one distance from the Bundesliga record for Kevin De Bruyne). However, both Lewandowski and Müller picked up a yellow card, leaving them out of the game with Mönchengladbach next weekend. But the eighth consecutive title is already on the horizon: Leipzig handed over points to the red light on the table today, and Dortmund is at least seven apart from a dozen more points. A piece of history was also concluded: Florian Wirtz’s 89-minute consolation goal was the first in the Bundesliga for “the next Havertz”, and at the age of 17 and 34 days he became the youngest goal scorer in the league’s history. Results : Leverkuseni Bayer – Munich Bayern 2: 4 (1: 3)10. Lucas Alario, 89. Florian Wirtz – 27. Kingsley Coman, 42. Leon Goretzka, 45 + 1. Serge Gnabry, 66.

- May 31, 2020In the last few weeks, there has been talks about super fight between Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones.But will this fight actually happen?Jones and ngannou have been back and forth on twitter calling out each other. it seems like the possibility of this fight happening is very slim as negotiation fell through.Jon Jones accused the ufc of not willing to pay him the right money in order to move up to heavyweight.Does Jon Jones really want this fight?Jones initially called out by fans to take up the challenge and many said he is scared to fight ngannou. He responded he is willing to take the fight and beat Ngannou. But is that the right time to move up to heavyweight and take such a risky fight. If we look at Jones last 3 fights, he looked very vulnerable against Smith, Santos and Reyes.So it is safe to say he is on the decline as age catches up with him.Jones is 10 years light heavyweight veteran who was supposed to move up and face Daniel cormier in the heavyweight.He never moved up and he might feel he needs to win a belt in the heavyweight.Because his old rival DC won and defended titles in two different weight classes.Even though he beat DC twice but he still needs to DC legacy .But there couldn’t be a worse time to move up than now because he has to face a young hungry lion who is knocking every one out. And he looks very powerful for Jones. And in order to beat Ngannou , he has to take him down. Even that once was one of Jones best abilities, it seems Jones stopped taking people down.Dana White states the fight won’t happenDana said Jones is asking for absurd amount of money and the fight...

ESPN wants to start boxing on June 9 in Las Vegas. Boxers expect a short life in a bubble
The world of MMA has already spun overseas, now is the time for boxing. Although no dates and matches are on the BoxRec.com server yet, events on the Mecca of this sport behind the big puddle, in Las Vegas, are already being prepared for June 9. Promoters will not be idle in Europe, in our country, or overseas. Eddie Hearn is already preparing his giant “bejvák” near London for the July garden boxing party, Lukáš Konečný has already done this and on June 27 he will organize an event in his pub Eden, to try an interesting show at the Summer Ústí cinema. Overseas boxing wanted to follow in the footsteps of the UFC and secure its events in Florida, where three evenings of the famous mixed martial arts league have already taken place. However, the easing of restrictions in America, although still raging in the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic, has accelerated and it will be possible to hold events in Las Vegas, which is the overseas martial arts capital, from the beginning of June. Primarily due to the fact that it is possible to connect accommodation with events and also betting, gambling is much more regulated in the USA than we are used to in the Czech Republic or Europe in general. On June 9, of course – behind closed doors, the first gala evening of ESPN and Top Rank Boxing will take place, the main star of which should be the American Shakur Stevenson (13-0, 7 KO). He should defend his WBO champion belt in the spring weight for the first time. Garde will have more than goodies – a compatriot and a colleague from the Olympic team, Mikael Mayer (12-0, 5 KO). One of the most beautiful boxers today should at least defend the belt of the American... - May 25, 2020

This brings the number of positive tests in elite clubs to eight, the players of which resumed limited group training on Tuesday.In solitary confinement for seven days “The Premier League can confirm today that on Tuesday May 19, Thursday May 21 and Friday May 22, 996 players and coaching staff were tested at Covid-19. Among them, two have tested positive in two clubs, said a statement from the body. The players or members of the management in question will now isolate themselves for seven days. “ - May 23, 2020MMA fighter Elena Kolesnik recorded a video addressed to Ukrainian TV presenter Yanina Sokolova, who criticized heavyweight Alexander Usyk for filming a Russian film about the church. “Regarding the situation of Ioannina Sokolova and Alexander Usyk. My opinion is that this is nothing more than a hype in the name of the world famous legendary Ukrainian athlete who glorifies our country with our flag. For what? For the sake of hype and for raising the rating of my deceitful, useless program. Everyone must do their job. Athlete – train and perform. The politician is to protect our citizens, ensure security, jobs, and journalists should truthfully cover the situation throughout the country. I remind you that over the course of six years we have been experiencing the wildest horror, due to this horror everyone is lazy. I don’t understand, Ioannina, why are you asking the question “Whose Crimea?” Alexander, the athlete? I don’t understand why you, journalists, ask this question Maruv? Why do not you ask this from the traitor of the motherland, from Mr. P. Alekseevich? Why are you asking ordinary citizens, not politicians, military men? These people should answer this question. What are you hayping on, bastards? Why aren’t you telling what is really going on at home? Again … Scary, scary, that ####### (beat, – approx. Sports.ru). Where are you going, Ioannina? Not to mention that you are a woman. You are behaving terribly. I want to say the following: if you really want to get a sports pundel, a slap, just a fight, then I offer you my services. Like a woman to a woman. I am from the sport side, you are a journalist, but you are not doing your job qualitatively. Let me speak instead of Sasha. Why are you yanking him, explain? Here I...

Trouble with the French: Barcelona is tired of the laziness and sloppiness of young stars
Catalan giant Barcelona is in trouble with its French team stars Ousmane Dembele and Samuel Umtit, who do not understand the importance of discipline in the life of a professional player. Both have just been able to sin again, which has allegedly driven the club’s management crazy. Dembele’s Barcelona career, brought from Dortmund’s Borussia in 2017 for 125 million euros, has been overshadowed by injuries. The club’s sports director Eric Abidal and head coach Quique Setien have stood up for the 22-year-old striker, hoping that after returning from a six-month injury break, he would be of great help to the team. However, a few days ago, Dembele again failed the instructor by not participating in a video conference for all players. According to El Confidencial, the reason was extremely vague: Dembele simply forgot to have a group chat. In addition, he should have shown up at the club’s training center on Monday to show his healing feet to the doctors, but did not come there either. However, ESPN journalist Moises Llorens writes about Umtit that the defender appeared for the training on Friday more than half an hour later than agreed. In addition, he was clearly in poorer physical shape than his teammates and had to leave the field due to muscle stretching before the end of the training. According to initial estimates, the trauma could be left away from Umtiti Square for up to three weeks. - May 19, 2020Hany Ramzy, who worked as an assistant coach for the Egyptian team alongside Hector Cuper, announced that in 2018, Liverpool’s ace Mohamed Salah wanted to hire Real Madrid. Salah had just finished her first record in Liverpool. He scored a record 32 goals in 38 league games and led the club to the Champions League final, where he was injured. It was a very good offer, but Salah discussed it with me and Cuper and decided to stay in Liverpool because he felt there. comfortably, “Ramzy told OnTime Sports.Somewhat ironically, Liverpool met Real in the Champions League final at the time, and a scandalous injury was caused to the Egyptian by Captain Sergio Ramos.
- May 17, 2020“Short, stocky, strange-looking and not very fast,” David Winner sums up Gerd Müller’s playing qualities in the Dutch football book “Brilliant Orange”. The Dutch know. In 1974, it was Müller who scored the goal that left the idol Johan Cruyff without the World Cup title. World Champion (1974) and European Champion (1972) 3x Champions League winner (1973/74, 1974/75, 1975/76) Winner of the Ballon d’Or (1970) 365 goals for the whole career in the Bundesliga (record) 40 goals in the Bundesliga in one season (record) Müller’s strengths on the football field can easily be combined under the collective denominator “ball net”. Quick first steps, extraordinary jumping ability for 175-centimeter growth and the ability to be in the right place at the right time – what else would a top attacker need !? 735 goals in 793 games suggest that this is probably more or less enough. The alternative history of football in Munich Let’s first clarify an open bill: Gerhard Müller is not Thomas Müller’s father. Or well. Thomas’ father is Gerhard Müller, but not the Gerhard Müller we know as Gerd; Gerd-Gerhard is not even a relative of Thomas, although the men are remembered from the team with the same number and their ability to stretch their legs at the right time or set themselves on the ball’s path is frighteningly similar. However, both can call themselves the legend of Bayern Munich today. This is largely the responsibility of Gerd, who took his first steps on the football road in Nördlingen, about 140 kilometers northwest of Munich. In the junior class, Müller had beaten 26 times in one game for the local club, but after the season he had scored 180 out of 204 goals. These were turning times not only for Müller, but for German football as a whole. The supranational professional league – the Bundesliga – had...
- May 15, 2020NEW YORK – Heavyweight behind-the-scenes talks are still ongoing. And it’s still not clear if Anthony Joshua’s duels (23-1, 21 KO) vs. Kubrat Pulev (28-1, 14 KO) and Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KO) vs. Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KO), or the promoters conjure up some other affair. Negotiations, negotiations and negotiations again. And that brings speculation together. Without the coronavirus crisis, everything was clear. Brit Joshua will share it with his obligatory IBF challenger from Bulgaria – Pulev – at the end of June in London. Three weeks later, another Brit Fury and a disgraced American Wilder collapse in Las Vegas for the third time. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic tore this down. Fans are calling louder and louder for the British giants to share it in the autumn, for which some people behind the scenes are trying to set the stage. In addition, a plan has been devised (perhaps still active) for this double-weaving of rich Arab sheikhs. “But I don’t think Wilder should want to fight Fury right now. The smartest thing he can do is try another match and then fight Fury again. He needs time to work with the team, to improve, to put together. Because if he thinks he’s in the ring now and beats Tyson Fury, he’s crazy. There’s no way he can do it now, “Tim Bradley, a television expert and former two-time champion, told ESPN. “It is clear that Wilder will want to talk about what he will be. And that he has a right to do so. However, it is true that since the end of their second meeting, he has never once said that there is no other way for him than immediate retaliation, “added his expert partner and another ex-champion of the two divisions, André Ward. “Look, most people have a price. If you’re a really big star, it can easily be as much as twenty...
- LONDON – The whole boxing world is swallowing news about the legendary Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KO), who two weeks ago announced a comeback for exhibition duels and the last one showed a form on the paw. Many would like to see him in the ring and in more than just an exhibition duel. Promoter Frank Warren has now sent them a sharp message. Offers come from all over the world, at the age of fifty Mike Tyson is once again a sought-after boxing product. Where, who is already speculating about who he could face, especially when his big rival Evander Holyfield also announced his comeback for exhibition duels on Friday. Together, they have an open account for the 1996 and 1997 fights, both of which were won by “The Real Deal”, the second in addition to the disqualification of an opponent for biting part of the auricle. Both rivals and friends from the early years reconciled a long time ago, yet their third meeting in gloves will surely tear apart every boxing fan. MORE ABOUT MIKe TYSON’S RETURN: In addition, when exhibitions in the boxing ring are never exhibitions, they are called for the fact that you can set your own rules (especially in terms of protection) and for the fact that there is no need for thorough medical examinations to grant a professional license. “He, too, wouldn’t give it to Tyson now. Look, he’s fine, he’s feeling good, but give me a break with a match offer for him. Even if he spends another ten years in the gym, he has no chance of succeeding for his current heavyweight, “said Frank Warren, an experienced island promoter, for the British daily Metro. He obviously doesn’t share the current enthusiasm for the comeback “Animal”, which, however, can be quite understood with regard to their mutual history. The...
- The first man of the UFC Khabib Nurmagomedov was scheduled to lead UFC 249 on April 18 in a match against Tony Ferguson. However, the UFC lightweight champion got stuck in Russia and could not leave the country, and the coronavirus moved the entire event to May 9th. Unfortunately Khabib will not be in the octagon. Ferguson will fight Justin Geathje for the temporary belt, and UFC first man Dana White has come to the defense of Khabib, whom many have called out for fleeing to Russia to avoid a fight. In an interview with BT Sport, White admitted that everyone made a mistake and that it was not only Khabib who was to blame. “There was a lot of talk about Khabib. They doubted he was stuck in Russia and a lot more, but what he was saying was true. None of us had a clue what was going to happen and that everything in the world would change so quickly.” said White. “We all made some bad moves and that led to him getting stuck in Moscow. It’s not just him, we’re all guilty. And I accept responsibility for that,” White said.
- Clubs will have plenty of time The coronavirus pandemic has completely changed all plans for this and the next football season. Football in almost all of Europe is still broken, but some leagues should continue next month. It is clear that the goal is to bring the season to an end, but due to a tight schedule some things will surely have to change. One of them is the summer deadline, which traditionally began on July 1st. But this time around, he will be moved and should only start when this season is over. The English media say that the summer deadline will ideally start at the end of August when the championships in almost all European leagues are over. It is expected that it will take just under two months for the clubs to have enough time to prepare their player staff for the new season. Clear dates around the summer deadline will be known as the leagues continue.
- The history of boxing Boxing: the ancestor of boxing the very first Olympic champion in the discipline, Onomaste de Smyrne, who won his title in 688 BC. The first very great champion will be Tissandre de Naxos who will have won the Olympic games in pugilist 4 times, in 572, 568, 564, and 560 BC. For 800 years, pugilist will be a national sport in Ancient Greece. The fighting was particularly violent, and to be able to hit harder without hurting themselves, the pugilists protected their fists with leather straps that the Romans would even end up covering with metal straps to become circus games, long before the gladiators. There was then no weight category or time limit. No round, therefore, and sometimes very long fights. They could only end with retirement or a knockout. The death of the participants (in the Greek version) was very rare, it was really already a sport, and conversely, among the Romans, the slaves fought with metal gloves which necessarily made more victims. When the fight was too long, then we decided between the pugilists with the climax. There was a coin roll that determined the first fighter to strike. He was considered the favorite of the gods. It was he who could hit his opponent first without the latter protecting himself or dodging. The other combatant could then strike his adversary in the same way, until one of the two did not get up. We were therefore very far from the point count we know today. The beginnings of boxing Modern boxing was born around the middle of the 19th century. These are then illegal fights organized by matchmakers, to make bets, and very often the police came to put an end to the fights. In 1865, it was a journalist passionate about...

It should be called Zlatan’s style,” the hero of the story once characterized his own type of player.

Joshua has released the names of the six he wants to fight for the rest of his career
Champion wants fights Anthony Joshua currently owns four of the five heavyweight belts. The WBO, WBA, IBF and IBO belt is in his hands, and it is the desire of the British boxer to take the WBC title held by Tyson Fury and become the first man after Lennox Lewis in 1999 to be the absolute heavyweight champion. AJ is targeting a match against Tyson Fury, and in addition to King Gypsy, he has announced five more boxers he wants to fight. They are Oleksandr Usyk, Deontay Wilder, Luis Ortiz, Jarrell Miller, and Adam Kownacki. After these fights, Joshua is ready to retire, but there is no dilemma that a good part of the fight is dangerous for him, as truly spectacular boxers are on the list. Of course, everyone wants to see a showdown with Fury and Wilder, and a dangerous match could also be against cruiserweight king Oleksander Usyk. AJ is 23-1 in his career and was the only one to beat Andy Ruiz last June, - Ngannou is looking for a way into boxing UFC star Francis Ngannou wants to try boxing against world champions Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. Ngannou is one of the biggest hitters in the MMA world, and he believes he could make some boxing matches as well. Boxing is my first love, my dream before MMA sports. I want to try out in the boxing world,” Ngannou said, continuing: “Honestly, I think I could handle those guys with good preparation. Still, I wouldn’t go there to wait for that one shot.

He was still a renegade then. He often had problems with the law, but boxing saved him from the street and he became one of the best boxers in the world. “When I was 15, the police were looking for me. Then I realized I had to change. I got a second chance and so I decided to box,” Joshua said on one occasion. Would you recognize him?
- April 12, 2020Memory is not always the most reliable. If we remember Ronaldo from the 21st century, we can remember a great footballer who suffered from minor injuries and weight problems. No more. To understand the phenomenon, we need to look further. 2x World Champion (1994, 2002) 2x Copa America winner (1997, 1999) World Cup Best Player (1998) World Cup Best Goalkeeper (2002) 2x Winner of the Ballon d’Or (1997, 2002) The roles of the players on the football field have been reconsidered over and over again, but in the 1990s Ronaldo was something unearthly, a prototype and an idol for a whole generation of modern attackers. He was paid twice the record transitional amount at that time – before his 21st birthday. He was worth every penny of that money. Inexplicably terrible hairstyles on the tracks Those who believe in destiny could probably point the finger at some important event or day in everyone’s life. For Ronaldo as a footballer, the turning point would be November 21, 1999. It was only two months earlier that he had turned 23, but he was unanimously recognized as the best in the world by most of the football world. Physically powerful, fast (supposedly 100 meters fast in 10.3 seconds), with wonderful coordination … “I saw him after the game – I hadn’t gotten this close in 90 minutes,” recalled Quinton Fortune, whose home club Atletico Madrid rallied eight pockets with three games in the 1996/97 season against Ronald. “As a kid, I wanted to be like Pele. I bought books, watched videos, learned to be the best. I worked on it. And then I met Ronaldo.” However, the explosion that was most appreciated by Ronaldo also sent him down the stairs. The attacker’s knees had already hurt after the 1998 World Championships, the...
- April 10, 2020The New York Times, citing anonymous sources close to the situation, reports that Newsom personally called the management of Disney, the owner of ESPN, and in an ultimatum form demanded to cancel the UFC events that the organization planned to hold at the Tachi Palace casino on the territory of the Indian reservation. Well, in the current conditions this is a completely normal event. As a Ferguson fan, I’m glad that Tony won’t be able to fight with a frostbitten (in a good way) Justin Gage. This guy is dangerous. Well, God with this cancellation, I want to clarify something else. Khabib Nurmagomedov has recently been the target of many attacks from the press and fans. People blamed him for not even trying to solve the problem. They condemn him for his inaction and the fact that he gave up so quickly. Deciding who is right and who is wrong is not my responsibility. However, it seems to me that if Khabib really made a little more effort to at least try to save the battle, these attacks would not have happened. Indeed, in the end, the tournament was canceled anyway, and even if he didn’t succeed, but he tried, they wouldn’t condemn him like that. For example, I would not say: “I can’t fly away, everything is closed, etc.” And I would react to everything in this vein: “I will do everything possible to fly out, we will solve this at the highest level and will try to the last.” And now he would have the opportunity to say: “I did everything I could.
- UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov ready to meet the winner of the fight between the Americans Justin Gaethje and Tony Ferguson . – Obviously, the rival will be the winner of the battle of Gaethje-Ferguson. It is the champion’s responsibility to protect his belt. Here the rival is determined, – quotes the manager of the athlete Rizvan Magomedov TASS. On April 18, UFC 249 will compete between Ferguson and Gaethje for the interim lightweight title. Ferguson was originally supposed to hold a title fight with Nurmagomedov, but the current champion, who is in Russia, refused to fight because of the coronavirus pandemic. Duel Nurmagomedov – Ferguson broke for the fifth time since 2015.
- March 21, 2020Follow my blog with Bloglovin According to Dana White, the fight between Khabib and Tony will go-ahead despite the chaos of coronavirus. Khabib Nurmagomedov made a come back last September and dominated Conor McGregor and win the fight by submission. He then defended his title successfully against Dustin Poirier via submission in the third round. The fight is set to take place on 18th April at Barclay center in Brooklyn, New York. but it will likely be moved outside the USA due to coronavirus. The new location is yet to be announced. Despite the controversy around the fight Dana White insists the fight will happen. He said: “We had possibly a couple of different venues for that fight, including Las Vegas, so now the whole Nevada thing went down, so we’re looking for another venue. White added: “If I can still find ways to run the UFC and do it safely, and not put any of my people in danger then we were going to do it. “We will do it. I’m gonna get this thing done. I’m gonna figure this thing out. And I will make sure that everyone involved is safe.”
