| James Toney Gets Controversial TKO Win In Rahman Rematch |
| 2008-07-17 12:43:00 |
James Toney(71-6-3) TKO 3's Hasim Rahman(45-7-2)
It was not the most surprising thing to see controversy reign over this rematch, however there are good points for each side, and one absolute. Hasim Rahman came in looking in impeccable shape, as did James Toney (a ripe 226). The first round saw both guys feeling each other out, with Rahman doing the better work to win the round.
The 2nd round...

| NBA: Brand To Sixers, Maggette To Warriors, And More |
| 2008-07-08 23:37:28 |
Elton Brand may be ready to shock his buddy Baron Davis and the Clippers, as it appears the Philadelphia 76ers have swayed the highly touted beast of a free agent from the west to the east. The Sixers have offered Brand a contract worth $82 million over five years, which is actually $8 million less than what Golden State offered him. It is still all speculation at this point, but word from the...

| MLB All-Star Sham Was Announced With Boos |
| 2008-07-07 14:34:44 |
This year's MLB all-star team was announced yesterday, faced with a new kind of scrutiny. When baseball decided to make the game more meaningful by giving World Series home-field advantage to the winning league, it was a relatively new idea and the fans weren't sure what to think about it. Now that the dust has settled five years later, changes are being demanded from all circles. In no way...

| NBA: Wizards Shell Out For Arenas, Warriors Desperate For Move |
| 2008-07-04 09:16:19 |
Injury prone Gilbert Arenas' ego obviously got the better of him when he thought it would be easy to find a successful team that would pay him the maximum salary. He backtracked and accepted a stay with the Wizards worth 6 years and $111 million, as if he was doing them a huge favor for taking a small cut from the maximum. If he gets hurt again next year, they may be regretting this move for a...

The L.A. Clippers thought they had a very good situation going. They just nabbed Baron Davis from the Warriors, and good friend Elton Brand was near agreeing to a pay cut to stay there. Now State">Golden State has made Brand an offer no one in their right mind could or would refuse. In kind of a revenge move, the Warriors have offered Brand a whopping 5 years worth $90 million. Brand had previously...

| NBA: Davis To Clippers Done, Josh Smith In Philly |
| 2008-07-02 11:25:00 |
The Baron Davis deal to the L.A. Clippers is basically done. Davis will reportedly get 5 years worth $65 million. Corey Maggette has been talked up by many teams, including Utah, Boston, and San Antonio. The bottom line is he wants to win now. But he is going to want to play way more than what the Celtics can offer him, so that's pretty much out. The Spurs look to have the upper hand in those...

July 1 is the first day NBA teams can begin free agent talks, and this year is a huge year as far as possibilities go. The free agency market is loaded, and some of the biggest names have already opted out of their contracts: Elton Brand, Baron Davis, and Corey Maggette. Coincidentally, the two L.A. Clippers may have a reason to stay, as it is being heavily reported right this minute that Baron...

| Pacquiao Dominates Weak Champ, Valero Next? |

Manny Pacquiao(47-3) needed just 9 rounds Saturday to brutally knock out David Diaz(34-2-1), the weakest lightweight champ in years, though hyped recently by some boxing writers as much more, to win the WBC lightweight belt. This was a surprise to very few, although the hype surrounding Pacquiao easily defeating a lightweight champion has not even reached its peak yet. He has much work to do in...

The mandatory WBA heavyweight title rematch between champ Ruslan Chagaev(24-0) and Nikolai Valuev(48-1) has been postponed for the 2nd time, this time almost a week before the bout on July 5th. Chagaev was forced to pull out again when his knee buckled in a sparring session, putting him out of action likely for almost the rest of the year. According to the WBA's rules and regulations, Chagaev...

New WBC Light Middleweight champion Sergio Mora(21-0) appears to be in serious talks with dumping his title and moving back up in weight to face undisputed champ Kelly Pavlik(34-0) this fall. Mora previously had other ideas on how to move on, but those fights would have been in the Light Middleweight division, something Vernon Forrest would not allow. Forrest immediately let it be known that he...

'El Terrible' Erik Morales, a huge fan favorite of the sport, says he plans to work a full year towards a return to contender status in the middle of 2009. He says he will be going back to the gym in August of this year, and a fourth fight with Marco Antonio Barrera looks to be a legitimate possibility somewhere down the line. Morales went out in a very difficult way for a legendary fighter, on a...

It looks pretty likely that Dawson will not be able to delay it any further, as they will both be on the same card in their upcoming fights. This fall, Dawson will be facing Adrian Diaconu, and Glen Johnson...

I wasn't surprised at all that this came from the Yankees, considering all they EVER do is complain. Now it seems they, or at least Hank and Mike Mussina, want to blame their ace Chien-Ming Wang's recent injury on National League rules, which have been a part of baseball since the beginning. Wang will be out probably until late September at least, only because he is way out of shape and can't run...

The Mariners management have made the worst decisions of any other team the past five years, and it looks like this decision came a few years too late. It will take some painful seasons to repair the utter mess he has made with their club....

| 2008-06-15 00:54:18 |
As if it was like something out of a British boxing skeptic's first thought, Joe Calzaghe says he will predictably retire from boxing with his tail between his legs, fighting one of the all time greats that no longer poses a threat to anyone within 20 pounds of him. After ducking Kelly Pavlik days ago, this kind of news was all but surprising. British boxers don't seem to care how Lennox Lewis...

Instead, he would rather face the about-to-be 40 year old former pound for pound champ Roy Jones, Jr., who has nothing left. Like Ricky Hatton, Calzaghe is full of lies with this one. Not only did he say he would pick apart Pavlik like nothing right now, he also claims...

Ricky Hatton is scared of Oscar De La Hoya, and would rather fight Paulie Malignaggi in November to set up a fight with Manny Pacquiao, who was a Super Featherweight only a few months ago. As predicted here earlier, the Hatton camp blatantly lied when they used the excuse for denying the big payday as a scheduling issue. De La Hoya's final retirement fight will now be on December 6 against an...
