Luis Alberto Lopez’s win streak and title reign ended in the worst imaginable way. ESPN’s Mark Kriegel reported that the dethroned IBF featherweight titlist suffered a small brain bleed after his Aug. 10 knockout defeat to Angelo Leo. Their competitive title fight saw Leo counter a jab with a perfectly timed left hook. Lopez was put flat on his back where he remained until referee Ernie Sharif waved off the contest. Leo (25-1, 12 knockouts) entered Tingley Coliseum in his Albuquerque hometown as the overwhelming crowd favorite. He left as the newly crowned IBF titlist and The Ring’s No. 2-rated…

America’s Lauren Coughlin secured her second victory in three starts after winning the Women’s Scottish Open at Dundonald Links. Coughlin, who won the Canadian Women’s Open at the end of last month, came into the final day leading by one stroke in Scotland.

At Latest Games, Sprint Sensation Sarah Sjostrom Dazzled in City of Lights Just before the start of the Olympic Games, Sarah Sjostrom was comfortable with a limited schedule. The 50-meter freestyle and a little relay duty for Sweden. That program seemed just right for the 30-year-old. It would allow her to give back to her country, while focusing on the individual event that meant to the most to the future Hall of Famer. When Sjostrom departed Paris, however, she had a pair of solo gold medals in her possession. As successful as Sjostrom has been in the…

Indeed, the Springboks bombed two tries in two minutes – Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu spilt the ball with the line free while Makazole Mapimpi lost control of it after a last-ditched tackle from Tom Wright – but the Wallabies stayed in the hunt.As expected, however, the Springboks grew throughout the game as they brought on their A-listers in…

I know there are a lot of great fans and people out there encouraging me to rethink things.But I have sometimes found it hurtful when people push back.Some people are quick to give their input and advice when they don’t really know what you are going through.I’ve been very vocal about something that is deeply personal and that a lot of people do not want to talk about. The only thing I have asked is people to respect my decision.I would like there to be a higher level of conversation about the awareness of endometriosis. It’s an issue that can…
