Beauchamp, a seasoned fighter who has shared the ring with the likes of Brock Jarvis (21-1, 19 KOs) and Sam Goodman (19-0, 8 KOs), was there to spar with WBA titlist Thammanoon Niyomtrong (24-0, 9 KOs), also known as Knockout CP Freshmart, at the Thai Payak Boxing Gym.

Hello Gold Medallist and newest member of the LPGA Hall of Fame, Lydia Ko. Lydia, congratulations again. Just has it all kind of sunk in, everything from last week? I actually don’t know if it has sunk in yet. I didn’t sleep Saturday night just because of travel logistics and all that. So I went to sleep for the first time on Sunday night. It was pretty surreal. I woke up, like, was that a dream? Did that just really happen? Super exciting. I’ve gotten an overwhelming amount of support from the players and the people that I know, and…

Michael Chandler would love to kick Conor McGregor’s ass in front of Donald Trump. Chandler has been nothing, but patient while waiting for his red panty night against the Irish megastar. It looked as though the way would finally pay off on June 29 when the two were scheduled to headline UFC 303 in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, the fight never came to be after McGregor bowed out due to a broken pinky toe. Recent rumors suggest that their clash will be rebooked for UFC 310 in December, though no official announcements have been made. In the meantime, ‘Mystic Mac’ has…
Paris Olympics – Best Female Relay: American Women’s All-Star Team Flexed Muscle in Medley Relay Domination The American women had posted a strong, balanced performance over the first eight days of Olympic swimming, but thanks to Australian freestyle prowess, the U.S. had yet to secure a relay win. They didn’t claim relay gold three years earlier in Tokyo, either, with the team coming up 13-hundredths behind Australia in the 400 medley relay on the final day of competition. This time, though, there would be no doubt of American strength with an utterly dominant performance in the meet-ending medley. This group…

A Set small text size A Set the default text size A Set large text size Enough is enough. How much longer must we endure the disastrous quagmire in which Australian rugby finds itself after the weekend’s humiliating loss, a loss which – although I haven’t looked this up – I am pretty sure is the biggest defeat in Wallaby history?Even worse, it was to South Africa, a nation which if I recall correctly only began playing rugby in the early 1990s.The facts are clear: the Joe Schmidt experiment has failed and it is time to move on.
