KATIE TAYLOR and Amanda Serrano have already agreed to box 12 three-minute rounds if they fight a third time. The rivals have agreed to disagree, however, regarding the clash of heads that caused Serrano’s grotesque gash over her right eye in the fourth round of their rematch Friday night at AT&T Stadium. Serrano insisted after narrowly losing a 10-round unanimous decision that Taylor head-butted her on purpose. Taylor disputed Serrano’s accusation during her post-fight press conference. “It just happens sometimes when you’re fighting against a southpaw, especially,” Taylor said. “The fighters go in close and it just happens. It was…

According to sources close to the NBA, the league is seriously considering to change the format of the All-Star Game and turn it into a tournament-style event, which would be similar to the one displayed by the Rising Stars competition in the past few years.

Last year, the East defeated the West 211-186, which combined…

Alvarado pressed the pace, with Sara Casasola (Crelan-Correndon) and Brand trailing closely behind. The Dutch champion managed to overtake the Italian champion on a small ramp that had caused problems throughout the race, to…
Fall Report Patrick Ebert – November 12, 2024 When it comes to the best mid-major programs – most simply defined as any school that is not a member of a Power 4 conference – Dallas Baptist is on a very short list of the very best teams in the nation. With head coach Dan Heefner guiding the team, DBU has made the postseason for 10 straight seasons. In fact, since Heefner took over the head coaching job starting with the 2008 season, the Patriots have only missed the NCAA Tournament three times (2009, 2010, 2013).While the Patriots have hosted a regional and…
