Cleveland Cavaliers point guard, Darius Garland, recently spoke about his recent All-Star selection. Garland showcased a lot of confidence going as far as saying that he is a “soldier.” For context, Garland has gone through some adversity since last year, but has stayed the course and persevered. That determination has rewarded the Cavaliers guard with his second All-Star selection of his career and a renewed importance with the Cavaliers. “I’m a soldier, for real,” Garland said when asked what he learned from that experience. “A lot of people don’t go through jaw surgeries and wired shut. You know, I couldn’t…
David Benavidez showed David Morrell exactly what “The Mexican Monster” is all about. On Saturday, Benavidez successfully defended his interim WBA light heavyweight title and claimed the WBC light heavyweight title, winning a unanimous decision over Morrell in their battle in Las Vegas. Though the bout was competitive, Benavidez won a majority of the rounds with his trademark pressure and pace, hammering Morrell repeatedly to the body and out-working him for most of the fight.
