Vasiliy Lomachenko stops George Kambosos Jr. by TKO in 11th round

Pound-for-pound megastar Vasiliy Lomachenko proved he still has plenty more left in the tank after battering former unified world champion George Kambosos Jr. for 11 rounds at a capacity RAC Arena to capture the IBF lightweight title. Just as he did in last year’s narrow and controversial loss to Devin Haney, 36-year-old Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KOs) showcased his unrivaled footwork and agility, demonstrated patience when required, and struck clinical combination attacks to not only leave Kambosos (21-3, 10 KOs) bloody and bruised but his international boxing career in tatters. Lomachenko was in utter control throughout the contest and concluded the […]

Paul Skenes strikes out seven in MLB debut as Pirates win

Paul Skenes’ stuff was as electric as advertised. A fastball that reached at least 100 mph 17 times. A slider that left major leaguers shaking their heads. An invention called a “splinker” that is a hybrid of a splitter and a sinker and dips and dives unlike any pitch anywhere in baseball. Yet even at age 21, the Pittsburgh Pirates rookie knows all the “oohs” and “ahs” and knee buckles a ball that at times seems to explode out of his right hand can produce won’t matter if he can’t control it. So while there were some positive takeaways from his major […]

Rafael Nadal rallies for first-round win at Italian Open

For a brief stretch on Thursday, Rafael Nadal looked every bit of a weary 37-year-old player nearing retirement. Struggling to produce pace off both sides with his groundstrokes, committing an uncharacteristically high number of unforced errors and unable to stay in rallies, Nadal dropped the first set of his first-round match at the Italian Open against Belgian qualifier Zizou Bergs. Then the fist-pumping, virtually-unbeatable-on-clay, 22-time Grand Slam champion version of Nadal emerged, and the Spaniard rallied for a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 triumph before an adoring crowd in what will likely be his final tournament at the Foro Italico. Nadal was playing only his […]
