Darchinyan Lives Up to His Promise, KO's Mijares
In a busy night of boxing, it was Vic Darchinyan who stole the spotlight. Not everybody believed Darchinyan's assertion that he'd knock out Christian Mijares, one of the world's top fighters, but in the ninth round he did just that. ...
Bowler Rolls 300 Game, Is Immediately Admitted To Heaven
It sounds like something out of a really funny movie—or a really bad one—but some stories are just too surreal to be made up. Don Doane, a 62-year-old bowler from Ravenna, Michigan, waited his whole life for the moment every roller dreams of—a perfect game. A couple of weeks ago, he finally got his ...
World's Worst Boxer Is Down For The Long, Excruciating Count
British welterweight Peter Buckley gets knocked down, but he gets up again, and they ain't never gonna keep him down.

FreeDarko Will Blow Your Mind With Widgets
I am a big NFL fan. But my passion for that league looks like a mere dalliance when compared to the fantastically obsessive adoration the people at FreeDarko have for the NBA. I mean, they previewed every fucking GAME of the season, for shit's sake. You know, for those of you who need to know the o...
Nothing's More Fun Than A Boxing Controversy!
There's nothing quite like a good ol' fashioned boxing fix, especially when it's extremely obvious. There's something almost pure about how it simultaneously deceives and yet has the balls to not even care if anyone notices.

The Fact That Kimbo Slice Lost is Purely Coincidental
Even though Elite XC said that Kimbo Slice's controversial loss to pink-haired Seth Petruzelli wasn't the death knell for its slipshod fight promotions company, it appears that proclamation was 100% false.
