Austrian Hockey Fight Breaks Out During Intermission Interview
Tom Zanoski of Medveščak Zagreb in the Austrian Hockey League really didn’t want to talk about how that first period went. Or, anyway, he didn’t want to do it as much as he wanted to start throwing punches. Despite a TV reporter politely tapping Zanoski on the shoulder during the first intermission ...
Indiana Knocks Off Notre Dame In Overtime Finish That Left Gus Johnson Hoarse

Lomachenko-Rigondeaux, High-Tech Dreams And Mechanical Reality
NEW YORK — On Saturday evening, midtown Manhattan was afflicted by plagues. A snowstorm had turned the crosswalks into slushy lagoons. SantaCon had drawn thousands of drunken Jersey residents dressed as Saint Nick into the city’s streets, where they yelled and WOOOO-ed and eroded the quality of life...
Lomachenko Vs. Rigondeaux Was Never Even Close To Competitive
Last night’s ESPN super fight was a strange one, even before the opening bell. A fighter moving up two weight classes for a fight isn’t especially uncommon; a 37-year-old fighter, whose style is mostly to not punch, moving up two weight classes to fight a man eight years his junior who has massive s...
Vasyl Lomachenko Vs. Guillermo Rigondeaux Is Boxing Fuckery At Its Finest

Francis Ngannou's "Uppercut From Hell" Is Just The Beginning
With all due respect to the first minute of this weekend’s Alistair Overeem-Francus Ngannou fight at UFC 218, in which the two heavyweights hung out at the fence and just sort of idly touched bellies until the referee intervened, Overeem was essentially unconscious as soon as the fight began. In the...

El Ciclón De Guantánamo Blows Away
In January of 2010, Yuriorkis Gamboa blew my mind. I saw him fight live for the first time at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, the small lower arena whose ceiling is crisscrossed with strings of lights like a fishing net. He was matched against Rogers Mtagwa, a Tanzanian with a rugged reputatio...
Michael Crabtree And Aqib Talib Sparked A Raiders-Broncos Fight
Last season, Aqib Talib and Michael Crabtree had a bit of a kerfuffle when the Denver corner ripped the chain off the Oakland receiver on the field. Today, just four minutes into the Broncos-Raiders rematch, Crabtree went for payback, blocking Talib so roughly that he forced Talib off the field and...

All Losers Brackets Should Be Called Repechages
What do you call the part of a double-elimination tournament where the losers go after their first loss? There is a reasonable case for “loser’s bracket,” “losers bracket,” and “losers’ bracket.” Let’s give loser’s bracket two losses; this isn’t the bracket of one loser. Losers’ bracket might be str...

UFC Moron Gets Hit With A Boomerang After Calling Brazilians "Filthy Animals" [Update]
UFC welterweight contender Colby Covington has fashioned himself as a heel, although unlike, say, fellow heel Michael Bisping, Covington’s idea of a good troll is to just call the champ in his division a scared girl until he agrees to fight him. He’s also into shitting on Brazilian fighters and call...

Little-known Red Wing Luke Witkowski beat the heck out of Calgary’s Brett Kulak at the end of a Detroit blowout tonight, with a potential gray-area extra punch after he already clearly won.
