Nick Kyrgios Took A Beating

Adalaide Byrd Must Have Slept Through The Middle Rounds
Saturday night’s middleweight bout between Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez was a good one. The two judges who didn’t shock and appall viewers with their scorecards had it as a close one—Dave Moretti had it as a narrow (115-113) Golovkin win, while Don Trella had it as a 114-114 draw.

Cubs Battery Lose Their Minds Over Blown Strike Three Call
The call that got John Lackey going was a really, really bad one. With the count 2-2 against Carlos Martinez in the top of the fifth inning, Lackey threw a breaking pitch that sailed right over the middle of the plate.

Who Is Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez?
Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez may be the world’s most popular boxer, and yet he has a problem: He lacks credibility among the sport’s largest fan bases, Mexicans and, increasingly, Mexican-Americans.

Everyone knew today’s Tottenham-Borussia Dortmund match was going to be the one to watch even before the games kicked off, seeing how good and evenly matched both teams are.

Conor McGregor Motivated To Keep Fighting After Looking At A Big Boat
Conor McGregor, who’s currently luxuriating in the afterglow of getting his ass kicked for money, recently saw a big boat.
