It’s Friday, so I wanted to close the week with something short, sweet, fun, and light. I haven’t watched wrestling in many years but this would be a spectacle worth tuning in for. Gheorge Muresan (7’7″ 315 lbs) and Boban Marjanovic (7’3″ 290 lbs) have the size to captivate an audience along with with athleticism…
I’m sure the 2008 Lions can find some solace in the 2017 Browns joining them in the shameful 0-16 club. After all, misery does love company. Both franchises put forth impressively pathetic showings leading to the only defeated seasons in the 39 years since the NFL switched to a 16 game schedule. This inevitably…
Stealing home plate is one of the most exciting and difficult plays to pull off in all of sports. Runners often find themselves on the losing side of this pursuit with a success rate that lies somewhere around 25% between the years 2000 -2015 (Steals of Home Since 2000). There are many factors that play…
Need some time wasters to get through your workday? How about some topics for you and your friends to debate over at the bar? That’s what Sports Scenarios is here to provide. Each week I’ll present a series of thought provoking questions and statements for fans of all sports. Some will be more serious analytical…
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The World Boxing Super Series is the best combat tournament since Frank Dux took down the Kumite. This weekend we return to the action with a cruiserweight semi-final matchup between WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk (13-0 11 KO’s) and WBC champ Mairis Briedis (23-0 18 KO’s). Both…
When discussing boxing, the phrase “world title fight” has become more watered down than an Applebee’s Dollarita (How a Dollarita is Made). This weekend featured 6 world title fights, but most fans realize that this is the product of a sport over saturated with titles. With 17 divisions and 4 major belts in each division there…
As a boxing fan there are few things more satisfying than a long anticipated super-fight justifying its billing. That’s what we received this Saturday in an excellent bout between GGG and Canelo that lived up to the hype. Each fighter fought with their signature brave and fearless styles that made this such an in demand…
Now that the circus surrounding Floyd vs. Conor has finally fookin’ subsided boxing fans can concentrate on the true marquee match of 2017, GGG vs. Alvarez. This Saturday, after over a year of negotiations, our patience is rewarded with a clash between the lineal Middleweight champion (Canelo) and the man who currently holds the majority…
It’s no great secret that the popularity of boxing has went down the shitter in recent times. Action packed fights between big name fighters have become rare causing many fans to lose interest. When the sport has some positive momentum, that momentum needs to be harnessed and built upon if boxing is going to break back…
Let’s talk heavyweights. No not the fire flames Ben Stiller movie from 1995 but the lifeless, destitute, once proud but now largely ignored boxing division. Title fights in this division were once considered must watch events that captured the interest of the public worldwide and sometimes served as alternate battlegrounds for larger world issues (ex….
