Junior welterweights Kevin Brown and John Bauza both made weight on Thursday, ahead of their 10-round main event at the Caribe Royale Orlando set for Friday night. Brown (5-0, 3 KOs), an undefeated 30-year-old Cuban boxer with a strong amateur background, weighed in at 139.8 pounds. Brown has been fast-tracked as a pro, fighting in 10-round bouts since his second professional fight. His debut was an eight-round contest.

Jack Massey has learned to never switch off his phone. In the winter of 2022, the former IBO cruiserweight champion was inactive and avoided. He was working up a scaffold when his manager, Kevin Maree, called offering him a fight with Joseph Parker at heavyweight. Despite being in between trainers, Massey leapt at the opportunity and put in a solid display, dragging the former WBO heavyweight champion the 10-round distance and losing a competitive decision.

William Scull and Vladimir Shishkin will contest the vacant IBF super-middleweight title on October 19 at the Town Hall in Falkensee, near Berlin, Germany. The title became vacant when Saul “Canelo” Alvarez relinquished it to fight Edgar Berlanga instead of honor a mandatory defence against the very capable but little-known Scull (22-0), 32 years old and who hails from Cuba.

[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.]. Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

Since his fight with Josh Kelly was announced, Liam Smith has probably answered more questions about his own ability and desire than he has about Kelly’s. Unfairly, the most recent memory boxing fans have of Smith, 33-4-1 (20 KOs), is the image of him following Chris Eubank Jr around the ring for the ten frustrating rounds their rematch lasted. His fire doused by injury and the difficulty of getting down to the weight, the tame fighter who stepped into the ring that night was a shadow of the fighter who destroyed Eubank Jnr in four rounds eight months earlier and a specter of the real Liam Smith.

It's been eight years since beloved former child star and Oscar-winning actress Patty Duke died from sepsis (a ruptured intestine) at only 69 in 2016. She was also the recipient of two Golden Globes, three Emmys, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the 1960s, she was the star of her own TV sitcom. In the mid-1980s, she served as President of the Screen Actors Guild. Through it all, she was married four times (including once to actor John Austin), had three sons, and never stopped acting. This is her tragic yet triumphant story.

An opinion piece appearing in the Journal of the American Medical Association, or JAMA this week illustrates why the drug problem among people experiencing homelessness in Denver may be so severe. It's because many homeless people aren't addicted to just one drug, but two, according to the viewpoint's author, Benjamin A. Howell of Yale School of Medicine and colleagues.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

Former European super-lightweight champion Adam Azim will fight fellow Brit Ohara Davies at The Copper Box Arena on October 19, it was confirmed this afternoon (September 5). Davies, a former British and Commonwealth Champion, was earlier in the week denying any knowledge of this fight, but that it turned out was simply an attempt to keep things under wraps. Now, having failed on that count, Davies will attempt to rebound as best he can from the first-round defeat he suffered in January against Ismael Barroso and derail Adam Azim’s plans in the process.

They're shaped like a potato and tend to bake in hot weather, biologists say. That's why you will find cheeky little pikas in Colorado's mountains. But climate change could cause these critters' numbers to dwindle, according to wildlife experts. Like polar bears, Pikas may predict warmer temperatures, scientists say.

Believe him or not, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez maintains that his career vision is more of an event-by-event analysis rather than a grand plan extending years into the future. Despite the angst that may cause others, the sport’s most popular fighter has relied on his own reasons this year to wait out the possible future tasks of meeting unbeaten light heavyweights David Benavidez and Dmitry Bivol, and to instead turn toward a pair of 27-year-old super middleweight contenders whose combined knockout rate is just under 75 percent.
