The past few weeks have brought no shortage of physical and verbal confrontations. Monday was no different. Teofimo Lopez, Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney and Arnold Barboza Jr. produced headlines for their roles in the press conference for their event at Times Square.
Two weeks removed from Chris Eubank Jr. slapping Conor Benn with an egg, Lopez and Barboza Jr. got their hands dirty. The boxers traded barbs before their May 2 fight in New York City. Things escalated during their subsequent face off.
Barboza Jr. was the first to get physical, somewhat gently nudging Lopez’s cowboy hat off his head. They exchanged escalatingly intense shoves. Boxing promoter Oscar De La Hoya attempted to intervene but security sprang to action after Lopez slapped Barboza Jr.
Though Garcia and Haney fight different opponents on May 2, simmering tensions between them boiled over on Monday. Garcia and Haney fought last April. Garcia won a decision after knocking down his rival multiple times, but the fight was overturned to a no-contest after Garcia tested positive for the banned substance Ostarine.
“I’m really focused on just whooping Devin Haney’s ass again,” Garcia said ahead of his fight with Rolando “Rolly” Romero. “That’s all I’m really worried about. Not even to redeem myself, just to cement that bullshit f—ing Ostarine bullshit, which you probably did set up.”
“You know what happened,” Haney, who fights Jose Ramirez, replied. “How did you test positive? You took your punishment because you knew you were guilty. Do not do drugs, kids.”
Garcia barked back, arguing that Ostarine did not contribute to his superior boxing performance.
“That Ostarine don’t help you block a left hook, bro,” Garcia said. “You got hit like a thousand times. You got dribbled off the canvas. You know nothing was taken. You know damn well. Do not do drugs? He had that in his back pocket the whole time.”

Souboj o vládu nad pěti kruhy. Kejval má poprvé soupeře
Před poslední volbou v roce 2021 se dost hlasitě jako Kejvalův vyzyvatel přihlásil Filip Neusser. Týden před volbou ale vláda Andreje Babiše jmenovala Neussera šéfem Národní sportovní agentury, a z třaskavé volby tak sešlo.Zatímco před čtyřmi lety se veřejný prostor dlouho plnil ostrými vyjádřeními zejména ze strany Neussera, letos alespoň navenek žádná výrazná kampaň neprobíhala.Oba kandidáti si vyjadřovali respekt. Však spolu v Českém olympijském výboru působí od roku 2012, 57letý Kejval v roli předsedy, o dva roky starší Varhaník má jako místopředseda na starosti ekonomiku.

Chiefs picking up fifth-year options for CB Trent McDuffie, DE George Karlaftis, per report
Getty Images The Kansas City Chiefs will be keeping two important defenders around for at least another year. The Chiefs plan to pick up the fifth-year options on the rookie contracts of cornerback Trent McDuffie and edge rusher George Karlaftis, according to ESPN. Picking up those options will tie McDuffie and Karlaftis to the Chiefs through the 2026 season. As CBS Sports contributor and former NFL agent Joel Corry noted, McDuffie's fifth-year option will pay $13.362 million, while Karlaftis' will cost the Chiefs $15.196 million for that 2026 campaign. Both of those deals would be considered bargains relative to the value the players provide with their level of play. These are two vital cogs in the Chiefs' defense, which has been leaned on more in recent seasons as the offense has continued to evolve toward a more ball-control, run-and-short-pass unit in response […]
WATCH: Thunder’s defense is the best in modern NBA history. Here’s how it works
You only need to watch one defensive possession by the Oklahoma City Thunder to understand that what they do is not normal.It typically goes something like this: Relentless pressure by one of their ballhawks, primarily Lu Dort or Alex Caruso terrorizing opposing ball handlers. Seamless switches on the perimeter. An aggressive pick-and-roll coverage that is all predicated on forcing offenses into poor decisions. The Thunder can then react and rotate as a collective unit, as if tied together at the hips by a string, and use their athleticism to evaporate openings. If somehow, someway, you get through all that? Good luck scoring on two of the best rim-protecting big men in the NBA in Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein.AdvertisementIn a league where defending at a high level is next to impossible due to the ground teams have to cover as […]

Jimmy Butler says ‘I don’t like Dillon Brooks’ after trash talk ignites Warriors’ win over Rockets
When Jimmy Butler hit the ground in Game 2 of the Warriors’ first-round series against the Rockets, it didn’t look like he’d be back on the court any time soon. So when Golden State cleared him to return from his pelvic contusion for Game 4 on Monday, it seemed very reasonable to question just how much the six-time All-Star could contribute in the heat of a nasty, physical series against a Houston team that would be fighting tooth and nail to avoid falling into a 3-1 hole.“A lot of pain,” Butler said of the days following his Game 2 fall, which included round-the-clock treatment to try to get him back on the floor. “And then I woke up today, and I was good enough.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementFor most of the early going, it didn’t look like it. Butler had just four points on […]
