El universo marvelita nos ha dejado desde tiempos inmemoriales con toda clase de grandes experiencias, desde cómics a películas, pasando por series, videojuegos y más.

Wardley: If I beat Parker, Usyk will want to fight me
Fabio Wardley believes that if he beats Joseph Parker, undisputed world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk will want to fight him next.The winner of Wardley's October 25 bout with Parker will be the mandatory challenger for the WBO heavyweight title, one of the four world championships that Usyk holds. If Usyk is to retain the WBO belt he will have to fight the Wardley-Parker victor next. But the great Ukrainian will have other options and could always vacate that particular title.

How the Aces’ bench flipped Game 1 and exposed the Mercury’s biggest weakness
The Las Vegas Aces showed everyone that a championship isn't won by stars alone. In Game 1 of the 2025 WNBA Finals, the Aces leaned heavily on their depth to snatch an 89-86 victory over the Phoenix Mercury, turning what looked like a likely loss into a statement win. Behind clutch contributions from the second unit, Las Vegas erased a late deficit and took control of the series before it even truly began.Phoenix held the lead for most of the night, fueled by standout performances from Kahleah Copper, Satou Sabally, and Alyssa Thomas.But when it mattered, the Aces' bench rose to the occasion. Dana Evans poured in 21 points off the bench, matching game highs held by four-time MVP A'ja Wilson and Copper. Jewell Loyd added 18 more from the pine, and together they pulled the Aces back from the […]
Yankees make bold call with Luis Gil for Game 1 as Boone hints more surprises ahead
The New York Yankees have turned heads just days before their American League Division Series begins. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed on Friday that Luis Gil will start Game 1 against the Toronto Blue Jays, even though the righthander was not on the Wild Card roster. He also allowed that further adjustments to the postseason roster remain possible.Boone told reporters simply, "Just feel like he's ready for this ... we feel like Luis is ready to go." "Luis Gil is starting Game 1 for the Yankees. Boone says there could be other roster changes for NY, ahead of Blue Jays series," MLB insider Mitch Bannon later tweeted, quoting Boone directly.Gil's selection is bold given the context: he missed much of the regular season with a high-grade lat strain and was not used in the Wild Card series. Nevertheless, he closed the […]

Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is set for Sunday at 3 p.m. ET.The Mercury have been in this position before, as they lost the first game in both the first round and semifinals.

Not that it doesn't matter, but it's OK," she said when asked about what her team has learned. "This is a long series. I think the takeaway from those other first ones, the mindset was 'back to the drawing board.' We had the utmost confidence in our locker room and in our coaches to make the adjustments. Now it's the […]
