Lampley revealed some shocking truth bombs which sounded like veiled accusations that Haymon protected ...

  By Scoop Malinowski Ryan Garcia vs Gervonta Tank Davis press conference tension seems real this time, so I’m expecting a real fight for a change (not a co-joint business deal event). Davis has been carefully protected his whole career so he’s an illusion. Haymon PBC is on the ropes ...

Terence Crawford is 34 now, that’s old for a welter. His best days may be behind. Haymon finally took a chance to match one of his pawns with Crawford. Shawn Porter gave it his best but was outclassed. The stoppage was very suspect, he didn’t appear that hurt. Maybe the ...
