IND-C vs SA-C WCL 2024 Live Coverage

Hello everyone and welcome to today’s World Championship of Legends 2024 game in Northampton.
India Champions and South Africa Champions are facing off each other with a semi-final berth up for grabs. After a big loss against Australia in the last match, India find themselves in the fourth spot in the points table with two wins in four games.
South Africa registered a dominant win against Pakistan Champions in their last match to remain alive in the semi-final race but are facing a near-impossible task to secure the top-four finish due to a comparatively poor net run rate.

IBA Champions’ Night boxers showed their skills at media training – IBA

IBA Champions’ Night boxers showed their skills at media training – IBA

[ad_1]

Anticipation grows as all is set for IBA Champions’ Night to take place on 12 July in Serpukhov, Russia at the IBA Coliseum. On Tuesday, boxers of the main card showed their skills in front of the media and made their statements before the event.
Muslim Gadzhimagomedov from Russia and Zhaoxing Zhang from China will fight for the WBA World Bridgerweight champion belt. Russian Albert Batyrgaziev and Jono Carroll from Ireland are to meet for WBA Interim Super Featherweight title in a co-main event.
Carroll, asked about his rival’s fights records, mentioned that he has never watched Olympics and hence couldn’t witness Batyrgaziev’s Tokyo success.
‘My coach studies my opponents and gives me advice. In the ring, Usually, I don’t care about my rival, it is me against me. If I am in my best shape, I can fight any boxer in the world. Albert is a good boxer, and I need a good challenge. I respect him but in general I don’t care,’ Carroll said.
Batyrgaziev, in turn, mentioned that he can’t wait his fight to start.
‘I am looking forward to going into the ring. As soon as the bout kicks off, I’ll become the happiest man in the world. We train hard and wait for D-Day. I have prepared some surprises for Carroll, if he didn’t watch my fights, it’s his decision, maybe he wants to be surprised,’ Batyrgaziev said.
Zhaoxin Zhang didn’t show much of his skills at the training, keeping his tactics for the fight.
‘I came all the way from China and am looking forward to my fight on 12 July. I believe in myself and that I’ll be the winner,’ he said.
Gadzhimagomedov called his rival “patient”, being able to counterattack well.
‘I analyzed his fights, especially the last one where he won against Evgeny Romanov. Zhang can expect a tough fight, which, unfortunately for him, wouldn’t last all 12 rounds. I think, by round 10, I will finish the bout,’ the Russian stated.
IBA Champions’ Night in Serpukhov will be livestreamed on iba.sport, and the tickets are available at the following link.

Boxing Rematch Between Ex-UFC Champions Teased for ONE Championship 169

Boxing Rematch Between Ex-UFC Champions Teased for ONE Championship 169

Two former UFC Light Heavyweight Champions may be squaring off in a boxing match at ONE Championship 169 in Atlanta, GA. 18-Year-Old Phenom Adrian Lee Dazzles in Pro MMA Debut at ONE 167ONE Championship made its United States debut last year with ONE Fight Night 10 in Broomfield, CO, and now the promotion is set to return to U.S. soil in the second half of 2024 with events already set for Denver and Atlanta. ONE 169 (previously billed as ONE Fight Night 28) will be headlined by ONE triple-champ Anatoly Malykhin defending his heavyweight strap against Oumar “Reug Reug” Kane, and in a recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson claimed that a boxing match with Rashad Evans is currently in the works for the event on November 8.May 17, 2014; Southaven, MS, USA; Muhammed Lawal (red gloves) fights against Quinton Jackson (blue gloves) during BFC 120 at Landers Center.

I need to get that win back,” Jackson explained to Joe Rogan. “They were talking about in Atlanta…[Evans] said it was gonna be under the ONE FC banner. That’s what he’s telling me, I’m waiting for my manager to talk to him.”One of the things that makes ONE Championship a unique fixture in the combat sports landscape is the sheer diversity of fights that the promotion organizes. MMA, kickboxing, submission grappling, and 4 oz. Muay Thai are all regular offerings on ONE cards, and in 2018 a matchup between Iran Diaz and Srisaket Sor Rungvisai took place as the first boxing match in the promotion’s history. “Rampage” last competed in MMA in 2019 when he lost to fellow PRIDE legend Fedor Emelianenko at Bellator 237, and Jackson was previously expected to make his boxing debut opposite former WBO Heavyweight Champion Shannon “The Cannon” Briggs in June before that fight fell through.

Landing Stanley Cup champions doesn’t guarantee success for Rangers

Landing Stanley Cup champions doesn’t guarantee success for Rangers

[ad_1]

The New York Rangers lost an important leader and two-time Stanley Cup champion when Barclay Goodrow was claimed off waivers by the San Jose Sharks earlier this offseason. But will his previous championship experience be missed that much by the Rangers moving forward?

Since then, they have added another Stanley Cup winner in Reilly Smith, who will look to fill the void as the top-line right wing.

While it surely doesn’t hurt that Smith is a former champion with the Vegas Golden Knights in 2023 and proven playoff performer, the Rangers have gone down this route before, and it did not pan out how they envisioned. Just two seasons ago, the Rangers brought in three-time Stanley Cup winner Patrick Kane and 2019 (and now 2024) winner Vladimir Tarasenko.

It was widely believed that the two champions would help to get New York over the hump after falling short in the Eastern Conference Final the year before. The result, though, was a first-round postseason exit in seven games against the New Jersey Devils.

Looking at the recent Stanley Cup winners, the recipe for success may come from within, rather than going out and hunting past rings. In fact, Tarasenko was the only player on the Florida Panthers who had won a Stanley Cup prior to this season. So, in New York, that puts the onus on core players like Mika Zibanejad, Artemi Panarin, and Chris Kreider, who have yet to prove they can deliver a championship.

Take the 2021-22 Colorado Avalanche as another example. They had just two rings on their bench, courtesy of Andre Burakovsky in 2018 and Darren Helm in 2008. Still, they captured the ultimate prize, winning the Stanley Cup in 2022.

Other teams have been more loaded with past winners. Take the 2022-23 Vegas Golden Knights, for example. They had previous Cup winners Phil Kessel (2), Jonathan Quick (2), Alec Martinez (2), and Alex Pietrangelo (1), though only the latter two actually played in the 2023 Cup Final.

Rangers won’t ever be able to replicate 1994 roster that included many Cup winners

More often than not, a championship-caliber team is built from within. In very rare cases, like that of the 1994 Rangers, a team can be pieced together from proven winners through trade and free agency. Players on that team totaled 28 rings before winning it all in 1994, bolstering the homegrown core of Brian Leetch, Mike Richter, Alex Kovalev and Sergei Zubov with past champions like Mark Messier, Kevin Lowe, Esa Tikkanen, Glenn Anderson and Greg Gilbert, among others.

“People talk about all the Oilers on that team. That didn’t happen by accident,” former Rangers general manager Neil Smith said on the NHL Wraparound podcast recently. “That was by design because they were available and they were winners. If you’ve got winners that are available, you’ve got to get them on your team, in my opinion.”

Current Rangers GM Chris Drury does not have the luxury of adding this many proven winners. It was a benefit that certainly helped push the 1994 team over the hump to end a 54-year championship drought, but one that is almost impossible to come by in today’s game, especially because of the salary cap.

“It just happened that I was fortunate enough that I was able to make the deals to bring first [Adam] Graves, then Messier came a month or two later, then Jeff Beukeboom, and then Esa Tikkanen and Kevin Lowe and Craig MacTavish and then Glenn Anderson at the deadline,” Smith explained. “Without every single one of those guys, we wouldn’t have one that Cup. You had all those guys in your room. As the manager, I had great confidence in the group, that they would get it done.”

After a quiet free agency for Drury, acquiring Smith in a trade with the Penguins was the best deal he could make. It brings in at least one championship ring to join the two from Jonathan Quick and one from coach Peter Laviolette.

However, the likely formula is that the Rangers are going to need to win from within. It is up to the current core to get New York over the hump. Zibanejad, Kreider, Panarin, Adam Fox, Igor Shesterkin. Those are the players who need to deliver, not past championship winners that are brought in at the trade deadline.

Adding Smith certainly helps, and replaces the championship experience lost in Goodrow. But that Rangers core built from within must find a way to do what other teams like, most recently, the Panthers have done to become Stanley Cup champions.

David Warner keeps door ajar for Champions Trophy ‘if selected’

David Warner keeps door ajar for Champions Trophy ‘if selected’

[ad_1]

He posted on social media that he would be “open” to next year’s tournament in Pakistan ESPNcricinfo staff09-Jul-2024 • 11 hrs agoDavid Warner last ODI was when Australia won the 2023 World Cup  AFP/Getty ImagesDavid Warner has again left the door ajar to appear in next year’s Champions Trophy despite announcing his international retirement over the last 12 months.Warner retired from Test cricket in January when he also announced that last year’s ODI World Cup was his final outing in the 50-over format, but talked of being available for the Champions Trophy if he was needed. Last month his international career ended with Australia’s exit from the T20 World Cup.However, in an Instagram post reflecting on his career, Warner made another reference to the Champions Trophy which will be staged in Pakistan next February and March.”I will continue to play franchise cricket for a while, and I am also open to playing for [Australia] in the Champions Trophy if selected,” he posted.It is a highly unlikely scenario given Warner will not be available for any of Australia’s matches in the lead-up to the tournament. They tour England in September for ODIs then face Pakistan in November when Jake Fraser-McGurk, who Warner has endorsed as his successor, will be one of the frontrunners to come in at the top of the order.Back in January, Test and ODI captain Pat Cummins responded to the prospect of Warner making a one-off return for the Champions Trophy.”I think it’s probably time to give some others a crack [in ODIs], but knowing that he’s going to still be playing cricket,” he said. “So it might be more of a kind of break glass in an emergency option. But, you know, David is going to be scoring runs somewhere in the world. So you never quite know that this is [the end].”Warner finished his ODI career with 6932 runs at 45.30 with 22 hundreds, a tally second to only Ricky Ponting.”Chapter closed!! It’s been an unbelievable experience to play at the highest level for such a long period,” Warner began his Instagram post. “Australia was my team. The majority of my career was at the international level. It’s been an honour to be able to do this. 100+ games in all formats is my highlight.”I want to say thanks to everyone out there who has made this possible. My wife and my girls, who sacrificed so much, thank you for all your support. No person will ever know what we’ve been through. For all the cricket fans out there, I truly hope I have entertained you and changed cricket, especially tests, in a way where we scored a bit faster than others. We cannot do what we love without the fans, so thanks.”Warner will be in action in Canada’s GT20 and a T10 tournament in the Cayman Islands over the coming months while Sydney Thunder remain confident of seeing him return for the BBL although he also has a deal with Dubai Capitals in the ILT20 which overlaps and commentary commitments.Download App Now
