  Novak Djokovic continues to make history on the tennis court after winning his record 10th Australian Open. Djokovic is now tied with Rafael Nadal for the most Grand Slams in tennis history with 22. Djokovic won this Title with relative ease considering he only dropped 1 set in 7 matches. Djokovic was also dealing with a left leg hamstring injury that he was able to play through. The injury clearly hampered his play at some points during his matches and he stated if it wasn’t a Grand Slam that he would’ve pulled out.  This Title meant so much to him that the emotion poured out of him after winning the final point. The difficulties that he had to overcome within his own body and from his opponents is something that was truly remarkable to witness. There are always a few points that Djokovic wins during matches that he has no business winning. He wins those points because of his dexterity, flexibility, ability to return difficult balls and an undying will to win. Djokovic is t...

    Showtime Boxing PPV is starting off the boxing year with a high quality fight card. Big names like Gervonta Davis, Jaron Ennis and Demetrius Andrade will all be in action.  https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/12508267/boxing-fight-schedule Gervonta Davis is one of the hardest punchers in boxing with a dynamite left hook and power in both hands. Davis showcases exquisite timing, power, accuracy and a killer instinct. Davis can utilize angles and different combinations because of his footwork and small stature. At only 5’5, he sure does pack a punch and has become one of the best knockout artists in all of boxing. I had the pleasure of attending his last fight against Rolando Romero at the Barclays Center.  Davis won via 6th Round knockout. The fight was an awkward one, with Romero making it difficult for Davis to get into an offensive rhythm because of his size, strength and use of angles. Even though Romero was stopped later on, he still gave a good account fo...

       ONE Championship hosted another great night of fights from the Singapore Indoor Stadium. This was a momentous fight card because it was the first time that ONE Championship would be broadcast on Amazon Prime Video. This allowed more fans to see the fights live and further establish ONE Championship as a world-class MMA promotion and a global brand. This was the first fight card of many which will be broadcast on Amazon Prime Video, their upcoming schedule can be seen below. https://www.onefc.com/events/ The Main Event was the highly anticipated rematch for the Flyweight Title at 135 pounds between Adriano Moraes and Demetrious Johnson. Their first fight ended when Johnson got viciously knocked out by Moraes in Round 2 with a knee while on the ground, a legal strike in ONE Championship. Moraes remains the only fighter to ever knock out Johnson. This was a big upset when it happened and fight fans wondered if the rematch would be any different. https://www.youtu...

As a boxing fan, I want to watch the best fights that can be made. The true essence of a sport is competition, tension and close battles. I was treated to two great fights between Canelo and GGG. I view GGG as the people's champion, as I thought he won both fights. It was quite the spectacle to see the two best at 160 battle it out. While the poor judging ruined the result, the more important thing is that the fight happened. Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder is another super fight that could very well happen. A great heavyweight matchup between the best American and British heavyweights currently. Another fight that would be the true dream matchup, one that hardcore and casual fans can get excited about is Terrence Crawford vs. Vasyl Lomachenko. Some people may think this is an unreasonable matchup because they fight in different weight classes but there are plenty examples of fighters jumping up a couple weight classes for a big money fight. Manny Pacquiao moved up to fig...
