Sebastian Fundora vs. Tim Tszyu
Walkout: Let's lock in! Tim Tszyu is walking out to 'Desperado' and donning a glittering black robe. Let's just hope he avoids all the step in, Muay Thai-like elbows this fight.
Now Sebastian Fundora is walking out. It's always shocking to see the praying mantis that is 'The Towering Inferno' walk out and think he's a 155'er.
Prefight: Jimmy Lennon Jr. is now announcing the two fighters. Voice smooth as silk, as usual. This fight was wild to take on 12 days notice. Going to be interesting to see how Tszyu deals with the length of Fundora. Tszyu gets his announcement and now it's Fundora's turn. Fundora is the tallest ever super welterweight champion. Fair amount of pop from the crowd for Fundora as well.
Let's get it in.
Round 1: Fundora is working the jab and Tszyu swinging for the fences already. Tszyu has a fair read on the distance early. Fundora is falling short with the jabs. Tszyu is also looking to dip on the outside for the right hand up the middle against the southpaw Fundora. BIG KNOCKDOWN FROM FUNDORA! Catches Tszyu trying to shift to the outside with a big left cross and Tszyu beats the count. Fundora is not pressing the pace too much and Tszyu lands a good left over the top. Tszyu doesn't look to terrified after the flash knockdown.
MMA Fighting scores this round 10-8 Fundora (10-8 Fundora)
Round 2: Fundora is out this round pressing with the jab and cross. Tszyu is trying to fight off the back foot which will be disaster for him. Now Fundora is fine pot shooting Tszyu. He catches Tszyu around the guard and stuns him again. Tszyu is covering up. Fundora backs off and Tszyu lands a big left that snaps Fundora's head to the side. Tszyu is struggling to get to the inside of Fundora, who is using his jab well for once. Tszyu doesn't have the head movement to deal with Fundora's length, especially after being buzzed twice in two rounds.
MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 Fundora (20-17 Fundora)
Round 3: Fundora stepping on the lead foot of Tszyu, savvy stuff. Tszyu lands a right from underneath and shoves Fundora. He's clearly stronger, more of that. Tszyu literally punches Fundora's right thigh. Now Tszyu is doing a good job covering the jab with his lead hand. He's having more success getting in and landing to the body (and thigh, lol). Tszyu leaned to his left too much and Fundora lands another left hand that gets a pop from the crowd. Tszyu has stopped worrying about the lead hand battle and Fundora is marching forward again. Tszyu and his coaches have some good ideas but it looks like he lacks the discipline to keep the plan in place. Close round.
MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 Fundora (30-26 Fundora)
Round 4: Tszyu is back to the high guard that he's had no success with. Tszyu is on auto pilot now. Tszyu goes cross to the body, left hook high and Fundora comes over the top, punishing Tszyu for having audacity. Tszyu is stuck against the ropes again this round. Tszyu is getting pot-shotted again. Tszyu is now winging in the right, Fundora landing 3 punches to Tszyu's one. Fundora got a bit lazy and Tszyu lands another big right over the top. He can't seem to hurt Fundora. Now Tszyu has Fundora's nose open again.
MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 Fundora (40-35 Fundora)
Round 5: Much more success for Tszyu early. Fundora is not jabbing as much and Tszyu is coming back with big shots high and to the body. 2⁄3 through the round and Fundora decides to jab again. Tszyu decides to try to fight the lead hand again and find the outside angle. Tszyu threw a dangerous leaping left hook that he got away with. Fundora is ending the round strong, putting Tszyu in the corner. Tszyu finally banks a round.
MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 Tszyu (58-45 Fundora)
Round 6: Fundora comes out and commands the center of the ring. Tszyu is setting up his left high by throwing to the body first. Fundora is now on the back foot, trying to land volume on Tszyu. Tszyu is fighting much less chaotic. It's serving him well. He just can't get too complacent. A good right hand from Fundora draws a reaction from the crowd. Tszyu slips to the outside and lands a nice right up the pop. Despite Fundora's volume, this is another Tszyu round. Is he mounting a comeback?
MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 Tszyu (67-55 Fundora)
Round 7: Tim Tszyu has yet to go back to hand fighting. Fundora opens the round landing a bit heavier. He's trying to close out Tszyu's comeback. Fundora is reaching bad on the body shots from Tszyu and Tszyu is trying to crack that chin. Every time Tszyu gets his high guard back up, Fundora begins to march him back to the ropes. The two get in a phone booth and Tszyu lands a massive right. They are now fighting in the pocket and it's all action! A big left from Tszyu. Fundora is starting to clinch up! Tszyu just had his best round! He's playing a dangerous game, yet an entertaining one!
MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 Tszyu (76-65 Fundora)
They just called the fight in the corner! My mind is blown! Something must have happened. This is insane, Tszyu was on an incredible comeback. The announcers are saying he was out on his feet. What a round, this has been a letdown of a finish for two great fighters.
Official decision: Sebastian Fundora defeats Tim Tszyu via corner's stoppage in round seven.
Postfight: Tszyu is up first. 'He's one tough motherf*****.' He seems in good spirits and calls Fundora the best fighter in the division. Tim Tszyu is obviously upset but he's taking the loss in stride.
Now over to Fundora. Fundora is crediting his size for his win and wants to start 'bullying these guys.' He continues, 'I looked at myself in the mirror and said, 'Oh wow, I have reach.' Fundora is dry and he throws it out to Pacquiao and gets the crowd ready for Pac-man.

Pirates complete sweep of AL-best Tigers on heels of getting swept by AL-worst White Sox
It's been a polarized week for the Pittsburgh Pirates since their return from the MLB All-Star break. The Pirates opened the second half of their regular-season schedule by getting swept by the Chicago White Sox, the worst team in the American League. They followed that up with a sweep of the Detroit Tigers, the team with the best record in the AL. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] The Pirates completed the three-game sweep of the Tigers on Wednesday with a 6-1 win. They also won, 8-5 on Tuesday and 3-0 on Monday, anchored by six shutout innings from Paul Skenes. Per Elias Sports Bureau, that makes the Pirates the first team since the 1980 San Diego Padres to get swept by the worst team and a league and sweep the best team in the league in back-to-back series past the midway point of the season. The third consecutive loss to Pittsburgh dropped the Tigers to 60-43, into a virtual tie with the Houston Astros (59-42) and Toronto Blue Jays (59-42) for the best record in the AL. Though the Astros and Blue Jays (.584) have a better winning percentage by a smidge than the the Tigers (.583) thanks to having played two fewer games each. The White Sox, meanwhile, remain the dregs of the AL at 36-66 (.354) So which Pirates are the real Pirates? Their record speaks for itself. Despite the sweep of the Tigers, the Pirates remain one of the worst teams in baseball and sit at the bottom of the NL Central with a 42-61 (.408) record. This is a team that's produced a 5-8 record for Skenes, a Cy Young contender with a 1.91 ERA and 0.91 WHIP. The sweep of the Tigers is a highlight of their season, but it's not a sign of anything larger for the Pirates.

Darren Till, Luke Rockhold erupt over PEDs, 'weird' negotiations, more in fiery Misfits Boxing face-to-face
Tensions are already rising between former UFC middleweights Darren Till and Luke Rockhold. Timing never aligned for Till and Rockhold to collide while still under the UFC banner. Instead, they're now set to compete in a six-round, 193-pound boxing match at Misfits Boxing 22 on Aug. 30 in Manchester, England. Till and the former UFC middleweight champion met face-to-face for the first time on Wednesday at a pre-fight press conference in London. Afterward, their verbal jabs continued to fly on a heated virtual faceoff on Uncrowned's "The Ariel Helwani Show," which led to Till accusing Rockhold of taking performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). Till: "I'm gonna f***ing beat you up just for being a little juice head c***." Rockhold: "You're not 'Tilly,' you're 'T****es' now. You're f***ing 'T****es.'" Till: "I'm just like 'DC' (Daniel Cormier). 'DC' was a big fat jack of potato, but he could still fight like f***. I'm the white 'DC.'" Rockhold: "Ask 'DC' how our boxing matches went. I made t****es fly. ... You better get in shape and shut up." Till first lobbed the PED accusations at Rockhold during Wednesday's pre-fight press conference, while Rockhold countered with similar accusations of his own toward Till. Throughout their professional combat sports careers, neither man has tested positive for any banned substances. "You can get the VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Association) involved," Rockhold said to Till. "I had local guys telling me everybody from your team has popped. And it's always the person accusing people the most who are on s***." From a purely fighting perspective, both have been known for their strong striking abilities, albeit in different respects. Rockhold will be Till's third pro boxing match (fourth overall), while Rockhold's lone boxing appearance was in a ill-fated bare-knuckle match with Mike Perry in April 2023. Although Till and Rockhold have both been knocked out in their MMA careers, they've each managed to avoid that fate in competition since leaving the UFC. Despite Till having the advantage in recent boxing experience, Rockhold remains confident that his chin will hold up better in their matchup. Till, of course, disagreed. "I can take every shot," Till stated. "Look at the shots I took from all the guys I fought at middleweight. No one knocked me out. Nobody knocked me out at middleweight, and I fought all the best guys. [Robert] Whittaker, Dricus [du Plessis], all them guys, [Kelvin] Gastelum. I laughed at everyone and I've got a f***ing chin. You got battered by Mike Perry, and let me just tell ya, I'm not even looking for the Mike Perry fight now. He's that much of a bum. He's the biggest bum out there. He's a bum." Historically, Rockhold has been the physically bigger fighter, competing as high as 205 pounds in the UFC light heavyweight division, while Till started out as a 170-pound welterweight. They'll meet in somewhat of a middle ground at 193 pounds for Misfits Boxing 22. Rockhold last competed at 195 pounds for his Karate Combat victory over Joe Schilling last year. That being said, Rockhold claims it wasn't easy landing on the match's weight. "This kid's been b****ing about everything," Rockhold said. "He wanted it 185. His last fight was 198, I believe. Then he said he wouldn't go above 188, which is just f***ing weird and dumb. It just shows weakness. Then, somehow, we b**** about that for a couple weeks and settle on 193. I don't know what these f***ing weights are he keeps coming up with. But let's pick a real weight. Have a pair of balls and let's just do this right. What are we b****ing about? We're all in the same thing. His last fights were much above weight, and he's just obviously scared and trying to take weight away to make things harder [for me]. Make himself up, try to say I'm slower, try to say I'm chinny. "I guarantee you I'm faster than you. I hit harder than you, I move better than you and I've got a bigger set of balls." Before Rockhold signed to make his Misfits Boxing debut, his first bout of 2025 appeared to be an MMA return for a would-be rematch against old rival Chris Weidman. That fight was set to be within the upstart Global Fight League (GFL), which never got off the ground due to ambitious financial promises. In hindsight, Rockhold admits he never knew whether he'd actually get a chance to fight for the promotion, but was happy to accept the money GFL offered him. He also isn't closing the door on the sport he made his name in, he just wants to focus on the sweet science for the time being. "I was there for the GFL to get paid," Rockhold said. "Everybody else thought it was going to happen. I was getting paychecks, I made money. I was getting paid, dog. They were dishing out seven-figure paychecks on the schedule that were made for non-UFC champions. You gotta think like, that's not going to be feasible. How are you going to keep that business up and running when those guys are getting paid that much? There's not enough revenue to counteract that. So, I was taking the paychecks and moving on. "Boxing is what I want to do, and I never close the door on MMA, but it's nice to take a break and I want to box for a little bit."

Vikings' Jordan Addison waits for potential NFL suspension after drunken driving plea deal
EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Jordan Addison's off-the-field trouble, the Minnesota Vikings believe, is fully behind him. There is one more pressing matter to resolve, leaving the team and the third-year wide receiver to wait on potential punishment from the NFL as training camp unfolds. After Addison avoided a trial on a drunken driving case in California by pleading no contest to a lesser charge last week, the adjudication paved the way for the league to issue discipline. NFL policy on substances of abuse calls for a three-game suspension for a first offense of an alcohol-related violation of the law. Though Addison resolved the citation from 2024 with a 'wet reckless' misdemeanor that comes with fewer penalties and does not count as a DUI conviction on his driving record, a no-contest plea bargain doesn't exclude players from league suspensions. 'Everything is out of my control right now, so whatever the league has got for me, I'll be prepared with whatever decision they make,' Addison said Wednesday, before the team's first full practice of training camp. Addison had to pay a fine and complete two online courses, with the expectation his probation will be shortened from 12 to six months. 'Just to get it all behind me and just get on with the season,' he said, when asked why he opted for the plea bargain. As for his takeaway from the legal process, which began before his rookie year with a citation in Minnesota for excessive speeding? 'Just be smart,' Addison said. 'Make smart decisions. That's pretty much all.' Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said the team has been in contact with the NFL about the case but had no indication about when to expect a decision. 'They're obviously going through their process, and we'll know as soon as they know,' Adofo-Mensah said. 'Obviously, when that originally happened, we knew that it was a possibility, but really you're talking about team building in general. You might not have players on the field for various reasons, and you've always got to be ready with depth, players you're excited about taking the field and taking those opportunities, and this is no different.' Those players include Jalen Nailor, Tai Felton and Rondale Moore. Nailor had a breakout season in 2024, with 28 catches for 414 yards and six touchdowns after his first two years in the league were hampered by injuries. Felton was the team's third-round draft pick out of Maryland. Moore signed as a bargain free agent after missing last season with Atlanta with a torn ACL. He played his first three years in the league for Arizona. Addison's skills likely won't be replaced by any of those role players, however, should he be absent for the beginning of the season. With 133 catches for 1,786 yards and 19 touchdowns in two years, the 2023 first-round draft pick has flourished on the field as the sidekick in a dangerous duo with two-time All-Pro Justin Jefferson, who invited Addison earlier in the offseason to work out with him. 'Just talking to him and letting him know that, 'Hey, you need to be more vocal,'' Jefferson said during spring practice. 'He has that motivation and he's a great player as well, so people are going to listen to him as he speaks. Just trying to get him out of that shyness phase, or just being closed off and to himself, but I think he is getting better with that.' ___ AP NFL:
