Garcia (35-1, 21 KOs) lived up to the promise, stopping Rios by TKO at 2:05 of the ninth round in the main event of the Premier Boxing Champions event. Sporting News had the fight scored 78-74 for Garcia before the stoppage. “I took the loss like a true champion and I came back like a champion," Garcia told Jim Gray during his post-fight interview. “I would love a rematch with Keith Thurman but it’s on him....

Chances are, however, that his approach won’t pay off for anyone else. Last year Americans invested some $34 billion on their lawns and gardens, with three of every four homeowners getting into the dirt. That’s $401 per family, and that doesn’t even include the designer deck chairs, umbrella tables, outdoor kitchens, gourmet grills and weatherproof TV sets that have grown so popular in the last few years. It’s lovely to enjoy the great outdoors, but not if it’s generating so many bills you can’t afford to leave work long enough to smell those roses....

Bale’s devotion to golf is well-known — he notably irritated Real Madrid fans in 2019 by posing with a flag that read ‘Wales, golf, Madrid — in that order’ after helping his country qualify for Euro 2020 — but few had expected him to immediately compete at such a high level. As one of the most successful sportspeople in history, Bale’s unexpected move has already made headlines and will undoubtedly attract an increased and intrigued audience to see if his dedication to golf over the years will pay off....

“The puck and player tracking system can track pucks at a rate of 2,000 times per second in real time with inch-level accuracy,” Bettman said. “It will be equally accurate in tracking players, their movements, speed, time on ice, you name it.” MORE: NHL All-Star Game 2019: Date, time, team rosters, TV channel, live stream Bettman noted the NHL first implemented puck and player tracking at the 2015 All-Star Game as a way to “supplement the information our broadcast partners were assessing in real time....

Someone in the Nissan began firing shots, striking the victims in their car, police said. The Nissan then fled the scene. According to authorities, the shooting claimed the lives of a 15-year-old girl and a 16-year-old girl....

The diagnosis can be challenging, but is most often made with an endoscopic ultrasound. Treatment options (and subsequently survival) have advanced tremendously in recent years, and understanding of the genetic profile of these tumors is important in selecting the best approach. Types of GIST GIST was only recognized as a distinct form of tumor a few decades ago, but advances in the genetic analysis of this tumor has led to progress in its treatment that can be considered a prototype of precision medicine (treating cancers individually based on their genetic make-up rather than with a one-size-fits-all approach)....

Milan advanced to the Coppa Italia semi-finals thanks to a 1-0 win against neighbours Inter after extra time on Wednesday. Teenage sensation Patrick Cutrone was the hero again for struggling Milan, the 19-year-old scoring in the 105th minute to settle the quarter-final fixture at San Siro. Former Milan midfielder Gattuso was happy with the victory as it gave the Rossoneri — 11th in Serie A following just one win in six matches – some breathing space....

On Friday, Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom—accused by Republicans of being “soft on crime”—announced his plan to seek $300 million in state funding to help police combat the “smash-and-grab” robberies that have plagued California communities in the past year. The funding will be raised over the next three years, Newsom said. “We’re doubling down on our public safety investments and partnerships with law enforcement officials up and down the state to ensure Californians and small businesses feel safe in their communities—a fundamental need we all share,” Newsom said in a release sent to Newsweek....

Lt. Keith Wildhaber said that after he had filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission claiming discrimination, he was transferred to a precinct far from his home in retaliation. In his lawsuit filed in 2017, Wildhaber also said that John Saracino, then a member of the St. Louis County Board of Police Commissioners, told him that police command staff “has a problem with your sexuality” and that if he wanted promotion, “you should tone down your gayness,” ABC News reported....

Miller said he told Taliban officials “it’s important that the military sides set the conditions for a peaceful and political settlement in Afghanistan. … But we know that with that violence, it would be very difficult to achieve a political settlement.” During a ceremony in Kabul on Monday, Miller transferred his command to another four-star general at a U.S.-based post as part of President Joe Biden’s plan to withdraw U....

The model, 27, has been documenting the ups and downs of her health journey on TikTok in a series of social media posts since revealing her illness in March. Complications from her health issues have seen Tew lose sight in one eye, muscle atrophy weaken her legs to the point of wheelchair dependency, and her weight plummet to 65 pounds.

Definition and Meaning A genetic predisposition is an inherited risk of developing a disease or condition.

Gennady Golovkin and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will fight for the unified middleweight championship Sept. 16 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It is expected Mayweather vs. McGregor will take away pay-per-view buys, hurt ticket sales and depress media coverage of that fight, which will be miles better than what we will see between the boxing and MMA stars. MORE: GGG as early betting favorite shouldn’t be surprising Golovkin and Alvarez, who are in the midst of a multicity promotional tour, are on the same side of the issue....

When Sporting News asked about what he thinks the deciding factor between Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs will be during their title-unification fight May 4, considering he’s faced both, Golovkin responded through an interpreter: “It’s hard for me to tell. They’re different boxers with different styles, but it’s going to be an interesting fight no matter what and I think the winners in that fight will be the audience.” MORE: Join DAZN and watch Canelo vs....

Although Canelo was out, Golovkin still fought on the date and ran through Vanes Martirosyan in two rounds. Negotiations resumed for a new date for the rematch but quickly became contentious due to GGG demanding a larger piece of the financial pie. The highly publicized dispute nearly derailed the rematch as the two sides simply couldn’t see eye to eye on the split between both fighters. With the fight in doubt, the unified middleweight champion looked elsewhere and had another fight lined up in the event that he didn’t get what he wanted from Alvarez’s team at Golden Boy Promotions....

With Gennady Gennadyveich Golovkin set to face off against Canelo Alvarez on Sept. 15, the question has to be asked: How did he get here? “Triple G” is an otherworldly fighter, but unlike those who share that status, Golovkin’s rise to boxing prominence seemingly came from nowhere. In general, fans don’t hear about international fighters until they make noise and body opponents in the States, while blue-chip prospects and Olympians often have their careers followed and scrutinized from the opening bell of their first professional fight....

He has a versatility of allegiance. A liberal Democrat until 2001, he then fancied becoming mayor, so he became a Republican to avoid a Democratic primary. Last week he said he is now an independent. The most consequential American third-party candidate was Ralph Nader in 2000. But for his 97,488 votes in Florida, which George W. Bush won by 537 votes, Al Gore probably would be finishing his second term....

Kambosos (20-0) and Haney (27-0) are each looking to become the first undisputed champion at 135-pounds in the four-belt era when they meet at Marvel Stadium on June 5th. Haney however will have to do it without two key members of his corner, after his father, on account of a prior drug conviction, as well as trainer Ben Davison, both failed to secure travel visas. As it stands, Yoel Judah, the father of two-weight world champion Zab Judah, will instead be in Haney’s corner for the fight....

Toward the end of 2021, Bush donated to the re-election campaigns of Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). Cheney was one of only 10 Republican representatives, and Murkowksi one of just seven senators, to vote “yes” on Trump’s second impeachment. Following the attack at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, Murkowski urged former President Trump to resign. “I want him out. He has caused enough damage,” she told reporters, becoming the first GOP senator to call for Trump’s resignation....

As Sellers spoke, Batson murmured “Mm-hmm,” but did not challenge her remarks. The dean of the law school, after receiving complaints from several students, declared Sellers’s statements to be “abhorrent” and “reprehensible.” He accused Batson of shirking his “bystander responsibility” by not speaking up. The school terminated its relations with Sellers, effective immediately. It also placed Batson on administrative leave and directed that he “have no further involvement with the course in which the incident arose....
