Boxing has long been a cesspool and this fight matches up a woman beater vs a member of one of the most unrepresentative, incompetent and corrupt congresses in the word. The contrasting styles and proven champion material of the fighters make this one of the most interesting matchups ever.

The Champions League Final before a FIFA World Cup always has a special feeling about it. In these years the last club game of the season wets our appetite for the feast of football we are about to gorge ourselves on over summer.

There is a crypto flavor to Super Bowl XLVIII with Seattle Seahawks starting cornerback Richard Sherman accepting bitcoins on his website and the Seahawks themselves rumored to do the same soon.

F1 is supposed to be about fast cars and fast drivers racing each other. It but is now reduced to a travesty of tyre management. This is because the control freak autocrats who run the sport have created thousands of pages of strict regulations which don’t allow teams to innovate.
