In the before-the-bell undercard action supporting the Garcia vs. Benn fight card, Alexis Rocha and Vlad Panin led the way with solid victories.
Abel Gonzalez, and Sean Garcia also scored wins.
Fights took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in the traditional Mexican Independence Day card.
It was a disservice to boxing fans and the fighters to schedule the contest between former world champion Jose Ramirez of Avenal, California (29-4, 18 KOs) and top-ten-ranked contender Alexis Rocha of Santa Ana (27-2-1, 16 KOs) so early. The Golden Boy welterweight contest seems to have been buried by ongoing friction between promoters.
This aside, Ramirez and Rocha delivered solid action for ten rounds, with Rocha prevailing by a wide unanimous decision. Scores were 98-91, 98-91, and 97-92.

Sept. 11 (UPI) -- The Atlanta Falcons will start Cooper Rush in place of injured quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in their season opener, they announced Friday.
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Jack Strand will be the Falcons' second string quarterback for the matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in Pittsburgh.
"He's a very competitive person, so disappointed," Stefanski told reporters, when asked about Tagovailoa. "But he's going to rally behind Coop and do everything he can to help Coop."
Rush took all of the Falcons' first-team offensive reps Thursday and continued to lead passing drills at Friday's practice session. The veteran quarterback threw for 303 yards, with no touchdowns and four interceptions, over four appearances last season for the Baltimore Ravens.
Rush completed 61.1% of his throws for 3,766 yards, 20 scores and 14 interceptions over the first 42 appearances of his NFL career. He started 16 times during that span.

The NFL signed a deal with the Victorian Government to play two regular season matches in Melbourne over four years - with an option for a third game.
Seattle have just made it clear to the NFL that they would like to participate in a regular-season match Down Under with their Collingwood alliance, who are arguably the biggest sports team in Australia.

Yesterday was a really bad day for the Los Angeles Clippers. The NBA found the franchise guilty of salary-cap circumvention in the Kawhi Leonard case, stripped them of five first-round picks from 2029 through 2033, fined the team $30.0 million, suspended Steve Ballmer for one year, and suspended Lawrence Frank for six months. Leonard was also fined $700,000, incredibly escaping barely harmed in all of this.
The one piece of good news, if we can even call it that, is that the league didn't block Leonard's move back to the Raptors. That trade had been on hold while the investigation was happening, and with the case now finished, the deal can move forward. Toronto had agreed to send Brandon Ingram, Gradey ****** , two unprotected first-round picks, two second-round picks, and a 2027 first-round pick swap for Leonard.
Those five lost first-round picks hurt the most. The Clippers were finally getting close to controlling their own future again starting in 2029, but now they won't make a first-round selection with one of those picks until 2034, although they should get the Raptors' 2031 and 2033 picks. Still, for a team entering a rebuild, that is brutal. Tanking doesn't help much when there is basically no first-round pick waiting for you at the end of the season, since the 2027 pick swap from Toronto is the worst one among the Raptors, the Clippers, and the Thunder, and the 2028 pick goes entirely to OKC.
So if the Clippers can't rely on landing a future franchise player through the Draft, and they also can't use any of their upcoming first-round picks as trade ****** ets since they belong to other teams, they will have to get creative. There are still other ways to find young talent, from taking chances on former high picks to using cap ****** e, trades, the G League, and overlooked free agents.
With almost a decade of Draft problems ahead of them, here are five different ways the Clippers can try to survive this rebuild and find young players without waiting until 2034.

As a team, the Florida State Seminoles did not look as good as expected when they beat the New Mexico State Aggies in Week 0 to start the 2026 season. That was not true of the running backs, who powered the offense to a 34-17 victory with Ousmane Kromah and Samuel Singleton Jr. both having career days.
While Kromah led the team with 115 yards rushing, Singleton finished as the team's top receiver after catching four passes for 54 yards and a touchdown, to go along with 42 rushing yards and another touchdown. His performance was good enough for him to be named the ACC Receiver of the Week, which can be awarded to any player who catches a pass.
Running backs coach Kam Martin was asked about Singleton's versatility on Wednesday, and he did not hold back, comparing him to Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey, who Martin coached while with the UCF Bulls. He also admitted that he thought Singleton was in for a big night due to the work he has put in this offseason.
"He's fun to coach," he said. "Sam's a guy that's in the building all the time. Yesterday, it was a off day, he came up, 'Coach, how can I get better? What's some things I can work on?' You just knew going into that game that Sam was going to have the performance that he was going to have.
"When I saw him catch that 53-yard catch on the screen, I kinda knew he was going to do that cause he played it through practice, and he worked so hard for all these moments. Sam's time is here, Sam's time is here. He put in the work and he's going to continue to make plays."

Chelsea have agreed to sell midfielder Enzo Fernández to Manchester City for £125 million ($169 million) as Mykhailo Mudryk made a deadline-day move to rivals Tottenham.
With the 11 pm (2200 GMT) deadline fast approaching, the Press ***** ociation understands a British record-equalling deal has been struck to take the Argentina international to the Etihad Stadium.
The size of the fee for Fernandez matches that paid by Liverpool to Newcastle for Alexander Isak a year ago and comes on a day when Everton's Iliman Ndiaye joined City for up to £65 million, signing a contract until 2031.
As for Chelsea's eye-catching transfer business, defender Tosin Adarabioyo is set to leave Stamford Bridge for Spurs after Mudryk reunited with his former Shakhtar Donetsk coach Roberto De Zerbi.
Mudryk joined Chelsea in an £89 million deal in 2023 and in July came back from a 20-month suspension after returning an adverse finding for the banned substance meldonium in 2024.

It's been nearly three years since José Urquidy has thrown a pitch inside the Houston Astros' downtown ballpark, so when he arrived back in town as a member of the Chicago White Sox, he made sure to take the early bus to Daikin Park on Monday to take it all in.
"I walked in through the entrance in right field and just took a look around and said, 'Yeah, we were here for a long time and threw a lot of games here,'" Urquidy said from the visiting dugout before the Astros-White Sox series opener. "I'm playing in a different city now, but I can't wait to see my ex-teammates and talk a little bit. It feels really good to be back here."
The 31-year-old Urquidy had some huge moments in his six years with the Astros. He went 27-16 with a 3.98 ERA in 79 outings with the team, while also pitching in five postseasons, including three World Series. As a rookie, he got the win in Game 4 of the 2019 World Series against the Washington Nationals when he threw five shutout innings, allowing just two hits. He picked up two wins in the 2021 World Series against the Atlanta Braves, including a Game 2 start in which he struck out seven over five innings, allowing two runs. His three World Series wins are the most by any Mexican-born pitcher and the most of any pitcher in Astros history.
"All my games and all my innings that I threw here are something that I'm going to remember for all of my life," Urquidy said. "I can't tell you one (favorite memory) right now, but there are a lot of memories here and outside the field, too. The people, they recognize me wherever I go. My family and I have a lot of memories here."
Signed by the Astros as a 19-year-old international free agent out of Mazatlán, Mexico in 2015, Urquidy has dealt with injuries through much of his professional career. He had his first Tommy John surgery in 2017 after pitching in High-A in the minors. Two years later, he made his big-league debut. A shoulder injury limited him to 16 outings in 2023, and Urquidy suffered a forearm strain during spring training in 2024. He was close to rejoining the Astros when he had a setback in a Triple-A rehab start and had to have a second Tommy John surgery, marking the end of his tenure in Houston.

Arsenal take on Aston Villa in a few hours, and there is growing expectation that one of their summer signings could make his full debut. The Sun reports that Ezri Konsa could be named in the starting XI for the match.
The Englishman joined the Gunners in this transfer window and has been training with the team since he was presented during their last match. His arrival has added further options to **** nal's defence as they prepare for the new campaign.
Konsa did not have enough time training with his new teammates to start or receive minutes in the game against Coventry City. However, he is now considered ready to feature, having had more time to work with the squad and adapt to his new surroundings.
With a focus on quality over quantity, Konsa is one of the few players **** nal have added to their squad this summer as they prepare to retain the Premier League **** le. His versatility could prove particularly valuable to the team.
The Gunners believe they have what it takes to perform well, and Konsa is one of the reasons for that confidence. The Englishman can operate at centre back and as a full back in defence, giving **** nal another option across the back line.

Cole Palmer scored what turned out to be the decisive goal in a thrilling 4-3 victory for Chelsea over Brighton at Stamford Bridge.
Romeo Lavia, Pedro Neto and Joao Pedro put the Blues 3-0 up, but Brighton reduced the deficit to a single goal through Malick Yalcouye and a Joao Pedro own goal before Palmer made it four. Pascal Gross then headed in a 96th-minute consolation goal after a dangerous long throw-in was not dealt with.

Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl taking to the media to inform Arijon Ibrahimović that he is available to be sold, without ensuring that the player was fully aware of what was going on, is a bad look for the club — and also a legitimate story per Bild.
Sport1 broke the initial story, but now it seems as if the heat between the two sides is real:
Max Eberl's recent statements about Arijon Ibrahimović caused a big lack of understanding on the player's camp. Eberl's sudden willingness to let Ibrahimović go came as a huge surprise to the player. After all, the club extended Ibrahimović's contract this summer, announced in the public press release that he will be permanently included in the first team rotation this season, and the player was promised the role of Luis Díaz backup after a conversation with Vincent Kompany. The fact that the management has already changed their minds has come as a surprise to the player's camp. In addition to that, Eberl's public comments on the matter are especially what bothered Ibrahimović and his entourage.
Naturally, this has led to the emergence of new rumors, including one linking the young attacker to Werder Bremen. However, for that kind of move to go down, Werder Bremen would have to shed some its own roster weight, per Bild (as captured by iMiaSanMia):

Danbury native Jah Joyner signed a one-year contract with the San Fransisco 49ers on Thursday, making his return to the National Football League.
Joyner, 25, was initially signed as an undrafted free agent by the Las Vegas Raiders in May, 2025, but was released by the team after training camp. Now he will get another shot at solidifying himself onto an NFL roster.
After being released from the Raiders, he spent the season playing for the Houston Gamblers of the United States Football League (USFL), appearing in 10 games.
The defensive end was a First Team selection in the 88th New Haven Register's All-State team out of Danbury High School before heading to the University of Minnesota, where he played for five years.
Joyner was a two-time All-Big Ten Honorable Mention, and racked up 66 tackles and 14.5 sacks in his college career.

The Houston Astros took the field Sunday without manager Joe Espada leading the team. Espada missed Sunday's contest due to a family emergency, with bench coach Omar Lopez taking over.
While the Astros and Lopez did not go into specifics on what caused Espada to miss the game, Lopez implied the manager was having a difficult time, per ESPN.
"I just talked to him very briefly; he's not feeling well," Lopez told reporters. "He's very heartbroken how he's going through this situation with his family."
Lopez added that Espada had "probably one of the worst nights of his life [Saturday night]." Espada has been dealing with the issue for a few weeks, Lopez said.
Additionally, Lopez offered a plea to fans to remember that managers and players are people, and deal with off-the-field things throughout the season. Lopez added that it was his job to support Espada and lead the organization forward.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have named the starting quarterback for the season opener. Anthony Colandrea will start for the Huskers on September 5 against the Ohio Bobcats.
Colandrea joins Nebraska following a breakout junior year with the UNLV Rebels. The St. Petersburg, Florida, native finished the 2025 season throwing for 3,459 yards, 23 touchdowns, and nine interceptions with a 65.9 completion percentage. He also added 649 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns.
The former Rebel's play earned him the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year award. Before UNLV, Colandrea played two seasons at Virginia. He joined a Nebraska team that was looking for a new opening-day starter after Dylan Raiola transferred to the Oregon Ducks.
The Husker quarterback room also includes sophomore and bowl game starter T.J. Lateef and former Virginia quarterback Daniel Kaelin.
Nebraska opens the 2026 season on Saturday, Sept. 5, when the Ohio Bobcats visit Memorial Stadium. Kickoff time is set for 11 a.m. CT and can be seen on FS1.

Montreal Victoire forward Dara Greig was set to have a "bringing it home" ceremony where she shepherded her Professional Women's Hockey League trophy around her hometown of Lethbridge in the Canadian province of Alberta on Thursday.
But it was postponed.
Because the Walter Cup is missing.
The official Walter Cup, presented when the Victoire beat the Ottawa Charge in four games to win the PWHL championship in May, is housed in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. Each championship-winning team, however, is issued its own version, and now Montreal's is missing.
"The Walter Cup keeper trophy awarded to the Montreal Victoire did not arrive as expected at its latest stop on the team's tour," the PWHL said in a statement. "We are working closely with the shipping company to locate it."

College sports had a first on Thursday.
An NFL player entered the NCAA transfer portal.
That's right. Former Ole Miss tight end Dae'Quan Wright, who signed a free agent contract with the Philadelphia Eagles and is in training camp with the Cleveland Browns, popped into the portal on Thursday afternoon, followed soon by other players, some of them like Wright who have signed a professional contract.
You're probably wondering how in the ******* this is happening.
The players are part of a large group who sued the NCAA in a Louisiana court in an attempt to gain a fifth year of eligibility in the wake of the ******* ociation's new five-year, age-based eligibility policy. Dozens of players across the country have filed similar suits on the heels of the NCAA's decision not to make an exception for seniors who completed their career this past spring after playing in just four seasons. They are ineligible under the old rule, but they are eligible under the new rule — if the ******* ociation had made an exception.

Few teams played all of their starters in preseason openers, and it's likely we'll see more Battles of the Backups in preseason Week 2.
Two teams that leaned heavily on their second-, third- and fourth-stringers in Week 1 were the Los Angeles Chargers and San Francisco 49ers. Neither team had its starting quarterback take the field last week, and the 49ers didn't even play backup Mac Jones – let alone starter Brock Purdy – against the ******* ans on Aug. 13.
When the two California teams face off in Inglewood this week, the stakes will be the highest for the bubble players still trying to earn a roster spot and the quarterbacks trying to move up the depth chart.
San Francisco's Kurtis Rourke, a seventh-round pick in last year's draft, seemed to outplay reserve/futures signing Adrian Martinez last week as they battled for the 49ers' QB3 spot. Los Angeles' Trey Lance, formerly a No. 3 overall pick by the 49ers, will continue to compete with 2025 undrafted free agent DJ Uiagalelei for the Chargers' backup quarterback role.
Here's how to watch the all-California matchup in Week 2 of the preseason:

While the world learned of the death of actress Hayden Panettiere on Sunday, Aug. 16, the news hit harder for Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong. She was his babysitter.
"Hayden Panettiere babysat me. I had the biggest crush on her," Crow-Armstrong said in 2022 interview with Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Chicago.
A Southern California native, Crow-Armstrong is the son of actress Ashley Crow, Panettiere's co-star in the NBC series "Heroes." His father, Matthew John Armstrong, starred in American Dreams, Turks, and American Horror Story.

One of the biggest fan traditions to emerge from the 2026 baseball season didn't start with a mascot or a chant. Instead, it involved fans ripping off their shirts and spinning them over their heads in an attempt to fire up the stadium during big moments.
Known as the "Tarps Off Trend," the celebration craze has spread across college football, Major League Baseball (MLB) and other sporting events, turning shirt-twirling into a viral rallying ritual.
While most people have probably only heard of this phenomenon in the last couple of months, the trend goes back much further and riffs on the slang term "tarp," referring to a shirt, that's been around even longer.
So, where did this viral trend originally start, and how did it become one of the defining sports fan crazes of 2026? Let's explain.

Here is everything Houston Texans safety Reed Blankenship said after day 14 of training camp, including how his style of play compares to fellow safety Jalen Pitre, his thoughts on the upcoming joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders and his experience with the Texans so far.
Question: On how his time with the Texans has been so far
Reed Blankenship: "I think it's been great. I feel like we have a lot of fun. One of my main things coming in here was trying to be a voice on the defense, to be a communicator. I found out really fast, I think it was in OTAs, where it was one play and there was a check. I started checking to something and Azeez [Al-Shaair] was like, 'What's this guy doing?' And then he corrected me, but I'm like, 'Okay, there you have a communicator.' I just want to let him know that I want to be on the same page. We're going to work in unison, but we're going to get everybody lined up. It's been great. It's been fun. There's a lot of different personalities, especially in the defensive back room and I just feel like I can get along with a lot of guys and just keep the vibes high."
Q: On his leadership and communication style
Blankenship: "I've always lived by being a follower before a leader. Obviously, in Philly, I was fortunate enough to be a captain and there were a lot of people before me. I've had [Darius] Slay [Jr.], I had Marcus Epps; I had a lot of these older vets that led the way for me. I just want to sit back and watch how they lead, especially coming to a place like this. Obviously, there are established leaders and stuff, so it would be wrong for me to come in and try to step on people's toes. Obviously, I had success there in Philly. Coming here, I want to bring the same thing, but I'm not going to say, 'Oh, we did this a different way,' or, 'We need to do this because it worked here.' Everything's different. The organizations are different. Players are different. At the end of the day, you just want to be as smooth as possible. As I said, be on the same page. Communicate, be on the same page. At the end of the day, enjoy football and have fun."

Class of 2027 four-star power forward Dawson Battie is said to be visiting Nebraska basketball. He was originally set to visit in October, but has now moved up his visit date to September 18-20. This was reported by Husker Online's Robin Washut (subscription needed) on Friday afternoon.
Battie is the 22nd overall player in the 2027 class, the sixth overall player at his position, and the third overall player in his class from the state of Texas according to the Rivals Industry rankings.
The six-foot-eight, 215-pound playmaker has made several visits. He most recently visited Stanford in June. He has made two visits to Nebraska over the last year, including last August and February for the game against Illinois.
Currently, the Huskers have one commitment in the 2027 class in Ty Schlagel. Beyond that, the program is looking to add high school players to the group. Battie is certainly an elite player and will immediately help Nebraska with scoring and rebounding. His moving up his visit is certainly good news for the program.

A one-of-a-kind Yoshinobu Yamamoto card has become the second-most expensive card of the Los Angeles Dodgers ace ever sold publicly.
The 2025 Topps Dynasty Autographed MLB Logo Patch card, featuring Yamamoto's signature and a game-used MLB Logoman patch, sold through Goldin for $196,400. The card is serial-numbered 1-of-1.
That price trails only the $461,160 paid in March 2026 for Yamamoto's 2024 Bowman Chrome Image Variation Autographs Superfractor rookie card. That card, also a 1-of-1, was graded BGS Mint 9 and drew 50 bids at Goldin.
For collectors, the latest result provides another indication that Yamamoto has moved into a different tier of the modern baseball card market.
The appeal of the Topps Dynasty card is easy to see.

LeBron James has added a new venture to his growing list of off-the-court interests: a YouTube channel dedicated to golf.
James, the 41-year-old who recently signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, released his first vlog-style video Aug. 15. The 96-minute video features James and several members of the Cleveland Cavaliers' 2016 championship team during a golf trip to Scotland in June.
Former Cavaliers Tristan Thompson, Kevin Love, J.R. Smith, Channing Frye and Richard Jefferson joined James at Cabot Highlands Resort's Castle Stuart Links. Matthew Dellavedova and Iman Shumpert also attended the reunion but were not featured in the video.
The group played in a 3-on-3 format while laughing and reminiscing about the Cavaliers' championship run. The 2016 team overcame a 3-1 deficit against the Golden State Warriors to win the NBA championship.
