Without a win since late March, the Central Coast Mariners have revived their chances of earning a spot in the Asian Champions League final…
In the main event, Bernard Hopkins was simply too good for Karo Murat defending his IBF Light Heavyweight title by the scores of 119-108, 119-108, 117-110. It was a scrappy affair with Murat surprisingly the ‘dirtiest’ boxer holding and throwing Hopkins to the canvas.

Peter Quillin defended his WBO Middleweight title with a 10th round doctors stoppage over Gabriel Rosado who was arguably hard done by. Many had the fight even at the time of the stoppage but all three judges had it close to a shutout for Quillin. The stoppage itself was controversial with Rosado wanting to continue to fight, and the cut didn’t seem as bad as some that have been let go in the past.

With a record of 30-0 (30 KO’s) I’d love to see Wilder tested with some of the big names now. He can bang and it will be interesting to see how he matches up.

If you asked me a few weeks ago whether I thought Mickelson could win the British Open I would have probably said no, but last week at Castle Stuart he seemed to have a new found attitude to the links courses, and with his putting back on track he showed just how much he still has to give.
Now, for him to win the US Open title that he has come so close to on six occasions.

“When you work for a guy for 21 years, and you watch him play the best round of golf he’s ever played, it’s pretty cool,” Mickelson’s caddie Jim ‘Bones’ Mackay said, fighting back the tears.
