Instead, the one-time Everton starlet is being linked to Italian powerhouse AS Roma – a team more renown for Francesco Totti than ex Sunderland midfielders.

Are eSports Really Real Sports?
For the last few years I’ve found this question be rather problematic and annoying. Doing research for this article has only made the question more annoying. It’s comical how the biggest opponents to eSports being a sport, typically have never and will never compete in a sport at a professional level like Jimmy Kimmel or Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg on the view. In the backdrop of the 9th League of Legends world championship it seems a poignant time to return to this question.

Golovkin Reclaims IBF Title After Gruelling 12 Rounds
Saturday night’s bout with Ukrainian Sergiy Derevyanchenko at Madison Square Garden was the first title fight Kazakhstan’s Gennady Golovkin has had since his decision loss to Mexico’s Canelo Alvarez in September 2018.

That statement was that he is still a world class fighter despite being 37, which is around the age most boxers consider retirement. He certainly demonstrated this with his first round knockdown of Derevyanchenko, whose only loss to date was against Daniel Jacobs, but was unable to repeat this for the remainder of the fight.
