Boxing great Marvelous Marvin Hagler dies at 66

-

Marvelous Marvin Hagler stopped Thomas Hearns in a fight that lasted less than eight minutes yet was so epic that it still lives in boxing lore. Two years later he was so disgusted after losing a decision to Sugar Ray Leonard — stolen, he claimed, by the judges — that he never fought again. One of the great middleweights in boxing history, Hagler died Saturday at the age of 66.

Report: Florida basketball to have one of the ‘top basketball NIL budgets in the SEC’

-
The Florida basketball program has flourished under head coach Todd Golden , with his emphasis on leveraging the transfer portal playing a key role in their success. The team finished the season with an incredible 30-4 record and won the SEC Tournament, a testament to Golden's ability to build a winning roster through experienced transfers. Every starter besides Alex Condon was a transfer portal acquisition for Golden and the Gators.

Last year, Bibee took over as the club’s No. 1 starter after Shane Bieber needed Tommy John surgery , Gavin Williams missed most of the season with his own injury issues and Triston McKenzie lost his command to the point of needing to be sent to Triple-A Columbus. Bibee was recently named as the club’s Opening Day starter . This article...
