COMMERCE, Ga. — Former President Donald Trump came to a former drag strip in Northeast Georgia on Saturday night for perhaps his most high-stakes rally since leaving the White House. He headlined a slate of Republican candidates, all of whom Trump endorsed and, not coincidentally, all of whom have backed his false assertion that the 2020 election was stolen. Trump’s most caustic comments were aimed at Republican candidates in Georgia who refused to back his many efforts to change the… Source link

There are few happy endings in boxing. Miguel Berchelt, who rose from obscurity to have a magnificent career, is about to find that out. There’s no reason for the former WBO and WBC super featherweight champion to fight once again. He was repeatedly beaten to the punch Saturday at Resorts World in Las Vegas by Jeremiah Nakathila.

The threat of the takedown from Blaydes was enough, as the former… Source link
