    Both the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers are obviously thrilled about going to the Super Bowl, already nicknamed as the Harbowl, but these two weeks will be about more than just enjoying New Orleans.

    The man considered to be the best middleweight fighter at the moment, Sergio Martinez, doesn’t have an alphabet title belt.

  • Euro 2012 – Group D Preview

    A semi group of death, if Sweden were six years ago and England had a side people believed in. France look like the talented bunch, this time without any social problems; England look like a mess, no matter how you look at it; Sweden put their hopes on Zlatan Ibrahimovic; Ukraine hope home advantage still means something.

  • Euro 2012 – Group C Preview

    A group of death, like every big tournament needs. The Dutch were part of something similar four years ago, making it in flying colors, just like their qualifying campaign; Germany are the favorites of many to win Euro 2012, but Joachim Low’s squad is far from perfect; Portugal have only Ronaldo to base their hopes on while Denmark will try and shock everyone once again.
