Dissapointing that Tyson failed to win the undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the World in Saudi Arabia last night. He lost on a split decision to Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk. I think the fight could have gone either way, but I think that the standing count for Fury after taking a hail of blows in the 9th round decided the fight. There is talk of a rematch in October. It could easily go Fury's way in that one.

I saw that there is a new competition coming to the cricket world - the T10 in Scotland. Now maybe they can only fit 10 overs in between rain storms, but a. is there a need for an even shorter format of cricket and b. can you see it catching on? At this rate we will end up with a 1 over competition with 6 players on each side, each player bowling one ball. You may want to make it 2 innings with a concert and fireworks after each side has batted once.
