A very slow week of boxing occurred with the highlights being Richardson Hitchins stopping George Kambosos Jr, which would lead to a call-out of former two-division titleholder Devin Haney. Andy Cruz stopped Hironori Mishiro. This win makes Cruz mandatory for Raymond Muratalla's IBF title. Friday night, two things to talk about: A card in Ghana went on until the early morning with Andrew Tabiti getting a stoppage win, and LeAnna Cruz had to get off the deck to win her fight against Regina Chavez. Israel Mercado upset Branden Pizarro in the co-feature. Looking ahead to Thursday, WBO welterweight titleholder Brian Norman Jr faces Jin Sasaki. Is this a Fight of the Year or a mismatch? We discuss. From Thursday to Saturday, the WBC Grand Prix will enter the second round. This has provided some very exciting bouts so far. Friday on DAZN, David Stevens vs. Petr Khamukov will meet in a crossroads match. Saturday on DAZN, Galal Yafai vs. Francisco Rodriguez will take center stage with Peter McGrail in the co-feature. Saturday on ESPN+, Vito Mielnicki Jr. will face Kamil Gardzielik, other notables on the card, Jahi Tucker vs Lorenzo Simpson, which is a great fight, Brandun Lee, and Jamar Talley.Saturday on UFC Fight Pass, Callum Walsh will face Elias Espadas in a very good match-up we will explain. Also, Cain Sandoval, "Right Hook Roxy" Verduzco, and Umar Dzambekov round out the undercard. Timestamps 0:00 Dakota rants3:00 Richardson Hitchins-George Kambosos 13:00 Matchroom undercard17:40 Moses Ituama-Dillian Whyte Preview19:16 OTX Boxing card25:35 Ghana card27:10 Brian Norman-Jin Sasaki30:00 TV Breakdown of the Week37:30 Jahi Tucker-Lorenzo Simpson45:10 Callum Walsh

Right as we go on the air we learn that the Dodgers have DFA'd Austin Barnes and called up Dalton Rushing. Jaclyn Ruiz & Melissa Myer from the Talk Dodgers To Me Podcast hop on. Roki Sasaki is on the IL with a shoulder issue as the hits keep coming to the Dodgers' starting staff.

DT hosts Alanna Rizzo and Clint Pasillas react to an ugly Dodgers loss to the Athletics at home. Landon Knack struggled while also kind of dominating the A's. But it didn't matter much as the LA offense was stymied by Jeffrey Springs who allowed only one run on an error.The game was every bit of a stinker. But the news before the game was much worse as we learned another starting pitcher -- this time Roki Sasaki -- was heading to the IL with a shoulder injury. How will the Dodgers manage around the loss of Sasaki? Alanna and Clint discuss.- Get up to 10 FREE meals and a free high protein item for life at HelloFresh.com/FT10FM.

Justice for Twist! Ryan and Maddy review "gaMe changer," yet another great episode for The Gifted's second season. The Hellfire Club has apprehended Rebecca and locked her up in a spinning cube, but when Andy tries to rescue her, it doesn't end well. The rest of the Strucker family figures out that the kindly doctor helping them actually has Moira/Dr. Sasaki vibes, which is never a good thing. Clarice and John are still arguing over what's left of the Mutant Underground, and Marcos is the depressed third wheel, although the three of them still manage to figure out the Hellfire Club's next move even if they don't manage to stop it. And what is that next move? Taking out the power source for every mutant collar in America. A very poorly guarded power source. Next episode: Listener mail!!

Mark also shared which players are the most effective at diving for balls at each position.Brandon, who writes regularly for SportsInfoSolutions.com (see his articles on Roki Sasaki and Tomoyuki Sugano), is SIS' resident expert in Japanese baseball pitchers and their performance in the major leagues. He delved into the pitching approaches of Sasaki, Sugano, Shota Imanaga, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

It's Opening Day 2025, and we've got the scoop on everything Asians in Baseball around the league! First, Naomi did an Asians in Basketball side quest, Kim issues a warning about the dangers of your family members posting things on the internet that she will then use to verify her hunch that you're Asian, and we get into which Asians have accepted the invitation to the White House. Pitching news brings the good and the bad! The good: Yamamoto has a career high 10 SO, Imanaga has a strong home open, and Bryan Woo continues to be unstoppable. The bad: Kikuchi gets the Ohtani treatment in Anaheim, Sasaki has a tough Dodger Stadium start, Tomoyuki Sugano exits his debut early, and Kim accidentally roots against Kenta Maeda.In position player news, we've all heard about these new "torpedo bats," but did you know that they were created because of Anthony Volpe?? And lots of our guys are off to strong starts in the season, especially our favorite two way player IKF and offensive and defensive machine Tommy Edman. Lastly, Ohtani news is back! But when is he back on the mound???

Jordan Shusterman and Jake Mintz recap all the action from Opening Weekend in MLB including the two diving into the "torpedo bats" that helped the Yankees mash homers over the weekend and spark debate across the baseball world. Jake explains the origins of the torpedo bats and how players on the Yankees embraced them heading into the season. He also explains why they're totally legal and not a cheat code. Jordan believes the bats represent hitters finally embracing new technology to combat pitchers who've been ahead of the curve in recent years. After torpedo talk the two recap the rest of the series around baseball, including the Padres getting the first 'mop' of the year in their four game sweep of Atlanta. The two also discuss that despite the Dodgers dominance over the Tigers there should be real concern about Rōki Sasaki's starts so far. (1:30) - The Opener: Torpedo bats take over bronx and internet(3:50) - Torpedo bats 101: What are they?

(12:55) Anthony Rendon is hurt again. Every season. The Angels will go down as giving the worst free agent signing of all time. When does this end? (20:50) So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about why Yamamoto and Sasaki are starting in Japan. Whose idea was it? (31:40) Review: Let It Ride. (34:46) The Padres signed Nick Pavetta to a strange looking deal. When you look at the Padres cap and roster and future… we got some problems. (41:00) NPPOD. (45:00) Yesterday on DLS we spoke about Title IX and a reverse of an order the Biden Administration made.
