Daniel Dubois having a party in his house hours before the Usyk fight is nothing. Ricky Parkey had a full on party with like 2 dozen friends and family dancing to Rick James in his DRESSING ROOM before getting squashed by Evander Holyfield in 1987. That’s how you do it
There is cold air flowing through my entire home for the first time in three months. This is a good day.
As a lifelong reader of the WaPo sports section, I can tell you that Dan elevated an already legendary institution.
Well. Tomorrow is my last day at The Washington Post. It’s been a total thrill.
I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better
Interesting and important context
Seen a lot on here about the gathering that took place at the Daniel Dubois house on Saturday before his fight with Oleksandr Usyk, as far as I’m aware something similar was also thrown before his fight with Anthony Joshua. 😅 #Boxing
Put Gary, Gary Antuanne and Gary Antonio on a tripleheader here in DC at least once a year. Call it Russellmania.
Happy National Ice Cream Day! Today’s flavors: some excellent key lime pie, black cherry crumble, and my usual honey graham from Lulabelle’s in Petworth, DC.
This is by far the lowest I’ve seen the welterweight division in my lifetime.
Good scorecards. Fair decision. I had it 114-114 myself. But, man, Barrios' stock plummets. And Manny was tremendous for a 46-year-old.
Pacquiao: "Hard work and discipline." How does that not summon Floyd Mayweather Jr., like saying "Beetlejuice" three times?
Mario Barrios barely holds on to his world title via majority draw.
Make no mistake, Manny Pacquiao looks 46 years old. But he's got enough to possibly be beating a reigning world champion through 11 rounds #PacquiaoBarrios
Manny Pacquiao vs. Sebastian Fundora would look like Little Mac in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out.
Manny Pacquiao winning tonight will feel incomplete without Jim Lampley tearing up about it.

Of all the fighters Manny Pacquiao has faced, only one is still active: Keith Thurman. It'd be two if and when Yordenis Ugas comes back.
