The Daniel Dubois vs. Fabio Wardley heavyweight fight at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena on May 9 was one of the most brutal boxing matches of 2026. Daniel Dubois went to the canvas twice before stopping Fabio Wardley in the 11th round to win back the WBO world heavyweight title and become a two-time champion.

The fight featured constant exchanges, heavy punches and dramatic momentum shifts that kept fans engaged from start to finish. After the fight, unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk shared his honest reaction during an interview with DAZN Boxing.

While Usyk praised Dubois for the victory, he also questioned Wardley’s tactics and raised concerns about the damage both fighters suffered during the intense heavyweight battle. His comments soon became one of the biggest talking points in boxing.

Oleksandr Usyk Criticizes Fabio Wardley’s Tactics in Daniel Dubois Fight

Oleksandr Usyk focused heavily on Fabio Wardley’s lack of basic boxing technique during the Daniel Dubois fight. Speaking to DAZN Boxing, Usyk questioned why Wardley failed to use his jab throughout the contest.

“This is a street fight. Congratulations Dubois, good job, new world champion, but Fabio, where’s the jab? Fabio, where?. [He] Never stabbed. maybe once. Only the right hand, only the right hand. Not working. Very strong chin but I think this is a street fight, it’s a problem for both guys [the] Brain and Health.”

Wardley enters the fight with strong momentum after defending the WBO titles against Justice Hauni and Joseph Parker in 2025. Many expected him to control the fight against Dubois. Instead, Wardley relied primarily on power punches and aggressive exchanges.

Dubois handled the pressure and gradually turned the fight around with body shots and forward movement. As the round continued, Wardley endured more punishment while his offense became less effective.

Daniel Dubois revives heavyweight boxing career after brutal victory over Fabio Wardley

Daniel Dubois’ victory marked another big moment in his return to heavyweight boxing. Dubois had faced criticism after previous losses, including to Oleksandr Usyk. However, the British heavyweight showed toughness and grit against Wardley.

Dubois survived two knockdowns before taking control in the later rounds. His pressure and conditioning ultimately overwhelmed Wardley in the 11th round.

The result also changed the immediate future of the heavyweight division. Usyk has previously expressed interest in fighting the winner as he continues his pursuit of another undisputed heavyweight championship run. That plan will now be put on hold as Wardley has activated the rematch clause in his contract.

Promoters are already discussing a second Daniel Dubois vs. Fabio Wardley fight after the first bout received praise from fans and the boxing media.

Oleksandr Usyk warned about health risks after heavyweight fight

Oleksandr Usyk’s biggest concern after the Daniel Dubois fight centered around fighter safety. The Ukrainian champion said the fight looked more like a “street fight” than a technical boxing match.

Both the giants faced clean punches for about 11 rounds. Wardley’s tenacity helped him stay in the fight, but his defensive mistakes allowed Dubois to be landed repeatedly.

Usyk’s comments reflect growing concerns about the long-term health risks associated with repeated head injuries and punishing fighting in boxing. Even though fans applauded the action, Usyk stressed that constant exchanges without smart defense can cause serious problems for fighters later in life.

At 39 years old, Usyk is one of boxing’s top technical fighters. He is preparing to defend his WBC heavyweight title against kickboxing star Rico Verhoeven at the Pyramids of Giza this weekend.

For now, the heavyweight division is focused on Daniel Dubois, Fabio Wardley and a potential rematch that could shape the next title picture.

Daniel Levy once stopped Danish coach Morten Olsen from making Tottenham Hotspur Manager, because he did not want a Dane or Dutch coach at that time.

Xtra Bladet Report Comments Today from Frank Arnesen about 2004 sliding doors.

tottenham interest

The newspaper notes that Morten Olsen was a hot name in European football at the time, having led Denmark to the World Cup in 2002 and then the European Championship in 2004.

Both teams earned praise for their performances in those tournaments and as a result, Tottenham’s sporting director Frank Arneson was keen on Olsen.

But, as he has now revealed in his book ‘Total Football’, he found Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy opposed to the idea.

“When I joined the club in the summer, Tottenham needed a new head coach. I wanted Morten Olsen, but I was not allowed to take a coach from Denmark or the Netherlands.” He said.

“It was a necessity. If things had not gone well in the first three or four months, I would have come under additional pressure because I had chosen a coach from the country I was associated with, Daniel Levy thought. There was no reason to take any risks.”

Olsen confirms Tottenham’s interest

Morten Olsen is also happy to confirm that story. He admitted that Tottenham had been in touch on several occasions during his playing career and as manager. However, he does not remember when and how he came.

“They wanted to take me with them sometime when I was playing. Instead I went to Cologne,” He said.

He is also adamant that if a concrete stance had been taken, he would have rejected it anyway. He was heavily focused on his work with Denmark at that time.

“Now the work is such that if your team performs well, if your performance is good then you are noticed.” He added.

“So of course it’s nice to hear when others show interest. But if the offer had come, I wouldn’t have accepted it. The offer would have come in the middle of the contract. And I didn’t want to leave in the middle of the contract period.”

週六晚上，扎克·切利 (Zak Chelli) 在法比奧·沃德利 (Fabio Wardley) 對陣丹尼爾·杜布瓦 (Daniel Dubois) 的比賽中打出了拳擊史上最大的冷門之一。

很少有人給這位來自富勒姆的學校老師擊敗古巴狡猾的大衛莫雷爾的哪怕一絲希望。

丹尼尔·科米尔 (Daniel Cormier) 在迈阿密 UFC 327 上看到亚伦·皮科 (Aaron Pico) 的表现给他留下了深刻的印象。去年八月，皮科在 UFC 首秀中对阵莱罗内·墨菲，从年度淘汰赛有力竞争者中恢复过来后，科米尔表示，周六对阵帕特里西奥·弗雷雷的表现是他一直在等待看到的皮科版本，并因此向羽量级其他选手发出了警告。

皮科在卡塞亚中心举行的羽量级比赛中以一致判定击败了前多届 Bellator 冠军，在与“Pitbull”的 15 分钟比赛中，皮科击中了 100 次打击，并完成了 6 次击倒。这是皮科自 2024 年 2 月以来在 PFL 旗帜下取得的首场胜利，也是他第二次参加 UFC 比赛时的出色表现。 Cormier 在他的 YouTube 频道上谈到了此次胜利，明确表示该显示屏符合他自己为 Pico 设定的标准。

“亚伦·皮科看起来是他一生中最好的，”科米尔说。 “他很快。他很快，我们都知道他是这样。他使用摔跤而且很有耐心——这可能是最令人印象深刻的事情。我会告诉你这一点：如果出现在 UFC 327 的亚伦·皮科一直这样战斗，他对莫夫萨尔·埃夫洛耶夫来说是一个问题，对亚历山大·沃尔卡诺夫斯基、迭戈·洛佩斯和其他所有人来说都是一个问题。

他的技能非常齐全。如果他能正确地战斗，他对每个人来说都是一个真正的问题。向 Aaron Pico 和他的整个团队致敬，他们制定了一个有效且运作良好的游戏计划。我认为今晚是亚伦·皮科发挥自己潜力的真实例子。”

科米尔所强调的耐心对于一位历史上与爆炸性、高风险的交流有关的战士来说尤其值得注意。在对阵弗雷雷的比赛中，皮科展示了更完整、更有纪律的自己，他利用摔跤来控制比赛，并选择自己的脚位，而不是仅仅依靠自己的身体天赋。

Daniel Cormier was impressed by what he saw of Aaron Pico at UFC 327 in Miami. Following Pico’s turnaround from Knockout of the Year contender in his UFC debut against Leron Murphy last August, Cormier said Saturday’s performance against Patricio Freire was the version of Pico he was always waiting to see – and issued a warning to the rest of the featherweight division as a result.

Pico defeated the former multi-time Bellator champion by unanimous decision in their featherweight matchup at the Kasia Center, landing 100 strikes and scoring six takedowns in 15 minutes of action against “Pitbull”. It was Pico’s first win under the PFL banner since February 2024 and a stellar performance in only his second UFC appearance. Cormier addressed the win on his YouTube channel, clarifying that the performance met the standard he had set in his mind for Pico.

“Aaron Pico looked as good as he ever did in his entire life,” Cormier said. “He was fast. He was fast, as we all know he is. He wrestled and he was patient – ​​that was probably the most impressive thing. I’ll tell you this: If Aaron Pico, who appeared at UFC 327, fights like this all the time, he’s a problem for Movser Evloev, he’s a problem for Alexander Volkanovski, Diego Lopes and everybody else.

His skill set is very complete. If he can fight correctly, he is a real problem for everyone. Hats off to Aaron Pico and his entire team for coming up with a game plan that worked, and worked beautifully. I thought tonight was a true example of what Aaron Pico can become whenever he fights to his potential.

The patience that Cormier highlighted is especially notable for a fighter historically associated with explosive, high-risk exchanges. Against Freire, Pico displayed a more complete and disciplined version of himself, using his wrestling to control the fight and choosing his spots on the feet rather than relying solely on his physical gifts.

Leeds United intend to bring in Larghi Ramazani from Daniel Farke next season.

The Belgian joined the Premier League side from UD Almería in August 2024 for around €8m.

At the time, Leeds United were in the Championship and the player scored seven goals and two assists in 31 matches in his first season.

The Whites achieved promotion to the top flight but Ramazani did not stay at Elland Road. Instead, the English club let him join Valencia on a season-long loan deal in August 2025.

He struggled initially and suffered an injury in October that kept him out of action until December. Following this, the attacker waited until February to make his first La Liga start for Los Chayes.

This came after scoring a late winner against Espanyol in January. Since his debut, Carlos Corberán has regularly used the Leeds United-owned player.

He has five goals and two assists in 22 matches for the Spanish club and his statistics per game in La Liga are as follows.

• Expected target: 4.83
• Expected Support: 1.52
• Big chances made: 2
• Main pass: 0.7
• Shots on target: 0.7
• Goal conversion: 17%

Earlier this month, Sport Witness broadcast news Ramazani is an attractive option for Valencia next season. On March 12, He refused To discuss his future plans beyond this season.

leeds united in control

Mark There is a report on Valencia and the English club’s plans for Larji Ramadani’s future.

His performances so far have convinced Los Chase to keep him, but it won’t be easy as there is no purchase option.

The lack of a purchase clause puts the La Liga side’s chances of retaining the player in ‘jeopardy’.

Leeds United had previously bypassed him and approved a loan move, but have now been impressed by his performances for Valencia.

Therefore, his ‘primary objective’ is to become a key player for them in the Premier League next season. They are 15th in the table, four points above the relegation zone.

At the same time, summer sales are not ruled out. Marca say that Leeds United would consider selling him if a good offer was received.

Valencia unlikely to retain Ramazani

There is no mention of what the Elland Road club considers a good proposal. However, it is likely that Valencia will not be able to match it. The Spanish club’s financial issues over the past decade have dragged them below the level they should be at.

The other option is that Leeds United would have to approve another loan move to Valencia in the summer. This would be perfect for a loss chase but seems unlikely at this stage.

Larji Ramazani’s contract with the Whites runs until 2028, and transfer market He is worth €8 million. That estimated value has increased by €2 million since his loan move to Mestalla.

At the age of 25, Ramazani still has plenty of time to break into the Premier League with Leeds United.

The Dallas Mavericks are unable to catch any breaks this season as their troubles continue. On Monday, Daniel Gafford was forced to miss their game against the Golden State Warriors with a shoulder injury.

Gafford was playing great before being sent off late in the fourth quarter at American Airlines Center. The Mavericks announced that he would not return for the remainder of the game.

He finished with 20 points on a perfect 8-of-8 shooting. He also had seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block.

The Mavericks ultimately lost to the Warriors 137–131 in overtime.

Gafford has already missed more than 20 games this season due to various injuries. Entering the game against Golden State, he was averaging 9.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.2 blocks.

Dallas is already in fifth place, with Derek Lively II out for the season with a foot injury. The team acquired Marvin Bagley III at the trade deadline, but he is not a natural center. If Gafford sits out for an extended period of time, Dwight Powell could get extended minutes.

Cooper Flagg had a game-high 32 points on 12-of-19 shooting in the losing effort. He had four rebounds, nine assists and two steals, although he also had seven turnovers.

Bagley and PJ Washington combined for 18 points, three rebounds, five assists and three steals.

The Mavericks dropped their fourth consecutive assignment and lost 23–49. Meanwhile, the Warriors snapped their three-game losing streak and improved to 34–38.

Things won’t get easier for Dallas as they face the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday.

The Dallas Mavericks had a big win against the Cleveland Cavaliers in their first game in a row, and it’s almost like they controlled the game from start to finish. They will now face off against the New Orleans Pelicans, who have found new life following the return of Dejounte Murray, but like the Mavericks, are still near the bottom of the Western Conference.

Before the game, there were reports of some Mavericks players being injured. Klay Thompson is listed as questionable due to rest, and Daniel Gafford is doubtful with an illness.

Thompson missed two games last week due to rest, and it’s clear they want to give him as much time as possible to feel right to come back. In the same breath, the Mavericks will be playing tanking games, giving youngsters a chance to take some of those minutes.

As for Gafford, he has missed the last two games for the Mavericks and looks like he is on the verge of missing his third game in a row. With Gafford out, PJ Washington has taken over the center role, and he has done a good job in the role. Against the Cavs, he finished with 20 points, 11 rebounds and five steals.

It doesn’t seem like the Mavericks are trying to make this season completely pointless, and the goal seems to be to build good habits. They’re doing so while also being able to watch the development of young players like Cooper Flagg.

The Mavericks were able to hold down the No. 1 spot last season, and depending on where they finish at the end of the season, they have a good chance to do so again.

The matchup against the Pelicans will mean a lot to both teams, as they are right next to each other in the West standings.

The NFL’s free agency frenzy is barely a week old and Yahoo Sports insider Caroline Fenton already has a team she believes is going to look really, really bad in about 24 months.

Fenton joined the Sportsknot Interview Podcast this week and he wasted no time getting involved. The Raiders, the Colts, DJ Moore in Buffalo – he had it all under his belt. Some of them may surprise you.

The Raiders Aggression, Max Crosby Trade Fiasco

Start with the Max Crosby mess. Everyone saw the Ravens back out of that trade when the market for Trey Hendrickson softened. Fenton noticed something most people didn’t notice: the specific words used by Las Vegas when it announced it was parting ways.

“They didn’t say Max Crosby failed a physical,” he said. “They said the Ravens backed out of the trade. I thought that was telling.”

His theory? Baltimore went into free agency assuming it would cost them Myles Garrett money for Hendrickson – in the neighborhood of $40 million per year. too rich. So he turned to the Crosby trade. Then Hendrickson just…sat there. And the price fell. Suddenly Eric DeCosta is doing the math in his head and realizing he can get a comparable pass rusher and retain both first-round picks.

“This is shady business,” Fenton said. “But let’s not act like this is the first questionable business that’s been done in the National Football League.”

She thinks both teams had a good finish. Specifically for the Raiders, Crosby staying puts a proven veteran next to a quarterback who has never taken an NFL snap. That matters. So is the signing of Tyler Linderbaum, which he said is exactly what a rebuilding team with a young QB should do.

“Bad franchises fail young quarterbacks far more than bad organizations do,” Fenton said.

What are the Indianapolis Colts doing?

This brings us to Indianapolis, which apparently didn’t get that memo.

The Colts re-signed Alec Pierce to the largest free-agent receiver contract in NFL history. They guaranteed Daniel Jones $50 million. Fenton is not affected by any moves as part of the NFL free agency frenzy.

He said, “Just because you pay a guy like he’s elite, doesn’t make him elite.” Specifically on Jones, he reiterated that an Achilles injury after a good half-season does not rewrite four years of bad football in New York. “This is not a $50 million changed perspective.”

Chris Ballard’s seat should be warm, he said. Under his watch, the AFC South has been won multiple times by the Texans, Titans and Jaguars. Still waiting for Indy.

In other NFL free agency moves, Fenton liked the signing of DJ Moore and said it would have a big impact on Buffalo and Trent McDuffie in LA, which angered him. She went to Moore without hesitation, and the reason was less about Moore himself and more about the Bills’ offensive coordinator, Joe Brady.

“I like what Joe Brady does with receivers,” Fenton said. He covered his 2019 LSU offense and even talked to Justin Jefferson about it at the Super Bowl, Fenton said. The short version: Brady unlocks the passing game in ways that don’t show up on the depth chart.

Moore is not elite. Fenton said this clearly. But he’s an upgrade, he fits the scheme, and he’s paired with Josh Allen, who he calls “Superman,” the extent of that offense becomes even greater.

The second-round pick had to give up a lot. He accepted this. Then, they moved forward immediately. You are in a window. spend.

达拉斯小牛队中锋丹尼尔·加福德最近在球队以 124-105 输给孟菲斯灰熊队的比赛中伤愈复出。加福德整个赛季都在处理持续的脚踝伤病，缺席了几场比赛。重返小牛队后，他出战20分钟，得到14分和5个篮板。

这场表现展示了加福德在前场的天赋，这导致人们越来越多地猜测他在交易截止日期期间能否上场。加福德是否留在小牛队（最近在休赛期获得了一份为期三年、价值 5400 万美元的续约合同）还有待观察。他谈到了伤病给他带来的精神损失。

“当我试图找出解决问题的方法时，大脑会有点磨损。当然会有痛苦，但是，就像我说的，我们夜以继日地找到了一份工作。而且，只是试图解决这个问题……我想说，从长远来看，这会对我有所帮助，因为现在这有点像我第一次处理像整个赛季都持续很长时间的伤病一样。”

加福德补充道，“所以我正在学习很多东西，你知道，更多地照顾我的身体，始终努力寻找方法为即将到来的下一场比赛做好准备。”

尽管库珀·弗拉格在新秀赛季表现出色，小牛队的战绩仍为 21 胜 38 负。他们是西部联盟的第12号种子，距离入围赛席位还有两个位置。最近，小牛队做出了重大举措，将德安吉洛·拉塞尔和安东尼·戴维斯交易到华盛顿奇才队，这可以表明该组织围绕他们的新球星进行了重组。

27 岁的加福德将这个未来考虑在内。目前他场均贡献8.2分和6.4个篮板，投篮命中率为63.2%。他可以留在达拉斯作为中锋位置的稳定选择，或者他的可交易合同可以转移以增加弗拉格周围球队的深度。但加福德的上场无疑会增加小牛队的获胜效率。

The Minnesota Timberwolves picked up a 122-111 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night. It was a strong performance from Anthony Edwards, as he looked to be in great form after the All-Star break. However, immediately after the win, Edwards revealed that he missed the chance to dunk Daniel Gafford.

During an interview after the game, the 24-year-old shooting guard claimed that he felt fresh and seemed happy with his performance. But he admitted he should have dunked on Gafford. Edwards also sent a message to the Mavericks center.

“I should have dunked on Gafford,” Edwards said. “I hope you see it. I should have punched your ass, but I saved you.”

Anthony Edwards led the way for the Timberwolves with 40 points, six rebounds and one assist. He accomplished that statline while shooting 53.3% from the floor and 38.4% from beyond the three-point line. The four-time All-Star looks as good as ever and is ready to lead Minnesota in the final stretch of the regular season.

Edwards may be having the best season of his career so far. Through 47 games played, the six-year veteran is averaging 29.5 points (career-high), 5.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, while shooting 49.4% field goal percentage (career-high) and 40.1% three-point percentage (career-high).

It appears the Timberwolves are getting hot at the right time. With the club sitting in sixth place in the Western Conference, Minnesota is 7-3 in their last 10 games and is currently on a three-game winning streak. We’ll see Anthony Edwards and his teammates in action again on Sunday when they take on the Philadelphia 76ers at home.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have a way of making Target Center feel like a highlight factory, and Friday night was no exception. While the Timberwolves were recently sitting comfortably in the Western Conference playoff race, Nazi Reed decided to provide a moment that will be played on loop for the rest of the season.

With less than two minutes left in the first quarter and Minnesota already having a 10-point cushion, the sixth man of the year took matters into his own hands.

Reed caught a pass at half-court and took off on a one-man fastbreak. Most big men will look for the trailing guard or decide to drop to safety, but Reed is not most big men. He took a smooth “around the world” step to get past a retreating defender, picked up his pace and took off.

Naz Reed. Hey mom‼️

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford attempted to meet him at the summit, but he quickly realized he was on the wrong side of things. Reed hit a powerful poster dunk at home that literally sent the Minneapolis crowd into a frenzy. It wasn’t just a dunk; It was a statement.

Reed scored 6 points on 3-of-5 shooting, while also grabbing three rebounds and one assist. His energy off the bench led to a massive run that the Mavericks couldn’t answer. Minnesota is shooting a collective 46% from the field, overwhelming a Dallas team that is struggling to find its rhythm without rookie star Cooper Flagg.

Anthony Edwards led the Wolves with a game-high 20 points, while Rudy Gobert had 12 points and 11 rebounds. On the other hand, Khris Middleton is trying to keep the Mavericks afloat with 12 points.

If you weren’t a believer in the “Naz Reed” hype before, this poster on Gafford should officially convert you.

印第安納波利斯小馬隊即將進入 2026 年休賽期，他們的明確目標是留住四分衛丹尼爾·瓊斯，儘管他因跟腱嚴重受傷而縮短了 2025 年 MVP 賽季的表現。湯姆·佩利塞羅表示，該組織打算啟動關於多年續約的討論，儘管特許經營標籤仍然是確保他留在印第安納波利斯的可行的次要選擇。

瓊斯在健康狀況惡化之前帶領球隊取得了8勝2負的開局，據報導他渴望留在球隊。

小馬隊目前的薪金空間約為 3560 萬美元，並且預計 2027 年的薪金空間將顯著增加，因此小馬隊擁有足夠的財務靈活性來長期簽下瓊斯，儘管他們因索斯·加德納 (Sauce Gardner) 的高調交易而面臨首輪選秀權的缺乏。

然而，跟腱撕裂的恢復時間表對即將到來的賽季開始構成了重大障礙。

據 ESPN 報導，假設小馬隊簽下丹尼爾·瓊斯，他們仍可能在市場上尋找一位老將來代替萊利·倫納德，而瓊斯逐漸恢復健康。

該報告表明，該團隊非常適合像馬庫斯·馬里奧塔或喬·弗拉科這樣經驗豐富的信號呼叫者，作為可靠的橋樑。

如果沒有與瓊斯達成協議，小馬隊將發現自己擁有聯盟中最大量的四分衛需求，儘管內部人士認為雙方都致力於合作。

為了進一步增強這些舉措的財務狀況，小馬隊正在評估幾名被裁掉的候選人。

雖然球隊以 7 勝 1 負的開局慘敗，錯過了 2025 年季后賽，但總經理克里斯巴拉德現在必須就老將做出艱難的決定，以創造深度。

受到密切關注的主要球員包括外接手邁克爾·皮特曼（Michael Pittman Jr.）和阿什頓·杜林（Ashton Dulin），前者的未來取決於他是否願意簽署長期合同，後者的釋放可能會促進接球隊的必要重組。

此外，儘管 2024 年賽季完成了 173 次搶斷，但由於管理層優先保留喬納森·泰勒和昆頓·尼爾森等基礎明星，線衛扎伊爾·富蘭克林被認為是潛在的工資犧牲品。

對於小馬隊來說，下個賽季會是更好的賽季嗎？

丹尼爾·杜布瓦 (Daniel Dubois) 正在為重返拳台做準備，距離慘敗於亞歷山大·烏西克 (Oleksandr Usyk) 已經過去五個月了。

7月份，“Triple D”的IBF重量級冠軍頭銜被烏西克奪走，因為他在烏克蘭人手中第二次止步失敗。

這次挫折促使他對幕後人員進行了徹底改革。

首席教練唐·查爾斯和他的助理基蘭·法雷爾被托尼·西姆斯取代，而薩姆·瓊斯則被任命為顧問。

經過長時間的反思後，杜波依斯與查爾斯重聚，現在正為下一場比賽進行談判。

瓊斯告訴 BoxingScene：“我們已經進行了談判，試圖讓張芷蕾對陣丹尼爾·杜波依斯，弗蘭克·沃倫已經強調了這一點，所以我們正在積極努力實現這一目標。”

“我們現在正與弗蘭克·沃倫一起積極努力讓丹尼爾盡快重返擂台。

“他已經準備好了，他回到了健身房，他迫不及待地想出發。他現在已經準備好戰鬥了。”

瓊斯接著證實，他們的目標是四月份在倫敦約會——張和杜波依斯在這座城市度過了職業生涯最美好的夜晚。

杜布瓦在溫布利球場的倒數第二場比賽中用五回合擊敗了安東尼·約書亞，而張在 2023 年在銅盒和溫布利競技場兩次阻止了喬·喬伊斯，當時“主宰”看起來就像一個不可移動的物體。

達拉斯牛仔隊在 2026 年 NFL 選秀中擁有兩個首輪選秀權，這使他們處於一個有利的位置，可以為迫切需要幫助的防守做出重大補充。隨著頂級專家開始發布模擬選秀，人們對達拉斯可以做什麼有了新的見解。

NFL.com 的 Daniel Jeremiah 在他的第一次 2026 年 NFL 休賽期模擬選秀中讓牛仔隊在第 12 順位選中了角衛科爾頓·胡德 (Colton Hood)。在邁卡·帕森斯交易中從綠灣包裝工隊獲得的首輪選秀權中，他給了達拉斯衝鋒凱爾德里克·福克。

相關：超級碗之前的 NFL 實力排名，每支球隊的 2026 年 NFL 選秀目標

值得注意的是，耶利米的分析中寫道，他預計牛仔隊將在第一輪選秀中使用一名衝鋒者。然而，由於角衛預計將在 2026 年 NFL 選秀初期脫穎而出，並且衝傳手的深度，他優先考慮對達拉斯中學進行升級。

胡德身高 6 英尺，上個賽季入選了 SEC 最佳陣容第二隊。他在科羅拉多州度過了大二賽季，然後在上個賽季之前轉會到田納西州志願者隊。當傑莫德·麥考伊因前交叉韌帶撕裂缺席一整年時，胡德挺身而出，成為美國證券交易委員會最好的角衛之一。他在大三結束時有 8 次傳球偏轉、4.5 次鏟球失敗和 1 次攔截。

正如耶利米指出的那樣，胡德可以成為達拉斯隊外線的即插即用首發球員。他展現出了在防守球員時與 NFL 級別的接球手保持一致的運動能力，並且他擁有的本能可以使他在巔峰時期成為一名全面、高於平均水平的先發球員。

耶利米隨後讓達拉斯在第 20 順位選擇了奧本的頂級衝鋒手。身高 6 英尺 6 英寸的福克已經展現出成為一名三下鋒防守者的能力，並具有高於平均水平的運動能力。對於牛仔隊的教練組來說，他可能是一個發展項目，但他的上限比其他一些衝鋒者要高。

在第一輪中選擇胡德或另一名角衛的另一個好處是，他們可以由牛仔隊防守協調員克里斯蒂安·帕克（Christian Parker）指導。在丹佛野馬隊和費城老鷹隊的比賽中，他證明了對帕特里克·蘇爾坦二世、奎因揚·米切爾和庫珀·德讓的發展發揮了重要作用。

在斷絕關係五個月後，丹尼爾·杜布瓦 (Daniel Dubois) 又讓唐·查爾斯 (Don Charles) 重新成為他的教練。

去年八月，兩人在兩年卓有成效的合作之後分道揚鑣，杜波依斯奪得了 IBF 重量級拳王頭銜。

這一決定是在杜波依斯第二次被亞歷山大·烏西克擊敗後做出的。

“Triple D”隨後與康納·本恩的主教練托尼·西姆斯聯繫，但在過渡期間與查爾斯重聚，沒有發生戰鬥。

週一下午，杜波依斯業務經理 Riz Khan 發表聲明證實了這一消息。

上面寫著： “我謹代表杜波依斯隊向媒體和所有相關方確認，丹尼爾已決定恢復與唐·查爾斯及其教練團隊的職業關係。

“唐·查爾斯和他的團隊帶領丹尼爾取得了世界冠軍的地位，並見證了他職業生涯中最成功的時期。

“在輸給亞歷山大·烏西克之後，丹尼爾花時間反思了他的旅程以及與唐分道揚鑣的決定所帶來的情緒。

“經過仔細考慮並與更廣泛的團隊討論後，丹尼爾選擇推翻這一決定。

“丹尼爾現在將重新與唐·查爾斯一起工作，在他的幫助下，丹尼爾取得了迄今為止最偉大的成就。

週日晚上，芝加哥熊隊在 NFC 季后賽分區輪中加時不敵洛杉磯公羊隊，為 2025 賽季畫上句號。熊隊憑藉凱萊布·威廉姆斯在比賽最後幾秒給科爾·克梅特的神奇傳球，將比賽拖入加時賽，但不幸的是，他們未能在加時賽中完成比賽。

一個重要原因是威廉姆斯在加時賽中的一次關鍵攔截，當時他和外接手DJ摩爾似乎溝通不暢。

賽后，前熊隊四分衛蔡斯·丹尼爾在 Instagram 上詳細分析了這場比賽，並解釋了為什麼他認為威廉姆斯對失誤沒有過錯。

“你不能因為加時賽中的INT而責怪凱萊布·威廉姆斯……熊隊打出了絕對完美的表現，”丹尼爾在視頻標題中寫道。 “DJ Moore 缺乏努力確實很能說明問題……你不能像這樣放棄這條路線。”

事實上，許多熊隊球迷對摩爾在比賽中的表現感到沮喪，特別是考慮到他在整個賽季的幾個關鍵時刻為芝加哥隊做出瞭如此大的貢獻，包括上週在外卡回合中主場戰勝綠灣包裝工隊的比賽。

總的來說，週日輸給公羊隊對於熊隊球迷來說是一顆難以吞下的苦果，結束了一個神奇的賽季，其中有幾次奇蹟般的逆轉和狂野的結束。這種贏得勢均力敵的比賽的傾向是否會延續到下賽季還有待觀察，正如華盛頓指揮官今年發現的那樣，這當然不能保證。

儘管如此，隨著威廉姆斯和主教練本·約翰遜在更衣室裡，熊隊似乎確實擁有了在接下來的幾個賽季中打造一些特別的東西的框架。

達拉斯小牛隊看著庫珀·弗拉格痛苦地抓住腳踝，最終在對陣丹佛掘金隊的比賽中退出。丹尼爾·加福德（Daniel Gafford）很快也患上了類似的疾病。

據 ClutchPoints 的 Brett Siegel 報導，加福德右腳踝扭傷。他和弗拉格一樣，整個晚上都沒有回來。儘管狀元秀瓊·弗拉格傷到了加福德的另一側腳踝。

中鋒加福德在 18 分鐘內僅得到 6 分。在 NBA 受傷之前，他已經搶下 10 個籃板。

小牛隊與掘金隊的比賽很艱難

弗拉格在美航球館的地板上呆了 15 分鐘。

但他最終僅得到六分。弗拉格還送出了一次助攻並撲滅了一次射門。

與此同時，加福德在 10 分 36 秒處上籃得分，早早得分。布蘭登·威廉姆斯罰球命中，達拉斯隊以 10-7 領先。克萊·湯普森隨後投進一記 24 英尺三分球，將比分改寫為 13-10。

但這成為達拉斯隊在第一節最後一次領先。掘金隊的賈馬爾·穆雷拿下 7 分，幫助掘金隊以 29-23 領先結束第一節。

掘金第二節一度領先18分，最終以63-46領先進入半場。第三節穆雷突破防守再次上籃，將比分改寫為81-59。小蒂姆·哈達威 (Tim Hardaway Jr.) 在第三節末投進一記 24 英尺三分球，幫助掘金隊以 84-61 領先。

不過，達拉斯隊繼續縮小比分，在第四節還剩不到 1 分 40 秒時將領先優勢縮小到 8 分。
