Guardians continue to roll. Jose Ramirez homered on his 30th birthday. Shane Bieber pitched an impressive game striking out six batters and allowing one run through eight innings. Guardians win 5-1 over the Minnesota Twins. They have a 4 1/2 lead in first place in the AL Central division.
GGG and Canelo Alvarez fought for the third and probably final time against one another. In the early rounds, both fighters got off to a slow start. Canelo was the more aggressive fighter. GGG looked like his age for most of the fight. However, he had outstanding rounds in Rounds 8-10. The fact that a prime Canelo couldn’t knock out a 40-year-old GGG tells you a lot about GGG’s greatness and strong chin. GGG needed to knock out Canelo to win this fight. Canelo won the third fight fair and square, but in my eyes, GGG won the first two fights. Father Time is undefeated, and I feel that was one of the most significant factors in the third fight.
Notre Dame earned their first win of the season by defeating California. The Fighting Irish rise above the occasion and performed outstanding. Defense played a huge role in the 4th quarter.
