Tennis GOAT Roger Federer said a heart wrenching goodbye to the sport earlier this week when he played his final match at the Laver Cup. Federer ended his career playing alongside his friend a longtime rival, Rafael Nadal. This season, Federer made the return back to the courts after a year and a half of injuries that have sidelined the legendary player. Though that is the case, Federer’s star power still drew in major crowds as they watched the duo lose 4-6, 7-6, 11-9 in a double match against Frances Tiafoe and Jack Sock. Despite the loss, the match was bigger than just the game itself, as it signified the official retirement of the forever tennis icon. Just last week, Federer made the announcement on his social media that he would retire following the Laver Cup. The Swiss legend left th...

It was an upset for another Japanese mixed martial artist as Floyd Mayweather showed once again that at 45 years of age he’s still got it. Announced back in June, the SUPER RIZIN fight saw Floyd Mayweather take on MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura in an exhibition boxing match in Japan’s Saitama Super Arena. While the first round looked competitive as Mikuru Asakura hunted for the body, landing a powerful body shot on Mayweather, his eagerness opened him up for a counter left followed by a powerful straight right that dropped him. The referee eventually called the fight and awarded Mayweather the KO victory — and Asakura’s first KO loss. Asakura was just too slow for Mayweather as he looked put Money Mayweather away with hard shots. Mayweather on the other hand, stuck to his signature style of pi...
