Ryan Garcia blasts relationship with Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions
Garcia sparked the conversation of riffs between the Mexican boxer and De La Hoya that dates back to 2019 and told Ring Magazine that he has sought to "be the bigger person and mend the relationship."
"He causes a division in people, and he doesn't know how to keep a good relationship. He likes to air people's business and do things that a promoter shouldn't. He's always been coming at me," Garcia said to Ring Magazine. "There's always riff-raff. I don't care that he posted the screenshot because I know my worth."
These comments come in the wake of Garcia's recent loss to Rolando Romero, who surprised the heavily favored Garcia with a unanimous decision victory after 12 rounds, marking one of the most unexpected upsets of 2025. However, rumors of a potential rematch between Romero and Garcia are in full swing, with talks already in advanced stages for a possible fight scheduled for December, according to DAZN.
'After the Romero fight, they gave me the worst offer you can ever imagine," Garcia told Ring Magazine. "And then Oscar tried to take my rematch with Rolly and give it to Raul Curiel. I've been trying to get the Rolly rematch, and now you want to give it to another fighter?"

Messi suffered ‘minor muscle injury' in right leg. Here is latest update
Lionel Messi sustained 'a minor muscle injury in his right leg' during Inter Miami's Leagues Cup penalty shootout win over Necaxa on Saturday, according to a club statement on Sunday night. He underwent medical exams to determine the extent of the injury and the timetable for his return is undetermined. 'His medical clearance will depend on his clinical progress and response to treatment,' said the press release. Messi fell to the ground and clutched his leg after being challenged by defenders Raul Sanchez and Alexi Pena at the 11-minute mark of the game. He stumbled, got up, tried to walk it off, but then sat down and sought medical attention. Messi was clearly dejected as he removed his captain's armband and headed to the tunnel. The 38-year-old Argentine star had been on a hot streak of late with a brace in six of seven matches. He scored 18 goals and had nine assists in 18 MLS games and played 90-plus minutes in 20 matches in a row, including four in the Club World Cup. He had two assists in Miami's 2-1 Leagues Cup opening win against Atlas last week and was named MLS Player of the Month. 'Obviously, we feel it when he is not on the field, he's the best player in the world,' said goalkeeper Rocco Rios Novo, who made a big save in the penalty shootout. 'We want to have him playing. But these are things that can happen to anyone. We have to carry on without him. No excuses.' Midfielder Fede Redondo added: 'He's our captain, our leader, and we hope he recovers as soon as possible.' Miami will face Mexican club Pumas on Wednesday at Chase Stadium in the third and final group stage match. The top four MLS teams and top four Liga MX teams advance to the quarterfinals. As of Sunday night, with 15 of 18 MLS teams having played two games, Miami sat in second place in the MLS side of the bracket with five points (one regulation win for three points, one penalty shootout win for two points). The Portland Timbers, led by former Inter Miami coach Phil Neville, were in first place with six points. Minnesota and Columbus were third and fourth with four points each.

Michael Bisping suggests Tatsuro Taira face former champ before UFC title shot
Michael Bisping thinks Tatsuro Taira will need another victory before he's undeniable for a UFC flyweight title shot. Taira (17-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) rebounded from his first career loss in a big way Saturday at UFC on ESPN 71 when he submitted short-notice replacement opponent HyunSung Park in the second round at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. After the fight, Taira told Bisping, who was in the commentary booth with Brendan Fitzgerald and Dominick Cruz, that he would like to fight for the belt against the winner of champ Alexandre Pantoja vs. Joshua Van. Bisping, however, thinks Taira needs to further elevate his resume with one more win, and a fight against a former 125-pound champion like Brandon Moreno (23-8-2 MMA, 11-4-2 UFC) would prove his spot. "He calls for a title fight. I get that, but I was like, 'You've got to have one more fight first,'" Bisping said on the UFC on ESPN 71 broadcast. "I'm not the matchmaker. I don't make those decisions, but that seems logical. It would seem he would have to have one more fight. Who should that fight be against? "I've got a choice: It is the former champion Brandon Moreno. Tell me you don't want to see that fight? That would show you the level of Tatsuro Taira and also allow Brandon Moreno to get back in the mix – not that he's not in the mix, of course. Moreno, 31, most recently competed in March when he earned a unanimous decision victory over Steve Erceg at UFC on ESPN 64. The Mexican has intentions of fighting for the belt in his own right, and extending his winning streak to three over Taira, 25, would be a statement for his own career, as well.

Review: In seductive ‘Pompeii,' pleasure masks impending doom
In a shadowy industrial venue, Detour Productions cofounder Eric Garcia took the stage wearing black sequined lederhosen and laid out ground rules for the immersive theater company's new show, 'Pompeii.' The third floor of the old brick and steel building on 9th Street now known as Storek was for the purposes of the evening, Garcia explained, now the Kit Kat Club. Beneath us was the mezzanine and the Fandango Ballroom, and beneath that, in the basement, was Fernando's Hideaway. We were free to roam these mysterious spaces for the next two and a half hours, but not to touch anyone 'unless there is a crystal-clear invitation.' In 'Pompeii,' which I saw Saturday, Aug. 2, and runs through Aug. 17, we find ourselves not in the buried Roman city, but in the world of choreographer and director Bob Fosse. His iconic style is felt everywhere — with its bump and grind, its slithering seduction, its fishnet garter stocking allure. Most of all, we are in the world of the musical 'Cabaret,' where patrons laugh and drink and carouse in seedy sanctuary as fascism bludgeons the windy real world. But Detour's show adds a prophetic metaphoric overlay, which Garcia announced just before drag performer Mudd the Two Spirit strutted on in lace-up platform heels and a rhinestone-studded codpiece as the Kit Kat Club's emcee. 'We have gathered at the mouth of the volcano,' Garcia said. 'The ground is already rumbling and crackling, which can only mean one thing. Something is coming apart. People don't always realize that things are coming apart. But you do.' Indeed. As I sat at a cocktail table before the show, a fellow patron chatted me up by asking what I thought of the Trump administration's attack on the arts, then told me his friends were talking of fleeing for Europe. A rather privileged response, I commented, before spitting a few epithets at the mention of tech bros and their priorities. Then the dancing and singing (well, lip-synching) began. 'Pompeii' is Detour's third site-specific production, and its largest — 21 performers of glorious physical diversity, ranging from statuesque Quinn Dixon clad in white chiffon as Angelique the angel of death, to the performer known as Glamputee rocking a fringed flapper dress and faux-belting 'When You're Good to Mama' before joining the ensemble on bejeweled crutches. (The artfully flesh-sculpting costumes are by repeat Detour collaborator Abdiel Portalatín Pérez.) Each performer has a distinct charisma, although pencil-mustachioed Melissa Lewis Wong was particularly magnetic in a scarlet-sequined pantsuit fit for Liberace, slinking through 'Pink Panther' inside a circle of red feathered fans, and serving up some impressive tap dance alongside Lisa Frankenstein's Lola in 'Too Darn Hot.' Most of the big ensemble numbers take place in the ballroom, where the action can be viewed from above or up-close, and that's where I spent most of the evening, admiring the fun that Garcia and contributing director Chuck Wilt must have had staging 'Caravan' and a can-can fit for the Moulin Rouge. But I was glad I returned to the top floor for 'Don't Rain on My Parade' as delivered by Beef Cakes, who must have some real ballet training — check out that line of tight chaîné turns. The verdict? 'Very entertaining,' proclaimed my pre-show chatter friend. Whether he quite meant to enhance the immersive irony of the evening, I could not tell. Neither of us said anything about the basement, its wall lined with silver mylar, where music designer re-mixed Kander and Ebb tunes in a low Satanic gurgle, and Anqelique dropped dollar bills that Syd Franz as the 'Chicago' lawyer Billy Flynn lapped up off the concrete floor. I didn't spend much time in that creepy basement, overwhelmed by the horror, I have to admit. What does that choice say about me? I'm not sure. But I do know Garcia is right: 'Choices have consequences.' At the end of 'Pompeii,' there's no rush of lava, no actual coating of ash. Just the choices we make after we leave the theater — and we better make sure they're ones we can live with as we die.
