Powcast Basketball Daily: Ginebra Roars Back as LeBron Debuts and Sengun Rules Macao

Barangay Ginebra rediscovered its attack, while LeBron James logged his first Philadelphia minutes and the NBA preseason produced several notable performances. Alperen Sengun owned the Macao spotlight, and Manila Clasico now waits on Sunday. 1. Abarrientos and Murphy power Ginebra past Rain or Shine Barangay Ginebra snapped its slide with a 129 to 111 win over Rain or Shine at Ynares Center in Antipolo. RJ Abarrientos scored 34 points with nine assists, drilling six three pointers and three four point shots, while new import Nick Murphy supplied 30 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists and four blocks without a turnover.

The Moment Has Arrived: Carl Jammes Martin vs. David Picasso Official for Canelo vs. Mbilli Undercard in Saudi Arabia

Photo courtesy of Carl Jammes Martin On social media, undefeated Ifugao boxer Carl Jammes Martin has been giving fans hints that a major fight was coming. While many were hoping it would finally be a big opportunity, only a few truly expected something of this magnitude, especially since Martin has yet to consistently compete in what many would consider high-profile fights. “Mangarap para sa Pamilya at Bayan, lumaban nang buong Puso, at dalhin ang bandila ng Pilipinas tungo sa tagumpay. 🇵🇭 Mabuhay tayong lahat! Hagiyo!”- Carl Jammes Martin on Facebook Martin travelled to the United States months ago to train after Sean Gibbons and his camp agreed to continue working together. Still undefeated with 28 wins and only 27 years old, Martin has long been asking for bigger fights because he believes he is ready for the next level. He has even mentioned Naoya Inoue, “The Monster,” saying he felt ready enough to deserve that kind of opportunity and genuinely believed he could win. Now, Martin... ... See more

BoxRec Refuses to Record Tapales, Laurente and Thailand Pro Boxing Fights; Sean Gibbons Calls for Investigation

Wondering why the recent fights of two-division unified world champion Marlon Tapales and boxing prospect and IBF Pan Pacific Lightweight champion Criztian Pitt Laurente have yet to appear on BoxRec, the internationally recognized boxing record database, even though the fights took place about two weeks ago? You might assume it is simply because hundreds of fights take place around the world and there is a delay in updating the records. However, a recent post from Sean Gibbons on X, president of MP Promotions, international matchmaker, and known supporter of Philippine boxing, as well as a post shared by JC Manangquil Manager of the boxers on Facebook, suggests there may be more to the story. Sean Gibbons Wants BoxRec Investigated The outspoken Gibbons did not hold back in expressing his opinion, calling out the well-known boxing record database over how it has handled the situation. He even went as far as posting photos of people associated with BoxRec and accusing the organization of... ... See more

Manny Pacquiao and Polish President Karol Nawrocki MANILA, Philippines — Eight-division boxing world champion Manny Pacquiao welcomed an unlikely training partner as Polish President Karol Nawrocki stepped into the ring at Elorde Gym in Parañaque during his state visit to the Philippines.

Nawrocki, a longtime boxing enthusiast and admirer of Pacquiao, participated in training activities, exchanged boxing techniques and watched sparring sessions featuring reigning champions.

Powcast Basketball Daily: NLEX Makes History as Warriors Rout Lakers and Oftana Powers TNT

NLEX has rewritten the PBA record book with a 60 point victory, while Golden State made quick work of a depleted Lakers lineup. Calvin Oftana also returned with 31 points for TNT, and Philadelphia is already reconsidering its frontcourt options. 1. NLEX Sets PBA Record and Clinches Quarterfinal Place NLEX secured a Governors’ Cup quarterfinal berth in historic fashion, crushing Macau 138 to 78 at Ninoy Aquino Stadium for the largest winning margin in PBA history. The Road Warriors led 38 to 23 after one quarter and 70 to 43 at halftime before stretching the final gap to 60 points. Javee Winston scored 25, new import Deonte Burton produced 22 in his debut, and Robert Bolick added 14 as NLEX improved to eight wins and two losses.

The result matters beyond the record because it guarantees NLEX a place in the next round and gives Jimmy Alapag an encour... ... See more

Powcast Boxing Daily: Garcia Calls for Real Mayweather Fight as Fury Joshua Timing Takes Shape

Ryan Garcia has responded to reports of talks with Floyd Mayweather by demanding a real professional fight, while Osleys Iglesias and Oliver Zaren are officially on weight for their title clash. Tyson Fury against Anthony Joshua also has a clearer proposed timetable, although several promotional and event details still require final approval. 1. Garcia Wants Mayweather’s Perfect Record at Risk Ryan Garcia says he is interested in facing Floyd Mayweather only if the contest is sanctioned as a professional fight, not an exhibition. His demand followed reports that discussions had begun between the two sides, but no contract, date, venue or agreed weight has been announced. Mayweather is 49 and has not competed in a professional bout since defeating Conor McGregor in 2017, although he has remained active in exhibitions. Garcia, who is 21 years younger, publicly said Mayweather’s unbeaten record should be at stake. That condition is important because it separates a sporting contest from... ... See more

Jaime Munguia’s reported plans for his next defense and Osleys Iglesias’s willingness to face a gym mate lead today’s boxing updates. Daniel Dubois is also looking toward Tyson Fury, while British fans await clarity on the timing of Fury against Anthony Joshua. 1. Munguia Reportedly Seeks Gonzalez Fight Before Mandatory Defense Jaime Munguia is reportedly trying to arrange a voluntary defense against Keiber Gonzalez before facing mandatory challenger Bektemir Melikuziev.
