Powcast Basketball Daily: Payton Pritchard Commits as Porzingis speaks as Warriors confirm an indefinite absence and more

Golden State erased a huge deficit against the Lakers, while NLEX and San Miguel delivered statement wins in the PBA. Boston also secured a key guard for the future, and the Warriors received a clearer but still uncertain update on Kristaps Porzingis. 1. Warriors erase 20 point deficit to beat Lakers in Las Vegas The Warriors turned a rough opening into a 101 to 89 preseason win over the Lakers at T Mobile Arena, erasing a 20 point deficit and punishing 30 Los Angeles turnovers. Yaxel Lendeborg led Golden State with 17 points, five rebounds and four assists, while Austin Reaves carried the Lakers with 28 points and seven assists. Walker Kessler made an encouraging Los Angeles debut with 11 points and nine rebounds in 16 minutes, but Luka Doncic was held out for rest. Warriors coach Steve Kerr told the San Francisco Chronicle that his team remained far from the execution level he wants after committing 20 turnovers. That concern fits Powcast's earlier look at the Lakers an... ... See more

Mayweather vs. Garcia Debate, Donaire Conqueror’s Rematch | Powcast Boxing Daily

Floyd Mayweather’s proposed fight with Ryan Garcia is drawing fresh scrutiny, while the Japanese contender who stopped Nonito Donaire has secured a significant rematch.  Fabio Wardley’s response to retirement speculation and Deontay Wilder’s unfinished negotiations also lead today’s boxing updates. 1. Mayweather vs. Ryan Garcia attracts attention, but remains unconfirmed Robert Garcia would favor Ryan Garcia over Floyd Mayweather today, citing the retired champion’s age and inactivity, but the respected trainer also doubts the proposed fight will happen. Speaking to ESNews in comments reported by Boxing News on October 14, Garcia distinguished Mayweather’s exceptional prime from his position at 49. The fresh development is the trainer’s assessment, rather than a newly signed agreement. For Filipino fans familiar with Mayweather’s rivalry with Manny Pacquiao, the names guarantee interest, but there is still no confirmed date or venue for Mayweather against Garcia. A public proposal ... ... See more

No Longer Invited: Macau "Saling Pusa"—I Mean Giant Pandas! But Why Is the PBA Also at Fault?

According to an article by SPIN.ph writer Gerry Ramos, PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial has indicated that the Macau Giant Pandas are unlikely to be invited back to the league. Before I continue with my editorial, let me give full credit to Ramos for the report. I've met him several times at different events, but he never seems interested in talking to me or even making eye contact. Snobbish? Maybe. Hmm, intriga! Anyway, back to the topic. It seems the commissioner has finally had enough after game after game of embarrassing performances by the Macau Giant Pandas, who might as well have been called the Macau Saling Pusa , because at times, they looked like juniors trying to compete in the big league. I've been to Macau, and it's a beautiful, highly competitive place. Its casinos and hotels are world-class, with some considered among the best in the world. But the basketball team they brought to the Philippines? Well, that's a completely different story. Team Macau in the... ... See more

Powcast Boxing Daily: Dy Dreams of Fundora as Haney Stevenson Hits a Money Hurdle

Rolando Dy has named a surprising dream opponent after retaining his bare knuckle title, but no offer is on the table. Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson have also encountered a fresh financial obstacle, while heavyweight fight week grows more intense. 1. Rolando Dy says a Fundora crossover is his dream Rolando Dy is open to returning to conventional boxing for a chance against WBC junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora, telling The Philippine Star that he would accept if a real offer arrived. This is an ambition, not an active negotiation, and the distinction matters because Fundora defends his title against unbeaten mandatory challenger Ermal Hadribeaj in Las Vegas on Saturday. Dy is coming off a successful defense of his BKB super welterweight championship, dropping Scott McHugh three times in the second round before the corner ended the fight 47 seconds into the third. The Filipino champion now stands at 7 wins and 1 loss in bare knuckle competition, with 6 knockouts.... ... See more

STOP BLAMING FASHION SHOWS FOR ALEX EALA'S DEFEATS! | Challenging lazy criticism

Alex Eala Every time Alex Eala loses, some fans are quick to blame her endorsements, fashion appearances, and activities outside tennis. Some even suggest she should choose between being a world-class athlete and a celebrity. But are we really going to blame a fashion show every time she loses a match? Let's be fair. I'm not a tennis expert, but from watching Alex play, I believe there are areas she still needs to improve, particularly her consistency, conditioning, and ability to sustain a high level of performance. These are legitimate concerns worth discussing. But blaming her off-court activities without evidence? That's unfair. Remember, Alex was ranked No. 140 when she defeated some of the world's best players at the 2025 Miami Open, including then World No. 2 Iga Świątek. If a lower-ranked Alex could beat the world's best, why do we act surprised when other players beat her? Being capable of beating the best doesn't mean you're already capable of doin... ... See more

Powcast Basketball Daily: RHJ Returns as Warriors Go Small and UAAP Acts

Rondae Hollis Jefferson is finally back for TNT as the Tropang 5G prepare for the PBA quarterfinals. Golden State is leaning toward a smaller opening lineup, while the UAAP has imposed a major disciplinary sanction. 1. Hollis Jefferson returns as TNT sharpens for the quarterfinals Rondae Hollis Jefferson has been activated by TNT and is set to return against the Macau Giant Pandas tonight at Ninoy Aquino Stadium, replacing temporary import Nick Hornsby on the roster. The three time PBA Best Import spent most of this year recovering from the Achilles injury he suffered last December while playing for Meralco in the East Asia Super League. TNT has already qualified for the quarterfinals at 6 wins and 4 losses, so the Macau game offers Hollis Jefferson a useful chance to rebuild timing before the elimination rounds become more demanding. Hornsby helped secure that position by producing 23 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals in Saturday's 116 to 98 victory over San Migue... ... See more

Powcast Boxing Daily: Canelo Stays the Course as Bivol Smith Becomes Official

Canelo Alvarez is still set for Riyadh despite grave security concerns, while Dmitry Bivol and Callum Smith finally have an official date. Floyd Schofield's next move and the heavyweight collision between Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley also demand attention. 1. Canelo tells Riyadh organizers he still plans to face Mbilli Canelo Alvarez versus Christian Mbilli remains scheduled for October 31 at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, even after deadly attacks in the Saudi capital raised understandable questions about the event. Turki Alalshikh said Canelo personally told him that he would come and fight, but the Mexican champion's representatives had not independently commented when the latest reports were published, so that assurance should be understood as the organizer's account rather than a separate team statement. The card is especially important to Filipino fans because Carl Jammes Martin is due to meet David Picasso on the undercard. Canelo will defend the WBC super middl... ... See more

Filipino fight fans woke up to a mixed set of results, with Rolando Dy defending his bare knuckle crown while Jayson Mama suffered an early defeat in the United States.

Rolando Dy survives a fierce start and keeps his BKB crown Rolando Dy remains the BKB super welterweight champion after stopping Scotland's Scott McHugh in the third round at the AO Arena in Manchester.
