Five years ago this Tuesday on November 27, 2007, bruising Washington Redskins free safety Sean Taylor succumbed to a gunshot wound that penetrated his femoral artery during a botched burglary inside his lavish home in Palmetto Bay, Florida.

American Adrien Broner badly battered Antonio DeMarco until the tough Mexican’s corner mercifully halted the beating at 1:49 of the eighth round to allow “The Problem” to capture the WBC lightweight championship last night at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Broner (25-0, 21 KOs), often compared to “Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather due to dominating roughly 300 amateur pugilists, so thoroughly punished the 26-year-old DeMarco (28-3-1, 21 KOs) that many fans in attendance were reportedly cringing as the mismatch unfolded in the “World’s Favorite Playground.” “I’m proud of DeMarco for fighting the way he fought,” DeMarco’s promoter, Gary Shaw … Continue reading
