On The Watch “It’s All About Alycia Baumgardner vs Bo Mi Re Shin”

Unified Super Featherweight Challenge

Last night’s MVP/ESPN Main Event between Unified IBF/WBA/WBO/Ring Magazine Super Featherweight Champion Alycia Baumgardner (18-1, 7 Kos) and tough and durable challenger Bo Mi Re Shin (19-4-3, 10 Kos) put up a hell of a shoot-out that had the attention of the fans in attendance at Madison Square Garden Theater, in New York City.

Alycia walked into this bout with the upmost confidence as expected but was met with a very willing combatant that brought the “HEAT” straight from round one. Bo Mi Re walked it like she talked it and went toe-to-toe with the champ throwing heavy shots but Alycia’s skill set was on full display as she proceeded to box and move and hammer out the more telling punches as the rounds progressed.

Alycia was sharper and more accurate than Bo Mi Re but that did not deter the challenger from keeping a heavy pace round by round. Bo Mi Re showed her durability but looked a little wild at times with her punches but didn’t stop from pressing the action.

Alycia had to regroup at times, but her power punches were definitely playing a big part in this bout. Bo Mi Re showed she’s definitely a tough out for any one of them girls in the division but Alycia’s technical skills were undeniably levels above Bo Mi Re who went of script at times throwing whatever she could to try and slow down the champ as the nonstop pressure zapped some energy from the Champ and prevented her from finishing the rounds strongly.

That being said, after 10 three-minute rounds of action the Judges at hand scored it 98-92, 99-91 and 99-91 unanimously for Alycia Baumgardner.

This was a tougher bout than expected for Alycia, but nevertheless, the Champ retained her Unified Super Featherweight IBF/WBA/WBO/Ring Magazine Titles.

Well done, Alycia.

On The Watch “It’s All About The NBA PLAYOFFS 2026”

NBA Playoffs 2026 (Sweet 16)

With another full 82-Game NBA Season now over and the NBA Play-In Tournament successfully completed, we are now officially ready for the NBA Playoffs 2026.

“King of The Court” and once again the No. 1 Seed in the entire league belongs to the Defending NBA Champions Oklahoma City Thunder (64-18) who have a better understanding of the task at hand this second go around. “Repeat Champions” is their only mission and with their full squad still intact, focussed and finally healthy, them Boys are ready to ball hard by any means necessary and stamp their names as Back-to-Back Champions.

The No. 2 Seeded San Antonio Spurs (62-20) have been impressive all season long and have made themselves a legitimate threat to the Oklahoma City Thunder and the entire league by the way they’ve been so dominant even while missing Victor Wembanyama for key games. Them boys have built themselves into a true championship contender squad that have all the right tools and weapons to make it to the final showdown.

The No. 3 Seeded Denver Nuggets (54-28) seem to be back on track and have been looking like a Championship team that’s locked and loaded for a competitive Playoff run. With a healthy Nikola Jokic running the show, things could get quite interesting.

The No. 4 Seeded Los Angeles Lakers (53-29) fought hard to maintain their spot in the standing, but are entering this Playoff run, at least for the time being, without two major contributors in Luka Doncic (33.5/7.7/8.3) and Austin Reaves (23.3/4.7/5.5) who are sidelined with injuries. With LeBron James as the only real threat on the floor, their championship aspiration is looking slimmer by the day.

The No. 5 Seeded Houston Rockets (52-30) are coming into this Playoff run hampered with injuries to key players as well but with the “Sniper” Kevin Durant still playing at a higher level them most and rocking with a well-balanced squad, them Boys could still play spoilers in the Playoffs.

The Minnesota Timberwolves No. 6 Seed (49-33), the Portland Trail Blazers (42-40) the No. 7 Seed and the Phoenix Suns (45-37) the No. 8 Seed all fought hard to secure their spots but may fall short in the pursuit of disrupting the hierarchy in this year’s Playoffs run.

This year the Detroit Pistons (60-22) took everybody by storm by holding onto their No. 1 Spot throughout the entire season in dominant fashion. Them Boys balled hard and showed the league they are the real deal and are destined to make it to the Finals and contest by any means necessary.

Fighting adversary and on their way back to reclaiming their rightful spot are the No. 2 Seeded the Boston Celtics (56-26). Coming from where they were at the beginning of the season to now looking like championship contenders with Jason Tatum back from injuries and Jaylen Brown balling like an MVP candidate, them Boys have the right nucleus to make it back to the NBA Finals.

The No. 3 Seeded New York Knicks (53-29) have worked hard through some rough ups and downs this season but have found their way back to contention level and are well positioned to play spoiler once again.

The No. 4 Seeded Cleveland Cavaliers (52-30) also ran through some tough times during the regular season but managed to bounce right back with the latest addition of James Harden now leading the squad. Them Boys are looking more and more rejuvenated and motivated to play spoiler if not taken seriously.

The No. 5 Seeded Toronto Raptors (46-36), the No. 6 Seeded Atlanta Hawks (46-36), the No. 7 Seeded Philadelphia 76ers (45-37) and the No. 8 Seeded Orlando Magic (45-37) all fought very hard in a tougher than expected Eastern Conference to earn their spot with not much separating them other than a stronger will to win which will be displayed come Playoff time.

With the competitiveness of both conferences showing up, I’m anticipating a very intriguing turn of events developing throughout this Playoff season so tune in this Saturday afternoon April 18, 2026, and witness the outcome.
