    Teofimo Lopez pursues boxing takeover with Triller
    Teofimo Lopez refers to himself as the “Takeover” because he envisioned himself as a boxing superstar long before he took over the lightweight division as the undisputed champion.
    Eight months ago, Lopez expected to defeat Vasiliy Lomachenko, who at the time was regarded as the best pound-for-pound boxer, but Lopez was caught off guard when he held the Ring Magazine belt, the title that serves as a reminder that he’s the one who beat the man.

    Mookie Betts leads Dodgers to rain-shortened win in Pittsburgh
    For most of this season, Mookie Betts has not played like one of the best players in the game (as he has been for most of his big-league career), the difference-maker he was for the Dodgers last year.
    But Thursday was a reminder of what he is capable of doing.
    Betts led off the game with a home run then added a Gold Glove-level defensive play reminiscent of his NLCS Game 5 gem in October. Both were needed as the Dodgers edged the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-3 in a game shortened by rain to complete a t

    Dodgers’ Cody Bellinger ‘close’ to breaking out of slump, Dave Roberts says
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts likes to predict nothing but the best for his players. So, not surprisingly, he forecasts good times ahead for Cody Bellinger.
    Bellinger is just “one good series away from everything lining up,” Roberts said.
    There have been moments – like a six-RBI inning against the St. Louis Cardinals last week – but it hasn’t lined up yet for Bellinger, who has yet to produce offensively since returning from his leg injury.

    The standard for well-qualified borrowers is debt should amount to no more than 50% of their income. Under Refi Now, qualifying debt-to-income ratios rise to an astronomical 65%.
