NEW YORK – Undefeated junior welterweight John Bauza will be in action on Saturday night when he takes on Christon Edwards in a bout scheduled for eight-rounds at The Virgin Hotel in Las Vegas.

 

Bauza is managed by Split-T Management

 

Bauza of North Bergen, New Jersey has a record of 14-0 with five knockouts.

 

The 23 year-old began boxing at the age of nine when he walked into a gym and loved the sport immediately.

Bauza turned professional on April 23, 2016 with a 1st round stoppage over LeRoy Padilla in Caguas, Puerto Rico.

 

He is coming off an eight-round unanimous decision over Larry Fryers (11-2) on June 30th in Las Vegas.

 

Edwards of Houston is a very respectable 12-2 with six knockouts.

 

The 28 year-old Edwards has wins over Omar Reyes (1-0), Julius Dyis (9-2), and his latest outing when he won a unanimous decision over Jonathan Steele on March 4th in Biloxi, Mississippi.

 

Bauza weighed 140 llbs at Friday’s weigh-in; Edwards was 140.4 lbs.

 

Bauza is promoted by Top Rank.

The Washington Nationals announced the following roster moves Saturday. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcements:

 

Returned from rehabilitation assignment and reinstated right-handed pitcher Erick Fedde from the Injured List

Selected the contract of right-handed pitcher Jefry Rodriguez

Selected the contract of right-handed pitcher Andres Machado, optioned him and selected him as the 27th man for Saturday’s doubleheader

Placed right-handed pitcher Daniel Hudson on the 10-day Injured List (retroactive to June 10) with right elbow inflammation

Transferred right-handed pitcher Will Harris to the 60-day Injured List with right hand inflammation

Fedde, 28, will start the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader. He is 3-4 with a 4.35 ERA in eight starts this season. His last start came on May 16 at Arizona when he tossed 7.0 innings of three-hit, shutout ball to earn his third win of the season.

 

Rodriguez, 27, went 1-0 with a 7.56 ERA in six games (five starts) for Triple-A Rochester in 2021. He struck out 19 batters, walked 13 and allowed just one home run in 16.2 innings pitched. Rodriguez made his Major League debut with Washington in 2018 when he appeared in 14 games (eight starts), going 3-3 with a 5.71 ERA. Rodriguez was traded to Cleveland in the deal that brought Yan Gomes to Washington in 2018. He went 1-5 with a 4.63 ERA in 10 games (eight starts) for Cleveland in 2019.

Left-handed batters went just 3-for-18 (.158) against him during his time with Rochester.

 

Machado returns to the Major Leagues for the first time since 2017 when he appeared in two games out of the Kansas City Royals bullpen.

 

In 2019, the right-hander was named Triple-A Omaha’s Pitcher of the Year after going 3-2 with a 2.89 ERA in 44 appearances. He struck out 65 batters in 74.2 innings pitched for Kansas City’s Triple-A affiliate.

 

A native of Carabobo, Venezuela, Machado is 18-33 with a 4.51 ERA in 171 outings across 10 professional seasons.

Hudson, 34, is 4-1 with a 2.59 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 23 games out of Washington’s bullpen. He leads the club and ranks fifth in the National League with 12 holds.

NHL Morning Skate: Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition – Friday, June 11, 2021

THREE HARD LAPS
 
* After the Golden Knights and Avalanche combined for three game-tying tallies, Vegas scored three unanswered goals to advance to the round before the Stanley Cup Final for the third time since joining the NHL in 2017-18.
* The NHL announced the dates, starting times and television information for the 2021 Stanley Cup Semifinals, with puck drop for Game 1 between the Islanders and Lightning series set for Sunday at AMALIE Arena (3 p.m. ET on NBC, SN, TVAS, CBC).

* Nathan MacKinnon, Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid were named the three finalists for the 2020-21 Hart Memorial Trophy, awarded “to the player adjudged to be the most valuable to his team”.

VEGAS REACHES FINAL FOUR FOR THIRD TIME SINCE INAUGURAL SEASON
The Avalanche scored just 23 seconds into the game and pulled even twice in the second period, but the Golden Knights responded with three unanswered goals to eliminate the Presidents’ Trophy winner and advance to the Stanley Cup Semifinals. This is Vegas’ third all-time trip to the final four, making them the third franchise in League history to reach the round before the Stanley Cup Final three times through its first four NHL seasons, following the Rangers and Blues.

* Vegas became the fifth franchise in League history to eliminate the top-seeded team after earning a Game 7 win in its preceding series. The Golden Knights joined the Flyers in 1974 (SF vs. NYR & SCF vs. BOS), Penguins in 1992 (DSF vs. WSH & DF vs. NYR), Flames in 2004 (CQF vs. VAN & CSF vs. DET) and Bruins in 2011 (CF vs. TBL & SCF vs. VAN).

* Vegas’ victory also marked the fourth instance in NHL history in which a team overcame a 2-0 series deficit to win a best-of-seven against the No. 1 seed. Chicago achieved the feat in the 1962 and 1965 Semifinals, while Boston also did so in the 2011 Stanley Cup Final.

VEGAS TO MEET MONTREAL WITH BERTH IN STANLEY CUP FINAL ON THE LINE
The Golden Knights will face the Canadiens in the Stanley Cup Semifinals, marking the first-ever playoff meeting between the clubs. Montreal owns a 5-1-0 (10 points) edge in six all-time regular-season games versus Vegas (1-2-3, 5 points).

* The inaugural NHL seasons for the Golden Knights (2017-18) and Canadiens (1917-18) were 100 years apart, which is the largest such gap in League history among two franchises meeting in a postseason series. The previous mark was 91 years, when Vegas and Chicago (1926-27) met in the 2020 First Round.


 
VEGAS VICTORY LOCKS IN FINAL FOUR BRACKET, SCHEDULE FOR NEXT ROUND
After being the first team to clinch a playoff berth this season, the Golden Knights were the last to emerge from their division, completing the Stanley Cup Semifinals bracket.

 

* Vegas’ win also locked in the dates, start times and television information for the Stanley Cup Semifinals, which begin Sunday, June 13 in Tampa when the defending champion Lightning host the Islanders in a rematch of their series from last year.

CLARENCE S. CAMPBELL BOWL, PRINCE OF WALES TROPHY TO BE PRESENTED
The NHL announced today that the winner of the Golden Knights–Canadiens series will receive the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl, while the Lightning and Islanders will compete for the Prince of Wales Trophy.

PAST STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS GUIDE GOLDEN KNIGHTS IN GAME 6
 
* Alex Pietrangelo (1-1—2) scored the second series-clinching goal of his NHL career – his first was in Game 7 of the 2019 Stanley Cup Final, powering St. Louis to its first-ever championship. He became the fifth active defenseman with two series clinchers, a cohort which includes teammate Alec Martinez (0-1—1) who also had a Stanley Cup-winning goal (also Victor Hedman, Duncan Keith & Kris Letang).

* Marc-Andre Fleury (30 saves), whose teams have reached the round before the Stanley Cup Final eight times, earned the 89th playoff win of his NHL career to surpass Billy Smith and Ed Belfour for sole possession of fourth place on the League’s all-time list.

MacKINNON, MATTHEWS AND McDAVID VOTED HART TROPHY FINALISTS
Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon, Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews and Oilers captain Connor McDavid were named the three finalists for the 2020-21 Hart Memorial Trophy.

* MacKinnon, a finalist for the second straight year and third time overall after second-place finishes in both 2017-18 and 2019-20, can become the third Avalanche/Nordiques player to claim the Hart Trophy, following Joe Sakic (2000‑01) and Peter Forsberg (2002-03).

* Matthews was Toronto’s first Hart Trophy finalist since 1992-93, when Doug Gilmour finished second in voting. Matthews can become the third player in franchise history to win the award, after Babe Pratt (1943-44) and Ted Kennedy (1954-55).

* McDavid, who won the Hart Trophy in 2016-17, can become the fifth player in NHL history to capture the award multiple times before his 25th birthday (age as of final day of regular season). He would join Wayne Gretzky (6x), Bobby Orr (3x), Gordie Howe (2x) and Alex Ovechkin (2x).

North Carolina Sports Betting Bill Expected to Advance in June

Sports betting legislation in the state has not seen any progress since April, but sponsors expect serious discussions to take place in June.

 

Senate Bill 688 on Halt Since April

The expansion of sports betting in North Carolina has not seen the expected progress, although supporters of the legislation say there might be an advance in June. Senate Bill 688 (SB 688), which was filed by Senators Jim Perry and Paul Lowe, has been at a standstill since April 8, when it was referred to the Committee on Rules and Operations of the Senate.

 

The proposed legislation aims to extend sportsbooks beyond the two tribal casinos owned by the Eastern Bank of Cherokee Indians. Legalizing sports betting in North Carolina has a huge revenue potential and would be used to fund education and boost the economy.

 

Currently, the non-regulated sports betting industry in North Carolina is booming and according to estimates, it might stand at nearly $2 billion. For comparison, the state lottery amounts to $1.5 billion and $1.9 billion annually. Senator Jim Perry said:

 

“We believe every sheriff knows who the bookies are in their county. We see this going on and we see folks avoiding income taxes on money from illegal gambling.”

 

Legal Sports Betting Could Be a Powerful Economic Engine

If the legislation is approved, North Carolina might see up to 12 online licenses and will allow owners of sports facilities to launch on-site wagering platforms. Senator Lowe pointed out the negative effect of the pandemic on the education sector and said that allowing sports betting might raise revenue to be used for school construction, among other things.

 

Spectrum Gaming, a non-partisan consultancy specialized in legalized gaming, carried out a report into the tax implications for the state should sports betting become legal. The results show within 5 years, the revenue from casinos would reach $2.2 billion, while income from sports betting would amount to $367 million. Online gambling revenue would equal $300 million, while revenue from video poker could be $2.5 billion.

 

House Bill 631 was scheduled for a hearing in the House Commerce Committee on May 11, but was canceled later. Rep. Jason Saine, who introduced the bill, said that legislators have become more welcoming towards the bill, since neighboring Tennessee has reported about $16 million in tax revenue so far this year. Saine believes that there will be clarity regarding the bill by the end of June. Other advocates of the legislation hope to tackle the issue in the upcoming weeks before the break starting in July.

Andrey Fedosov Ready for Heavyweight Elite

Philadelphia – After his first-round destruction of former world amateur champion Mahammadrasul Majidov on April 17th, Andrey Fedosov wants to fight the top heavyweights in the world.

 

Fedosov (32-3, 26 KOs) took out Majidov by scoring two vicious knockdowns, and stopped the accomplished fighter in 84 seconds in Hollywood, Florida.

 

With champions Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua tied up with mandatory defenses, and presumably followed by two bouts against each other, the top contenders in the division will need quality opponents for the next 12-18 months.

 

Enter Fedosov.

 

The 35 year-old native of Shuya, Russia has not lost in eight years, and feels that bouts with the top contenders are a natural

 

“Look at my resume. It is as good as any, and now is my time to get my opportunity against one of the big names in the division. Guys like Andy Ruiz, Dillian Whyte, Joseph Parker, Luis Ortiz, Joe Joyce or Charles Martin are on my radar. I know these guys are waiting around for title shots, but if they really know is happening in the heavyweight division, they will be waiting a long time for that. They need to fight, and I would like to get one of them in the ring,” said the 2015 Boxcino champion.

 

“Andrey is willing to fight anyone in the division. There are a lot of potential great matchups for Andrey. We are working to secure one of those top contenders,” said Banner Promotions President, Artie Pelullo.

 

Fedosov is promoted by Banner Promotions and Newsboy Boxing.
