In front of a jam-packed crowd consisting of fans, family and media at Bobby V’s in Stamford on Tuesday night, Jimmy Burchfield Sr. unveiled the details of “Summer Heat 2023,” an absolutely stacked boxing card taking place on August 12th at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT.

Featured at the podium were Stamford pro boxers Chordale ‘The Gift’ Booker and Slawomir Bodhziewicz, as well as a pair of amateur fighters from New Haven, Chad Dawson Jr. and Troyveon Allen.

“August 12 is going to be special, because not only will fans be treated to a great night of professional boxing, but they’ll get a 2-for-1,” stated CES Founder Jimmy Burchfield Sr. “Their ticket will also allow them to attend the ‘Jimmy Burchfield Classic Invitational,’ a USA Boxing sanctioned Amateur showcase that will take place before the pro card on August 12th.”

The pro boxing card will be headlined by newly minted WBC US Super Welterweight champion Booker (19-1, 8 KOs), who won the title at Mohegan Sun Arena in April with a spectacular 4th round knockout.

Booker will be one step closer to a title shot with an impressive victory over Puerto Rico’s Nicolas Hernandez (27-6-3, 12 KOs), especially if undisputed junior middleweight champion Jermell Charlo vacates his belts after moving up two divisions to challenge undisputed super middleweight champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez on September 30th in Las Vegas.

“This is going to be one of my best performances,” exclaimed Booker. “I haven’t been this locked in since 2018. However long it goes, it’s gonna be bad for Nicolas Hernandez. You’re going to see a great performance and a great show. This fight is not going 10.”

The pro card will also feature Hall-of-Famer and former two division champion Jaime ‘The Hurricane’ Clampitt (24-6-2, 7 KOs) and many of the…

WILKES-BARRE, PA – Bettors Donttell (Bettor’s Delight), who looked to be the worst-placed of the four main contenders in Saturday afternoon’s $18,500 pacing feature at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, showed great gameness to go on to a 1:49.4 victory.

Traceur Hanover yielded to RIP Wheeler before an opening quarter of :26.1; that one then reached the half in :54.3. Bettors Donttell started up first-over headed down the backstretch, with favored Backstreet Shadow in good second-over position. Those positions didn’t change by the 1:21.3 three-quarters, and they didn’t change as the field turned for home.

RIP Wheeler couldn’t maintain his advantage, and Backstreet Shadow, involved in an incident in the Battle Of Lake Erie and not in peak form since, couldn’t take advantage of the cover trip after swinging wide. 20-1 Traceur Hanover raced well in the pocket, but Bettors Donttell, who was not the smoothest-gaited of the foursome, showed the most heart to take the top event by a half length over Traceur Hanover.

Simon Allard guided the winner to victory for the meet’s leading trainer, Ron Burke, and the Burke Racing Stable LLC and Weaver Bruscemi LLC partnership.

BETTORS DONTTELL REPLAY

There was an $18,000 trot for the highest level of developing younger horse before they go on to fast-class racing (“nw 11 races life”), with Speed Away (Father Patrick), who had won against older horses in his last start, making it two straight with a 1:53.4 triumph. The gelding was kept by driver Matt Kalaley just behind Diehard Seelster and College Tuition as they argued through early fractions of :27.3 and :56.1. Speed Away entered the battle going to the 1:24.3 three-quarters then had to beat those…

Our basketball betting expert offers up his three best Sun vs Mystics predictions ahead of their huge WNBA clash this Sunday.

Two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference matchup on Sunday with the Sun vs Mystics at the Mohegan Sun Arena. This is the third meeting between the teams in 2023 after the Connecticut Sun beat the Washington Mystics in back-to-back games in May.

Sun vs Mystics Betting Tips

• Connecticut Sun -6.5 
• Washington Mystics to win the first quarter 
• Under 166.5 points 

Sun To Cover Spread Once Again

The Connecticut side has covered the spread in over half of their games this season which informs our Sun vs Mystics tips from the off. We have scoured several WNBA betting sites to find the value picks for this one. 

Their previous wins over the Mystics were by single digits, but they saw off the Seattle Storm with an emphatic 20-point advantage on Thursday night to improve to 13-5 on the season.

Washington has gone just 7-9 against the spread in 2023. Admittedly, they are up in fourth in net rating which makes them amongst the best WNBA tips for this market. This is still a team we expect to hover around .500 for most of the season.

Connecticut is elite on both sides of the ball, ranking behind only the Aces and Liberty in net rating for the season. Washington leans very heavily on their defence and might struggle to score enough points to keep pace with the Sun.

Bet 1: Connecticut Sun -6.5 

Mystics Take The First Quarter

While we fancy the Sun to run out victorious on Sunday, we also expect the Mystics to start strongly. Washington has a whopping +30.8 net rating over their last six first quarters, which has…
