On April 21, Gervonta Davis made easy work of Jesus Cuellar securing a Technical Knock Out (TKO) victory in just three rounds. Referee Benjy Esteves Jr. called the bout at the 2:45 mark of round three.

Davis, fighting out of Baltimore, MD holds a record of (20-0, 19 KO’s). He became world champion for the second time in his young career. Securing the WBA Super World super featherweight title. The fight took place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

The 23-year-old landed a beautiful body shot in round two and then made the 31-year-old Cuellar hit the canvas twice in round three.

After being stripped of his IBF title late August last year after missing weight against Francisco Fonseca, Davis is once again at the top.

With the win secured, Davis states he is ready for the big show.

“I’m ready for Lomachenko if they’re ready to put it PPV,” Davis said.

Vasyl Lomachenko (10-1, 8 KO’s) was surprised to see Davis wanted to fight him. Before, when the two fighters fought at super featherweight at the same time there was no talk of fighting.

“I read he wants the fight, only on PPV. What are you talking about? You’ve never had the main event, you fight only co-main. What kind of a PPV is that going to be?” Lomachenko said.

Bob Arum, of Top Rank and Lomachenko’s promoter, said he’d make the fight happen but only if there is serious interest from Davis and his promotor Floyd Mayweather Jr.

In the meantime, Lomachenko will fight for a world title against WBA World lightweight champion Jorge Linares (44-3, 27 KO’s) on May 12. The fight will take place at Madison Square Garden in New York. Next, Lomachenko wants to fight Mikey Garcia (38-0, 30 KO’s) in a unification fight. Garcia will most likely be the IBF/WBC lightweight champion and is believed to be fighting IBF lightweight champion Robert Easter Jr. next.

“I want this fight. I like the challenge, Mikey is a big challenge for me and I want this fight. It will be a historical fight,” Lomachenko said.

With making easy work against Cuellar, Davis will have to wait for Lomachenko’s next move. With his mindset for his next opponents inside the ring, this gives Davis time to work into main events and show he’s worthy of a PPV fight.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
