Good news for Zab Judah, who was released from the hospital in New York and is headed home. The 41-year-old Judah was admitted after Friday’s fight with Cletus Seldin, and a brain bleed was discovered.

Gennadiy Golovkin doesn’t much care about Oscar De La Hoya’s tweets, which is probably the right attitude to have.

Or at least it would seem that way from the outside.
