Exclusive interview with Pro-boxer, Byron Rojas

Posted on September 17, 2025 by Heather

Introduction

Byron Rojas (29-5-3, 12 KOs) was born and raised in Nicaragua. He is currently ranked #3 Flyweight in Nicaragua, and #64 in the world by BoxRec.com. He is an exemplary fighter who has earned several title shots . When he was living in Nicaragua, in 2016 he had fought for the IBO World Minimum title and won by unanimous decision; however he was not eligible to win the title due to a technicality.

On July 25, 2025, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Mr. Rojas lost a split decision to Andy Dominguez Velasquez. The WBC USA Silver Light Flyweight title was on the line. I feel that Rojas should have won the bout or it should have been a draw. It appeared that Byron was getting more punches in than Andy.

Why Fans Love Personalized Football Cards

Posted on September 17, 2025 by A. J. Riot

In the realm of sports memorabilia, few items evoke as much passion and nostalgia as football cards. For decades, fans have collected these small pieces of cardboard, each representing not just a player but a moment in time. However, the evolution of fan engagement has led to a stunning new trend—personalised football cards. By adding a unique touch, these cards have significantly changed the way fans connect with the sport and their favourite players.

Personalized football cards with your own photo allow fans to step beyond typical collecting. Instead of merely owning a card of a beloved player, fans can create something uniquely their own. This adds a layer of connection that speaks to the heart of what it means to be a football supporter. The appeal lies not just in the tangible product, but in the emotional ties that are woven into each card.

Hidden Opportunities: How to Spot the Best Value Bets in Minor Leagues and Niche Sports

Posted on September 10, 2025 by A. J. Riot

For most bettors, mainstream leagues like the English Premier League or the NBA are the go-to choices. But seasoned bettors know that hidden opportunities often lie in minor leagues and niche sports—areas where bookmakers may misprice odds, and astute players can spot real value. Just like the Vortex online game, which demands sharp observation, quick decision-making, and strategic thinking, betting in these lesser-known markets requires research, agility, and precision. A single insight can make the difference between a winning and losing wager.

Minor leagues and niche sports are often overlooked because they lack the fanfare and coverage of major events. Yet, this very lack of attention is what makes them fertile ground for bettors seeking value.
