Boxing promoters have put on hold at least four dates with the New York State Athletic Commission from January to March but have been uncertain about whether they would be able stage the fights, because they are not legally allowed to put them on.The reason is because of new insurance regulations for combat sports in the state that went into effect on Sept. 1, as part of the law that legalized mixed martial arts in New York. When the law was implemented, boxing promoters were left without any available insurance policy to buy to cover the events, leaving the sport dead in New York since the last card took place on Coney Island in Brooklyn on Aug. 21.Promoters canceled several cards through the end of the year, but after months of wrangling and negotiation, a policy will soon be available to promoters enabling them to put on boxing events, albeit at a dramatically higher cost.New Yorks Department of Financial Services, the state agency that worked with the insurance industry, has approved a policy that the United States Fire Insurance Co. is getting set to make available to promoters. It is expected to be in place in time for the first card on the commissions schedule to take place. That is the card co-promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Mayweather Promotions and headlined by the Badou Jack-James DeGale super middleweight title unification bout on Jan. 14 (Showtime) at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.It is our understanding that a combat sports insurance policy has been approved with an insurance carrier [United States Fire Insurance Co.] and will soon be made available to promoters, NYSAC spokesman Laz Benitez told ESPN on Tuesday.When the law legalizing MMA in New York went into effect, it raised the minimum coverage for a boxing card from $10,000 to $50,000 for general medical coverage per fighter on the card, a change most promoters had no issue with and one that conforms to the norm in many other states. But the law also required a new and unprecedented $1 million minimum requirement for each fighter in the event the fighter suffers a life-threatening brain injury, a very rare occurrence.It was difficult to get even one insurance company to enter the market to offer the policy that United States Fire Insurance Co. is about to roll out. Even when the policy becomes available, it is still likely to dramatically reduce the number of boxing cards in New York because of the cost.A source with direct knowledge of the pricing being discussed for the policy told ESPN that a 10-bout card in New York would likely cost in excess of $16,000 but possibly substantially more to meet the minimum standards of the new law.UFC has put on two cards since MMA was legalized in the state, but they were covered by an MMA-only policy issued by AIG.Lou DiBella, founder and owner of DiBella Entertainment, said he was not clear yet on the precise cost of the new policy. He also stated that while he is pleased there will be a policy available to cover major cards in the state, such as the ones that take place at Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center, he is still very upset and concerned about the future of the club cards that are the life blood of the sport in the state.There will be insurance for the Jan. 14 card at Barclays Center, but this is not solving the long-term problem, DiBella said. Its potentially phenomenally expensive. I dont have all the final details, but my understanding of the insurance is that it would be available for the Jan. 14 card and will allow the highest-level fights to take place, but it does nothing to help the club shows or any grassroots New York boxing to take place. This is a temporary fix. Im looking for a permanent fix.DiBella also has March 4 at Barclays Center on hold for the much-anticipated welterweight world title unification fight between Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia.According to the New York commission, there are two other dates on hold for cards in New York so far in 2017: March 17, for a Top Rank card at The Theater at Madison Square Garden that will feature the professional debut of Irish Olympic star Michael Conlan; and March 18, at Madison Square Garden, that K2 Promotions has slotted for the possible Gennady Golovkin-Daniel Jacobs middleweight world title fight.DiBella said those are all big enough shows to absorb the additional cost of the new insurance policy, but his Broadway Boxing club cards in Manhattan and Star Boxing promoter Joe DeGuardias club cards on Long Island at the Paramount in Huntington remain impossible to do at such an inflated cost.This policy will allow the biggest fights to take place, but it does nothing to address the more serious problem of club shows or small regional television cards, DiBella said. Youre not going to see a ShoBox card in New York with this insurance policy. Id say 90 percent of the shows that normally happen in New York wont be possible to take place under this policy because of the cost.Why would a promoter come to New York for that cost when they can go elsewhere for a lot less money?

Thousands of Southern California fans enveloped the Trojans to celebrate an improbable win secured by an interim coach, an inconsistent kicker and a thin defence that wouldnt break. South Africa 481 for 8 dec (du Plessis 112*, Duminy 88, de Kock 82, Wagner 5-86) and 132 for 7 dec (de Kock 50, Southee 3-46) beat New Zealand 214 (Williamson 77, Rabada 3-62, Steyn 3-66) and 195 (Nicholls 76, Steyn 5-33) by 204 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsA masterful display of swing bowling from Dale Steyn, who picked up his first five-wicket haul in international cricket since December 2014, helped South Africa bowl New Zealand out for 195 in their chase of 400 on the fourth day in Centurion. Steyn and Vernon Philander, abetted by exaggerated variable bounce on a deteriorating SuperSport Park surface, set up South Africas first Test series win since early 2015 by ripping through New Zealands top order in a devastating seven-over period before lunch.Despite an impressive half-century from Henry Nicholls, New Zealand never really recovered from being 18 for 4 at lunch, and they were eventually bowled out half an hour from stumps.Steyn landed the first ball of the fourth innings in the channel outside off stump - it was wide enough for Tom Latham not to play but the extra bounce caught him unawares, and the ball clattered into the stumps off Lathams withdrawing bat. It was the third time in three innings on this tour that Steyn had dismissed Latham.Five balls later, Martin Guptill got an unplayable outswinger: it pitched on off and swerved away to take the outside edge to Hashim Amla at first slip.The variable bounce kept troubling New Zealand. In the second over, Kane Williamson was rapped on the glove by an inswinger from Philander that reared at him from a good length. In the next over, Steyn got one to land on a similar length and scoot along the surface to Ross Taylor, trapping him in front. Could New Zealands situation get worse?It did. Williamson, perhaps still suffering the after-effects of the blow to his left hand, wafted at a wide delivery from Philander. He had avoided playing that line throughout the first innings. The ball swung further away and took his outside edge, and wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock completed a stunning one-handed catch low to his right.Nicholls offered New Zealands only real resistance with 76, his highest Test score. He was particularly effective square on either siide of the wicket, picking off straight deliveries and punishing width outside off.ddddddddddddWhen the bowlers overpitched, he collected runs through vacant areas down the ground.After weathering a tough period before lunch, he added 68 with Watling for the fifth wicket. With the ball moving both ways, Nicholls and Watling left well outside off, forcing the seamers towards the stumps. The quicks were continually rotated and batting became gradually easier as the middle session wore on.Just when it looked like New Zealand would get through the session unscathed, the offspinner Dane Piedt got one to spin back viciously. Watling shuffled across, missed his flick, and was struck in front of off stump. Watling reviewed, but umpires call on impact meant South Africa had their only wicket of the session.Kagiso Rabada, hitting the high 130-kph range as opposed to the 150 mark he regularly clocked in the first innings, struggled for fluency, rhythm and accuracy before tea. A number of wayward deliveries on either side of the wicket were easily avoided or dispatched to the boundary. However, he returned late in the day to pick up two-lower order wickets: he had Tim Southee bowled with a spearing yorker on off stump and beat Neil Wagner for pace to pin him in front of middle and leg.Mitchell Santner, Doug Bracewell and Southee all got off to starts, but could not stay long enough at the crease to help Nicholls to a maiden Test ton. At 195 for 9, Nicholls was quickly running out of partners and du Plessis recalled Steyn. A top-edged pull off a short delivery, aimed at Nicholls ribs, was taken at fine leg to end New Zealands resistance.In the morning, resuming from a score of 105 for 6, overnight batsmen Temba Bavuma and Vernon Philander were patient early, leaving and blocking Trent Boult and Tim Southee, both of whom generated appreciable lateral movement like they had on the third evening. Philander looked untroubled until he left a good-length delivery from Southee that jagged back prodigiously to uproot the off stump. South Africa declared at 132 for 7, having added 27 in the first hour.
