In our open, digital society, are our minds more closed than ever?
Justice used to be a religious ceremony, conducted in hushed courtrooms and viewed with a certain amount of respect. Now it's a spectator sport. Serried ranks of Tweeters belt their support or opprobrium from the digital cheap seats. Newspapers offer live updates, precisely as they do for Premiership football. That really was a neat little jink by the prosecution, Barry. Lovely feet.
Sticking with the football analogy, Oscar Pistorius doesn't seem to have much home support. All the "neutral" hashtags – #OscarTrial, #PistoriusTrial and so on – are traffic jams of condemnation. It seems we like things to be cut and dried. We'd prefer the answer to be simple. Those thousands of away fans, so to speak, have made up their minds. Read More
"Now is the time for marketers to take on the bigger issues"
The ongoing confidence highlighted in today's IPA Bellwether report is great news.
And today, media, especially digital, is relatively inexpensive. Which has a number of implications for marketers. First, marketers have many tools at their disposal as, on the face of it, marketing has never been so affordable. However, low barriers to entry for a mass media approach make for a crowded market. Which means gaining cut-through is increasingly challenging.
Brands continue to worry about channel proliferation, big data, social media and the associated complexity. However, with greater confidence, brands can afford to explore their options a little more. Read More
VR is the new drug – why brands should respond to the desire for immersive experiences
If you've ever dodged a roaring Tyrannosaurus Rex or peered down from the top of a 1920s skyscraper, chances are you're part of a rarified group with access to an Oculus Rift headset.
Augmented and virtual reality are opening the door to wild, eye-opening, fantastical experiences that until now have only been accessible through dreams or drugs. As leading VR expert and Stanford University professor Jeremy Bailenson has said: "Anything is possible in a virtual world… You can be 30 feet tall, you can be a different species." Read More
What U2 and Thom Yorke can teach us about online content
The last month has seen two of the world's biggest music artists – U2 and Thom Yorke (of Radiohead fame) – release albums exclusively through digital channels, but with vastly different distribution methods.
U2 were widely criticised for 'forced gifting' their album into the iTunes libraries of 800m unsuspecting users. Thom Yorke was applauded for continuing to find new ways of selling his/Radiohead's music online.
We can learn a great deal about how to best create and distribute online content from the music industry. The stark contrast between these two releases provides a great list of dos and don'ts for brands and agencies. Read More
The UK's top brands on social media
Socialbakers, the analytics platform, has released its monthly social marketing report. Nuggets from the September 2014 study include the news that EE has scooped first place in the Top Five Twitter Brands by Interactions, surpassing Tesco, which held the number one spot in August.
According to the stats, Sky has became the most Socially Devoted Brand in the UK in September 2014, again supplanting Tesco, while Vodafone joins the ranks of the Top Five Socially Devoted Brands on Facebook.
Don't let your brand be a turkey this Christmas
As marketers, we all know the importance of creating a smart digital strategy in the run up to Christmas. And it's never been as important as right now with one in five consumers in the UK and US doing all of their holiday shopping online. The British consumer is one of the most digitally savvy in the world, reportedly spending an average of 11 hours a day on media.
Here are The Exchange Lab's five tips for planning your holiday marketing campaign: Read More
Why brands should take a stand against last-click attribution
The digital marketing ecosystem is experiencing an attribution evolution. For too long, the industry has relied on the simple metrics of last-click attribution, regardless of the ability of this approach to measure the contributing factors leading to a sale or conversion.
A consumer's path to purchase is typically formed from a number of touchpoints including display and search engine ads, online videos, and social media interactions.
Although each touchpoint has its own distinct role to play in the conversion path, last-click attribution only measures the final conversion, and the last-click approach typically allocates far less importance to prospecting type activity than to re-targeting.
UK agencies no longer afraid of going native
The UK, somewhat surprisingly given the fact that it tends to follow the US lead for most things digital, has been slow to take up native advertising. However, this all began to change in the latter half of 2013 and the UK native market has continued to grow in scale throughout this year.
The key driver behind this growth, unsurprisingly, is the continued ineffectiveness of display advertising; it doesn't work on mobile devices, it's intrusive and it often antagonises the audience. However, UK agency attitudes to native advertising have been difficult to gauge – so we thought it was time to shine some light onto what they really thought; and more importantly, what they plan to do with native in the future.

In-store digital…when does it truly succeed?
In the current retail market the rules of brand engagement are in a continuous state of flux. The speed of this change has lead to a lot of knee jerk reactions from retailers as they seek to integrate digital into their offer.
But where is the framework that helps define the real necessity of in-store interactivity? How can we tell when the integration of digital into a retail environment will eventually result in a real measurable and tangible difference.
The methods of retail engagement within a store environment have always relied on the relevance and desirability of the product offer, its price position, and the attraction of its presentation display. Finding the right balance between these methods generally has us reaching for our wallet and moving to that final goal, the moment of purchase. Read More

Despite having multiple scoring options Virginia needs more from Joe Harris
Dec 7, 2013, 7:39 PM EDT
With guard Keifer Sykes and big man Alec Brown leading the way, Brian Wardle's Green Bay Phoenix are expected to contend for the Horizon League title this season. That fact meant that Tony Bennett's return to his alma mater wasn't going to be an easy one, with his Virginia Cavaliers looking to rebound from their worst offensive performance of the season in their loss to Wisconsin earlier in the week.
Virginia scored a much better clip than they did against the Badgers, but poor three-point shooting and 14 turnovers resulted in a 75-72 defeat. Sykes and Greg Mays led the way for the Phoenix, finishing with 21 and 24 points respectively. And as a team Green Bay shot 51% from the field and 50% from the field, finding quality looks against the Cavaliers' pack line D for much of the contest.
Now that Virginia's lost two straight games, should there be serious concerns with the start of ACC play less than a month away? Let's not go that far just yet.
After not even shooting 25% against Wisconsin the Cavaliers made half of their field goal attempts against Green Bay, shooting 62.1% inside of the arc. But in the offensive system that Virginia runs it's important that they be able to knock down three-pointers as well, and that didn't happen as they shot 5-for-17 from deep. Add in 14 turnovers and Virginia found itself in trouble before making good use of the offensive glass and the painted area to eventually tie a game they trailed by as much as 11 at three different stages of the second half.
The biggest question to be asked moving forward focuses on senior guard Joe Harris: is he getting enough shots? Harris shot 5-for-9 (12 points) against Green Bay, and while that's an improvement when compared to how he shot against Wisconsin (1-for-10) the Cavaliers will need him to get back to the level at which he scored last season. Harris' scoring average (11.2 ppg) is down five points from last season (16.3), a year in which he earned first team All-ACC honors and entered 2013-14 as one of the frontrunners for ACC Player of the Year.
Last season Harris failed to score in double figures just four times, and he's already matched that number in 2013-14. Virginia is 3-1 in such games and has multiple scoring options, and their five players in double figures against Green Bay is an indication of that. But if Virginia's to hang with Duke, Syracuse and whoever else proves to be capable of making a run at the ACC title, they're going to need Joe Harris to "turn back the clock."

One of the most memorable moments in the film Amadeus depicts Antonio Salieri seeing a score of Mozart's music for the first time. As his eye passes over the page, the music sounds in his head and Salieri describes each musical entrance and change in the composition's texture with wondrous amazement. It is an experience, to the film's viewer, of hearing something familiar again as if for the first time, so great is the difference when the details and elegance are made apparent. This is a scene that has made many lovers of classical music out of proud plebians, and one for which viewers of the stage play on which the movie was based wait in vain, as it was added especially for the film. Such a scene is found, however, in Moisés Kaufman's play 33 Variations, now playing at Park Square Theatre.

They say that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but by golly the team behind Nice Work If You Can Get It has given it the old gangster try. This Gershwin jukebox musical passes the time pleasantly, forgoing musical innovations for tried and true melodies and a farce of a plot that steadily amps up the ridiculous complications.

It's fun going into a show with no expectations.
Some movies cannot translate well to the stage. Dirty Dancing, at the Orpheum Theater until October 19, is one of them. The scenes were overly cheesy, and the transitions were choppy. While the dancing definitely was the focal point of the show, the singing and acting was subpar. When a movie is loved and touted by millions, the bar is set even higher. Unfortunately, this show did disappoint.
Mayor Chris Coleman welcomed the crowd to Real Phonic Radio at the James J Hill Reference Library Thursday, October 16. And I have to say, our Mayor is a good sport, reading in the usual iireverant appraoch of regular spokesman, Thom MIddlebrook. He astutely observed that while we had enough entertainment for three shows in Minneapolis, it was all hitting one stage in St Paul—as it does every third Thursday.
When I arrived at Myth in Maplewood on October 16, I was completely worn out. I was dead tired from a long day, feeling the first symptoms of a cold coming on, and finding myself more or less in a state of mind that was probably completely the opposite of what I should have had heading into The Glitch Mob show. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired, slightly grumpy, and more than a little ready to be annoyed.

The Twin Cities Film Fest 2014 is upon us. The fest runs from October 16th to October 25th, screening at a single location in the Showplace Icon West End cinema. The metro is lucky enough to have several film festivals sprinkled throughout the year, and each one has its own kind of focus. Twin Cities Film Fest looks to aim toward a spot in the upper tier of the indie film festival circuit, showcasing films that have done well at Sundance, South by Southwest and others. Not quite as international as Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival, not quite as doggedly independent as Minneapolis Underground Film Festival, the TCFF program focuses on mostly domestic films that are on the cusp of wider release or deserve wider attention. Additionally, there is a very healthy showing of locally filmed or produced movies.

Neymar's scored two first-half goals against Cameroon who fell to their third defeat in three group games.
Joel Matip's first-time finish put the African side level, before Fred and substitute Fernandinho increased Brazil's lead.
It had more than a suspicion of offside when David Luiz curled over a cross to set up Brazil's third goal but the officials did not spot it and Fred didn't miss with the header.
Afterwards, Neymar played down the pressure on his shoulders saying: "There is no pressure. I've always said there is no pressure when you are making a dream come true and doing something you have sought after since you were a kid.
"I'm now playing in matches that I always dreamed about.
"I just want to help my fellow players not only by scoring goals but doing whatever it takes on the pitch to help us win.
"We are on the right track and the whole team is getting better and getting close to our target."

Ruhrgebiet, Germany
For the Christening of my youngest grandchild I needed something appropriate to wear, so I sewed this emerald peplum-top. The fabric is a shiny satin, I had in my stash. On the photos the top looks much brighter than it is. The sun gave us a lot of light when my husband took the photos.
On the Christening-day in March we had only 3 centigrades (less than 40 F) in that medieval church!
I wore black trousers, a warm coat and boots, nobody could see my nice top.

China's Wen: Auschwitz visit 'unforgettable, dark'
China's Premier Wen Jiabao delivers a speech 311 (R).
(photo credit: REUTERS/Jason Lee)
OSWIECIM, Poland - China's Prime Minister Wen Jiabao said on Friday a visit to the Auschwitz death camp where Nazis gassed to death 1.5 million people had left an indelible impression, and reinforced the importance of learning the lessons of history."This is an unforgettable, dark page in the history of humankind and cannot be forgotten," Wen said after touring the former death camp in southern Poland that is now a museum containing gas chambers and crematoria, as well as personal items like shoes and even hair of those who perished there."Only those who remember history can build a good future," Wen said.As many as 1.5 million people, mostly Jews, perished during World War Two in the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, a hallmark of the Holocaust, either in gas chambers or from freezing temperatures, starvation, sickness, medical experiments and forced labor.Wen's visit to Auschwitz appeared intended to show that he understood the scale of war-time suffering across Nazi-occupied Europe.More than other Chinese leaders, Wen has cast himself as an advocate of moderate political reform and what Chinese liberal thinkers call "universal values," even as his government has presided over crackdowns on political dissent.China's detention of dissident artist Ai Weiwei last year, and the continued imprisonment of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo, are among examples that have sparked outcry from the international community critical of China's human rights record.Chinese memories of World War Two are dominated by their own history of often brutal occupation by Japan before and during the war, which started in Europe with Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland on Sept. 1, 1939.Wen has been touring European trade partners earlier this week as Beijing is seeking ways to diversify its foreign currency reserves, the world's biggest.Poland was home to Europe's largest Jewish community before 1939, but the Nazi-sponsored Holocaust all but wiped it out and oppression continued under the later communist regime.

Keith Olbermann Might Return To ESPN: Anchor Reportedly In Talks To Host Late Night Show
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
July 13, 2013 8:47 AM EST
Keith Olbermann might be returning to his roots. The controversial television personality is in talks to host a New York-based late-night talk show on ESPN2, 16 years after his acrimonious departure from the sports network, according to the New York Daily News.
The move comes at a tenuous time for ESPN. As the Daily News noted, ESPN is looking for ways to counter the anticipated big splash to be made by Fox with the launch next month of its new sports network, Fox Sports 1. Additionally, Deadspin reported that ESPN's second-quarter ratings were down 32 percent compared with last year.
Before his divisive stints as a political commentator on both MSNBC and the soon-to-be-defunct Current TV, Olbermann was best known to television audiences as the co-host of ESPN's flagship program, "SportsCenter," alongside Dan Patrick. The duo were highly visible personalities, coining the phrase "This -- Is 'SportsCenter'" and defining an era at the network. Olbermann co-hosted "SportsCenter" from 1992 until his departure in 1997.
As Complex noted, Olbermann made his fair share of enemies at ESPN. In an excerpt from the book "Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN," anchor Rece Davis explained the general feeling about Olbermann shortly after he left: "There was a rumor a few years ago that maybe Keith would come back, and one of our coordinating producers said, 'I think it would be a good idea but with one caveat. He first has to stand in the reception area, and everybody who wants to gets to come up and punch him in the stomach.'"
However, it appears as though relations may be thawing. "I wasn't here when Keith was here, but he is very talented," ESPN President John Skipper told the Hollywood Reporter. "So I had dinner with Keith. ... And I would not have had dinner with him if we didn't sit around and think about whether there was a reason to bring Keith back. I haven't met with him again, but we don't have a policy here that you can never come back."
If the rumors about a return to ESPN turn out to be true, Olbermann will be very busy. As the Hollywood Reporter pointed out, Olbermann recently inked a deal to anchor TBS' studio coverage of Major League Baseball postseason competition in October. "It's well known that Keith is a fan of the game, and when you combine that with his studio experience, keen insight and passion for baseball and its history, he'll add a new dimension to our MLB postseason studio shows," David Levy, president of sales, distribution and sports at Turner Broadcasting, said in a statement.
Olbermann has yet to comment on a potential return to ESPN.

Unfinished business for Marcus Upshaw
Modern day road warrior Marcus "Hurelius" Upshaw (15-9-2, 7 KOs) has unfinished business to take care of this Saturday night as the 32-year-old Floridian ventures to Minnesota for a rematch against "Sir" Carresso Fort (16-1-1, 11 KOs) in an eight-round bout at Black Bear Casino. Upshaw and Fort fought September 9, 2011 in Tampa, Florida. The fight somehow ended in a six-round split draw with Upshaw winning on two of three judges' scorecards (58-56, 58-56) with the other a draw (57-57).
"I won the fight, two of the judges had me winning, but I guess they didn't want to give him (Fort) his first loss and it was called a draw," Upshaw said. "It's just going to be me and him in the ring and this time it isn't going to go the distance. I should have gotten him out the last time. I don't know why I didn't win a split decision. (more…)

Geale talks about 2001 amateur bout with Golovkin
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
IBF middleweight champion Daniel Geale remembers his amateur bout with WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin in Osaka, Japan at the 2001 East Asian Games in the welterweight division. Geale had defeated Naoki Hirata of Japan before meeting Golovkin. He cannot remember Golovkin as a power puncher and is confident he can defeat Golovkin in the professional ranks.
"It was at the East Asian Games in Japan and he beat me on points," Geale said. "To be honest I fought like crap. I think he got me 15-3, so it was just a fight to forget for me. That fight wouldn't carry any weight at all if we fought as professionals – I can hardly even remember it. At that tournament the Kazakhstan fighters all had good footwork, and good power and the thing I really noticed at the time was that they really used the distance well in their fights. That's something that I've learnt over the years. A hell of a lot has changed since we met as amateurs." Daniel Geale will defend the IBF middleweight title against Darren Barker in Atlantic City on August 17

Is it the end for Joan Guzman?
By Robert Coster
Joan Guzman did it again. Last week in Kissimmee, Florida, Guzman came 8.2 pounds overweight for his WBA interim 140lb title fight against Vicente Mosquera and was not allowed to fight his much lighter opponent who made the weight. Coming in overweight and out of shape has become a recurrent problem for Guzman in a career that has been on a downward spiral for the past five years. Last December, in a losing effort for the vacant WBA title against Khabib Allakhverdiev, Guzman (33-1-1, 20 KOs) did make the weight but looked drained and listless. After the latest giant misstep on Friday, the question has to be asked: is it the end of the road for the former two division (WBO jr featherweight and WBO jr lightweight) champion? If such is the case, it will be a sad end for a boxer who in the opinion of many experts had the talent to be a boxing superstar. (more…)
Bika wants to defend title in Australia
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
Photo: Naoki Fukuda
Newly crowned WBC super middleweight champion Sakio Bika is disappointed at the lack of recognition he has received in his adopted country of Australia after capturing the vacant WBC title recently and would like to defend at home. Bika became the first boxer from Cameroon to hold a world boxing title and missed the birth of his third child while training in the USA for the title fight against previously undefeated Marco Antonio Periban.
"I won this world title and there was just a little bit in the paper," Bika said. "For me it was a big disappointment. Overseas in America, I am big. Wherever I go people always know of Sakio Bika. In Australia I never get recognized because the media have never really got behind me and said 'this guy has fought the best.' (more…)

July is a big month for Midwest middleweights
By Johnny B'
Summer is generally slow for boxing, but the middleweight division looks to heat up in the summer months in the Midwest portion of the USA. Action begins July 6th in Carlton, Minnesota, featuring 160-pounder Cerresso Fort (16-1-1, 11 KOs) from St. Paul, MN.
Davenport, Iowa, follows on Saturday July 13th as undefeated Illinois middleweight George Carter Jr. (9-0, 5 KOs) heads that ten bout card.
Next up is the July 19th show in Cicero, Illinois, featuring middleweight Ronald Hearns of Detroit (26-4, 20 KOs) in the main event.
July features more middleweight action in Cicero, on the 26th as Osumanu Adama (21-3, 15 KOs) from Ghana, now living and fighting out of Joliet, Illinois will headline that card.
Two of these middleweight contests are expected to be for regional title belts as the USA Midwest and Mid-American middleweight titles are both currently vacant.
World rated Bennett stops Lamptey; Butterbean loses to 1-1 fighter
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
WBO #7, WBA #13 jr welterweight Chad "Hollywood" Bennett (32-4-3, 23 KOs) stopped Ghana's Ebenezer Lantel Lamptey (22-2, 17 KOs) in a scheduled twelve round bout on Saturday with WBA and WBO regional titles up for grabs at the Entertainment Centre in Newcastle, NSW, Australia. Bennett dropped Lamptey in round three and the referee crowned the Australian in round five to save the import from further punishment. Bennett's promoter Vlad Wharton is chasing a title shot for Bennett with WBO champion Juan Marquez or WBA champion Danny Garcia.
Also, famed 46-year-old American heavyweight Eric "Butterbean" Esch (77-10-4, 58 KOs) suffered a stoppage loss to Aussie Kirk Lawton (2-1, 2 KOs). Butterbean injured his shoulder in round one and retired in his corner at the end of the round.
Promoter was Vlad Wharton of Millenium Events.
Maidana survives car crash unscathed
By Gabriel F. Cordero
Former WBA super lightweight champion Marcos Maidana was involved in a serious car accident in Argentina and is being taken to a hospital for a medical examination. Maidana was riding in the passenger seat when the vehicle he was in overturned and was totaled near the town of Avellaneda. Luckily "El Chino" seemingly escaped any serious injuries although he did suffer a trauma to the chest that is being checked out.
Ex-champ Harry Simon, 41, remains unbeaten after KO win over Kiss
Still undefeated 41-year-old former WBO jr middleweight and middleweight champion Harry Simon (28-0, 21 KOs) returned Saturday night to obliterate Zoltan Kiss Jr (28-15-3, 12 KOs) in two rounds at the Windhoek Country Club Resort and Casino in Windhoek, Namibia. Simon hurt Kiss in round one and dropped him twice in round two before the bout was waved off. Simon is expected to return July 27 for an IBF International title fight against TBA.
A boxing icon in Namibia, Simon lost his title and had his career derailed when an auto accident in 2002 left him badly injured and three tourists dead. He eventually spent two years in prison due to the incident for "culpable homicide." Since 2002, Simon fought once in 2007, twice in 2010 and once in 2012. This was his first bout in over a year.

In front of thousands at Sunday's press conference in Mexico City, boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather was asked if he was afraid of losing to Saul Canelo Alvarez.
"I'm not afraid of nuthin'," said Mayweather. "Floyd Mayweather will win September 14th. I'm not worried about nuthin'. I'm not nervous. I can fight. If I can't do nuthin' else, I can fight. I'm the champ. Pound-for-Pound I'm the best and September 14th you'll see….Right now I just can't be beat. Maybe 20 years from now, but not right now. It's just another day for me, September 14th. I never had no worries."
Canelo stated, "There are a lot of people who don't think I'm going to win, but on September 14, you'll see that I will win. I've always wanted to be the best in the sport and I'm on my way. I couldn't let this opportunity go by and I will take advantage of it on September 14. I'm always training. I never stop. To win we have to prepare well and not ignore the little things." photos

Former WBO minimumweight champion and current WBO #1 rated jr flyweight Moises "Moi" Fuentes (17-1-1, 8 KOs) scored a one-sided ten round unanimous decision over Gerardo "Diablito" Verde (18-6-1, 14 KOs) in a jr flyweight clash on Saturday at the Foro Tecate installed in the parking lot of Casino Caliente in Tijuana. Scores were 99-91 on all cards.
In the co-feature, bantamweight upset artist Jonathan "Zurdo" Lecona (14-13-2, 5 KOs) did it again.

Mbamba-Briones fight to a draw for WBF belt
By Ron Jackson
In a rather untidy brawl Evans Mbamba of South Africa and Mario Brones from Mexico fought to a 12 round majority draw for the vacant World Boxing Federation junior featherweight belt at the Graceland Hotel & Casino in Secunda on Saturday night. Two judges scored it 114-114 and the third judge had it a rather way out 117-111 for Mbamba. The southpaw Mbamba (55.34kg) appeared rather unfortunate not to come away with a close decision as he scored with right and lefts to the head throughout. However, Mbamba spent too much time with his back against the ropes while allowing Briones (55.24kg) to throw combinations at him, most of which landed on the South Africans arms and gloves. The 31-year-old Mbamba takes his record to 18-4; 9 and Briones, 27, goes to 24-3-2; 18. (more…)

Early in the first round, both boxers began traiding hard shots but the stronger Serrano was landing the most acurates with solid combitations to the head and body. In round 2, Olivo began to fade with two look a like knockdowns that were ruled slips. Serrano continued the assault in round 3, until Olivo's corner stopped the fight at 1:18. (more…)

Golovkin shows he's for real; crushes Macklin in three.

IBO/WBA middleweight world champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (27-0, 24 KOs) annihilated Matthew "Mack The Knife" Macklin (29-5, 20 KOs) with a crushing body shot in round three on Saturday night at the Foxwoods Resort in Mashantucket, Connecticut. A left hook to the liver put Macklin down for the count and more. Time was 1:22.
"I told you this is just a regular fight, not the biggest challenge," said Golovkin afterward. "This is just a regular fight because I'm champion today….I want this fight (vs. Sergio Martinez). I felt great in the ring, he never hurt me. It was an easy fight for me. I want to fight against soon. Any top fighter, any champion, any belt holder….anywhere."
Macklin, who was supposed to be Golovkin's toughest test yet, stated "He's the best I ever fought. He never really let me get started. It was a great shot he landed, the left hook to the body is personally one of my favorites. I tip my hat to him; he's a great champion. He has clubbing, solid power and you can feel the weight of every punch he throws."
Unbeaten IBO super middleweight titleholder Thomas "Tommy Gun" Oosthuizen (21-0-2, 13 KOs) and unbeaten prospect Brandon "Flawless" Gonzales (17-0-1, 10 KOs) battled to a ten round draw in a non-title bout. A late rally by Oosthuizen allowed him to salvage his '0.' Scores were 98-92 Gonzalez, 96-94 Oosthuizen and 95-95.
Jr middleweight prospect Willie Nelson (21-1-1, 12 KOs) scored an unpopular ten round unanimous decision over Luciano Cuello (32-3, 16 KOs). Nelson was able to use his height advantage to compile rounds in workmanlike fashion, although Cuello staggered him several times with aggressive power punching. Nelson seemed ready to go in the last round, but was able to survive until the final bell. Scores were 97-93, 97-93, 96-94. (more…)

Diaz dropped Marroquin twice in round one and Marroquin came up limping. Good two-way action the rest of the way with Diaz prevailing 96-92, 96-92 on two cards. Marroquin was ahead on the third card 95-93.
Unbeaten Olympian super lightweight Jose Ramirez (4-0, 3 KOs) annihilated Christopher Williams (1-2, 0 KOs) in round one. Body shots made Williams turn his back and the bout was stopped. Time was 1:30.
Unbeaten lightweight prospect Ivan Najera (11-0, 8 KOs) hammered out a hard fought six round unanimous decision over tough guy Alexander Lopez (6-5, 1 KO). Scores were 58-56, 58-56, 59-55.

In a second female championship bout, Ibeth "La Roca" Zamora (18-5, 8 KOs) kept her WBC female junior flyweight title when Maricela "La Baby" Quintero (11-4-1, 0 KOs) remained on her stool at the beginning of round nine.

Bilal Laggoune defeats Christophe Dufaux.
Tonight in Ninove, Belgium, local star Bilal Laggoune won every round against defending champion Christophe Dufaux to win the Belgian national cruiserweight title. Dufaux had won the title stopping Geoffrey Battelo and it was his first defense. Laggoune's training camp in Miami proved very succesful as we saw a complete different Laggoune then in his last fight. He was very mobile working behind a nice left jab and followed up with right uppecut whom often caught Dufaux. Laggoune was much too quick and pricise for Dufaux. Dufaux wobbled at the end of round 6 from a right hook to the chin. The bout almost ended with a brawl at the end of round 9 when both boxers continued throwing punches after a break command. Referee Philippe Wouters could quickly restore the order in the ring and after a stiff lecture to both boxers the bout could continue. According to Azzedine Laggoune, brother of Bilal, he would now like to challenge Russian Murat Gassiev for the WBC Youth title or Ivica Bacurin for the WBC Mediterranean. (more…)
Gavin Rees loses again, Anthony Crolla takes majority decision
In his first fight since losing to Adrien Broner in a bout for the WBC lightweight title, former Euro titleholder Gavin Rees (37-3-1, 18 KOs) was defeated again. Anthony Crolla (26-4-1, 9 KOs) won a hard fought and bloody twelve round majority decision upset over Rees on Saturday night at the Bolton Arena in Bolton, England. A late surge by Crolla pulled it out. Scores were 115-113, 116-113 115-115.
In a rematch, super middleweight Paul Smith (33-3, 19 KOs) scored a sith round TKO over Tony Dodson (29-8-1, 14 KOs) to reclaim the vacant British title. Smith floored Dodson in round three but after barely beating the count Dodson fought back furiously. Dodson also suffered a bad cut over his left eye. The bout was stopped in round six to protect Dodson who was reeling from some big shots. Time was 2:31. Smith won the first fight by unanimous decision.
In his debut under the Matchroom Sport banner, unbeaten WBA interim super bantamweight beltholder Scott Quigg (26-0-1, 19 KOs) scored an impressive third round KO over William Prado (21-4-1, 14 KOs). Quigg dropped Prado at the end of round two and finished him with a big right hand in round three.
2012 Olympian jr welterweight Thomas Stalker (5-0, 2 KOs) dropped Gyula Vajda (11-3, 7 KOs) three times in a first round KO.
Jr middleweight Brian Rose (24-1-1, 7 KOs) outpointed Alexey Ribchev (14-7-1, 6 KOs) over ten rounds by a score of 99-93.

Golovkin going to have a real fight on his hands tonight against Macklin
By Graham Houston
WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin has established himself as one of boxing's biggest hitters, but Matthew Macklin is the type of fighter who will face anyone, anywhere, and promises to be punching right back at Golovkin in Saturday's middleweight title bout at the Foxwoods resort in Connecticut (TV coverage on HBO). The scene is set, then, for what should be a gruelling, give-and-take fight with almost a 1950s feel to it. Golovkin the former world amateur champion from Kazakhstan, has blasted his way to 26 consecutive wins with 23 opponents stopped. He hasn't had to go the full distance in the last five years.
Macklin, from Birmingham in the English midlands but with ancestral roots in Ireland, will be making his third middleweight title bid in two years. He fought courageously against Felix Sturm in Germany and Sergio Martinez at the Madison Square Garden theatre, battling Sturm to a draw and leading on points in the early rounds against Martinez before being worn down and stopped late in the fight.
While Golovkin is the prohibitive favourite in the betting, Macklin has a point when he says that he is the biggest, strongest fighter that Golovkin has fought. Macklin certainly looks in superb physical trim, with a ripped physique. "I've never seen him look like this," his New York promoter Lou DiBella told the U.S. media this week. (more…)
Toney awarded decision over Lemos after initially being announced as the loser
Former multi-division world champion James "Lights Out" Toney (75-8-3, 45 KOs) won a bizarre eight round unanimous decision over 291-pound Colorado fighter Kenny Lemos (12-8-2, 8 KOs) on Friday night at the Sky Ute Casino Event Center in Ignacio, Colorado. The 44-year-old Toney won a mostly uneventful fight by scores of 77-75, 77-75 and 79-73, however Lemos was initially announced as the winner and the scene turned into a near riot when the decision was corrected and Toney was called back to the ring to be proclaimed the winner. Toney had to be held back from attacking a heckler at one point.
On the undercard: Geraldo Quintana (3-0-1, 2 KOs), of Hobbs, and Cris Leyva (2-0) fought a five-round draw; Colorado's Zamir Young (0-1) won a unanimous decision over Grant John (1-1) of Shiprock, N.M.; Jazzma Hogue (3-5-1) of Fruitland, N.M., ended his five-bout losing streak with a five-round unanimous decision over Denver's Raymond Nichol (3-2-1, 2 Kos); Shiprock's Steve Victor (1-3-1) dropped a five-round split decision to Denver's Carlos Sanchez (6-4, 2 Kos); and Denver's Ronnie Reams (2-2) won a five-round unanimous decision over Suanitu Hogue (0-3).

Proving no cat's paw for undefeated Cristian "El Puma" Cabral, veteran Joe "Ironman" Gomez wielded a heavy, iron hand last night in Albuquerque. Silencing Cabral's cabal and taming the wildcat that had gone undefeated in six bouts, Gomez showed a loud crowd of 500 at the Convention Center the value of experience, by stopping his younger, faster foe inside five frames.
With just four bouts on the card, billed as "Aztec Warriors," the Chavez Promotions billing might've been a bare bones show, but the main event was the first true pick 'em fight of the year in New Mexico. The local showdown between a veterano and an unbeaten comer became the talk of the town – well, in the fight community anyway. Renewing a commitment to stage competitive bouts, Chavez upheld his end of the bargain, at least in three of the four fights . . . Click here for more

O'Connor back in the ring tonight at Foxwoods
By Matt Thompson
Jr. welterweight contender Danny O'Connor (20-1, 7 KOs) continues his campaign toward a shot at the world title as he takes on tough Albuquerque native Hector Munoz in an off-tv bout this Saturday on the undercard of the Matthew Macklin-Gennady Golovkin middleweight title fight at Foxwoods Resort and Casino. O'Connor, who last fought in January at the Boston Garden, is excited to be back in the ring, especially close to home.
"I've been in training camp in Houston for two months so I'm very happy to be coming home to fight," said O'Connor. "I injured my elbow in the Silveira fight at the Boston Garden in January, and had surgery. It was eight weeks of recovery and physical therapy, then off to camp to get ready for Foxwoods. It'll be great fighting here, so close to home. Nothing makes me happier than to have my fans, friends, and family be able to come to my fights."
O'Connor, a member of the 2008 US Olympic Team, has boxed at a steady pace since turning pro in 2009, with this being his longest layoff. O'Connor hopes to keep busy through 2013 and soon break the top ten. (more…)

The world number seven finished last season with a win and is confident he will add a few more trophies to his cabinet this year.
"This is my seventh season in a row where I started Abu Dhabi so I am really excited and really excited to be back here," said McIlroy.
"I have played well here before, I had a couple of chances to win and have not quite got over the line but it is a golf course that I really like and hopefully I can do well this week.
"I expect myself to be in contention a lot more in tournaments and I only won once last season and by the standards I set myself that is not enough.
"But I feel like I am playing much better and I feel like I am starting the season on a good solid base and hopefully I get off to a fast start and keep it going from there."

Sign up for Emergency Alert System
The university has changed contracts and will be switching to a new Emergency Alert System by Everbridge. Faculty and students who are signed up for the old system should be carried over to the new one, and anyone who is not yet signed up is encouraged to do so.
"The university has entered into a system-wide contract with Everbridge to provide a comprehensive suite of communications services for the Southeastern Emergency Alert System," said Erin Cowser, executive director of Public and Governmental Affairs.
The Emergency Alert System is set up to notify faculty, staff and students when classes are canceled for inclement weather among other special circumstances.
In order to receive Emergency Alert information, all students, faculty and staff are urged to go to the Emergency Notification tab on the bottom left of their LeoNet or Peoplesoft account. All university email addresses are automatically registered in the system; however, in order to receive text, voice or additional email messages, individuals must input their contact information.
Information provided here will only be used for Southeastern Emergency Alert System notifications. All personal information is private and will not be shared.
"The safety and wellbeing of our Southeastern family is of paramount importance," said Cowser. "Making sure your contact information is correctly entered in the Southeastern Emergency Alert System will help us to communicate should threats arise, whether they be weather related or involving a situation of imminent danger."
Everyone is encouraged to include more than one means of contact so that there are multiple ways to receive important information. Students are allowed to include the phone number and email of a parent, guardian or spouse as one of the "other" options if they wish.
The Southeastern Emergency Alert System sends regular test messages to ensure the system is working properly. Otherwise, notices will only be sent to provide information vital to safety and university closures.
After signing up, texts and emails will be sent to confirm registration. These messages will provide instructions that direct users to additional information.
