Boxing - Fury VS Wilder

Deontay Wilder retains WBC heavyweight title by split draw with Tyson Fury - Full Breakdown how it happens.

The fighters are making their walks: Coming out first is Fury, who is making a quite protracted jaunt to a medley of tracks: Jay's Run This Town, Nicki's Moment 4 Life, Gala's Freed From Desire. Pick a song, Tyson!

Here is Wilder: He is the unbeaten WBC champion, enters to a live performance of Jay Rock's WIN complete with pyrotechnics, a full brass band that emerges piecemeal from the various concourses and his championship belt lowering from the rafters.

Wilder entered second, as is customary for the champion: Interestingly, he's being introduced first. Lots of cheers for both men, this crowd is electrifying.

Round 1: They are measuring one another up in the center of the ring. USA! chants from the crowd, Wilder feints and Fury mocks him. Wilder connects with a jab, Fury then puts his hands behind his back, baiting Wilder. Fury lands a few jabs, Fury throws twice to the body and Wilder counters with a left hook and Fury felt it. He's backing up, Fury tries to triple up a left jab but Wilder evades them easily. Fury connects with a big right-hand counter at the end of the round! wow...Right in the last 10 seconds and he raises his arms in jubilation after the bell sounds. Both had their moments in a tense first round but we will give it to Fury. (News Elites unofficial score: Wilder 9-10 Fury)

Round 2: Fury looking more comfortable in there early in the second, he throws a few jabs as he ventures a bit closer into the pocket. He's moving well, now Fury is clowing again, throwing his hands skyward to bait Wilder. Wilder charges in but Fury wraps him up before he can do any damage. Wilder lands a very good right hand at the end of the round, not much landed in this round, it's a very close round that could go either way, but we give it to Wilder. (News Elites unofficial score: Wilder 10-9 Fury)

Round 3: Wilder looking to time Fury, he's not used to fighting opponents who move this well, which makes sense as there aren't many of them at heavyweight. Fury's head movement is excellent too, he's feinting so well, keeping the American off balance and tentative. Nice left hook to the body by Wilder, but Fury is scoring with the jab upstairs. Wilder misses wildly with a sizzling right hand and Fury touches back with a quick flurry of pot-shots to the belly, still not yet a very clear rounds. (News Elites unofficial score: Wilder 9-10 Fury)

Round 4: Becoming cracking atmosphere, Fury moving so well but can he keep it up for a full 12 rounds? Wilder misses again with the right hand and Fury counters with a hook. Fury connects with a jab, jabs again, another jabs, Wilder misses yet again with a big right hand. Fury continues with the more impressive boxing, but when Wilder does land he's landing the heavier punches. A trickle of blood from Fury's nose, I believe Wilder missing so many right hands, is there any plan B? Close round once again goes to Fury. (News Elites unofficial score: Wilder 9-10 Fury)

Round 5: Fury is using that left jab so well, as an offensive weapon, a rangefinder and barricade. Yet one minute into the fifth and already we notice his output is dropping, will the cardio be an issue? Wilder still missing a lot and his eye is beginning to swell, Fury still scoring with the jabs and making Wilder miss. But will he be able to stay clear of that Wilder right hand in the second half if he begins to fade? Wilder tries to steal a very close round in the last 10 seconds with a big one-two combo as he walks Fury into a corner but he misses both shots by a few feet, close one to Fury but Fury needs to do more than make Wilder miss. (News Elites unofficial score: Wilder 9-10 Fury)

Round 6: Fury backs Wilder down with a combination, he's much busier this round and Wilder looks tentative. Fury controlling entire stretches of the fight with his jab, Wilder lands a few left jabs cleanly toward the end of the round, including one sharp one. We are only halfway through the scheduled 12 round distance but I believe Wilder is in trouble on the scorecards and in danger of needing something special to win this fight. (News Elites unofficial score: Wilder 9-10 Fury)

 Round 7: Wilder's eye is swelling, it appears he has no Plan B: he's just hoping Fury walks into a shot and so far it's not happening. A big right hand over the top for Fury! Oh wonderful, Wilder appears to have landed something and Fury falls backward and the American comes to life, swinging wildly at Fury as he's backed along the ropes. But Fury smartly wraps his opponent up and stems the tide, this is looking bad for Wilder, Fury just making him miss everything and doing enough to win rounds uncontroversial. (News Elites unofficial score: Wilder 9-10 Fury)

Round 8: This is some performance by Fury, a comprehensive boxing lesson. Fury beginning to land the right hand upstairs with more consistency, Wilder simply being exposed and it doesn't seem like his corner has any answers. Another for Fury, who continues to showboat. (News Elites unofficial score: Wilder 9-10 Fury)

Round 9: Wilder lands a right hand and down goes Fury in a heap! Fury down in the ninth, wow there it is, Fury beats the count and smartly wraps up Wilder as he comes in for the finish. We have got a fight right here, Wilder looks like he's hurt, both men exhausted, Fury's bearings clearly back.
(News Elites unofficial score: Wilder 10-8 Fury)

Round 10: Fury lands a big right on Wilder early in the 10th round, he's now throwing that left jab with authority again, coming forward with it. He's doubting it up, he's tripling it up, Wilder badly needed that knockdown but in a strange way watching this first minute it seems Fury did nothing. Wilder seems a bit gassed from the last round, he's not throwing anything much here, Fury throws a big left-right combo but misses, good rally by Wilder at the end but not enough, what a rebound for the Gypsy King. (News Elites unofficial score: Wilder 9-10 Fury)

Round 11: Fury continues to jab away, Wilder needs a knockout, and Fury still boxing so well, simply not accommodating his opponent. He's just making him miss again and again with deft head and upper-body movement, coolly picking his shots in response. Wilder's power bailed him out when he was outboxed by Szpilka and Ortiz: can it bail him out here? Good left hook by Wilder but not enough to under another impressive stanza by Fury, who is one round away from completing a truly incredible comeback from the abyss. (News Elites unofficial score: Wilder 9-10 Fury)

Round 12: Fury down in the 12th round, is he going to beat the count? I don't think so! I don't think he will beat the count, but Fury makes it to his feet somehow. The referee lets him continue, Fury hanging on for dear life, unbelievable. Wilder going in for the finish but Fury holding, what heart by both guys and now Wilder looks gassed, back and forth they and there's the final bell. (News Elites unofficial score: Wilder 10-8 Fury)

The Official Scores: Alejandro Rochin of Mexico scores the bout 115-111 to Wilder. Robert Tapper of Canada has it 114-110 to Wilder. Phil Edwards of the United Kingdom scores it 113-113. It's a split draw, Wilder retains the title on a draw, let the inquest begin.

Scientist Who Built NASA'S Latest Spacecraft To Land On Mars Is A Ghanaian

Dr. Ashitey Trebi-Ollennu is the chief engineer of a team formed to design robots for NASA missions at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Canada Flintridge, California, United States.

A spacecraft belonging to America's National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) landed on Mars on Monday, November 26, 2018. 

The spacecraft which is called InSight is expected to study the Mars' underworld, listening for marsquakes and seeking clues about the dusty world's formation.

The team lead for InSight at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is Ghanaian. Dr. Ashitey Trebi-Ollennu is the chief engineer of a team formed to design robots for NASA missions at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Canada Flintridge, California, United States.

Former US President George H. W. Bush Dies At Age 94

Former US president George Herbert Walker Bush has passed at the age of 94 years, his family announced in a statement on Friday.   

The World War II veteran was elected the 41st President of United States and father of the 43rd, was a steadfast force on the international stage for decades, from his stint as an envoy to Beijing to his eight years as vice president and his one term as commander in chief from 1989 to 1993. 

The last veteran of World War II to serve as president, he was a consummate public servant and a statesman who helped guide the nation and the world out of a four - decade Cold War that had carried the threat of nuclear annihilation.

His death, at 94 on November 30, also marked the passing of an era.

Although Mr. Bush served as president nearly three decades ago, his values and ethics seem centuries removed from today's acrid political culture. His currency of personal connection was the handwritten letter.

He had a competitive nature and considerable ambition that were not easy to discern under the sheen of his New England politesse and his earnest generosity. He was capable of running hard edge political campaigns, and he took the nation to war. But his principal achievements were produces at negotiating tables.

When the word moderation becomes a dirty word, we have some soul searching to do, he wrote a friend in 1964, after losing his first bid for the elective office.

[George H. W. Bush's Oval Office successors praise him as a dedicated public servant]

Despite his grace, Mr. Bush was an easy subject for caricature. He was an honors graduate of Yale University who often at a loss for words in public, especially when it came to talking about himself. Though he was tested in combat when he was barely out of adolescence, he was branded "a wimp" by those who doubted that he had essential convictions.

This paradox in the public image of Mr. Bush dogged him, as did domestic events. His lack of sure-footedness in the face of a faltering economy produced a nose-dive in the soaring popularity he enjoyed after the triumph of the Persian Gulf War. In 1992, he lost his bid for second term as president.

"It's a mixed achievement," said presidential historian Robert Dallek. "Circumstances and his ability to manage them did not stand up to what the electorate wanted."

His death was announced in a tweet by Jim McGrath, his spokesman. The cause of his death was not immediately available. In 2012, he announced that he had vascular parkinsonism, a condition that limited his mobility. His wife of 73 years, Barbara Bush, died on April 17, 2018.

The afternoon before his wife service, the frail former president summoned the strength to sit for 20 minutes in his wheelchair before her flower-laden coffin and accept condolences from some of the 6,000 people who lined up to pay their respects at St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Houston.

Mr. Bush reached the Oval Office under the towering, sharply defined shadow of Ronald Reagan, onetime rival whom he had served as vice president.

No president before had arrived with his breadth of experience: decorated Navy pilot, successful oil executive, congressman, United Nations delegate, Republican Party chairman, envoy to Beijing, director of central intelligence.

Over the course of a single term that began January 20, 1989, Mr. Bush found himself at the helm of the world's only remaining superpower. The Berlin Wall fell; the Soviet Union ceased to exist; the communist bloc in Eastern Europe broke up; the Cold War ended.

His firm, restrained diplomatic sense helped assure the harmony and peace with which these world-shaking events played out, one after the other.

In 1990, Mr. Bush went so far as to proclaim a "new world order" that would be "free from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit of justice and more secure in the quest for peace - a world in which nations recognize the shared responsibility for freedom and justice. A world where the strong respect the rights of the weak."

Mr. Bush's presidency was not at swords-to plowshares. He ordered an attack on Panama in 1989 to overthrow strongman Manuel Antonio Noriega. After Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in the summer of 1990, Mr. Bush put together a 30-nation coalition backed by a U.N mandate and including the Soviet Union and several Arab countries that routed the Iraqi forces with unexpected ease in a ground war that lasted only 100 hours.

However, Mr. Bush decided to leave Hussein in power, setting up what is widely regarded as the worst and most fateful decision of his son's presidency a dozen years later.

In the wake of that 1991 victory, Mr. Bush's approval at home approached 90 percent. It seemed the country had finally achieved the catharsis it needed after Vietnam. A year and a half later, only 29 percent of those polled gave Mr. Bush a favorable rating, and just 16 percent thought the country was headed in the right direction. A true servant of his country, may his soul rest in peace.
