Speaking with the media before his fight, Canelo talked about fighting at light heavyweight again. In 2019, Canelo moved from middleweight to light heavyweight to face Sergey Kovalev. Against the taller, older Kovalev, Canelo beat him via knockout in the 11th round. He now faces another 31-year-old fighter in Bivol. Canelo believes Bivol will be tougher to defeat. “The difference? The fighter,” Canelo stated when comparing Kovalev to Bivol. “The fighter (Bivol) brings more of a challenge for me....

Alvarez (56-1-2, 38 KOs) picked up the WBO belt when he beat Billy Joe Saunders in a knockout earlier this year. He now is the holder of the WBA, WBC, WBO and The Ring belts in the super middleweight class. That leaves just the IBF left to claim, and he’ll have a challenge to bring it home. The current holder of the belt is Caleb Plant, who enters the fight with an undefeated 21-0 record with 12 knockouts....

Last week, the hacker group Ragnar Locker attempted to compromise Capcom’s data with ransomware. Unfortunately, the attempt was successful, and a lot of data was stolen. Capcom released an official statement soon after the hack, confirming it was looking into what had been stolen. A ransom has been issued to Capcom for $11 million in bitcoin and the company is struggling to discover what was taken. A recent statement by Capcom provides an update, outlining in more detail what was compromised....

The veteran Italian boss took over in June 2017, and helped the club evade the threat of relegation, eventually leading them to a 12th-place finish in the 16-team top flight. However, Jiangsu confirmed reports that Capello has departed the club, writing on the club’s official website: “After friendly negotiations between the two sides, the contract between Fabio Capello and Suning Football Club has ended early and Mr. Capello will no longer serve as head coach....

NEWSWEEK: How do interrogations today differ from the World War II programs you studied? Steven Kleinman: There was a program at Fort Hunt … a really fascinating program, very thoughtful, very systematic approach to interrogating very senior German military officers, government officials, technical experts, people that they had captured overseas. They would often go through four, maybe five levels of screening before they finally met the standards that these people would call special interrogation....

His borrow-and-spend budget even shortchanges some of his alleged priorities. Money for medical research is flat-lined, barely keeping up with inflation. Funding for his “No child left behind” education bill is scaled back. Other assistance programs in Africa are raided to pay for Bush’s pledge to fight AIDS in Africa. Add to this the states that are looking to Congress for help, and it’s a very sobering time for Democrats and Republicans alike....

Horan is a huge fan of Championship side Derby County, where Bamford was on loan, and repeatedly kept an eye on the forward on the behest of Mourinho. ‘Niall from One Direction is a big Derby fan, he came down to the club and I was talking to him,’ Bamford says. ‘Niall said: “Mourinho knows all about you, he texts me all the time.” I said: “No he doesn’t.” He showed me his phone, and because he was doing his treatment at Chelsea, for his knee injury, he knew all the Chelsea boys and Mourinho....

The Portuguese tactician endured a tough few weeks following Spurs’ recent slump in form. A run of three games without a win saw the north London club drop from the top of the Premier League table to outside the top four. However, Tottenham Hotspur returned to winning ways over the weekend when they thumped Leeds United 3-0, moving them to fourth on the Premier League table. All attention has now been turned to the Carabao Cup as Mourinho aims to win his first major piece of silverware with Tottenham Hotspur....

The former club president believes that Zidane has a tough task ahead of him and wished him good luck in his new role. “I wish Zidane all the best but I’m sure it’s going to be very difficult. He is not the one that the President (Perez) wanted,” he said. However, Calderon claims that Perez wanted Mourinho over Zidane and said, “He was trying to sign Mourinho and he didn’t want Zidane....

While the numbers have seen an uptick, those have effectively translated into results. The Buffalo Bills have been in the playoffs twice in three seasons with Allen and have come within one game of the Super Bowl. Having proven his credentials, Josh Allen is now set to hit the mother lode. Salary cap woes Josh Allen may be in for a hefty paycheck, but the Buffalo Bills are in an awkward position, cap space-wise....

The Browns’ patience in the highly skilled, still-young receiver paid off in Los Angeles on Sunday. Cleveland didn’t get its first win of the season, but it didn’t take long for the team to find out it has a true No. 1 wideout again. Gordon, 26, was undaunted by a good Chargers secondary featuring the NFL’s best cornerback in Casey Hayward. Gordon showed the same hands, toughness and speed that allowed him to lead the league in receiving yards (1,646) in 2013....

Hamilton’s return to the Rangers, so far, evokes old clichés: storybook, something to behold, a fallen star’s redemption and resurgence. Caveats apply. It’s early. Hamilton has played only seven games since the Angels practically paid Texas to take him. And Hamilton’s small sample size stat line of .238/.360/.571 won’t inspire the re-emergence of “M-V-P” chants in Arlington.

The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), a labor union, organized Tuesday’s protest. There was a gathering outside the federal courthouse by Hawley’s St. Louis office calling on him to resign. Cars also circled the building six times, once for each of those whose deaths were linked to last week’s unrest at the U.S. Capitol. Some protesters at the event said that he “has blood on his hands,” KSDK reported....

Over the course of the series, Josh, Tiger and Wolf have gone back and forth through the past, present and future. While Hutcherson won’t give away too many details about exactly how they will save humanity, he does admit it’s his favorite season....

However, there was a sore loser. MORE: Redskins-Bengals stats | Week 8 scoreboard Redskins cornerback Josh Norman couldn’t concede that he is human. That arguably the NFL’s best wide receiver — A.J. Green — made him look bad at times. That he dropped two interceptions, at least one of which could easily have been returned for a touchdown. That he might be solely responsible for the five penalties drawn trying to keep Green from getting the best of him....

Still, the flaws in Smith’s game always make discussion before his talents. Sure, he spent a lot of time on the perimeter on offense, but he’s a career 28.5 percent 3-point shooter. Sure, he’s solid in the paint — good even — but that only accounts for about half the shots he takes. The other half of his shots (mid-range and out) are low-percentage shots for Smith historically.

When they were just 17 years old, Cain Joshua Storey and Darrell Lee Clark, were wrongfully convicted of the death of 15-year-old Brian Bowling. The teenager died from a gunshot wound to the head in 1996 that investigators in Rome, Georgia quickly ruled as accidentally self-inflicted after he’d told his girlfriend on the phone he was playing Russian Roulette with a gun. But within six months Storey and Clark were arrested for plotting to kill Bowling and sentenced to life in prison....

A spokesperson for the Utah County Sheriff’s Office’s confirmed to Salt Lake City-based KSL-TV that the man was arrested on December 14, one day after the channel’s website published an investigation revealing Homer had sexually assaulted several women over the past ten years, but his sentences amounted to less than a month in jail altogether. According to the Utah-based TV station, Homer has been arrested at least nine times during his life for cases involving domestic violence and sex crimes....
