Gennadiy Golovkin made life-changing money for each of his two bouts with Canelo Alvarez, earning an eight-figure paycheck in each, but his career took a decided turn in the wrong direction even though most neutral observers felt he’d won both of the fights. Golovkin and Alvarez fought to a split draw in their first fight, on Sept. 16, 2017, with Golovkin retaining the WBA-WBC middleweight belts. Alvarez won a majority decision in the next outing, on Sept. 15, 2018, and took the titles from… Source link

Disney (DIS) reported second quarter financial results after the bell on Wednesday that missed on both the top and bottom lines, although net additions for its fledging streaming platform Disney+ came in at 7.9 million, well above estimates of 4.5 million. The surprise upswing caused shares to climb as much as 5% in after-hours trading; however, Disney quickly erased those gains during the company’s earnings call in which CFO Christine McCarthy warned on both a tough economic environment as… Source link

The Apple versus Facebook battle is well documented, but the power struggle between the iPhone maker and Google is now gaining pace. Google’s Android has always fallen behind Apple’s iOS in the privacy stakes. It’s not a surprise, since Google’s business model is based on advertising. But Google is now trying to take on Apple in privacy by finally adding features it announced last year into the Play Store via a new safety section that details the data apps collect—much like… Source link

It’s not just that Syracuse didn’t cover. It’s that it never was in danger of not covering, until overtime. Syracuse was an 8- or 8.5-point underdog at BetMGM vs. North Carolina on Monday night, and it almost won straight up. Somehow, the Orange didn’t cover the spread. There are garden-variety bad beats like a meaningless 3-pointer going in at the buzzer, but the worst type of beat might be having a healthy underdog play well for two halves, then somehow not cover in overtime. Syracuse… Source link

The Cincinnati Bengals started playing football in 1968. They had never won a road playoff game before Saturday night.  It seems impossible to go more than 50 years without one road playoff win. But the Bengals stood at 0-7 in those matchups.  Things are changing.  The Bengals, whose last playoff win before this season came in January of 1991, won their second playoff game in a week and are moving on to the AFC championship game with a 19-16 win over the Tennessee Titans, the No. 1 seed in… Source link

Jaxon Smith-Njigba turned in the best receiving performance in bowl game history as No. 6 Ohio State stormed back to beat No. 11 Utah, 48-45, in the Rose Bowl. Smith-Njigba had 347 receiving yards and three touchdowns and what we all thought could be the game-winning score in an incredible throw-and-catch from C.J. Stroud with less than five minutes to go. But it wasn’t. The TD came after Utah QB Cam Rising had to leave the game after his head hit the turf while he was getting sacked. Rising… Source link
