If Tyson Fury follows through on his intention to retire, the final punch of his career may wind up being his best. Fury hit an oncoming Dillian Whyte with a stiff jab and immediately followed it with a blazing right uppercut. The right landed on the point of the chin and Whyte was immediately out cold, doing a dead fall backward. He managed to get up but staggered into the corner and referee Mark Lyson waved it off at 2:59 of the sixth round in front of a deliriously happy crowd of 94,000… Source link

Hill caught Walker with a crushing right hand to the temple that beat Walker’s jab to the mark. Walker did a dead fall backward, but Hill was so quick, he got to Walker before the referee. Hill landed another right to the chin… Source link

The buy-the-dip crowd is circling the markets like a hungry shark does a wounded whale after a brutal January. “The equity market sell-off is overdone in our view, and we reiterate our call to buy the dip, particularly in cyclicals and small caps,” said JPMorgan strategist Marko Kolanovic in a new research note.  That is easier said than done for most investors following a tough start to the year for markets. The S&P 500 index sold off to the tune of 5.3% in January, marking its worst monthly… Source link

Severe supply chain disruptions forebode a “brutal winter” for markets, which could suffer from heightened uncertainty if Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling well ahead of a December deadline, Citigroup (C) CEO Jane Fraser told Yahoo Finance at its All Markets Summit on Monday.  She expressed optimism that the supply-demand imbalance could pass next year, but acknowledged that disruptions “could become more sustainable.”  “We’re probably in for a bit of a brutal winter, particularly in… Source link

Haffey/Getty Images) LA Lakers fans are fearing the worst after Anthony Davis went down injured before the Phoenix Suns levelled their series with a 100-92 victory in Game 4.

Federal Reserve officials this week reiterated their support for loose monetary policy and downplayed the threat of inflation, despite a recent report that showed in April the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased at its fastest rate in more than a decade. The stay-the-course approach from Fed officials defies criticism from some economists on the left and right over fears of a persistent spike in inflation that could derail the economic recovery. Such critics rightly worry about continued… Source link

A disgruntled neighbour has left a brutal note for a couple after a few too many fights kept them awake. A picture of the note was shared to Reddit, with the caption saying: “When your neighbours are exhausted of your fighting, it’s time to reflect on some things.” The person who shared the photo added they did not take it.  The note appears to be stuck to a wall and addressed to the neighbours in 9S. The neighbour advised the female in the relationship to “dump” her partner. The neighbour left… Source link

A brutal note sparked by an unfortunate oversight has made for a family’s sour introduction to a new neighbourhood. In the midst of moving into a new home in Avondale, in New Zealand’s Central Auckland area, the family’s newly installed alarm system incorrectly sounded one night and apparently kept their new neighbours awake.  The family were that night staying in their former home in Waterview, about two kilometres away, and having not met anyone in Avondale yet, could not be contacted nor… Source link
