Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez beats Daniel Jacobs to unify middleweight division


Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez unified the middleweight division with a points victory over Daniel Jacobs in Las Vegas.
The Mexican – now beaten just once in 55 fights – took Jacobs’ IBF belt to add to his own WBC and WBA titles.
Judges scored the fight 115-113, 115-113, 116-112 in Canelo’s favour after 12 rounds.
And the scorecard reflected Canelo’s improved defence and counterattacking skills in his return to 160lb.
The 28-year-old became a three-weight world champion when moving up a division to face England’s Rocky Fielding last year, but he returned to middleweight to face New Yorker Jacobs, 32, in what was his second bout of a reported £278m deal with streaming service DAZN.
Canelo was busy in the early rounds but Jacobs grew into the fight and landed a heavy left hook in the ninth which the Mexican’s chin stood up to.
“He’s a tremendous champion, I take my hat off to him,” said Jacobs – known as the ‘Miracle Man’ after returning to the ring and becoming a champion following cancer.

Trump, in Japan, says Tokyo has ‘substantial’ trade advantage over US

President Trump on Saturday started his four-day visit to Japan by declaring that Tokyo has a “substantial” trade advantage over the U.S. — and that he hopes a future trade agreement will rebalance the situation. Trump, speaking to businessmen at the U.S. ambassador’s residence, hailed the U.S.-Japanese relationship. He said that the countries are “working together to promote mutually beneficial investment.” and that they are working on a bilateral trade deal. JAPAN WELCOMES TRUMP WITH A CHARM CAMPAIGN, GOLF AND SUMO “I would say that Japan has had a substantial edge for many, many years but that’s OK,” he said. “Maybe that’s why you like me so much. “But we’ll get it a little bit more fair,” he added. “I think we’ll do that.” Trump has made rebalancing trading relationships, particularly with China and the European Union, a priority of his administration. He has threatened Japan with tariffs on automobiles and auto parts if Japan does not give ground to the U.S. ...

Aerial photos help census officials pinpoint faraway people

Technology News : The U.S. Census Bureau is using new high-tech tools to help get an accurate population count next year as its faces challenges tallying people of color who live in remote places and can be wary of the federal government.The agency is using aerial photos of rural communities and hard-to-reach areas to verify addresses and determine where to send workers to ensure everyone is counted, Census Bureau Director Steven Dillingham said. Satellites and planes take photos, and bureau employees compare the housing captured in the images to digital maps from the last census, in 2010. It takes a fraction of the time needed by workers in the field. The agency has used geographic technology since 1990 but has never had access to such accurate tools from the air, said Deirdre Dalpiaz Bishop, head of the bureau’s geography division. That technology — known as geographic information system, or GIS — uses computers to analyze neighborhoods, land formations, rivers and oth...

Snakebites: Like having my hand smashed by a hammer’

David Williams has been bitten by a snake six times. “The first time was pretty terrifying because I didn’t know what to expect. It felt like having my hand smashed with a hammer,” he says. “My last snakebite would have been a fatal one, but for the fact we were carrying an emergency medical kit so we could do something about it.” Dr Williams, an expert on snakebites at the World Health Organization (WHO) – who travels the world collecting snake venoms to help develop new treatments – says most victims “don’t have that life-saving luxury”. The WHO calls snakebites “arguably the world’s biggest hidden health crisis”, with one person dying from a bite every four minutes. Hundreds of thousands of others are left seriously disfigured, with many needing amputations. Snakebites mainly affect people living in some of the poorest communities in the poorest parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Farmers risk their lives and livelihoods every day while simply tending to...
