Haye stops Chisora in 5th round This was the grudge match with genesis in a brawl, 5 months ago-after Chisora lost to Vitali Klitschko Haye's explosive hand speed was all it took to see off the heavier but sluggish Chisora. The bout was very unpopular among the boxing authorities because of the disgraceful antecedents. but the 30000 capacity Upton Park Arena was sold out anyway. Haye won and that's that!
The Amazing Spider Man Saw the flick today-a reboot of the Spider-Man film franchise. It looks at the story from a slightly different angle and is quite relatable. Decent effort with Andrew Garfield as Spider Man this time, and Emma Stone cast as Gwen Stacy-his love interest. Worth watching.
Wimbledon Men's Semi final-Vintage Federer! Roger Federer advanced to his eight Wimbledon final by beating world No 1, Novak Djokovic-6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3. It was a masterclass performance by the greatest of all time tennis player (GOAT) in my opinion. He barely broke sweat in beating the World number 1. Federer has now won 8 out of 8 Wimbledon semifinals, reached his 24th Grand slam final and 8th Wimbledon final-a record! What an Athlete!
If he wins on Sunday, he'll become No 1 again. The eulogies have continued to flow on Twitter-example: Oh Tennis, your beauty is safe in the hands of Roger Federer!! Couldn't have said it better!
You've got to doff your hat at the intelligence of people like Peter Higgs, Professor Emeritus of Physics University of Edinburgh.
In 1964:
'.....At Edinburgh Higgs first became interested in mass, developing the
idea that particles were massless when the universe began, acquiring mass a
fraction of a second later as a result of interacting with a theoretical field
(which became known as the Higgs Fi). Higgs postulated that this field permeates space, giving all elementary
subatomic particles that interact with it their mass' Of course, Higgs couldn't prove this then. But today, 48 years later, news reveal that CERN scientists at the Large Hadron Collider. (LHC) have claimed the discovery of a new particle consistent with the Higgs boson-the so-called'God' particle Try taking the next Nobel prize in Physics from this amazing man!!
Euro 2012-Spain retains title Spain retained their Euro title yesterday with an emphatic thumping of hapless Italy. It was a performance of sheer masterclass as the Spanish lived up to their name: La Furia Roja ( The Red Fury) It was as though they felt irritated by all the 'boring play' criticisms of the last 2 weeks and they came out with guns blazing! All their big stars- Xavi, Fabregas, David Silva and, man of the match, Iniesta performed on the night. The Italians had no chance. They also made history by being the first team to win 3 consecutive major titles-the Euros in '08, the World Cup in 2010 and now this! Watch highlights of the match below
