Anthony Smith was one of the most recent fighters to give his take on the YouTube star’s venture into the ring. He admitted that Paul was a decent fighter. But he believes ‘The Problem Child’ still has a long way to go before he can be recognized as a legitimate threat. While Jake Paul has admitted that he would like to fight worthy opponents, we are yet to see any action on that front....
Dr. Barbara Ferrer’s Echo Park home was surrounded by dozens of demonstrators, carrying placards, waving flags and chanting: “Open L.A.” and “No science. No data. No shutdown”. Footage from the scene shows few people in the crowd were wearing face masks as they paced up and down the street. LAPD officers could be seen over looking the scene with a police vehicle parked in what appears to be Ferrer’s driveway....
The anti-vaxxers were seemingly confused about the location of the health committee hearing on S2175, legislation designed to stem the spread of disease by disallowing any exemptions not based on genuine medical concerns. The activists arrived instead at a transit hearing and refused to leave after officials told them they were in the wrong place, according to journalist Daniel Munoz, who posted videos of the incident to Twitter. The videos show a large number of people seated in the meeting hall, apparently unaware or unwilling to acknowledge that they are in the wrong place....
Griezmann is reportedly ready to join Spanish giants Barca after confirming on Tuesday that he will leave Atletico following five years in Madrid. The 28-year-old French World Cup winner spurned a move to Camp Nou 11 months ago but a blockbuster transfer to Ernesto Valverde’s side appears back on. However, Antic – who guided Atletico to LaLiga and Copa del Rey success in 1996 – cast doubt over star Griezmann’s potential switch....
Brown took a few strides, caught the pass and ran behind Justin Hunter’s block for a 31-yard touchdown with 10 seconds left Sunday and yet another improbable — and entirely predictable — victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers’ 28-21 win made it eight straight and counting over their AFC North rival. “We’ve been in that situation a lot, and I knew we were going to do it,” Brown said....
Davis played in the NBA for 13 years, and says players feel comfortable attacking James — mentally and physically — because there’s no retaliation. James got in an altercation with Draymond Green in Game 4 and said the Warriors forward called him a “b—.” MORE: LeBron was wise to get Draymond suspended, but now what? “Guys don’t fear what this guy will do to them. When I’m watching, I want to call him that sometimes," Davis said....
Troops launched raids against prominent politicians in the early hours of Monday, detaining de-facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and others. Tensions had been growing between the military and the civilian government, particularly since elections in November saw Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy win a landslide victory. The military made its move ahead of the first session of parliament since the election, due to be held this week....
However, this one is a little different than the original monoliths that people first discovered in November. For one, it appears to be made of cardboard or plastic and painted metallic, rather than being made of actual metal like the first monoliths. Then there’s the fact that it’s located right in the center of Houston, Texas, and not in a remote desert or on an isolated mountaintop. Local news station KPRC-TV, an NBC affiliate, first reported on the monolith in the central neighborhood of Houston Heights on December 30, noting that residents first reported its existence about a week earlier....
MODOK was introduced in 1967, and he swiftly became a reoccurring villain for Captain America. He gradually became a more general all-purpose enemy for the entire Marvel cast, but he remained a relatively obscure figure. His growth in popularity is largely due to other media appearances, like his slot in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, his role in the recent Avengers game, and his Hulu solo series.

According to a tweet from Anthem’s lead producer, Ben Irving, should players decide to go it alone in the game, BioWare has designed it so that it will be easier for casual players to get teamed up with groups for any of the content available. The inclusion of matchmaking for all activities should definitely be a handy feature for solo Freelancers, particularly when it comes to encountering the title’s more demanding endgame content such as its raids and dungeon-like experiences....
Due to this, BioWare’s head of live service Chad Robertson directly addressed the issues, dismissing the originally thought server capacity errors. Instead, Robertson revealed that Anthem’s plagued opening came as a result of three key areas: platform connections, entitlements, and infinite loads. And Robertson went on to show an apology gift that players will receive at launch because of these issues. Although BioWare has been testing Anthem for months now, certain aspects of these issues were missed because it was not set in a real-world environment....
The ruling, issued by former federal judge Daniel Weinstein, came a day after Fury announced on Twitter that his all-British heavyweight unification bout with Joshua was “100 percent done” for Aug. 14 in Saudi Arabia. That fight, which would have granted the division its first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis in 2000, is now in danger of being delayed if Fury can’t get Wilder to agree to reschedule. Joshua (24-1, 22 KOs) called Fury out on Twitter, saying he used his name for clout....
Joshua was due to face the Bulgarian at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in June for the defense of his IBF, WBA and WBO world titles, but the fight was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.

It has now been confirmed Joshua will his face mandatory challenger in his first fight in England for over two years, marking his return to the ring since defeating Andy Ruiz Jr....
The scene suggests that Roe v. Wade could be overturned, given that Kennedy, who was the swing vote in upholding the nation’s abortion-rights law in 1992’s Planned Parenthood v. Casey decision, is no longer on the court. It’s an ironic scene because the anti-abortion movie was produced by Kennedy’s niece, Elizabeth Kennedy-Ryzewicz. While the movie has been available for several months on the Salem Now streaming platform, Kennedy-Ryzewicz has so far not promoted it, until speaking to Newsweek....
Abbott, a Republican, tested positive on Tuesday but is not experiencing symptoms. He is fully vaccinated and is self-isolating at the governor’s mansion.

Rabbis from the synagogue wrote about the vandalism in an email today which said while the damage was not extensive and would be fixed quickly, “events like this can throw even the toughest person into a tailspin.” “Given the current climate,” the email continued, “we unfortunately are not surprised by this happening. Anti-semitic attacks are on the rise, as are hate crimes against all marginalized communities.” “In these moments, it’s important to remember that it is not a shame but an honor to be a Jew,” added the email....
The billboards featuring a picture of the Republican next to the insult have appeared around his Houston neighborhood and even passed by the Senator’s home, according to a tweet shared by activist group Really American PAC. The group shared a series of tweets that showed the mobile billboard driving near the Senator’s house and asked for financial contributions to “help us stay in Cruz neighborhood, follow him to church and more....
Antonis has been integral to the Wanderers’ late surge after joining on loan in December, with Western Sydney having gone unbeaten in the final six rounds of the regular season to finish sixth and secure an elimination final against Brisbane Roar. Just a week after the 23-year-old made his Wanderers debut in January, Tony Popovic’s side slumped to eighth in the A-League table but Antonis’ partnership with Kearyn Baccus in central midfield has seen the Red-and-Black turn their form around....
Asia watchers expressed feelings of relief after learning of Biden’s foreign policy picks, among them Blinken at the State Department and Jake Sullivan as national security adviser. But key personnel such as Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines and China experts Kurt Campbell and Ely Ratner are also expected to help the president make consistent decisions at home and abroad. Crucially, when it comes to the U.S. approach to China, analysts in Beijing appear to have realized that the Biden administration will maintain many of the same policies as former President Donald Trump....
