Roy Jones Jr. is still very much in the game. I personally stopped caring for the fighter upon finding out he fights dogs and chickens as a side hobby. And makes good money doing that. What kind of crap is that fighting animals?

As a true boxing fan that normally never misses a fight, I dont pay to watch Jones Jr. fight, but this is one fight I truly regret being absent. Its about time someone shuts this loudmouth up. Ill get the tape this week from some of my sucker friends that lined his pocket with moola.

Holy crap! You know there will be a re-match.

Dont think so. Jones stated he really wants to stick with beefing heavyweights. This statement was giving at the press conference after the fight.

Anyways, who wants to see Trinidad come out of retirement to fight Mayorga?

there a downloadable movie of this somewhere? I'm actually quite happy. I used to be a Roy Jones fan till last Tarver fight. Tarver should have won that match, but finally RJJ got what he deserved. Nonetheless RJJ is still good just don't care for him anymore

:whistle: i didnt find the whole fight, but i did find a 6.8 mb movie of the knockout from different angles. look for roy jones knocked the f out from angles or something along those lines :whistle:

and i actually got the fight on pay per view with some friends, so i did get to see it while it happened. it was pretty crazy. tarver just caught him perfectly with a counter left hook. jones was down and that was all she wrote...

some highlights of the fight

? when the referee asked if anyone has any question sin the middle of the ring before the fight, tarver said he did. "do you have any excuses tonight roy?"

? it was also great to see tarver in between rounds 1 an 2 in his corner, saying to his trainer "Do not say the word respect, i got no fu**ing respect for this man"

? after the knockdown, reading roy jones' lips, and the first thing he said to the doctor is "i'm old"

i was, and i am struggling with the fact if i still am, a roy jones fan. it has nothing to do with how he lost, i will still be a fan of someone or a team if they lose (i.e. i am a knicks fan), but it is words after he lost i did not like. the announcers actually said they thought he was being humble, and yeah compared to roy jones of the past maybe he was, but still he really did not give full credit after the fight were credit was due. i just think that was bogus. i know jones has always been a arrogant, egotistical fighter when it came to words, i mean cmon he refers to himself in the third person pint of view, but he could back it up when he was arrogant. oh well he has still provided me with some great boxing moments in the past, and i will still probably pay for a fight if he does decided to move up to heavyweight and fight tyson or who knows who, but i do think jones is pretty much done and should just probably retire.

I think Buddy McGirt (Tarver's trainer) had the plan when he instilled the fact in Tarver that most boxers dont counter Jones and that its a feat quite deployable. Make no mistake, the knockout was no fluke. Jones will do much better in the heavyweights, as long as he dont get "caught". Im betting James Toney has his number.

    • Windows 11 gets more customization, a Recall home page, and more in new builds

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets more customization, a Recall home page, and more in new builds by Taras Buria Microsoft kicks off this Monday with a duo of nearly identical builds for Windows Insiders in the Dev and Beta Channels. Build 26200.5661 (Dev) and 26120.4452 (Beta) are now available for download with two big changes: a new home page for Recall and the recently spotted ability to customize where system indicators appear on the screen. The new Recall home page features more personalized content to help you get back to recent activities. It displays your latest snapshots and a curated view of the top three applications and websites you have spent the most time on in the past 24 hours. Here is what it looks like: In addition, Recall received a new nav bar on the left side of the screen with quick links to Home, Timeline, Feedback, and Settings. The next big addition is the ability to change where system indicators (brightness, volume, and more) appear on the screen. Now, you can set these at the top-left corner or top-center. To adjust this, go to Settings > System > Notifications > Position of the onscreen pop-up. Here are other changes included in today's builds: [Start menu] We are adding a Boolean to the Configure Start Pins policy to allow admins to apply Start menu pins once. This means that a user will receive admin pins on day 0 but can then make any changes to their Start pinned layout and have those safeguarded. These changes can be optionally applied through the existing configuration service provider (CSP). [File Explorer] We are restarting the roll out of AI actions in File Explorer that began rolling out with Build 26120.4151. Some Insiders may have seen the feature disappear. [Settings] In the most recently flights, we have added the country or region selected during device setup under Settings > Time & language > Language & region. Here is what was fixed: [General] Fixed the issue causing the Windows Vista boot sound to play instead of the Windows 11 boot sound. Fixed an issue where the option to reset your PC under Settings > System > Recovery wasn’t working on the previous build. Fixed an underlying issue leading to certain KVM virtual machines unexpectedly failing to boot, showing “UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR”. The Dev build has an extra fix: Fixed the issue causing a small number of Insiders to experience repeated bugchecks with KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE after upgrading to most current Dev Channel builds. Known issues include the following: [General] [IMPORTANT NOTE] When joining the Beta Channel on Windows 11, version 24H2 – you will be offered Build 26120.4250 After installing Build 26120.4250, you will be offered the most recent update available. This 2-hop experience to get onto the latest flight in the Beta Channel is just temporary. After you do a PC reset under Settings > System > Recovery, your build version may incorrectly show as Build 26100 instead of Build 26120. This will not prevent you from getting future Beta Channel updates, which will resolve this issue. Some Windows Insiders may experience a rollback trying to install this update with a 0x80070005 in Windows Update. We’re working on a fix for Windows Insiders impacted. [Start menu] The following are known issues for Windows Insiders with the new Start menu: Using touch to navigate the new Start menu may not work reliably. For example, it currently does not support the swipe-up gesture. Drag and drop capabilities are limited from “All” to “Pinned.” In some cases, duplicate entries may appear in folders on the Start menu. [Xbox Controllers] Some Insiders are experiencing an issue where using their Xbox Controller via Bluetooth is causing their PC to bugcheck. Here is how to resolve the issue. Open Device Manager by searching for it via the search box on your taskbar. Once Device Manager is open, click on “View” and then “Devices by Driver”. Find the driver named “oemXXX.inf (XboxGameControllerDriver.inf)” where the “XXX” will be a specific number on your PC. Right-click on that driver and click “Uninstall”. [Click to Do (Preview)] The following known issues will be fixed in future updates to Windows Insiders: Windows Insiders on AMD or Intel™-powered Copilot+ PCs may experience long wait times on the first attempt to perform intelligent text actions in Click to Do after a new build or model update. [File Explorer] The following are known issues for AI actions in File Explorer: Narrator scan mode may not work properly in the action result canvas window for the Summarize AI action for Microsoft 365 files when reading bulleted lists. As a workaround, you can use Caps + Right key to navigate. [Widgets] Until we complete support for pinning in the new widgets board experience, pinning reverts you back to the previous experience You can find the announcement for the Dev build here and for the Beta build here.

      Doesn't that assume that there is only one potential use-case scenario when in fact there are millions of people who live in urban areas that only require a small fraction of that?
