LMAO, remember his entrance.. that was the best, the guy wore a sumbraro! everyone at the bar started cheering and laughing

the fight was mildly entertaining.. wasn't too much awesome action. Mayweather was joking around for a bit, smiling, dancing around, and he didn't use his right till the end of the 4th round.

i wanted to see a knockdown :(

He is retired now...all those belts vacant... :pinch:

He does not hold all those belts currently, they are part of the collection that he won over the years.

Mayweather is a boxer. He didn't show the heart of a lion against a solid champion in DLH. DLH had to be the aggressor all night or we may not have even watched a fight at all. Mayweather proved to be faster and have more wind in the end.

Did anyone see the announcement for Hopkins vs. Wright? Could be the first time Wright gets knocked out in his career.

Hopkins still has it I think...those matches against Taylor were weak but after he duffed up Tarver he looked good again...

I agree. At the end it was Speed vs Power (heart). I think that DLH did stand a chance, if not a big one.

Changing your trainer before that magnitude of a fight is a bad decision but i would have done the same.

I was gonna stay up and watch this but thought against it in the end because I just felt Mayweather would win...and I was right oh well Hoya can now go away with a nice massive paycheck and his head held up high and retire or maybe theres a rematch in the golden boy? :D

This was the rematch

Mayweather is pound for pound one of the best 'boxers' I've had the privilege of watching. Imagine if he had the grit like Paquiao. That would be the toughest fighter ever.

What I hate about Mayweather is he is a role model for quite a few misguided kids. The boy has no integrity. Mayweather won, but it did not increase his fan base unfortunately.

Hopkins still has it I think...those matches against Taylor were weak but after he duffed up Tarver he looked good again...

Its rare to see such a huge 'quit' expression on a boxer's face up close in a professional fight. Tarver lost huge in the mental department. Hopkins put a whooping on him.

Seems Mayweather may not be hanging up the gloves...

Floyd Mayweather's uncle and trainer says his nephew is unlikely to quit boxing following his defeat of Oscar de la Hoya in Las Vegas on Saturday.

The 30-year-old Mayweather immediately reiterated his intention to retire following his split decision win.

But Roger Mayweather said: "Floyd ain't quitting. Too much of this money will make a dead man walk.

"If I'm Oscar de la Hoya, I'm thinking, 'Why not fight Floyd again? Look at the money we made.'"

De la Hoya, 34, reportedly made ?12.5m for the contest at the MGM Grand and Mayweather ?5m, and that before pay-per-view revenues have been counted.

If Mayweather does keep his word, he will become only the third fighter in history, after Rocky Marciano and Mexican strawweight Ricardo Lopez, to retire as an undefeated and globally recognised world champion.

Mayweather's mind might be made up by the decision of De la Hoya, who has been told by his business partner and closest confidant Richard Schaefer to go home and give his future careful consideration.

Schaefer said: "Oscar is such a great champion, he gave the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world an amazing fight.

"What he needs to do is get some distance from this fight, and see what he wants to do.

"A great champ like Oscar deserves when he retires for it to be his decision, and his only. If he retires, he does so off a great performance. Oscar has nothing left to prove."

Mayweather's split-decision win may only have been questioned in the most vociferously pro-De la Hoya quarters, but it effectively gives a mandate for another meeting.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      We do it all the time on our IT Service desk mailbox to add a reference, in the subject line, once it's been logged and then it's filed into the appropriate sub-folder. Other companies probably do the same thing.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
