Calzaghe wins! by Split Decision!

Thats crazy! but kudos to him for working hard but I really felt after the first round Hopkins had it!

Yeah I was shaking for the first few rounds after Joe got caught. He was being very cautious and hardly throwing at all, and even when he was he seemed to be getting countered a lot.

Then he started to kick in around round 5, and from then on it was his fight no question. Bernard caught him with the bigger punches, as he reminded us in his interview, but Joe had the combinations and the number, and that's what counts! He also showed he has a great chin, and a superb heart. It was a unanimous win for me. Joe earned that.

First boxing match I've watched in ages. Tell you the truth I was rather anoyed with Hopkins, allways going for the hug and trying to regain some time by claiming low blow a few times.

its because he is a girl... i wonder how he enjoyed losing to a white boy...

As the rounds went on you can see that old father time was catching up with Hopkins so thats why he was doing it.

Calzaghe is saying Roy Jones JR next...could be interesting.

The fight turned out worse than I thought it would be. Hopkins just wasn't throwing enough and Calzaghe slaps/hits like a woman. I'd take Tarver over either one. Jones would be too fast for Cal. I don't think Jones killed anybody recently that has a pulse.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
