In a recent interview with ONE Championship, Stamp Fairtex opined that the speed and heavy hands of ‘The Panda’ will likely be too much for Angela Lee to handle: Both Xiong Jing Nan and Angela Lee have squared off on two separate occasions prior to their highly anticipated trilogy bout later this month. In the first meeting, Xiong stopped Lee in the fifth round via TKO to retain her strawweight title....
KANPUR, (Reuters) - The ball was old, the stage set and expectations high but India’s Rohit Sharma again spurned the opportunity to assert his long-form credentials in the first test against New Zealand on Thursday. Often hailed as the next big thing to come out of Mumbai since Sachin Tendulkar, the 29-year-old is an automatic choice in the limited-overs side and the only batsman to score two one-day international double centuries....
My second thought was: why didn’t I invent this? The 24-year-old owner of Perfect Tommy’s, Adam Powers, is making money hand over fist. His establishment used to be a ghost bar on Wednesday nights; since the “Human Bar Fly " era dawned a year ago, it’s been packed. Powers has also sold 30 Velcro-jumping sets to others for $5,000 apiece. A beer-company contract is in the works, as is a Hollywood Perfect Tommy’s....
Following Malaysia U22’s friendly match against Felda United on Tuesday evening, head coach Datuk Ong Kim Swee has spotted one glaring weakness in his side. In the match that was held at the Malaysian FA (FAM) headquarters, the Young Tigers took the lead as early as the third minute through Thanabalan Nadarajah, but the Fighters, who fielded a number of foreign trialists, equalised through recent import returnee Thiago Augusto Fernandes in the 21st minute....

The battle between the two crews took place just a few days after the events of Wano, so fans were expecting Blackbeard and his crew to secure an easy victory as Law struggled to beat Big Mom even though he had support from Eustass Kid. However, the new chapter managed to shock them as the Heart Pirates have been putting a great shift in to stop the Yonko’s crew from stealing their Poneglyphs....
At the end of Alabasta, the crew saw Nico Robin, the key to the One Piece itself, join the crew and this was later followed by the arrival of Franky, a mighty cyborg. Brook, a musician with a keen eye for swordplay, also joined the group shortly before the two-year timeskip. After returning from their training, no further additions were made to the Straw Hat Pirates until the Whole Cake Island arc, where Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, officially joined them....
In One Piece so far, fans have looked forward to the bounties of their favorite characters after each arc since it makes the series more interesting. However, Tony Tony Chopper, the ship doctor of the Straw Hats, is one of the characters that is cheated by the system regarding his actual bounty. Under normal circumstances, this should be a good thing as it cloaks the character’s true capabilities; however, for One Piece fans, Chopper’s true bounty is something to look forward to....

Japan is in a state of emergency because of COVID-19, making it so that the voice-actors for One Piece cannot travel to the studio to do their work.

Earlier today, a new trailer for One Piece Film: Red was revealed to the fans, and while not a full-length trailer, it certainly touched upon some very important things regarding the plot of the film and the importance of several characters that take part in it, such as Uta, Gordon, Shanks, and the Straw Hat Pirates. The trailer also raised quite a few questions in the minds of the fans and made sure the curiosity and excitement remains extremely high....
This leak comes from noted Xbox insider Klobrille, who made the claims on ResetEra all the way back in 2018. Many assumed that Klobrille was saying that the games mentioned would be announced during Microsoft’s E3 2018 press conference, but the thread in question was actually about the future of Microsoft’s games in general. It’s possible then that these projects, assuming they exist, have been in development for years now and could potentially be shown at the Xbox Series X July 23 event....
For seniors, the stakes could not be higher, nor the choice clearer. “The Social Security you paid for from the time you had a job is on the ballot. Your right to vote is on the ballot. Even the democracy. Are you ready to fight for these things now?” said President Joe Biden at an August rally in Maryland. The president was not exaggerating. Democrats have made earnest efforts to boost Social Security and Medicare in the 117th Congress—and to shore up the finances of both programs....
Although to many fans this appeared to be nothing but a pipe dream, it was revealed nearly that Wilde had officially signed on to develop and direct a brand-new Marvel movie for Sony. Wilde’s vision for the film was contingent on one rule, that the film she would be making for them would be completely told and centered around a female character and her overall perspective. For fans of Wilde, this requirement of female inclusivity shouldn’t come as a surprise given that her film Booksmart also focused on two female leads....

They probably will disgust me, but fears should be faced and, hey, we slow down to watch car accidents, right? “There are definitely some places we go in the world, and wildlife is prevalent, and you see some different stuff than you’re used to seeing in the United States,” said Team USA golfer Rickie Fowler....
You thought I was going to lend my fingers to the acres of criticism of the pairs judging, but the worst thing about Monday night’s highway robbery of Canadians David Pelletier and Jamie Sale was how NBC’s announcers botched the coverage of the first “controversy” of this year’s Olympic Games. To recap, Russian skaters Yelena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze did a good job, but Sikharulidze stumbled coming out of a double axel (a double axel!...
Here’s how it’s going so far. This week’s luge events ended with a delightful surprise: a silver and a bronze in the men’s two-man. But the United States got squat on the single’s side, where hopes were sky high. Although Adam Heidt ended up fourth for the men and Becky Wilczak finished fifth for the women, both best-ever U.S. marks, our top slider, Tony Bershoof rammed a wall during his second run and was out of medal contention before day two of racing even began....
Today Gartner is in danger of being fired as president of NBC News, in essence for living down to his low expectations for the medium in which he works. It’s not that Gartner is directly responsible for “Dateline NBC’s” now famous rigged GM crash video; no one alleges that either he or the anchors who apologized for the error, Jane Pauley and Stone Phillips, knew anything about it before the video was broadcast....
Telling whites they are black is not a task for the tactless; and Shirlee Haizlip makes every effort to be kind. After getting her quarry on the line, she identifies herself as a cousin – long-lost, she explains, as a result of a “family secret.” After they have chatted long enough to achieve a certain intimacy, Haizlip divulges her news: that their great-grandfather was once a slave. Invariably the reaction is the same....
In an instant he shattered all those doubts - the ones about him being unable to decisively influence matches, the ones about Portugal being unable to win a game in normal time. This was the match he was waiting for. It was billed as a battle of two Galacticos - Ronaldo versus his Real Madrid team-mate Gareth Bale - and there’s no question who came out on top. Not only did Ronaldo score the goal which went through Welsh hearts like a dagger but he also provided the quick-fire assist for Nani which put this semi-final out of reach once and for all....
