The new handle may have been something of a misnomer in that the destruction of his opponent did not appear to be a priority, but the Derry middleweight’s performance against Vanda was a disciplined and controlled rendition that allowed him to post a lopsided points victory over a willing but overmatched journeyman opponent in the chief supporting bout to the Miguel Cotto-Michael Jennings welterweight title bout.
In the main event, Cotto regained the WBO championship, decking the outgunned Englishman three times on the way to a fifth-round stoppage.
Duddy remained undefeated with his 26th professional win, but it was the fourth consecutive outing in which he had been extended the distance.
The Irishman had opened his professional career by knocking out 13 of his first 14 opponents, seven of them in less than three minutes, but the makeover effected by new trainer Pat Burns may serve him better as he ventures into deeper waters.
The new and improved version of Duddy on display Saturday night was able to rely on his clear advantage in hand speed, and used a piston-like jab to outbox Vanda for most of the night without exposing himself to real danger.
Although his furious abandon and penchant for turning even routine bouts into all-out brawls had endeared him to American audiences, Duddy refused to succumb to the temptation to engage in a slugfest, even when the crowd grew predictably restive as the fight wore on.
Hopelessly behind on the scorecards, Vanda threw caution to the winds in a last-gasp assault in which he had Duddy reeling from several hard shots, but the Derryman not only weathered that storm but emerged from the bout without a single drop of blood having been spilled.
With seconds to go, Vanda, clearly elated at having survived the 10-round distance, thrust his gloves into the air as Duddy grinned in response, and at the final bell the two fell into one another’s arms in a heartfelt embrace.
“If I’d started earlier I could have put him away,” claimed Vanda.
The American carried the final three minutes on the scorecards of all three ringside judges, but it was the only round he won on two of them, as Julie Lederman and Robin Taylor both returned 99-91 verdicts.
The third scoring official, Robert Signorelli, had Duddy winning by a 97-92 margin.
The defeat was the 30-year-old Vanda’s ninth in a 48-bout career.
Two members of the City Council of Tbilisi (Sakrebulo) – Vakhtang Shakarishvili and Jaba Jishkariani – quit the Georgian Dream’s majority group, citing “critical” differences between them and the ruling party over the judiciary.
Shakarishvili and Jishkariani convened a press briefing on April 11, two days after GD leader Bidzina Ivanishvili defended the record of Levan Murusidze, the judge presiding over the high-profile Girgvliani murder case, when the case was heard at the Supreme Court.
“Justifying executioners of [Mikheil] Saakashvili-[Zurab] Adeishvili (Justice Minister from 2008 to 2012) is unacceptable for us, and is in critical conflict to the ideals of 2012, as well as to the promises given [by the Georgian Dream party] ahead of the second round of the Presidential elections,” Shakarishvili added.
Jishkariani echoed the message, saying portrayal of Levan Murusidze as a hero, and those who defended Girgvliani’s rights as supporters of the United National Movement, is “humiliating and unacceptable”.
“It was the Girgvliani case, November 7 (police crackdown on opposition protests in November 7, 2007) that brought the Georgian Dream to power… and now this history is being rewritten, as if it starts from 2012,” he added.
Shakarishvili and Jishkariani called on the public to join the April 13 gathering of the “Defend Georgia,” a movement led by Ivanishvili’s former supporter, poet and public figure Davit Magradze.
The announcement follows the judicial appointments dispute in the ruling party, that ended with eight MPs quitting the Georgian Dream. For detailed coverage, see our tag on justice reform.
Departure of Shakarishvili and Jishkariani reduces GD’s Sakrebulo representation to 37 seats (there are 50 seats in the City Council). The United National Movement has five members in Tbilisi Sakrebulo; the European Georgia – three members and the Alliance of Patriots – two members. One ruling party lawmaker was arrested on corruption charges in February 2018, and the seat remains vacant.
The market was on a roll last week and gained on all the four days. Thursday was a holiday on account of Republic Day.
The Sensex gained 847.96 points, or 3.14 per cent, to close the week at 27,882.42 points. The Nifty gained 291.90 points, or 3.505 to close at 8,641.25 points. The rally was strong and across the board. There were no sectoral losers. The January series expired on a positive note, gaining 499.15 points, or 6.16 per cent to close at 8,602.75 points. During the week, the market crossed the levels it had closed on November 8. These levels were 27,591.14 points on the BSE and 8,543.55 points on the NSE.
The strong rally has caught many by surprise, including me, and has bettered expectations by far — not sure how many times a pre-budget rally has been converted into a post-budget rally as well. Let’s hope, this time, it does and we have the right environment for the same.
The Union budget would be presented on Wednesday. This With elections to be held immediately after the budget, it is expected to be populist. But if populism comes by crushing industry or taxing producers, the market would not like it.
The market expects that the budget would lower tax rates and raise the slabs. Going forward it makes sense to be tax- compliant as the cost of tax avoidance increases sharply. It is also expected that STT rates on trading and derivatives would be increased and those on delivery-based trade reduced to encourage deliveries and therefore investment into the market.
In the primary market, the government sponsored CPSE-ETF would list in the week ahead. This follow on fund offer had received excellent response from retail investors. The issue was oversubscribed and it appears that except retail and pension funds, no other categories were allotted shares.
The offer for sale from the BSE received excellent response. It received a record 11.95 lakh applications. This was higher than the 10.90 lakh applications received by L&T Infotech last year. Clearly, retail interest is back. The BSE issue is expected to list towards the end of the week.
L&T Infotech, meanwhile, has won a multibillion, multiyear contract for analytics from the central board of direct taxes. It would be paid on performance; on providing leads from various types of information about people’s income and expenses linked to their returns.
There is speculation whe-ther BSE shares would trade on the BSE. If one goes back in time when the NSE began trading there were no companies listed on the NSE. It traded in the ‘permitted-to-trade category’, which meant that it was trading with no onus of obligations to the exchange. It paid no listing fees and was not obliged to be regulated, answerable or mandated to provide information. Sometime ago when MCX-SX began it too had a large number of scrips listed under the permitted-to-trade segment. I believe, the same would happen in the case of BSE where it would list on the NSE and also trade in the permitted-to-trade segment on the BSE. This is convention and any changes to this is known or expected.
The government divested its part stake through an offer for sale of shares in MOIL. The retail issue was subscribed over five times. The floor price was Rs 365 and a discount of 5 per cent was offered to retail investors. The share closed at Rs 371.10 on Friday. The government raised about Rs 486 crore through the divestment of 10 per cent or 133.18 lakh shares. The clearing price for non-retail was Rs 365, while for retail it was Rs 377.55 on the BSE. This means that successful applicants have surrendered 3.43 per cent of the 5 per cent discount offered to them.
Dow Jones finally closed above the 20,000-mark at 20,093.78 points. Donald Trump who has just completed his first week in office has stirred a hornet’s nest. He has curbed immigration and visas from Muslim countries and asked Mexico to pay for the cost of building a wall. One would be sure that news emanating from the superpower would keep global markets on their edge.
The week ahead would be supervolatile and there is the budget to encounter mid-week. Expectations from the budget have risen looking at the gains of the last week. Trade cautiously, as with higher open interest and a new series on hand, the market could see sharp two sided moves.
President Donald Trump speaks while visiting the Boeing South Carolina facility in North Charleston, S.C., on Feb. 17, 2017.
The White House said Tuesday that President Donald Trump made more than $150 million in income in 2005 and paid $38 million in income taxes that year.
The acknowledgement came as MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said she has obtained part of Trump's 2005 tax forms, and prepared to discuss the document on her Tuesday night show.
The records have become highly sought-after because Trump refused to release his returns during the campaign, breaking a decades-long tradition. He claimed he was under audit by the Internal Revenue Service and said his attorneys had advised against it — though experts and IRS officials said such audits don't bar taxpayers from releasing their returns.
The unauthorized release of federal tax returns is a criminal offense. But Maddow argued that MSNBC was exercising its First Amendment right to publish information in the public interest.
Trump long insisted the American public wasn't interested in his returns and said little could be learned from them. But Trump's full returns would contain key details about things like his charitable giving and how much he made each year.
The issue a major point of attack from his rival Hillary Clinton, who suggested Trump had something to hide.
The White House has not said whether or not the president plans to release his returns while he's in office. More than 1 million people have signed a White House petition urging the president to release them.

Chelsea captain John Terry was back in training on Thursday - just hours after his broken metatarsal scare.
Terry hurt his right foot in training on Wednesday but scans showed there was no break. Now the England defender is on course to lead the Blues out in Saturday's FA Cup final against Portsmouth at Wembley, after Chelsea confirmed he was back in training.
A spokesman for Chelsea said: "John Terry has started Thursday morning's final training session at Cobham prior to the FA Cup final. On Friday the squad will train at Wembley."
Victory for Chelsea would earn them an historic league and FA Cup double.
Reports are surfacing that Jim Spence could be set to walk away from his Dundee United role, less than 10 days after he was appointed as a consultant.
The news that Dundee United chairman Stephen Thompson will listen to offers to buy the club has caused divisions among fans, with uncertainty over what it could mean for the club.
Dundee United fans across the city have slammed the club's management, with one prominent supporter suggesting the entire board should resign immediately.
As relegation beckons and questions arise over Dundee United's financial situation, The Courier asked football finance expert Charles Barnett to shed some light on what the club can do next.
Your beautiful, wavy hair can become wild and unmanageable in humid weather. But don’t resign to covering up with a hat quite yet. These helpful hair tips and style ideas can keep your hair looking incredible in any weather.
On humid days, don’t fight your hair’s natural wavy tendency by trying to straighten it. Instead, enjoy your waves. When you step out of the shower, towel dry your hair and then apply a leave-in conditioner to help avoid any frizz. Scrunch your hair with your hands and allow your waves to dry naturally, rather than using your blow dryer. If you absolutely must use heated styling tools, look for blow dryers and irons that utilize special technology to control static and frizzing such as infrared heat and negative ion systems.
Look for barrier products that are created to repel moisture. Silicone serums, anti-humidity sprays, anti-frizz mousse and other special hair care products will fight the humidity and help keep your hair from frizzing out.
Twirl it – Spritz damp hair with spray gel to make it a little more manageable, then diffuse on low heat. While your are drying your hair, twirl it around your fingers to help shape your waves.
Mousse it – Apply a little mousse to towel-dried hair to enhance its natural texture, then allow your hair to air-dry. When it’s almost finished drying, apply a little silicone hair serum to the ends to tame flyaways. Run your fingers through your hair and then set with anti-humidity finishing spray.
Clip it – In hot sticky weather, you probably want your hair away from your face. Create a half-up, half-down hairstyle by pulling back the front portion of your hair and securing with a pretty clip.
The rose is the national flower of the United States and England. How has it influenced our language and history?
1. This ancient queen invited her paramour to her palace, but only after she'd had her floors covered knee-deep with rose petals - so deep was her belief in the romance of the rose. Who was one of the greatest admirers of this flower?
2. The expression "under the rose," meaning "confidential," came from the Roman tradition of hanging a rose over a conference table. The code of honor was that nothing spoken under the rose was to be repeated. What Latin expression with a rose means "secret"?
3. What French empress was one of history's greatest rose collectors - more than 250 varieties - and sent scouts out all over the world to fill her royal gardens with whatever they could dig up?
4. This US president was the first to plant rosebushes at the White House in Washington. Later, his son enjoyed the roses, too. Who was the president to establish the Rose Garden?
5. What do we call a flower motif made of pleated ribbon or plaster that looks like a rose but doesn't smell like one?
6. It takes 4,000 pounds of pressed rose petals to make one pound of fragrant oil for perfumes and cosmetics. What do we call this precious oil?
7. The Romans were so fond of roses they imported bargefuls of petals and rose hips from Egypt, the big producer. What did the Romans have in their fountains, and what did they sprinkle on their pigeons so they'd flutter scentfully overhead?
8. American writer Gertrude Stein (1874-1946), who believed that poetry is "really loving the name of anything," produced one of the most quoted lines in literature. Her point was simple: "Saying a name any number of times only makes you love it more." What did she say about the rose?
(6) 'attar' of roses, from the Persian word for 'fragrance'; (7) rose water; (8) 'Rose is a rose is a rose, is a rose,' from her poem 'Sacred Emily.' Historians say that Stein's 'rose' was Sir Frederick Rose, a British painter whose work she loved.

For the first time in 19 years, and the first time ever as a 4A school, the Wood River High School football team will host a post-season playoff game in the next few weeks at Hailey’s Phil Homer Field.
Wood River (6-2, 4-0 league) earned that privilege with a dramatic come-from-behind 21-20 Great Basin Conference win over the Canyon Ridge River-hawks (5-3, 2-2) Friday.
Sophomore Ashton Owens scored three touchdowns and senior placekicker Kyle Weller booted the eventual game-winning point in the tight bat-tle between GBC contenders. The Wolverines trailed 14-6 in the third period.
The way this year’s 12-team State 4A playoffs are set up, the top two teams in the Great Ba-sin Conference regular-season earn the right to host playoff games in the four-weekend elimination series.
Wood River will host the Minico Spartans (6-2, 4-0) for the Great Basin championship on Friday, Oct. 24 at 7 p.m. at Phil Homer Field. Minico brings a six-game win streak into the game and will try to extend a string of league suc-cess that includes seven GBC titles (2005-08 and 2010-12) and a 38-6 league record since 2004.
In contrast, Wood River’s best league finish was third place in 2011, the same year that coach Kevin Stilling’s Wolverines achieved the school’s best football season since 1975 with a 6-4 record.
Stilling said Monday that students in kindergarten through the eighth grade will be admitted free of charge with a paying adult for Friday’s GBC championship game. It will also be “Senior Night” for 14 seniors on this year’s 45-player Wolver-ine varsity.
Whether Wood River plays its first playoff game on Satur-day, Nov. 1 as a first-round clash, or earns a bye, will de-pend on the outcome of its game with Minico. And the Boise-area 3rd District 4A is still undecided with one week of league games remaining.
The winner of Wood River-Minico will get a week off and will host a second-round quar-terfinal game on Friday, Nov. 8 against the winner of the first-round game between the Boise-area second-place team and the Great Basin Conference third-place team, very likely Canyon Ridge.
The loser of Friday’s Wood River-Minico game will host a first-round playoff Saturday, Nov. 1 against the third-place team in the Boise area.
That 4A Southern Idaho Conference is bunched at the top between Bishop Kelly of Boise (7-1, 4-0), Middleton (6-2, 3-1), Kuna (6-2, 2-2) and Skyview of Nampa (4-4, 3-1).
Bishop Kelly hosts Skyview on Saturday, Oct. 25 while Middleton goes to Kuna Friday, Oct. 24 to finish the 4A SIC regular-season slate.
Coach Stilling said that if Wood River earns the second seed from the Great Basin, his preference would be to play Saturday, Nov. 1 and not on Halloween evening—Friday, Oct. 31. He said that Wood River athletic director John Rade concurred, although it’s not certain when the game would be played, afternoon or night.
Wood River has played one previous home playoff game back in 1995, under coach Chris Malmgren, losing to Sugar-Salem of Sugar City 48-20 in the school’s first-ever State A-2 playoff appearance.
In the subsequent 18 grid seasons, Wood River teams have made a post-season foot-ball playoff seven times, all games played away from home.
At the Class A-2 level, the Wolverines lost 48-0 to Snake River of Moreland in 1998, lost 48-20 to American Falls in 1999 and fell 47-20 to Teton of Driggs in 2000, all three games played at Holt Arena in Pocatello.
They returned to Holt Arena as a 4A team in 2005 and fell 55-7 to Pocatello. In 2006 and 2007, Wood River lost 21-6 to Bon-neville in Idaho Falls, and 63-14 at Blackfoot. Three years ago, in 2011, the Wolverines com-peted in their last playoff game and lost 41-13 at Blackfoot.
The Pentagon notified Congress Monday it had authorized up to $1 billion in funding to go toward building President Trump's wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.
The details: Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan authorized the Army Corps of Engineers to plan and build 57 miles of 18-foot-high fencing in Yuma, Arizona, and El Paso, Texas, the Associated Press reports.
The backdrop: Trump declared a national emergency in February to push wall funding through, but 12 Republican senators voted against it. Trump made it clear before the vote he planned to veto the bill.
The big picture: The House was due to vote to override President Trump's veto Tuesday. However, the transfer to the Defense Department that Shanahan authorized was made without using the president's declaration, according to The New York Times.
June 27 (UPI) -- A pair of warthogs were caught on camera when they wandered into a South African town and blocked traffic on a busy road.
A video recorded in the town of Hoedspruit shows the warthogs wandering around in a road, bringing traffic to a standstill.
Locals said they are familiar with warthog problems, as the town is located near Kruger National Park.
The residents said warthogs are sometimes seen in town when food becomes scarce during the dry season.
Bloomberg News | U.S. health inspectors found rodent droppings “too numerous to count” in the galley area of a Delta Air Lines jet where food and drink are stored. The airline said the plane used on international flights had been cleaned and returned to service.
