Badou Jack and James DeGale will each walk into a boxing ring tonight with 168-pound world titles draped over their shoulders. One man will exit the ring with both titles and a sky's-the-limit future. The other will exit empty-handed and head back to the drawing board.

And if the Jack-DeGale title unification match isn't enough to entice you, how about a second world championship slugfest between a pair of undefeated fighters? It all comes to you live on Showtime at 9:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. PT from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York


Next match

Pedraza vs Davis
Jose Pedraza woke up this morning as the only male boxer from the island of Puerto Rico currently holding a world title, and the undefeated 130-pound champ intends to go to sleep tonight the same way.

Gervonta Davis - a heavy-hitting, 5-foot-6 southpaw with the appropriate nickname "Tank" - has other ideas. In fact, the 22-year-old from Baltimore plans to become a 130-pound world champion one fight earlier than his mentor and promoter, Floyd Mayweather Jr., who won his first title (also at 130 pounds) in his 18th fight.

Pedraza vs. Davis is the ultimate contrast in styles. A slick ambidextrous boxer, the 27-year-old Pedraza often befuddles his opposition with his versatility and counterpunching ability. Conversely, Davis is a flat-out slugger, having knocked out all but one of his 16 opponents - and 13 of those foes lasted fewer than four rounds!

Once again, it's the age-old boxing debate: What's more important, impeccable boxing skills or raw, bone-crushing power? You're about to find out

The City of New Haven has activated its Severe Cold Weather Protocol in conjunction with Governor Malloy and the state Department of Emergency Management & Homeland Security. All branches of the New Haven Free Public Libraries will serve as daytime warming centers during regular business hours and the city’s Overnight Warming Center located at Bethel AME on Goffe Street will open Thursday, December 15th at 10:00 PM. The Overnight Warming Center will remain open throughout the winter; a second overnight warming center will open February 1stto provide additional space. New Haven Police will visit areas frequented by homeless residents and warn them of the dangerous weather that will impact the city. Attached is a Word document of the flow chart that will be utilized for shelter and warming center locations and contact information.

 

 

 

BACKGROUND:

 

At the direction of Governor Dannel P. Malloy, the Department of Emergency Services/Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (DESPP/ DEMHS), Department of Housing (DOH), Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS), and the Department of Social Services (DSS), United Way 2-1-1, the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness, and other partners are implementing the severe cold weather protocol to ensure adequate shelter space during the severe cold weather.

 

The protocol is being activated as a result of the forecasted bitter cold temperatures and strong winds, resulting in single digit temperatures with wind chill factors below zero, Thursday night through Saturday morning.  The protocol will remain in effect from 4:00 pm Thursday, December 15, until Saturday December 17 at 10:00 am.

 

Governor Malloy encourages cities and towns to consider opening warming centers or other facilities to help those in need.  In addition, we want to ensure that if local shelters or other facilities used during cold weather emergencies reach their capacities, there is a system in place to find out where there is space so they can direct individuals and families accordingly. 

 

If you receive a call from someone looking for shelter and you are not aware of any shelter space, please direct the person to 2-1-1.  DEMHS will open an Incident on WebEOC, “Severe Cold Weather December 15-17, 2016."  If your town opens a shelter or warming center, please indicate its status on WebEOC.  Working with local shelters, 2-1-1 will act as a clearinghouse to ensure that shelter space is found for those that need it.  Please spread the word of this critical service provided by 2-1-1.

 

On behalf of the Governor, we thank you again for your hard work and dedication all year round—and especially in these cold and stormy winter months—to help individuals and families.

At a time of undeniable disapproval of American political leaders ; there has been an evident need for an influential lead for the people that live in "The Struggle". For this reason, NY recording artist Skittelz & DMV Producer Del Connect have decided to re-release this powerful record on all streaming platforms . In an era where stereotypical trap beats and simplistic lyrics are the norm, Skittz dares to share the depth of his experience via poetic delivery and enlighten the masses while tapping into the essence of the music culture . According to Wikipedia , the origins of "Hip-Hop have been described as an outlet and voice for the disenfranchised youth of low-economic areas, as the culture reflected the social, economic and political realities of their lives." Hearing that truth on this record is a breath of fresh air , along with the messages accompanied within the project's visuals. The message addresses economic class,the great recession, Inequality, activism,crime in low-income communities,student loan debt in America, broken homes, outsourcing of jobs/careers to foreign countries, poverty, organized boycotts and my exercise of the consitutional first ammendment rights.

Make sure that you share the music or spread the movement; for the creation of more impactful art and organizing solutions in these troubling times.
