A day of Al Dah

Dubai: Emirati welterweight Eisa Al Dah beat Mexico's Miguel Angel Munguia Garcia in an unanimous points decision at Thursday night's 10-card Dubai International Boxing Championship inside Dubai Tennis Stadium.

Winning 58-54, 59-54, 59-53, 33-year-old Al Dah has now taken his fight record to eight wins and two losses in 10 appearances, while 29-year-old Munguia now has 22 wins 23 losses and one draw to his name in 46 fights.

Al Dah looked to struggle early, brought to his knees in the second, but the ‘Arabian Warrior' returned to form in the third and fourth of this six round contest to twice floor ‘Flaco'.

Weak and tired
Munguia re-composed himself to go the distance while a tiring Al Dah held out for the decision and didn't risk an offensive. "I think people were expecting me to throw a lot of punches and look for the knockout but this was not the strategy to win this particular fight," Al Dah said.

"When he hit me in the liver, it shut down my entire body and made me weak and affected all my power, speed and energy.

Recovery

"I recovered but tried to conserve my energy after that shot and didn't throw so many punches. I kept my distance, covered my face and tried to avoid his strong left hook right. I knew heading into this fight I would have to combat his power punches with my speed.

"When you fight a Mexican, you have to protect yourself at all times and when he hit me, I went dizzy. He confused me with his switching between southpaw and orthodox and he comes from a high altitude so has good conditioning.

"I felt his experience, threw a few good shots but he didn't give me a chance. I looked for the knockout, it didn't happen but nevertheless I am happy with the win. This has been my toughest contest yet and as fights progress they will get tougher."

Munguia said: "I was prepared for the fight and in the end lost only by one or two points. It was a really great fight I'm not too disappointed to have lost really. He's a great fighter with good experience and a good right hook."

McAfee Fake Alert Stinger 10.2.0.207

Fake-Alert software, also called fake AV or rogue anti-virus software, is malware that masquerades as a legitimate security application. These threats employ social engineering tactics to trick users into purchasing and installing malicious products. Once installed, a system scan will run that subsequently claims that the machine is infected. Other nefarious activity is occurring in the background, including the disabling of legitimate security applications.

The Fake Alert Stinger uses “Super Scan” mode for detection and remediation targeted specifically at fake-alert threats.

Super Scan achieves the following:

Terminates malicious processes that hinder anti-virus software from running properly
Restarts the Windows Explorer process to remove any hooks created by malware to prevent re-infections
Fixes file associations and other registry-based policies that are typically altered by fake-alert threats to remain active or to prevent normal use of system tools

In summary, Super Scan brings an infected system to a state that allows anti-virus software to scan and remediate effectively.

Apple iPhone 5 'Will Have A Four Inch Screen'

Sources inside Apple's Chinese supplier Foxconn have said that a new iPhone will have a four inch - or larger - screen. Several samples of the device are already under test, says the 'reliable' source, speaking to Apple blog 9to5Mac.

The rumour would lend credibility to the idea that Apple is plotting a summer launch for its new handset. If the company is at the prototype stage already, launch could be very soon.

The final model has not been selected, but all of them are significantly different from the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. None have the 'teardrop' shape that some Apple-watchers predicted for the new model.

'The source said various sample devices are also floating around - they vary slightly from one another - so it is impossible to tell which one will be the final,' said 9to5Mac.

The four-inch screen has been one of the most persistent rumours about Apple's upcoming smartphone - and would make sense, as it would take Apple's flagship device into line with rivals such as Samsung's Galaxy S2.

The relatively modest update last year from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S means that most Apple-watchers agree that a new model is inevitable - and many point to this summer for a likely launch date.

Sources inside Apple accessory companies also say that iPad 3 will not be an overhaul of the product, with cases and other accessories at the same size as ones for iPad 2.

That would leave the stage clear for a 'big' overhaul of iPhone this summer. At an earnings call this week, chief executive Tim Cook, who replaced Apple founder Steve Jobs hinted at future gadgets, which are rumoured to include a March release of the iPad 3 and a possible iPhone update.

He said:'Apple's momentum is incredibly strong, and we have some amazing new products in the pipeline.'

And the group reported record quarterly revenues of $46.33billion (£29.7 billion), up from $26.74billion (£17.1 billion) a year earlier. The stellar results sent the shares 6 per cent or $27 higher to almost $448 today.

The company has avoided any damage from a clampdown in consumer spending and a surge in competition from smartphone manufacturers and new tablet computers, such as the November launch of Amazon's Kindle Fire

The Marco Simoncelli Foundation becomes a reality

"The Marco Simoncelli Foundation" began as an idea of Carlo Pernat (Simoncelli’s manager) and was immediately embraced by the Simoncelli family, who worked quickly to make the foundation a legal reality.

"We completed all of the paperwork in a very short time," said Paolo Simoncelli, "and we are ready to start work." The president of the foundation will be Marco’s mother Rossella, while Paolo Simoncelli’s sister Martina and Dr. Arnaldo Cappellini will sit on the board of directors. Sister Martina and girlfriend Kate, with assistance from Carlo Pernat and Paolo Beltramo (Mediaset MotoGP journalist and friend) will offer their assistance.

"We already have several initiatives underway. For example, on January 20 an event titled 'Happy Birthday Sic' will be held at the 105 Stadium in Rimini, an evening designed for fun as my son would have liked. There will be comedians from the TV show Zelig on stage and many of Simoncelli’s friends from the GP paddock are also expected to show up. We are also working on an exhibition dedicated to Marco in the City of Coriano, managed directly by the Foundation. We are just getting started and we're surrounded by positivity that was so typical of Marco, positivity that affected everyone around him and made him an extraordinary person."

"The basic premise of the Foundation," explained Paolo Simoncelli, "is that through keeping the memory of Marco alive we can help alleviate suffering of those who are worse off than us. It is hard for me to say where and how the funds raised will be distributed, since I cannot assess how much we will have available as time goes by. One thing is certain; I will try and manage all this as a good father."

"We received a huge number of messages of affection for Marco" added Paolo Simoncelli, "and this has helped and continues to help us overcome the difficult times that we live with daily. Seeing how many people loved our son has helped us go on and we believe that ‘The Marco Simoncelli Foundation’ represents the best way to remember him in the future."

Repsol names Moto3 riders, aims for all three titles in 2012

Repsol has announced it will back Alex Rins and Miguel Oliveira in the new Moto3 World Championship - and is thus aiming to win riders' world titles in all three grand prix classes next year.

Repsol, which has more than 40 years of experience in sport sponsorship, won this year's MotoGP title with Honda's Casey Stoner and finished a close runner-up in the Moto2 class with Suter rider Marc Marquez.

Both Stoner and Marquez will remain in Repsol colours for 2012, as will Stoner's MotoGP team-mate Dani Pedrosa (fourth this season with three wins).

Repsol's Moto3 hopes will be in the hands of two 16-year-olds, but both Rins and Oliveira are highly rated.

Rookie Rins is the reigning Spanish (CEV) 125cc champion, while Oliveira already has 11 grand prix starts under his belt and won the last two CEV races using a 250cc four-stroke Moto3 bike for the Monlau Competición Team.

Repsol has also announced that Alex Marquez, younger brother of Marc and runner-up in the 2011 CEV 125cc title to team-mate Rins, will enter 'some races' as a wild-card in 2012.

This will be combined with a full title assault in the CEV Moto3 series.

The last time Repsol participated in the smallest (125cc) class of grand prix motorcycling was in 2010, when the team won the championship with Marc Marquez.

The Italian, who injured himself during a Motocross training accident, took to his Twitter account after going under the knife, stating, “After about 1 hour under surgery I am like new!”

Dovizioso now has just over three weeks to make a full recovery before pre-season MotoGP testing gets underway at Sepang on January 31st, the Italian riding for new employer's Tech 3 Yamaha.

However, while doctors have urged Dovizioso to be careful with the injury, his team manager Herve Poncharal is confident that he will be back to his best by the time he gets aboard the YZR-M1.
