a younger brother and xander just twenty three seconds into they're about that foreman's preparing money go in take charge will go out again and one googles eater in heavyweight champ then kenny gardner this week in the russian capital. the thirty year old consider his favorite iggy's the american veteran no time wasted feeling each other out on this occasion the two giants tuning the fight in to rumble from the off gardner first of hurts his opponent but it was the russian who looked more dangerous into eating punches. however as the fight progressed it became clear monica was running out of gas i.

stood around seeing governor take his chance to turn the lights oh well monica and defend his entering throne. i did it knocked him out that was the game plan and not the mouth of the new like to stand up and i know if i keep the pressure on him he's going to ohm power out sooner or later because he got on a big punches but he's taken a lot of energy out of them and hand out no accuracy on his punches that he just on a roll will so you get tired out so high i knew if i just pace myself. run out of gas an hour later and that's our definition the american is now looking forward to facing reigning heavyweight champ then george and ukrainian good i'm good venus feely own june twenty first i'm a go back to the united states and start back training and get ready for the championship because i know it's a tough fight and all fighters and one is tough so you can't take no by lightly so obviously well prepared for his role in the twenty first of june meanwhile the

other the title belt of the night so a different weight class but the same outcome rushes to the scene oh and mario in the round up who presenting the u.s. out to settle scores with the end won me. to wait in to retitle me round up a black belt in brazil and jujitsu constantly taking the fight to the ground where he held a clear advantage and the game plan in the works in the third round when the american shield the russian out. of. two disappointing evening for the hosts by the twenty twelve white season is one that's far from over robert virginia r.t. moscow now finally there are many winter sports that russia has and want a medal in but curling is one of them new national women's team coach andreas clout is aiming to put that right at such a in two years' time which is on pole they caught up with this weight to quiz him

on the task ahead. he's only just taking the job but under scroll up already has big plans he's aiming to break russia's a little bit curling middle duck of a sort chilean picks and says for young but tons of women scored has the potential to do this. well i've seen quite a lot about the world curling in size among their worth and i would say there definitely are and capability to take the medals and hopefully the highest medals and with a lot of work and if they've got it perfect talent which i hope to have and of course they can win since the russians still put in a great effort in this i think we have really good chances actually because look what i've seen over the last couple of years is business and talents but russia really isn't able to get to that final stand and try to compete podium finishes and we saw the last olympics cup stages curling is if you see

a round how curlers are you will find they were pretty old and you need a lot of experience and sometimes it's strong to find short cuts and curling for you have to be there for a number of years and just kept experience and that might be one of my greatest tosses to kind of keep them these experienced in very short telling them and they will go very far away by good technique. and still we have to work a lot to beat us this tactic mental part also undescribed comes from a curling family with children playing the sports and there's a real chance did he go up against his daughter some who competes to sweden at the sochi games. we would be pretty sure he would be a medal in the family at least. but did you have any fords about taking up this role with the russian team given that your daughter is a successful column of course. in them and told them about it and they were going

to be feeling i for my son he said i'm not sure i like this idea. ladies say it's ok if you work with the men i'm not that happy still you know when you working in the curling you know your seething on many sharks. and. i'm the caller but i'm also a worker and when i'm in a rush i will be the worker and i always try to do my best to work and my daughter's support for one hundred percent and i also spend a moberg about the situation and she and she said understands go for it this is a very nice opportunity in life if they don't get you they will get another one so for me i don't care go for it while that is all the sport for now i'll have more for you know one to two hours time here and i'll tell you just so.

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. welcome to the. science technology innovation hall believes developments from around russia we've got the future covered.
