Before the fight gets started, you can check out Klitschko Arreola weigh in pictures and our Klitschko Arreola preview.
Rd 1: Klitschko starts with a lot of lead left hooks and reaching uppercuts. He doesn’t look like he is very warmed up. Arreola tries to make his way inside behind a couple of jabs, but Klitschko so far is keeping him at bay. Vitali continues to bounce around on his toes, lands a stiff jab and continues alternating between pawing jabs, hard jabs and lead left hooks. Vitali keeps his hands almost all the way down, and by the end of the round Arreola already seems to be a bit discouraged perhaps.
Rd 2: Vitali lands a big right hand for the first time, but Arreola then does his first good work of the night immediately following. Vitali on his toes and keeping Arreola at the end of his jab. Vitali timing his jabs well so that Arreola can never get comfortable and always has to reset. Another easy Klitschko round.
Rd 3: Klitschko lands a big overhand right after pawing with a few jabs, and continues to throw his reaching right uppercut to the body. As Klitschko pushes Arreola to the side with a brushing right hand to the head, Arreola smiles, but his efforts to get inside are already less energetic. Klitschko takes the round easy and Arreola’s face is starting to show some sign of wear and tear.
Rd 4: Arreola lands a reaching right to Klitschko’s head, his first good shot of the night. Klitschko seems to have been caught off balance as he stumbled back, and reacts by throwing a few combos. The crowd and Arreola are both energized, and Arreola is having his best round of the night thus far.Vitali seems to stabilize himself behind his jab. The round could go either way, but despite Arreola’s big landed shot I think Klitschko controlled more of the action.
Rd 5: As Klitschko gets on his bike a bit the crowd boos, Klitschko responds by throwing a few hard shots. Arreola gets inside and they tie up, he then lands a few good, hard body shots. Klitschko slows down the pace by circling and working from his jab.
Rd 6: The pace has slowed in this round as Vitali seems calm and in control. He gets some good pressure a few times, but Klitschko more often than notes circles out of danger and dictates the action with his jab. Arreola’s pressure is seeming more desperate than planned or controlled at this point.
Rd 7: Arreola pushes forward and actually lands a few jabs. Klitschko does seem more tired but at the end of the round, he controlle the pace, the action and he landed more shots. Arreola threw a punch that hits Klitschko in the back that he should have been at least warned for, however the ref ignored or missed it.
Rd 8: Just as the crowd and Arreola seem to be out of the fight, he comes to life by landing a jarring left hand, and he immediately begins pressing as Klitschko goes on the retreat. Arreola lands another big left as Klitschko tried one of his reaching right uppercuts to the body. Arreola grabs his first round of the night – an anomaly or a sign of trouble to come for Vitali?
Rd 9: In the first minute of the 9th, the answer to the above question seems to be more anomaly than anything else. Arreola despite looking more energetic, also is appearing more bloody and busted up. Vitali’s jab is back, as is his lead left hook and he’s setting his feet and pushing forward instead of retreating. He lands a big right that makes Arreola pause, and if he lands a few more of those Arreola could crumble. But in the meantime Vitali is content keeping the fight at its current pace. Big Vitali round.
Rd 10: More of the same in round 10. Arreola is trying, but it’s more a show of heart than a show of effective pressure. As Arreola’s face is covered with streams of blood, Klitschko looks nearly untouched.
The fight has been stopped! Arreola is unhappy with the decision, but he was taking more than enough punishment and after a brief burst of energy in the 8th, Vitali responded by continuing is streak of dominance. Arreola begins crying as he came up short on his dream.
Post fight: Arreola continues weeping in his interview with Larry Merchant, calling Vitali a f*cking strong dude, among other things… he’s swollen up and battered a bit, and disappointed in his performance and the outcome. He certainly shouldn’t be apologizing for the performance and if anything his raw emotion, and gritty attitude will gain him more of a standing in the sport.
Side note: Why HBO was continuing to pump up Arreola during the fight as coming on strong, and making a dent is beyond me, and somewhat deplorable. Hey guys… we are already watching, you don’t have to sell us on the fight while it’s happening.

Google just announced the launch of Chrome Frame, a new open-source project that will allow Chrome's rendering engine to run within Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6,7, and 8. This plugin, which is available now, will give developers the option to ask users if they would prefer to switch to the Chrome rendering and JavaScript engine. Users simply continue to use Internet Explorer and the switch will be completely seamless, with no noticeable changes to the user interface.
Chrome Now Runs Inside Internet Explorer
As Google's Mike Smith and Alex Russell told us when we talked to them about this project, a lot of companies have good reasons why they can't just simply switch away from Internet Explorer. After all, these enterprises often have made large investments in an infrastructure that is only compatible with IE. As Google pointed out to us, though, this shouldn't hold back developers who want to explore the possibilities that newer, faster and more modern browsers like Chrome can offer.
Google, which has lately developed a tendency to route around other vendors, developed this plugin without help from Microsoft, but Smith and Russell noted that Microsoft gives developers a lot of ways to easily extend Internet Explorer.
Focus on Developers
Thanks to this plugin, developers will now be able to give these users an option to at least switch to a faster rendering engine by just adding one single line of code to their sites ().
Indeed, this current release is mostly meant to give developers a choice for how they want to deliver their web apps to their users. At least for now, users won't be able to make the switch to the Chrome engine persistent, though they can invoke the plugin by putting 'cf:' in front of any URL.
Google is obviously interested in getting its web apps into businesses. These web apps tend to work best in a modern browser with a fast JavaScript engine and that is not something Internet Explorer is known for. As Mike Smith told us, the Web shouldn't be hobbled by this.
As for the user experience, the Google team tells us that the switch will be absolutely seamless and that the plugin will offer the same speed and reliability of Chrome inside IE.
A Trojan Horse?
Google hopes that this plugin will enable developers in enterprises to write code for a modern browser that isn't held back by some of the old paradigms. That, of course, is a noble undertaking. At the same time, though, we can't help but wonder if Google also plans to use this plugin to plant a Trojan horse inside these companies. After all, very few businesses are ready to make the switch from IE to Chrome right now, but Chrome Frame now offers companies the option to get the best of both worlds and - maybe - switch over to Chrome completely in the long run.
As for Google itself, the company plans to use Chrome Frame to make Google Wave run smoothly in Internet Explorer but hasn't announced any other plans to use Chrome Frame in other products yet.

Nearly 10 years after doing my first story on e-mail etiquette in the workplace, I thought I’d seen it all until I noticed this item in a New Zealand newspaper: “Emails spark woman’s sacking.”
I expected to read another example of inappropriate virtual behavior – a racy forwarded e-mail or some such specimen. But the story was about a New Zealand accountant who successfully sued her former employer for wrongful termination. Why was she fired? Because her notes to colleagues WERE ALWAYS WRITTEN IN CAPS: the e-mail equivalent of shouting. The company claimed it created “disharmony in the workplace.”
It seems we still have some distance to cross regarding e-mail and its impact on the workplace. New research from the University of Queensland in Australia shows that ambiguous e-mails are a major source of workplace stress – even more than volume of e-mail. They leave colleagues and direct reports to wonder: What did she or he mean by that?
Through years of reporting on the topic (and my own bitter experience) here are my golden rules when e-mailing.
Avoid premature e-mailation
Add the address of the e-mail last. Often it is the first, as a reply or “all reply.” This can be deadly because the “save” and “send” buttons are often dangerously close to one another. By putting the e-mail address last, it creates an automatic pause to rethink sending the note, or make sure you are sending the note to the intended parties. It also helps eliminate slips such as dishing dirt by e-mail on a colleague or boss and then accidentally sending it to that person.
Never drink and email
Back in the day, I used to be a party-hardy character, and paid for it with hangovers and e-mail regret (how I wished someone would develop a USB breathalyzer that locks the computer if inebriated).
I eliminated this problem by eliminating alcohol from my diet (which solved many other problems as well). But if abstinence isn’t for you, then at least abstain from drunken e-mails: No machinery, not even computers, should be operated while impaired.
Keep it short
One study by Vanderbilt University shows you can tell the company level of an employee by their e-mail: Top executives are short and to the point (a result of the volume and speed — it says “I’m busy” ). Middle management is wordy (a result of trying to influence higher ups) and lower-rung e-mails are chatty (more a social function of the work place).
Here, the top execs got it right. Email is a very inefficient tool to sway opinion. Straight forward is the way forward.
Reader responsibility
One study I read forever altered how I view and use e-mail. It showed that the tone – funny, sarcastic, serious – of e-mails is misinterpreted half of the time. That means unless the sender has the talent of Ernest Hemingway to convey emotion with an economy of words, it’s a coin-toss whether the feelings the note produces in the reader are legitimate.
Anytime I get an e-mail that causes an emotional response in me, I stop and remember this study. And rather than react, I simply write “Thanks!” Or I pick up the phone. Or I press ‘delete’ and go about my day.
