In Bradley's case, she supported him while he chased his dream. She held him down as a person that was previously a waiter and dishwasher so that he could quit his job and become a fighter full time while she brought in the money and paid the bills. She might not be the most attractive, but she is a true ride or die. When he went to fight Junior Witter in England, they only had $11 in their bank account. He damn near quit but she pushed him to continue on.

You can read more there. nikkas would kill to have a woman in their corner (no pun intended) like that.

What that mouf do tho?

I still don't understand why it seems like Thurman out of all the Haymon fighters at 140-147 he is getting so much less of a push.
He might be the only person on the PBC roster who I think would benefit their career by leaving Haymon.

I kinda feel like they might not get along. I feel the same way about Porter.

I didn't see the video but Keith is getting a big time push breh. He set off NBC and ESPN's PBC series--what more could you ask for?

But the BEST thing about this article is the fact that this fight is on October 14th, which is a Wednesday:








Tuesdays: PBC on Fox Sports 1
Wednesdays: PBC on ESPN
Fridays: PBC on Spike TV
Saturdays: PBC on NBC or CBS, HBO Boxing, Showtime Boxing
Sundays: PBC on Bounce TV

I agree. I've written about this. Yes he's lead off shows but that's like a first responder in a crisis, you send them on out there and don't really hear too much after.

Not to mention he dont bathe for like a week before a fight

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

Not only is One Time headlining the first NBC N ESPN cards...he's also getting paid the most...his check for fighting Collazo > Broner vs Porter...Swift vs Paulie... LSC vs Mares

True

i haven't said it in a while but I said it again. I really enjoy the banter in here, even when you all are fighting amongst each other. I can honestly say you all know SOMETHING. Unlike twitter where you have folks who click a hashtag and all of a sudden they know everything.

The next edition of Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN will take place Oct. 14 at 9 p.m. ET and will be headlined by former welterweight and junior welterweight titleholder Devon Alexander, according to the network.


Alexander will take on journeyman Aron Martinez at the Gila River Arena is Glendale, Arizona.


A formal announcement has yet to be made.


Alexander (26-3, 14 KOs), 28, of St. Louis, has not looked good in recent fights. He has lost two of his last three bouts and is coming off a near-shutout decision loss to Amir Khan in December.


Martinez (19-4-1, 4 KOs), 33, a Los Angeles-based native of Mexico, has lost three of his last four fights and only has boxed four times since late 2012. However, he dropped welterweight contender Robert Guerrero and gave him a serious run for his money in a debatable split decision loss June 6.


The card also will feature featherweight titlist Lee Selby (21-1, 8 KOs), 28, of Wales, who will make his first title defense when he faces Mexico's Fernando Montiel (54-4-2, 39 KOs), 36, a former three-division titlist, who has won eight fights in a row. Selby won a 126-pound world title May 30 in London when he dominated Russia's Evgeny Gradovich en route to an eight-round technical decision victory cut short because Gradovich suffered a cut over his right eye from an accidental head butt and was unable to continue.

Selby is already in the United States training for the fight with Montiel. He was ringside Saturday night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles to watch Leo Santa Cruz claim a vacant featherweight belt with a majority decision win against Abner Mares in an action-packed, fight of the year candidate that headlined a PBC on ESPN card.


Selby hopes to eventually face Santa Cruz, which is entirely possible since they are both with adviser Al Haymon, the creator of PBC.

Devon Alexander to fight Aron Martinez in Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN card Oct. 14




Acceptable rebound fight for Alexander who's not had a good run lately with being dominated by both Porter & Khan. That Selby vs Montiel fight should be a nice introduction for Selby to the US audience.

[Axum Ezana]

Yeah...outside of , I actually have no problem with Monica.


She held HIM down at the beginning of his career, not the other way around. We cant compare her to Jin Mosley at all who wasnt shyt without Shane O'Mac taking her in.

true but i know sistas who did even better n they throw them to the side.

i don't really wanna get into this shyt too deep cause its off topic .
