THIS is why I am immediately once I found out a Boxer beats on a woman....no matter their level of skill or record against other professionals

Now, I didn't know this before the fight, but I am happy I didn't pick this bum Aikens, and I wish Bellows (who I did pick) could have KOd him even worse than he did

And he did this while she was holding their daughter and infront of their son

MILLVILLE — A Millville woman says an Atlantic City boxer punched her repeatedly in front of their children, requiring emergency hospitalization and multiple stitches




Tara Robinson, 28, said Antowyan Aikens attacked her early Aug. 2, and rescue personnel rushed her to a trauma unit at Cooper University Hospital in Camden.

Robinson, a full-time nursing student who lives in the 400 block of West Powell Street, said she suffered no broken bones, but her face remains slightly swollen.

Aikens is about 6 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs about 200 pounds when he’s not in fighting shape, Robinson said. She said she is about 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs about 170 pounds.

“He’s much stronger than me,” Robinson said.

Asked if he had any comment regarding the incident, Aikens said Wednesday, “As of right now, I really don’t.” Later he called a reporter, describing the incident as “not that serious” and saying “it was a mistake of mine that was made.”

Aikens’ manager, Pat Doran, declined comment.

The alleged assault in Robinson’s home was different from what happened in an Atlantic City boxing ring after Aikens won his fourth professional fight in February 2012: Aikens dropped to one knee and proposed to Robinson.

“I’ve been planning this for weeks,” Aikens said at the time. “We’ve been together for two years and have a wonderful son together. She’s put up with all my (baloney) and is still with me, so I know she’s the one.”

Robinson said they never married.

Now, Aikens, 26, of the 500 block of Kentucky Avenue in Atlantic City, is charged with aggravated assault following his arrest Aug. 3, said Millville Sgt. Ross Hoffman. Aikens was released from jail Aug. 19 on $250,000 bail, he said.

Hoffman said he couldn’t comment further on the incident because it involves domestic violence.

A police report of the Aug. 2 incident mirrors Robinson’s statements. Robinson provided The Press of Atlantic City with a copy of the report.

Robinson said she and Aikens share custody of their children, 2-year-old Caile and 4-year-old Azi.

Aikens picked up the children July 31 but wanted to return them the same day, texting Robinson saying he was despondent and contemplating suicide, Robinson said. Aikens repeated those comments at her home about 1 a.m. Aug. 1, she said.

“Something happened in his life that precipitated this,” Robinson said.

Then about 6 a.m. Aug. 2, Robinson said she and Aikens “bickered.” Robinson said Aikens ran up the stairs, grabbed her from behind while she was holding Caile, choked her and pulled her to the floor. According to Robinson, Aikens then punched her several times in the face.

“He put a towel over my face,” Robinson said. “It was just all this blood.”

She said her son Azi saw the assault.

Robinson said Aikens then fled the house, but not after telling her to tell police the assault was caused by another woman.

Emergency personnel arrived and immediately put her on a stretcher and had her airlifted to Cooper. She said she was released from the hospital later that day.

Robinson said this wasn’t the first time Aikens assaulted her, and that he spent a day in jail after giving her two black eyes in January 2014.

She said she’s already notified officials at the State Athletic Control Board about the charge levied against Aikens.

The board regulates boxing and fighters in New Jersey. Officials with the agency couldn’t be reached for comment regarding possible action against Aikens.

Aikens has a 10-0 record with one knockout. His last fight was in May, when he won a six-round, unanimous decision over Chicago’s Edgar Perez at the Claridge Hotel in Atlantic City.

Aikens fights as a light-heavyweight, a weight class for fighters between 168 and 175 pounds.

Dude has only 1 KO out of his 10 wins, but that's against professionals. Obviously, he has more than enough power to hurt the average joe....let alone a woman

Explain yourself scrappy:usaywhat:

 

[SuikodenII]

Fair points across the board. +REP sent

But while we're going on about boxer health...what about the health of these gatekeepers, fringe contenders and journeymen, who are constantly placed in mismatches against fighters they have no business in the ring with...and have to incur knockouts and prolonged beatdowns over & over & over again because top guys don't want to face eachother?

Getting seperated from their senses several times a year isn't good for the health...but nobodys thinking about these guys...we only suddenly become concerned with health when it's a "star" fighter that's asked to take on greater challenges....and really, is it too much of a health rish and "imhumane" to ask guys that only fight 2-3 times a year to fight the next best guy in their division in all or the majority of their fights?

Of course most of the matchmaking is left in the hands of the manager and promoter...and only a handful of boxers in the sport at any given time have the clout to pick and choose what boxers they face...but still...

And if someone is THAT worried about their health...they're in the wrong profession.



And while i do agree the scheduling and amount of rds fought in the late 1890's-early 1900's was over the top...it shows a proven, superior level of toughness & grit (physically & mentally) over boxers who compete under safer modern rules/guidelines and scheduling...doesn't mean they're BETTER neccesarily, just physically and mentally tougher because they were able to endure a more tenacious set of rules/guidelines and scheduling...and were able to persevere.

Does this mean Joe Gans can't get outboxed by Mayweather because he has a superior level of toughness & grit? NO.

-Absolutely not. When I say inhumane and health risk, I'm referring to fighting way out of your own weight class. I'm referring to fighting 10+ times a year. I'm referring to getting KO'd and being back in the ring a week later. Genetics and life environments make certain human beings able to withstand harsher conditions than others, but you have to understand that they are also exceptions to the rule. Humans are very fragile, especially in the brain area. That's cross generational, not just relegated to the "good ol' days" when you had to go through what we now look back at as insane.

-Fighters are supposed to fight the best at their division, I have no argument about that. However, even the question of who's the best is subjective. Some think GGG is already at hall of fame level while others may think he's simply an over-hyped power puncher being placed in winnable match-ups while wearing suspiciously weight-dispersed gloves. Some believe fighters such as Yoko Gushiken and Hilario Zapata have no business in the Hall of fame. Others believe it was long overdue.

-Is it fair to journeymen to have to take the unnecessary punishment to put food on their plate? Hell no. Does this sport care? No. Boxing is the wild wild west. You are literally placing yourself in the ocean with sharks and being asked to survive for years on your own because 9/10 you don't have good people behind you making sure your health, physically and economically, is being put first. As long as there's no official international oversight on this sport, it will continue to be what it is.

-Mostly poor and uneducated, these guys get swallowed up one-by-one, it's child's play to the seasoned money makers in this game, and they know it. Nobody, from the promoters, to the managers, to the networks, to the sanctioning bodies, to the state commissions want to see a change because it's catered towards them having all of the power and "change." The fighters, the ones who take the risks each time they step into the ring, they're at the very bottom of the totem pole in the boxing power hierarchy.

-As far as proven that they were tougher....... I disagree. It just proves that they chose to endure what they had to at that time. Boxing is still an incredibly dangerous sport, rule changes and all, and it still takes an incredible amount of courage and heart to step in between the ropes and risk your life for entertainment value. Fighters back then didn't have any other options, if they wanted to be a fighter they had to endure what was necessary. It's the same today, only now we have the wisdom to see the risks for what they are and adjusted the rules and regulations accordingly so that we can attempt to have longer careers, less tragedies, and overall happier endings.

Explain yourself scrappy:usaywhat:

im not really against woman beating after my recent experiences with what they are capable of doing to next mans life. especially these modern women who act like men and start throwing punches at us lmao. ive seen some lesbian acting real tough in my local pub last week. getting in the wrong dudes face and shouting acting aggressive. dude just breaks the fukk out of her nose with a lil right hand like it was nothing. everyone was laughing because she got what she deserved. so i dont look down on woman beaters because women absolutely give men many reasons to hit them.

its mainly modern women that were raised on this version of feminism that men and women are equals in every department.

She got what she deserved, a broken nose, because she was in someone's face shouting?



There is NEVER any reason to beat up on a woman unless your life was in danger.....cowards

 

[yo moms]

she was being very aggressive and dangerous. thats why everyone was laughing and even the police didnt bother with it. she also tried to act all innocent and that she was hit for no reason after acting like a maniac in front of bare witnesses. thats why i dont believe anything a woman says unless ive seen what happened. theres a compilation on youtube of wmen being hit by men and the common theme in all these videos is the woman acting very aggressive, asking to fight and throwing punches at the guy. the guy doing his best to avoid the confrontation until he has no choice but to punch her in the face. then the woman acting all innocent and shyt.

every man and woman has a right to use physical force to defend themselves. ive never actually hit a woman despite being slapped and punched on many occasions lmao. but ive been arrested and charged for beating women who had no marks on their faces at all lmao.
