A bunch of drunk, rowdy, racist Austrailians in the arena....soccer atmosphere
Come on, man
I do..gradovich is a former featherweight champion who hadn't been stopped before
I gotta blame this on haymon....somebody has to make Gary fight more..its his fighter....gary is the number one feather in the world..cant be fighting once every 12 months
7 months
Come on, man
Are you telling me that a white Australian vs a Black American wont bring out the racists in a country where questions like
Opinion | Why Isn’t Blackface Taboo for Australians? are being asked?
Yall got racists over there too breh.
But don't worry, Jo Jo Diaz would eat that like scooby snacks
We've seen Valdez hurt by Marriaga & dropped by a guy who only has 12 KOs out of 30 fights.....I think Valdez should be the one more worried about if he can eat Diaz' shots like Scooby Snacks breh
14:00 - 14:24 timestamp or with :49 seconds left in the 4th
Diaz is a much more gifted puncher than Servania, and has shown a better chin than Valdez this far as well
I just wanna see who's really better
I don't understand what the WBC is doing at 140, why is Imam(1) fighting Ramirez(4) instead of Prograis(2)? Plus there are less promotonial blocks if you do Imam vs Prograis since they have both fought a bunch on Showtime.

First off Don King, like Al Haymon, is another Cleveland legend & #OhioPlayer
He doing right by his fighters, as a promoter, to get BOTH Stiverne and Imam ranked #1 in their respective divisions after major set backs
As far as sanctions, he took it right in front of them and was upfront about it...they gave him a pass bc, apparently, he couldnt submit a piss sample for them:
"Throughout the investigative process, Stiverne has been extremely cooperative and 100 percent forthcoming," the WBC said. "Stiverne informed the WBC that on the day of the test, in order to facilitate urination, he took a dietary supplement called Superharm in front of the sample collector. He reported the ingestion of that supplement in the declaration of medication use section of the doping control form he filled in connection with the test.
"Stiverne also reported that he ingested the supplement twice the same day and that he took it because the supplement staff at EOS Gym in Henderson, Nevada, recommended it to him. He was looking for a product that would help him with post-workout fatigue. Stiverne is fully aware of the gravity of the mistake he made by taking an off-the-shelf supplement without investigating its ingredients in detail. Stiverne also realizes that he is ultimately responsible for anything that he ingests. In short, he now realizes that he was very naïve by following a store's recommendation of an off-the-shelf supplement while being ignorant of its contents."
The WBC said in its report that it will still sanction the bout for the interim title because Stiverne has never had a positive test in the past and "there is no evidence that Stiverne intentionally or even knowingly ingested a banned substance with the purpose of enhancing his performance in any fashion. Stiverne's ingestion of DMAA was purely accidental."
Stiverne tests positive; fight with Povetkin still on
Dont get me wrong, I dont want to fight the Dehydration Sensation again either, but unless Hearn was going to pay Stiverne, it makes no sense for Wilder to pay him over 1 million in step aside fees.
My grandparents have allegedly partied with Don in the 70s he’s a Cleveland legend with a hell of a past.
Not only does @BlackManLiveFromLondon wanna be down with #TruthSeekers after watching Brook get his orbital bone destroyed in his own hometown....but now his promoter wanna join #TheSeekers as well
Once "The Truth" is revealed...its only a matter of time before you wanna convert into a seeker

i think ramirez is ranked 3rd...but regardless having the number 1 face the number 3 is odd while prograis #2 is facing postol who is #4...ramirez also has another fight scheduled already in november vs mike reed on that espn tripleheader..if ramirez loses that fight than mike reed takes over that ranking lol...which would all be avoided if wbc made imam vs prograis like they should...sanctioning bodies
We've seen Valdez hurt by Marriaga & dropped by a guy who only has 12 KOs out of 30 fights.....I think Valdez should be the one more worried about if he can eat Diaz' shots like Scooby Snacks breh

I just wanna see who's really better
you've seen exactly how many of Servania's fights breh? More than likely one just like myself, props if more.......but dude was still undefeated and could take a hell of a punch. Diaz has 13 KO's out of 25 wins aka nothing to worry about. The same way that Valdez drops his hands or backs up in straight lines, Diaz doesn't move his head, and doesn't carry heavy hands. Diaz may have better technical defensive skills right now, but that's where it ends. His head don't move with his body when he punches and that's where it starts and ends, especially against someone with a strong hook. Valdez goes hard on his left hook, body and head. Diaz, even as a southpaw, is extremely open to be countered over the top of his jab, or left hand, because he doesn't slip punches.

Wow, you can google, that's awesome! Also, that link is from the New York Times, so technically that question was being asked in America. And for the record, the vast majority of us understand why blackface is totally inappropriate, and do not support it in any fashion.
I didn't say we don't, but making a blanket statement like
I mean, the implication is clear, and it's not only wrong, it's offensive.
The racist part, I mean. We probably will all be drunk.
