Mines? i know its petty but wtf is the point adding the s it just makes you sound like a moron, Shakur is good but he will have trouble with the top fighters of that division.

Same reason why we say “you what”, “me” instead of my, same as we worker bees say “dead” as an adjective for very, and I could do this all day about how we talk on the U.K. especially in northern England. It’s all about regional dialects. This young man is from the foundational black American ethnic group, a group shaped by 400-500 years of existence with not even a century of legal equality in education. Boxers don’t come from the educated class, though less than 18% of black Americans live in poverty it’s probably a good bet that the majority of boxers are not coming from upper middle class homes

Shakur has one problem! He couldn’t hurt the smaller guys, and now you about to get in with bigger, stronger, just as fast and hit way harder. It won’t be a cake walk, the lightweights have a lot of talent so we’ll see.

not angry at all i just dont understand changing a word from mine to mines its literally just adding a letter making it more work if anything, just trying to understand the logic behind it.

Indont think he really cares about finishing or pushing for the ko when he stings someone. He isn’t heavy handed but I do think he could produce more stoppages if he tried for them. I think he has the mentality of winning in the safest manner possible and people like that tend not to produce a lot of ko’s

First up should be Chris Colbert in Newark! That would be a sellout crowd! NJ vs. NYC! MAN UP!

Agreed, if you keep your head straight you will take over 135. The gas station street fight and missing weight are cause for concern. That being said, the power, combos, and toughness are coming along just fine. All you need are the fights.
