I'm looking forward to seeing Lamont successfully defend his title against unbeaten Canadian Dierry Jean at the DC Armory on January 25th.

They were homeless at one point, right? I imagine this is something close to them.

Good to see fighters giving back and helping others.

Waitaminute here, Now while I usually wouldn't be critical of helping the needy, why throw them a party? Why not get these people an apartment or something useful?

Because they are not the federal government or a welfare office. There is nothing to criticize here. They helped in a way that most people don't.

Agreed. I don't think BoJ knows how high the rent is in DC, even in SE its sky high.
