Sad To Hear But It's Not IF Death, But WHEN...

Prayers out to an Olympian who represented our Country well, better than it gets represented today. Prayers are miraculously he gets healed. Most importantly prayers are he's saved by Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9.

*** NO!!!! Huge fan of Davis!! I wanted him to win a title so bad!! I was hoping he didn't get knocked down against Rosario because he was doing so well in that fight.

Growing up on Long Island and watching him in the Olympics, hoping he'd win a title, I'm sad to hear this.
