Comments Thread For: Spence: Was a Miracle From God, I Feel Real Gracious

Atheists will claim this isn't the Lord's doing.

They won't know or admit God exists, but if they go to Mexico, and mi gente, have them at gun point, they suddenly believe..

I am feeling a bit mexican nostalgic... *** mex.. para morir iguales.

lemme try to share with you, the arabic influence on spanish,,,, I school pendejo's who think they know something.. that they do not know chit..

One of my best friends is ******, as are a few other friends and acquaintances, so I’ve become used to seeing the word “insh’Allah” added to the ends of sentences online over the years to mean “hopefully” (or literally, “if Allah/God [is] willing.”)

At some point it occurred to me that “insh’Allah” sounded very similar to one of my favorite Spanish words, “ojalá” – which also means “hopefully.” Could there be a connection? I wondered.

If you haven’t guessed by now, “ojalá” does indeed derive from the Arabic “insh’Allah,” thanks to the Moors who ruled Spain.

(Since knowing this, when I text or email my friend something I’m hopeful about, I often type “hopefully/ojalá/inshAllah.”)

Another Spanish word that allegedly derives from Arabic: ¡Olé!

According to the book, “Everything You Need to Know About Latino History: 2008 Edition” by Himilce Novas, “Olé is a Spanish word adapted from ‘Allah,’ the Arabic name for God. So when Spaniards cry ‘¡Olé!’ at a bullfight, they are saying ‘Praise Allah!’ — even if they really mean ‘Viva,’ which is Spanish for ‘Long live!’ or in some circles, ‘Man Alive!'”

While looking through lists of Spanish words of Arabic origin I spotted several of my favorite words:

Yes, God took time to save an alcoholic during a DUI so you could keep ducking Crawford

Accident must've made this guy delusional or half ******ed

Anyway, let’s see if he’s the same fighter.

Maybe football (soccer) fans will know about an Italian player Lentini in the 90’s

He was the worlds most expensive player at one point and then got into a major car accident. After that he was never the same player. He was healthy and could still play, but everything was a fraction off and he went from being the worlds most expensive player to a pretty average player. Everything seemed completely fine on the surface and lives a healthy life, but just couldn’t play like before. The co-ordination was gone.

Gianluigi Lentini was valued insanely just because he was being used as a cover for money laundering activities involving Silvio Berlusconi and the Italian Socialist Party.

He had that car accident while he was dating the wife of Salvatore Schillaci, with whom he was about to have a clandestine meeting

He was not THAT good a player as they hyped him to be.

Where’s this whole alcoholic rumour come from?

There’s no reason to really think he is. Yeah he was drunk driving, but many many people do it every day. The vast majority are just idiots, not alcohol dependant.

He’s certainly an idiot for drink driving, but doesn’t seem like an alcoholic to me.

For now yes, just a rumour. But even a single time drunk does not bode well for a professional fighter. We'll see what happens next year.

God has always favored the welterweight division.

No, he prefers the light-heavyweights. His son Andre Ward used to fight there.

Manny vs Spence 2020
Crawford vs Spence 2022 (Arum's Voice)

[BadMedicin3]

He's a savage.












Ayyy lmao

[Nightfall]

He needs to do road work for six months to get the motor running. He did not look or sound good last night in the interview.

[Rigpig]

It’s obvious Spence has a drinking problem. Many of his interviews he’s slurring his speech and clearly intoxicated. It’ll end up catching up to him.

[wrecksracer]

God wants to see you fight Crawford. Don't let him down.
