Wilder suspended??

[Citizen Koba]

You should know this but it's not a huge deal. Just think about journeymen who fight to survive and are overly defensive. This is why. So they can get another fight/payday sooner if they don't get knocked out or TKO'd.

Did you read that article I posted on Kristian Laight, man...

Over a creer of 17 years the dude fought 300 times, lost 279 of 'em and only got KOd 5 times... exactly because he picked his fights with a degree of care and fought to avoid sustaining serious damage. Dude was always in demand because he was good at what he did - lose well, but always with an eye to fighting the following week or fortnight.

There's probably many worse livings I guess and he got to be around the sport he loved.

I loved this bit:

His secret judgment on prospects was sought in private and he was seldom wrong; he knew if a touted kid could fight and that’s priceless info in our business.
