Deontay Wilder arrested- domestic violence-strangulation.

[beenKOed]

Let's give it a day or two to see what the whole story is, you know, before we hang him by his testicles from the barn door.
However it plays out, it's going to be costing lots of money and some jail time. Wow, what a dunce!

[bzkfn]

What a dumb bastard. What is ironic about this is she was probably his toughest opponent to date.

[El Kabong]

If this is true I won't be a fan of his anymore

Sure, fellas already hanging this dude out to dry, but they give mayweather a bye though he was charged with beating 6 different women, convicted for several of them, only incarcerated for one...

Typical boxing fans....

These are violent men, they get the adulation of the masses for committing violence, and people raise them up for it.
Before they got into boxing, they were violent, and upon becoming boxers, violence as the answer to everything is positively reinforced, and violence may pay them millions of dollars per fight.
Having a good PR man to come up with a good public image is bull$#!t, and Boxing fans seem to want to believe in that bull$#!t. Managers and promoters realized a hundred years ago that fans demanded a clean public image out of these rowdy violent men in a very dirty sport, so they gave the fans the image they wanted. It's bull$#!t, but that's what the fans want.

I think if any boxer's your role-model, then you're in big trouble...
How many other sport's have so many participants that were in reform school?
Does any other sport have more participants than boxing regarding arrest records, incarceration, and just one legal jam after another?

It always has been, and it always will be...

whats your point?

There are some boxers like Wladimir Klitschko and Sergio Martinez who are good role models.

They have too much class to ever beat up a woman.

There are some posters who can go into a thread without posting about Wlad.

Let's be fair about this, boxing has helped more people get their lives together than it has hurt.
Let's not forget that judges, lawyers, mechanics, carpenters, CEOs, electricians, pro athletes from every sport, to make a long list shorter, I'll just say men from every walk of life slap women around on a daily basis.
I'm not saying what Wilder did is acceptable in any form or measure, what I am saying is that all forms of violence against women is a global phenomenon that runs through every culture and strata of that culture.
Like I said, let's give it a couple of days.

You are allowed to use reasonable force. If a smack in the mouth is gonna save your life then go for it. If she is that much bigger and stronger, then you are probably better off walking away long before you get on her nerves,especially if she can't control her temper.

Right, so hitting a woman is perfectly understandable depending on the circumstances. Therefore - "you can't hit a women no matter what" is silly and just not realistic.

Boxers aren't my role models, but I certainly as a man and as a fan of the sport can expect them to act with class outside of the ring. If Wilder did what he did, I'm not shunning him forever but he should know that's a line no man should ever cross and it is unacceptable behavior NO MATTER what the woman has done, it is wrong to hit a woman it's just that simple.

I agree, and the penalty should be stiff enough to hurt plus leave a lasting impression.

What about if she's really getting on your nerves, like really nagging, a good smack in the mouth to educate her can't be out the question, surely?
