    I thought about Erik Morales trilogy with Pac. Sat on his ass looked at his corner- I saw it we all saw it - before he got up he said with his eyes
    "Fuck this...this dude bounced me off the ropes on to the canvass & he aint even got warmed up yet."

    Biting both ears is the ultimate copout. Today we still love him.

    I was angry at Benn and angry at Haye on their last fights also. Both didn't want to be there

    I don’t even think it was that Haye didn’t want to be there. He wouldn’t have wanted Bellew of all people to beat him up.
    What fucked me off was he was clearly not fit to fight, but he just took the pay check and made cunts out of all of us.
    Surely with all the money at stake and spent on these fights, they should have to take fitness test. Fucking disgrace really.

    When you hear what Simone Biles testified before the Senate about abuse she suffered at the hands of their former team doctor, Larry Nassar, then you can empathise with the mental pressure and trauma she has had to fo through.

    Heard Paul Merson on GMB and he was in tears about his mental ill health and gambling addiction. He had everything but at the same time had nothing. He won the title in 1991 had had no carpet at home.

    You have to buy the book.

    Paul Mersin has an app that stops him receiving any gambling advertising which could tempt him back into that addiction. My nephew's all gamble on their phones and are constantly at it. It is very dangerous how easy it is.

    Actually I remember now. It wasn’t junkies who stole his carpets.

    It was rug addicts
